Skintegrity
Blueberry NECTA® Upcycled a by-product of juicing industry- An antioxidant-rich active oil that shields the skin from blue light exposure. Rich in essential fatty acids and protective phytosterols, together with a standardised level of carotenoids, it protects against oxidative stress by neutralising free radicals and external pollutants. It's also a natural source of pro-retinol; making it particularly ideal for both anti-ageing & blue light protection skincare. Blueberry NECTA has been proven to absorb blue light, working as a natural shield against HEV exposure from the sun and digital devices. In an absorbance study blueberry NECTA was shown to absorb high energy visible light at 3% use level. Blue light can stimulate photo ageing and over time can lead to skin discolouration, inflammation and a weakened skin surface. Stevisse embodies a retinol like mechanism that minimises the appearance of fine lines for younger looking skin. Pro retinol is milder than retinol and doesn’t degrade when in the suns rays. It is less likely to irritate the skin making it a better choice for those with sensitive skin, acne and rosacea.
Its benefits include:
reduces the appearance of fine lines, has a resistance to photo-ageing
aids cellular renewal
Increases collagen production through hydration
Sun protective properties - this will not replace your normal SPF 50 however it can offer some defence against harmful UV rays this is due to pro retinol remaining stable in sunlight (the same is not to be said for retinol, that can make your skin sensitive to sun)

Tranexamic Acid -
Specific to treating hyperpigmentation. It interrupts and slows melanin activity and synthesis, effectively fading dark marks. Tranexamic acid is derived from an essential amino acid and is best known for its brightening abilities. When applied it can alter the way cells produce melanin by interrupting pathways in the skin that might otherwise lead to an uneven skin tone. Tranexamic acid is not an exfoliant. It lightens areas affected with discolouration, including melanoma and age spots.
Other benefits include:
Stronger skin barrier
The skin barrier aids in protecting the skin and helps keep moisture in and toxins and irritants out. Strengthening the skin barrier can significantly reduce rosacea symptoms. It combats sensitivity with its anti inflammatory benefits and reinforces the skins natural barrier.
Reduced discolouration after acne breakouts and sun damage
Sometimes, acne breakouts cause marks on the skin which can be red, pink, or purple patches of discolouration, Tranexamic acid can lessen the appearance of these. Tranexamic acid can improve skin tone and reduce sun-related redness and dark spots.

After applying If you wish to use a moisturiser, we suggest waiting until the Tranexamic acid has absorbed into the skin then apply your moisturiser.
Lupine Peptides Lupine peptides are proteins derived from lupin beans, a legume with high nutritional value. These peptides have gained attention for their potential health benefits, including antioxidant and antihypertensive properties. Lupine peptides offer various benefits when incorporated into skincare products. They are known for their skin-conditioning properties, helping to enhance moisture retention and improve overall skin texture. Additionally, lupine peptides may support collagen synthesis, contributing to skin elasticity and firmness.
Due to their antioxidant properties, lupine peptides can help combat free radicals, potentially reducing oxidative stress on the skin. This can contribute to a more youthful appearance by minimising the impact of environmental factors on skin aging.
Furthermore, lupine peptides have been explored for their potential to support wound healing and skin regeneration. These properties make them valuable ingredients in skincare formulations aimed at promoting skin health and addressing signs of aging.
Eco Marine Algae
Due to the risk of pollution in the seas our eco marine producer grows the microalgae in a purpose built eco facility. This not only guarantees purity of the algae but also means that the eco balance of the oceans are not disturbed by uncontrolled harvesting.
Eco-marine algae derived from sustainable and eco-friendly sources, can offer several benefits in skincare products:
Hydration: Algae are rich in humectants, helping to attract and retain moisture on the skin’s surface. This can contribute to improved hydration, making the skin appear more plump and supple.
Nutrient-Rich: Algae are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These nutrients can nourish the skin, support its natural barrier function, and protect against environmental stressors.
Age Well Properties: Some algae contain compounds that may help in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They can support collagen production and promote skin elasticity, contributing to a more youthful complexion.
Calming and Soothing: Algae extracts often have soothing properties, making them suitable for sensitive or irritated skin. They may help reduce redness and inflammation.
Detoxification: Algae can assist in detoxifying the skin by helping to eliminate impurities and pollutants. This detoxification process may contribute to a clearer complexion.
Brightening: Certain types of algae contain pigments that can contribute to a brighter and more even skin tone. They may help reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Cucumber Extract
Cucumber extract is a popular ingredient in skincare products, offering several benefits:
Hydration: Cucumber has a high water content, making it an excellent natural hydrator. In skincare, cucumber extract helps to moisturise and soothe the skin, leaving it feeling refreshed.
Anti-Inflammatory: Cucumber contains anti-inflammatory compounds, such as flavonoids and tannins. This makes it effective in calming irritated or inflamed skin, reducing redness and puffiness.
Antioxidant Properties: Rich in antioxidants like vitexin, cucurbitacins, and beta-carotene, cucumber extract helps protect the skin from free radicals. This can contribute to preventing premature aging and maintaining skin health.
Skin Brightening: Cucumber extract contains enzymes and natural acids that may help lighten and brighten the skin. This can contribute to a more even skin tone and reduced appearance of dark spots.
Gentle Exfoliation: Cucumber has mild exfoliating properties, helping to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. This gentle exfoliation can promote a smoother complexion.
Anti-Puffiness: The cooling properties of cucumber can help reduce under-eye puffiness. Skincare products with cucumber extract are often used to alleviate swelling and soothe tired eyes.
Tightening and Toning: Cucumber extract contains compounds that may have a tightening effect on the skin. This can contribute to improved skin elasticity and a firmer appearance.
Cucumber extract is generally well-tolerated by most skin types, making it a versatile and refreshing addition to skincare routines.
