ENCAPSULATED TIME-RELEASED RETINOL MICROSPHERES:
Agar micro-spheres produced by transacylation allow the encapsulation of fragile retinol.
This technology ensures that the micro-spheres reach the epidermis, where they are progressively opened by the activity of many different skin enzymes and gradually release retinol. This slow membrane digestion leads to a slow release of encapsulated retinol for better bioavailability, efficacy, and less irritation. The retinol thus contacts the skin and diffuses throughout the day. The modified release kinetics assured by encapsulation make them bio-compatible and hypo-allergen.

SHEA BUTTER:
Butyrospermum parkii, this plant lipid extracted from the karite tree, is used as an emollient, and its surface smoothing properties for dry skin. Shea butter doesn't just have a rich texture; it's also a rich source of Vitamin E, antioxidants, including quercetin, epicatechin gallate, gallocatechin, epigallocatechin, as well as skin-replenishing fatty acids (stearic and linoleic). They protect against dryness and soothe irritations.

VITAMIN E:
Promotes skin health and hydration and helps to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Occurs naturally in human skin, is a potent natural antioxidant, neutralizes free radicals, and protects against photo-aging.
Has wrinkle smoothing emollient properties when applied topically and can penetrate the skin to impart lasting moisture. It also promotes a stronger skin moisture barrier—a key characteristic of smooth, healthy-looking skin.
It increases the skin's capacity to retain water, effectively preventing dehydrated skin. By limiting trans-epidermal water loss, vitamin E also helps keep the natural moisture barrier intact

ASTAXANTHIN:
A naturally occurring reddish pigment derived from microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis is considered the most potent natural antioxidant without any pro-oxidative nature and highly efficient at counteracting reactive oxygen molecules. Besides its antioxidative potential, it has excellent anti-inflammatory properties.
It has been shown to improve overall skin health and counteract aging by providing comprehensive protection against oxidative degradation. Positive effects were demonstrated, particularly concerning elasticity, moisture retention, age spots, wrinkle depth, and skin texture. Astaxanthin improves skin elasticity by strengthening collagen and revitalizing stressed skin by removing free radicals in all dermal layers. It can restore the skin's natural antioxidant balance and protect cell membranes against lipid peroxidation.

OMEGA-3, 6, 9 POLYGLYCERIDES:
Vegetable-derived Omega-3,-6, 9- polyglyceride provide crucial hydration while locking in moisture; they assist with extending cell life and skin regeneration. In turn, skin appears plumper, and wrinkles are slower to develop and deepen. 
Also, because omega fatty acids have excellent anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, they help reduce irritation and protect your skin from environmental factors.

4 BOTANICAL OILS :
Non-fragrant nourishing organic oils enhance the skin's restorative properties and provide soothing benefits. They are a rich source of numerous fatty acids and antioxidants. They make the skin look healthy and younger by preventing epidermal water loss, repairing the skin's surface, and bolstering the skin's supply of antioxidants while protecting against environmental damage.
