Moreover, all of these ingredients are clean, natural and good for you on the inside too. Here's a list of ingredients we love (your skin would love 'em too)!
Kaolin
Kaolin has great soothing and absorbency properties due to which it is widely used in skincare products that are formulated to remove dead skin cells and absorb excess oil from the surface of your skin. It helps in keeping toxins out of your skin while improving skin's overall condition by de-clogging pores and removing acne. Though it is suitable for all skin types, it's a miraculous ingredient for those with oily or combination skin types.
Hyaluronic Acid
It is a superhero skincare ingredient which works as a moisture magnet and helps in keeping your skin healthy and plump! It also revitalizes skin’s outer layer so that it looks smooth and radiant. Hyaluronic acid’s antioxidant and skin-replenishing properties help mitigate issues like sun-damage, aging, etc. and if used with other great ingredients in your skincare routine, it can prevent your skin from premature aging.
Niacinamide
Commonly known as Vitamin B3, it helps in treating inflammation, reduces redness and locks the moisture within. Rich in antioxidants, it keeps your skin hydrated and evens out the skin tone while fighting hyperpigmentation. It is also known to keep your skin free from pollutants, irritants and clogged pores.
Methyl Suphonyl Methane (MSM)
Our skin is held together due to the production of a vital protein called collagen. It is responsible for the firmness and tightening of our skin but the production of collagen starts declining after the age of 35. To keep your skin healthy after that, MSM is one of the best ingredients to add into your skincare regimen. MSM is beneficial for your skin in numerous ways – from boosting collagen to increasing the permeability of your skin. It is known to promote the growth of body’s natural antioxidant which boosts the immune system, reducing cellular damage and pigmentation while keeping it soft, supple and youthful!
Green Tea
This is a superstar ingredient in almost every skincare product these days and there are a plethora of reasons why it should definitely be! It combats the signs of aging & reduces irritation, redness & swelling. Moreover, green tea maintains collagen levels for youthful skin structure and firmness. It contains powerful antioxidants which helps in soothing and improving the appearance of sun-damaged skin. Green tea has numerous health and appearance benefits which is why it is a widely-used ingredient in both edible and topical products!
