Benefits of plant-powered vitamin a Serum

• 0.5% Vitamin A Palmitate
  Vitamin A Palmitate or Retinyl Palmitate is nature identical but a synthetically derived version of Vitamin A (We’re a vegan brand after all).

1. Stable and less irritating than other Retinoids so suitable for those starting out on retinol or have sensitivities to it.
2. Cell turnover: Rejuvenates the skin by aiding cell turnover in the epidermis, helping old cells move along to make room for new cells.
3. Collagen production: Retinyl palmitate is converted to retinoic acid in the skin. It then binds to specific receptors in collagen producing cells that lead to increased collagen production, helping to provide structure, strength and support to the skin, resulting in a firmer, more youthful appearance.
4. Improves skin elasticity by removing degenerated elastin fibres and enhancing production of new elastin, again providing structure and support to the skin.

• • 4% Bakuchiol Bakuchiol is a plant alternative to Retinol and is thought of as a Vitamin A/Retinol alternative because it has been scientifically shown to act on the same retinoic acid receptors on the skin. This means that Bakuchiol has been shown to have the SAME effects as retinol, without many of the sensitivity issues some people have with retinoids.

1. Reduces wrinkles
2. Reduces hyperpigmentation
3. Stimulates Collagen production – firming
4. Improves elasticity – firming
5. Slows down the activity of enzymes that break down collagen and elastin
6. Antimicrobial effects
7. Antioxidant
8. Anti-inflammatory
9. Prevents oxidation of squalene in sebum to prevent clogged pores
10. Better tolerability on skin than retinoids

• Apple and Argan Sprout stem cells

1. Antioxidant – Rich in phytonutrients or antioxidants that prevent oxygen forming that will damage the cells causing premature ageing.
2. Enhances Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis – As skin ages, the levels of ADP in the skin declines creating an energy deficiency in the cells which affects the appearance of the skin. Boosting ATP synthesis will result in more radiant, rejuvenated looking skin.
3. Enhances Cellular metabolism – Biological processes take place in the skin, in the epidermis and the dermis that balance cell turnover, production of collagen and repair of cell damage. Over time the skin’s metabolism slows down. UV damage is one of the biggest factors to cause deterioration of skin metabolism. Boosting cellular metabolism allow for healthier skin.
4. Repair and Protection – Stem cells repair skin cells while also protecting the skin from external factors. They penetrate the skin, affecting it at a cellular level, delivering moisture and nutrients when they are needed.
5. Cell turnover – Stem cells promote cell turnover, which can result in improved skin texture and tone.
6. Increased Collagen production – Stem cells increase the production of collagen which can result in less fine lines and wrinkles.
