The skin is an organ, made up of cells which are made up of water. Water helps for our organs to function optimally. Hydration will assist in avoiding dry, tight and flaky skin which becomes especially common during the winter months due to the harsher, colder weather. Sometimes the skin needs extra hydration boost to assist in maintaining moisture.
Pink's Superskin Moisturizer contains ingredients to help combat dry skin!Â
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is a powerful moisture-binding ingredient that doesn’t strip or damage the skins natural barriers and keeps skin supple, hydrated and youthful. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring carbohydrate in the human body. Babies are born with high levels of hyaluronic acid, which keeps their skin plump and smooth. Applied topically, it enhances hydration, enhances elasticity and also undoes damage caused by free radicals. Beneficial for all skin types. We use Hyaluronc acid that is 100% vegan, it is biotechnologically produced from glucose, soy peptone & yeast extract (does not contain any animal products).
Vitamin B5Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Also known as pantothenic acid, is a water soluble vitamin that possesses good skin permeability. Vital to maintaining good skin quality. Possible skin benefits of Vitamin B5 include moisturizing, rejuvenating, and soothing properties.Â
The efficacies of these benefits rely heavily on Vitamin B5’s ability to reinforce the skin barrier. In doing so, the skin’s surface becomes better equipped to retain moisture levels, thus promoting hydration. These moisturizing properties also lend a hand in creating a soothing effect. When topically applied, Vitamin B5 can help to reduce damage on the skin’s surface that may be contributing to irritation.Â
Squalane
Squalane is a poly-unsaturated hydrocarbon liquid commonly harvested from plant sources like olives, wheat germ oil and rice bran. It’s a slow-absorbing, non-toxic, softening and soothing natural lubricant. It’s a highly-effective moisturiser and natural antioxidant. Locking in moisture, helping eliminate dry patches and helps in preventing the appearance of fine lines and improving skin tone and texture.
Evening primrose oil
Evening primrose oil is extracted from pressing the seeds of the evening primrose oil; it is a powerful ingredient in treating acne, wrinkles and sensitive skin, known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties. It contains anti-oxidants and essential Omega-6 fatty acids for healthy skin. It helps to reduce redness and itching. Gentle and non-irritating, with a low comedogenic rating, this oil is incredibly moisturising due to the essential fatty acids it contains.
Allantoin
Allantoin is an active moisturising ingredient extracted from the root of the Comfrey plant. It is non-irritating and soothing, helping to protect and soften the skin making it especially useful for sensitive skin. Allantoin is especially beneficial for the unique ways in which it promotes skin moisturisation. It helps remove dead skin cells to smooth skin and which increases the skin’s hydration by allowing the lower layers of skin to deeply absorb moisture. It helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and itchy and flaky skin.
