Fermented Minerals (Zinc, Copper, Magnesium, Iron, Silicon Ferments)
The hero. Zinc, copper, magnesium, iron, and silicon are minerals skin uses in its normal function, and levels decline with age and environmental stress. Fermenting them breaks the molecules down into smaller, more bioavailable forms. Together they support skin's balance, vitality, and overall healthy appearance. This is the ingredient that made me want to build the formula.
Green Tea Extract
One of the best-studied antioxidants in skincare. Green tea is rich in polyphenols that help protect the skin against environmental stressors, and it has a calming quality that soothes skin. It earns its place in almost any formula — here it does the heavy antioxidant work.
Aloe Vera Leaf Juice
Aloe delivers hydration without weight, along with its own polysaccharides and enzymes. It helps reduce the appearance of redness and irritation, which is why it's a mainstay for sensitive skin. It's a large part of why this feels weightless going on.
Chamomile Extract
Chamomile has been used to comfort skin for centuries, and modern formulations have caught up to the tradition. Its soothing compounds support sensitive and reactive skin, making it a natural partner to the aloe and allantoin here.
Cucumber Extract
Cool, hydrating, and quietly effective. Cucumber refreshes skin while helping comfort areas that look stressed or tired. It's the classic remedy for puffy under-eyes and contributes to the fresh, non-tacky finish.
Tamarind Seed Extract
A plant-based hydrator. Tamarind's polysaccharides help skin hold onto moisture and leave the surface noticeably softer. It's how this formula stays hydrating without anything heavy.
Allantoin
A gentle, well-tolerated conditioner that helps calm and protect the skin surface while supporting its natural renewal. Allantoin is one of those ingredients that doesn't get much attention but makes everything around it work better.
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
A conditioning protein that forms a light, breathable film on the skin surface, improving moisture retention and smoothness. It's part of why skin feels conditioned rather than simply damp after application.
