β’Sodium Hyaluronate β attracts and maintains moisture. Closely related to hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate is a powerful humectant that acts like a sponge on your skin β helping to attract vital moisture so your skin can use it more effectively. In addition, it can help reduce trans-epidermal water loss, a process through which water passes through the epidermal layer of the skin, evaporates and is lost forever. Slowing down this process is a good thing for your skin. Sodium hyaluronate also has moisturising benefits that leave skin feeling soft and smooth.
β’Botanical Extracts β natural age-fighting antioxidants. TimeWise Moisture Renewing Freshener has been formulated with two key age-fighting botanicals β Myrtus Communis and Lentil Seed Extract. Myrtus Communis is derived from myrtle, a flowering plant known for its replenishing properties. These ingredients have been shown to reduce the activity of enzymes involved in the breakdown of collagen.* And as an antioxidant, the Myrtus Communis extract helps neutralise the ageing effects of free radicals. Plus, itβs known to have a calming effect on the skin.
β’Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) β minimises the effects of UV damage.* Niacinamide is one of the two principle forms of vitamin B3 and is scientifically known to fortify the skinβs barrier. Maintaining a healthy skin barrier is a critical element of youthful skin because when the barrier is compromised, the skin can lose moisture and become more susceptible to damage. Niacinamide has been shown* to minimise the damaging effects of UV exposure that result in uneven pigmentation.
β’Acai Berry Extract (Euterpe Oleracea) β is an antioxidant superpower. This extract is derived from the superfruit that lives up to its name. The acai berry is native to South America and is a small, dark purple fruit that resembles a grape and is produced by the acai palm tree. This fruit has been reported to neutralise free radicals at a potency rate more than 80 times that of Green Tea, making it an antioxidant superpower.
β’Botanical Blend β TimeWise Moisture Renewing Freshener has been formulated with several botanical extracts including chamomile (Anthemus Nobilius Flower), lavandin (Lavandula Hybrid), rosemary (Rosemarinus Officinalis), rosewood (Aniba Rosaiodora) and geranium (Pelargonium Graveolens).
