L-Carnitine (also known as Carnitine) is an amino-acid-like substance found in the skin. It plays a key role in energy production within the cells as it helps the cell mitochondria (the power units for energy production) to metabolize lipids. It is used in hair products to support the hair’s energy supply and in skincare formulas to help reduce sebum production.

Decandiol (INCI: Decylene Glycol) is a moisturising ingredient for topical preparations with an additional anti-microbial effect.

Lichochalcone A is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that is derived from the roots of the Chinese licorice plant. This plant uses the antioxidative efficacy of Licochalcone A to protect its cells against UV-radiation. Builds an anti oxidative depot in the deeper epidermal skin layer and offers proven protection of skin cells against sun-induced damages caused by free radicals. When it is applied to irritated skin, Licochalcone A quickly reduces redness and helps to soothe inflammation.

Gluco-Glycerol (also known as Glyceryl Glucoside) is a nature-identical combination of glycerol and glucose. Used by blue-green algae to ensure their survival for 3.5 billion years, Gluco-Glycerol has been proven to stimulate the creation of Aquaporin 3 (AQP3) in human skin cells, thus increasing the number of aquaporins. Aquaporins control water transfer into and out of the cells. The more AQP3’s there are, the better the distribution of moisture within the deeper layers of skin.

By stimulating skin’s own water system, Gluco-Glycerol helps to moisture skin and improve its barrier function.

Like Urea, Lactate (the salt of Lactic Acid) is also produced naturally by skin and is part of the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) which regulates skin’s moisture content. Lactate absorbs and retains moisture within the stratum corneum, or upper layer of the skin, and therefore plays a vital role in maintaining the skin’s physical properties. Low levels of Lactate within the stratum corneum are known to be associated with dry skin.
