VITAMIN C:
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THD) 1%
What it is:
A next-generation, UV-stable form of Vitamin C that penetrates deeper into the skin than traditional forms like L-Ascorbic Acid.
Why it matters:
THD is clinically shown to boost collagen, fade dark spots, and protect against UV damage — all with minimal irritation, making it ideal for sensitive and mature skin. It also works in synergy with Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid for superior antioxidant protection.
VITAMIN C:
Ascorbyl Glucoside (AG) 12%
What it is:
A water-soluble, UV-stable form of Vitamin C that has far better stability and far less irritation than L-ascorbic acid.
Why it matters:
This powerhouse brightens skin, supports collagen production, and evens tone — without the irritation of pure L-ascorbic acid. When combined with THD, it creates a time-released, multi-layer antioxidant defense for lasting radiance and firmness.
POWER INGREDIENT:
Niacinamide 4%
What it is:
A multitasking vitamin known for its calming, brightening, and oil-regulating properties.
Why it matters:
Niacinamide supports the skin barrier, minimizes pore appearance, improves texture, and helps reduce the visible effects of hormonal fluctuations — making it perfect for perimenopausal skin.
POWER INGREDIENT:
Ferulic Acid 0.50%
What it is:
A plant-based antioxidant that stabilizes and boosts the effectiveness of Vitamins C and E.
Why it matters:
Ferulic Acid is a crucial ingredient in dermatologist-favorite serums that cost several hundred dollars. It defends against free radical damage and environmental aging, while enhancing the performance of other actives in your serum.
POWER INGREDIENT:
Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
A powerful antioxidant that protects skin cells from oxidative damage and environmental stress.
Why it matters:
Vitamin E helps stabilize Vitamin C, boosts the skin’s defense against UV-induced free radicals, and supports long-term collagen integrity. It also soothes inflammation and improves moisture retention — especially important for skin experiencing hormonal dryness or sensitivity.
POWER INGREDIENT:
Panthenol (Vitamin B5)
A provitamin that transforms into pantothenic acid in the skin, known for its powerful moisturizing and barrier-repairing benefits.
Why it matters:
Panthenol helps attract and lock in hydration while strengthening the skin’s protective barrier. It soothes irritation, reduces redness, and supports healing — making it ideal for sensitive, reactive, and hormonally stressed skin during peri- and post menopause.
POWER INGREDIENT:
Hyaluronic Acid (Dual Molecular Weight)
A moisture-binding molecule that can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, added in both low and high molecular weights.
Why it matters:
High-molecular HA hydrates the skin’s surface for a plump, dewy glow, while low-molecular HA penetrates deeper to improve elasticity and long-term moisture retention. This layered approach delivers visible smoothing and hydration without heaviness or pilling.
POWER INGREDIENT
Squalane (Plant-Derived) – 2.00%
What it is:
A light, non-comedogenic oil that mimics your skin’s natural lipids.
Why it matters:
Squalane restores moisture, reinforces the skin barrier, and leaves a smooth, silky finish without clogging pores. Especially beneficial for dry, thinning, or sensitive skin.

Licorice Root Extract
A gentle, plant-based brightener rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.
Why it matters:
Licorice Root helps fade hyperpigmentation, soothe redness, and calm sensitive or reactive skin. It’s especially effective for hormone-related discoloration or dullness, making it a natural ally for perimenopausal skin concerns.
