Vitamin E
Is an important fat-soluble antioxidant that protects the skin from various deleterious effects due to solar radiation by acting as a free-radical scavenger. Free radicals are molecules that damage the DNA in cells. Our vitamin E is kept stable via individual packaging that does not expose the vitamin E to air, which compromises the formulation.

Sodium Hyaluronate (Extracted from Hyaluronic Acid)
Sodium Hyaluronate is extracted from hyaluronic acid and has a lower molecular weight than HA, meaning it’s small enough to penetrate the epidermis, or top layer of the skin. In turn, it can improve hydration from the underlying skin layers. Sodium Hyaluronate moisturizes the skin, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and skin inflammation.
