What It Is

What It’s Good For

Key Ingredients

GLACIAL GLYCOPROTEIN

Originally sourced from Antarctic sea glaciers, Glacial Glycoprotein within our formulas helps to deeply hydrate and maintain skin’s moisture balance. Each time our Glacial Glycoprotein is produced, it’s done in an environmentally friendly manner, without further extraction of the glaciers, making this skincare ingredient a renewable raw material.
DESERT PLANT EXTRACT

Desert Plant Extract, also known as Imperata Cylindrica, has roots that contain high concentrations of potassium which is known to provide immediate and lasting hydration for dry skin. Native to many of Earth’s deserts, this plant is especially prolific in the Australian Outback and is believed to have been used as a substitute for salt by indigenous Australians of centuries past.
VITAMIN E

Found in nature and renowned for its proven antioxidant benefits, Vitamin E is known to help neutralize skin-damaging free radicals. In addition to antioxidant protection, Vitamin E is often used in moisturizing skincare products.
