Look for these ingredients in your nature-inspired cosmetics to pamper your skin and enhance your wellness naturally!
This alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from fruit sugar is a powerful exfoliant that evens skin tone and restores your skin’s natural glow. In addition to its exfoliating properties, glycolic acid promotes skin hydration and stimulates collagen and elastin production in the body.
This elastic, moisture-attracting molecule helps to plump and firm the skin and improve its suppleness and tone. Products containing HA, like masks, creams, and serums, can be applied at any time of day.
This versatile edible plant is often used in masks, creams, lotions, and serums to moisturize the skin and prevent premature aging. It contains enzymes that promote healing, and its anti-inflammatory properties help relieve redness and irritation.
This ingredient is rich in vitamins and fatty acids, making it a must for nourishing hair, nails, and even the driest skin. Shea butter also promotes cell renewal and improves the elasticity and suppleness of the skin.
These natural lipids (fats) make up 50% of the skin’s composition. They act as a kind of “glue” between your skin cells and form a barrier that helps retain moisture. Ceramides are also excellent for soothing acne-prone skin and eczema.
These two proteins are naturally present in the fibres of the skin and play a key role in maintaining its structure and elasticity. As you age, your body produces less of these substances, which can lead to fine lines and wrinkles. Using products that contain collagen and elastin can help minimize these signs of aging.
Sourced from underground springs, thermal water is rich in minerals that moisturize and nourish the skin.

Use it in a mask, as a mist, or simply to rinse your face.
Commonly derived from vegetable oils, this viscous liquid is a highly versatile ingredient that moisturizes, softens, and protects the skin. Glycerin-based skincare products are recommended to relieve dry, dehydrated, and flaky skin.
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients for your body, including your skin. These natural lipids strengthen the epidermis and help reduce the skin’s sensitivity to UV rays. In short, omega-3s help keep skin rejuvenated, soft, and glowing. What more could you ask for?
