Apple stem cells

Apple stem cells are capable of penetrating numerous skin layers and self-renewal. They also regenerate skin tissue, delay signs of skin ageing and reduce wrinkles by up to 15 percent.

Hyaluronic acid

The key benefit of hyaluronic acid is its ability to retain moisture which is a blessing for dry and dehydrated skin. It boosts skin elasticity; and gives you a fresh, dewy look. It is also a natural humectant used in multiple premium skin products. Additionally, it helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles with unmatched efficacy and is thus considered an excellent anti-ageing ingredient.

Pomegranate

Pomegranate has been used in ancient texts and is known for its exceptional benefits for the skin. Rich in polyphenols like anthocyanins, ellagic acid, and many other plant polyphenols, its extract encourages collagen production and prevents premature ageing.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a popular antioxidant that reduces pigmentation and brightens the complexion. It also stimulates collagen production and strengthens skin defence against environmental stressors like the harmful effects of sun damage to keep your skin protected and youthful.

Pullulan

It is derived from red algae and acts as an antioxidant. Pullulan shields the skin surface against moisture loss, salt stress and UV radiation. It is also an instant skin-tightening agent and thus considered an ideal ingredient for anti-ageing products.
