Mild skin irritation possible in sensitive individuals, rare sensitization

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

Limited skin irritation in sensitive individuals, lack of systemic safety data, no nutritional value

Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate

Potential skin irritation, allergic reactions, lack of long-term safety data

Xanthan Gum

Minor gastrointestinal intolerance in high amounts, possible allergen for sensitive individuals

PPG-26-Buteth-26

Potential skin irritation or sensitization in sensitive individuals, environmental persistence concerns

Pentapeptide-18

May reduce appearance of wrinkles, supports skin smoothing effects

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38

Potential increase in collagen synthesis, may reduce appearance of wrinkles, improved skin hydration

Allantoin

Skin soothing, promotes wound healing, moisturizes skin, non-irritating

L-Aspartic Acid

Protein synthesis support, amino acid metabolism, energy production, neurotransmitter synthesis

Zinc PCA

Antimicrobial, reduces sebum production, helps manage acne-prone skin, regulates skin microbiome

Citric acid

Regulates pH, enhances flavor, acts as preservative

Aqua (Water)

Solvent, diluent, carrier for active ingredients

Lactococcus Ferment Lysate

Moisturizing properties, soothing skin effects, postbiotic benefits

Glycine

Supports protein synthesis, neurotransmission, and collagen production

Serine

Supports protein synthesis, participates in cellular metabolism

Proline

Supports collagen synthesis, promotes wound healing, may benefit skin and joint health

Trehalose

Stabilizes proteins and cell membranes, protects against dehydration and oxidative stress, used as a sugar substitute

Fructose

Provides sweetness improving palatability, source of quick energy

Glucose

Provides rapid energy source, used in medical nutrition and food formulations

Maltose

Source of energy as a carbohydrate, used in food formulations for sweetness and fermentable substrate

Sodium lactate

Acidity regulation, moisture retention, preservative effect

Sodium Chloride
