Our skin deserves
the best that nature has to offer!
• Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 and Olgiopentapeptide: Synthetic protein and peptides act as cellular messengers to stimulate collagen synthesis. They work similarly to Retinol andVitamin C. They help skin re-structure the extracellular matrix.
• Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7:A synthetic peptide complex that acts as a cellular messenger to stimulate collagen and HyaluronicAcid to increase skin elasticity and tone.
• Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (White and Green Tea):A powerful antioxidant which protects against ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species/free radicals), fights the formation ofAGEs in skin and inhibitsMMPs.
• Glycyrrhiza Glabra Extract (Licorice):A very versatile ingredient which is not only a powerful antioxidant being rich in polyphenols but also an excellent ingredient for treating hyper-pigmentation as it inhibits melanin biosynthesis.
• HyaluronicAcid: If you are seeking a high performance product that really works on dehydration, then choose one that contains HyaluronicAcid. It has the ability to hold 1000 times its own weight in moisture and it binds the moisture to the skin.
• Yeast Extract:A rich source of Beta Glucan - an immune stimulant for the skin which supports wound healing, collagen formation and increases oxygen utilisation in skin.
• HydroxyAcids (HA’s): The top performers are SalicylicAcid, not only a great ingredient for exfoliation and removing congestion and plugs of sebum (blackheads), but also has the added benefit of hydrating the skin. LacticAcid is an excellent exfoliant which is less irritating than Glycolic and has an added benefit of combating hyper-pigmentation.
Just as important as the ingredients to look out for are the ones to avoid:
• Artificial colours e.g. D & C Coal Tar dyes: Can cause breakouts and sensitivity. It is best to avoid them in your skin care products if you can, after all they have no skin benefit.
• Artificial fragrance: Is recognised as a common sensitising agent, in addition some artificial fragrances also react with sun light (photo sensitive) leading to hyper-pigmentation.

• Comedogenic ingredients: There are ingredients that are known to cause congestion in the follicle (blackheads) and should be avoided
e.g.Acetylated Lanolin, Butyl Stearate, Cocoa Butter, Flax Oil, Isoparraffin C9-11, Isopropyl Myristate, Linseed Oil,MyristylMyristate,Myreth-3Myristate, Octyl Palmitate, Octyl
Stearate.Always look for the term ‘non-comedogenic’when purchasing your skin care.
Finally, if you suffer from Coeliac Disease and you worry about gluten in skin care products, according to the Coeliac Society ‘gluten molecules are too large to be absorbed through the skin.’ If you’re having a reaction to a personal care product (for example, a moisturiser or a sunscreen lotion) that contains gluten, you may be allergic to one or more of the other ingredients.
I hope this simple guide to label reading helps empower you to have more informed discussions with your customers when purchasing their next skin care product.
