This is critical for healthy, bright skin. Additionally, it helps reduce redness, skin yellowing, and promotes an even skin tone.

Hexylresorcinol – helps to promote an even skin tone and calm skin.

InflaShield™ – a patented cosmetic ingredient shown to reduce the sub- clinical inflammation that contributes to aging.

Ceramide NP – supports the renewal of the skin’s natural protective layer and forms an effective barrier against moisture loss; improves long-term moisturization and protects skin from external offenders.

Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract – provides the powerful polyphenols avenanthramides that function to calm and soothe skin while reducing sensitivity.Bisabolol – one of the principal, active compounds found in chamomile;
this ingredient contains MMPi properties to calm and soothe the skin while
attracting and retaining moisture.
