Decandiol (Decylene Glycol) is a moisturising ingredient for topical preparations with an additional anti-microbial effect.

Gluco-glycerol (also known as Glyceryl Glucoside) is a nature-identical combination of glycerol and glucose. Used by blue-green algae to ensure their survival for 3.5 billion years, Gluco-glycerol has been proven to stimulate the creation of Aquaporin 3 (AQP3) in human skin cells, thus increasing the number of aquaporins. Aquaporins control water transfer into and out of the cells. The more AQP3’s there are, the better the distribution of moisture within the deeper layers of skin.
By stimulating skin’s own water system, Gluco-glycerol helps to moisture skin and improve its barrier function.

Like Urea, Lactate (the salt of Lactic Acid) is also a “natural moisturising factor” (NMF), and is produced naturally by the skin. Lactate absorbs and retains moisture within the stratum corneum, or upper layer of the skin, and therefore plays a vital role in maintaining the skin’s physical properties. Low levels of Lactate within the stratum corneum are known to be associated with dry skin.

Licochalcone A is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory active ingredient derived from the root of the Chinese Liquorice plant (Glycyrrhiza Inflata).

When applied to irritated skin (such as skin prone to acne, atopic and/or sun-damaged skin) Licochalcone A reduces redness and helps to soothe mild inflammation.

Carnitine (L-carnitine) is an amino-acid-like substance found in the skin which, when applied topically in specific formulas, can help reduce sebum production.
