Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus), a flowering plant with roots deeply rooted in traditional Chinese Medicine, is hailed as an adaptogen. Functioning as a natural stress-resistor, it supports the body in handling physical, environmental, and emotional stressors.
This plant exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, making it a valuable topical solution for acne reduction, redness alleviation, and enhancement of skin elasticity. Its calming effects are particularly beneficial for skincare.
Astragalus root plays a pivotal role in fortifying the skin barrier. Abundant in flavonoids and polysaccharides, it boasts antioxidant capabilities, acting as a shield against free radicals. This botanical gem improves skin lesions and safeguards collagen from degradation caused by free radicals. Notably, Astragalus application has proven effective in enhancing skin affected by Atopic Dermatitis.

Shea butter, a natural plant fat derived from the nuts of the shea tree, undergoes a meticulous process. After the shea nuts are lightly boiled and sun-dried, they are ground into a paste. Through churning, the fat is extracted, resulting in the creation of shea butter. While raw shea butter is typically yellow, more processed versions may appear ivory or white.
As a naturally-derived plant ingredient, shea butter boasts a diverse composition of oils and fats. It contains oleic acid (40-60%), stearic acid (20-50%), linoleic acid (3-11%), palmitic acid (2-9%), and arachidic acid (less than 1%). In this complex structure, allantoin, along with vitamins E, A, and D, contributes to its skincare benefits. Shea butter shares similar anti-aging properties with green tea, acting as a plant-based antioxidant. This incredible ingredient aids in protecting and maintaining the skin’s natural barrier, providing antioxidant properties, and promoting effective skin moisturisation.

Cholesterol, a natural element in the skin’s barrier, contributes to 15% of its fatty acid content. Scientific studies highlight that a lack of cholesterol in the skin can result in dryness. When applied topically, cholesterol acts as a replenishing agent, promoting optimal moisture balance and enhancing lipid composition for skin that looks and feels healthier. This reinforcement of the outermost skin layers is pivotal in fortifying the skin against external stressors such as harmful bacteria and pollutants.

Ceramide EOP is a crucial component within the family of ceramides, naturally occurring as extended chains of lipids (fats) in the skin.
In its healthy state, skin comprises approximately 50% ceramides. However, as ceramide levels diminish with time, the skin’s protective barrier weakens, rendering it more susceptible to external stressors and dehydration. Enter ceramide EOP as a skincare ingredient – its topical application helps bridge this gap, fortifying the skin’s barrier against external factors. For optimal results, this should be complemented by a blend of other ceramides and replenishing elements such as fatty acids and cholesterol. This lipid synergy significantly enhances skin hydration, resilience, and suppleness.

Ceramide AP is a crucial component within the family of naturally occurring ceramides—a class of long-chain lipids (fats) present in the skin. To delve into its significance, ceramides constitute approximately 50% of the skin’s composition, with Ceramide AP contributing to about 16% of this ceramide spectrum.
Research indicates that a reduction in ceramide levels can compromise the skin barrier, rendering it more susceptible to external stressors. Notably, a decline in Ceramide AP has been associated with skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
Ceramide AP fortified the skin barrier against external aggressors. Ceramides, including Ceramide AP, play a pivotal role in sustaining skin health by signalling processes that contribute to overall skin well-being.

Ceramide NP stands out among the various ceramides naturally present in the skin. It serves a pivotal role as a key constituent of the outer skin layers, constituting approximately 50% of healthy skin ceramides, with a significant proportion being of the NP variety.
Studies indicate that skincare products incorporating ceramide NP can effectively enhance the appearance and texture of dry or dehydrated skin, owing to its remarkable water retention properties.
Furthermore, Ceramide NP has demonstrated its ability to fortify the skin’s barrier, providing increased resilience against external stressors. In summary, it contributes to achieving supple, resilient, and well-hydrated skin.
