Quercus Alba Bark Extract (Oak) — A densely rich botanical, oak bark is a cleansing, astringent, antiseptic, soothing, cooling, and vasoconstrictive ingredient. It contains OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins), antioxidants which protect against free radicals, and tannins, which act on surface proteins. Naturally occurring salicylic acid helps remove surface debris and cellular buildup.
Yucca Schidigera Extract —A natural anti-inflammatory herb that cleanses and improves the skin’s ability to expel cellular waste and environmental pollution.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract — An antioxidant that hydrates, soothes, and conditions the skin while regenerating tissue. It is photoprotective, stimulates the immune system, and boosts collagen synthesis; aloe also contains antiviral properties, antiseptic saponins, and anti-inflammatory enzymes. It is incredibly nutrient-rich with 75 active compounds, including vitamins A, C, E, B12, folic acid, potassium, fatty acids, and more.
Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5) —A humectant and emulsifier that balances oil production and inhibits the proliferation of skin microbes. Panthenol aids in tissue repair, collagen production, barrier function, and the synthesis and metabolism of lipids. It is converted to pantothenic acid, which is naturally found in skin and hair, and required for normal epithelial function.
Citrus Limon Peel Oil—Citrus oil is skin-conditioning and provides a light, uplifting fragrance. Lemon oil is also antioxidant and antibacterial and contains apigenin, a flavonoid known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Allantoin— Naturally found in the body, allantoin is mildly keratolytic (breaks down keratin) and encourages desquamation and cell regeneration. Allantoin locks moisture into the extracellular matrix, accelerates healing, and reduces hypersensitivity, making it ideal for distressed skin. It is found in plants like chamomile and treats dry skin, burns, acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and allergies. It also absorbs the UV spectrum, protecting cell DNA.
