HIALURONIC ACID

Hyaluronic acid has a water-binding role in the body, so it helps to preserve the youth and elasticity of the skin. It can bind several times the size of a hyaluronic acid molecule in liquid form, so it is very important that our cosmetics also contain this active ingredient, ensuring skin hydration.

Jojoba oil has a composition very similar to that of sebum produced by human skin, so it can be used in countless ways in body and skin care. Its high mineral and vitamin E content makes the skin radiant and has an anti-aging effect. Jojoba oil is also very useful for oily skin, as it normalizes sebum production.

LAVENDER OIL

Due to its antibacterial effect, lavender oil kills acne-causing bacteria and also disinfects wounds, making it excellent for acne-prone skin. It also relieves the symptoms of eczema, and its pleasant smell helps to relax after a tiring day.

PANTHENOL

Panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, is a substance with strong moisturizing and skin soothing properties, which is found in small amounts in almost all foods. It is used in skin care for its anti-inflammatory, sebum-regulating and wound-healing effects, and is also excellent for burns.

Q10

Coenzyme Q10 protects the skin against oxidative stress, harmful UV radiation and skin aging, as well as neutralizes harmful free radicals. Coenzyme is fat-soluble, so it can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and exert its beneficial effects there.
