Antioxidant, Skin Conditioning

Hydrolyzed Opuntia Ficus-Indica Flower Extract

Hydrolyzed Opuntia Ficus-Indica Flower Extract is derived from the flowers of the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) through an acid, enzyme, or other hydrolysis method that breaks down the plant material into smaller, more bioavailable molecules. It is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and amino acids, providing hydrating, soothing, and protective benefits to the skin.

Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract

Centella asiatica leaf extract is derived from a perennial herb native to Asia, traditionally used in medicine and cooking. It contains pentacyclic triterpene saponins — including asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid — that stimulate collagen synthesis, promote fibroblast proliferation, and increase glycosaminoglycan and hyaluronic acid production. The result is a multi-functional ingredient with soothing, antioxidant, moisturising, and skin-repair properties.

Albizia Julibrissin Bark Extract

Albizia Julibrissin Bark Extract is a plant-derived antioxidant obtained from the bark of the Persian silk tree (Albizia julibrissin), also known as the 'Tree of Happiness'. It works through multiple mechanisms: protecting cell membranes by preventing oxidation of low-density lipoproteins, shielding collagen and elastin fibres from glycation damage (the process where sugar molecules distort proteins, creating harmful AGEs), and supporting the skin's detoxifying enzyme systems including glyoxalase and proteasome.

Centella Asiatica Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract

Centella asiatica flower/leaf/stem extract is a broad-spectrum whole-plant extract derived from the flowers, leaves, and stems of centella asiatica (Apiaceae), a perennial herb native to Asia. Like the leaf-only extract, it is rich in pentacyclic triterpene saponins — asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid — which stimulate collagen synthesis, promote fibroblast activity, and boost glycosaminoglycan and hyaluronic acid production. The inclusion of flower and stem material may yield a slightly wider phytochemical profile, but the core skin-soothing, antioxidant, moisturising, and barrier-repair properties are equivalent to those of the leaf extract.
