Apply one or two pumps of the cream after cleansing - or ideally, after applying Serum Symphonique - and massage it gently and evenly into your skin with your fingertips until the cream is fully absorbed.

Aqua (Water)
Squalane
is an oil naturally occurring in human skin and is an important part of the lipid system. Its penetration capacity is remarkably high. Nanometer droplets of squalane function as effective “transporters” for the A Vitamins and other oil soluble active ingredients. Young and healthy skin contains a high amount of squalane but the level will decrease dramatically with age. Therefore squalane is absorbed excellently into sun damaged and aged skin. A lack of squalane within the skin can lead to premature aging, very dry skin and a loss of elasticity. Areas of constantly exposed, dry and prematurely aged skin such as on the hands, elbows, heals and knees etc become incredibly soft immediately when squalane is applied in the right formulation.

Glycerin
Glyceryl Stearate
Niacinamide
works especially in the extracellular space (the ’mortar’ that keeps the cells together). It prolongs the biological processes that control both the cohesion between the cells and the processes maintaining the functions of the dehydrating cells as long as possible, until they are shed from the surface.

Hydrolyzed Corn Starch
Beta Vulgaris (Beet) Root Extract
is extract from sugar beets. Enhances the natural moisture-binders in the skin and provides extra moisture – both immediately and long term.

Lauryl PCA
Sodium PCA
works as very efficient humectants with ability to increase the level of moisture in the skin and maintain the moisture for many hours.

Dimethicone
Bakuchiol
A natural antioxidant and anti-aging ingredient found in the seeds and leaves of the plant Psoralea Corylifolia, also known as Babchi. Bakuchiol have been shown to have skin structural-restoring ability when applied topically, and a brightening effect on skin – effects that are very similar to the Vitamin A derivatives. This plant ingredient has shown anti-wrinkle properties, improved elasticity, and a smoother skin surface with visibly improved un-blemished and uneven skin color.

Bis(Cyano Butylacetate) Anthracenediylidene
is a powerful anti-aging antioxidant proven to block sun exposed aging before it even begins. Compared to other antioxidants it works more proactively and effectively – safely preventing the formation of the sun induced damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals. The skin becomes more resistant against UV-radiation and less prone to the sun induced signs of premature aging such as loss of skin elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles.

Retinol
is a particularly potent form of Vitamin A here encapsulated in microcapsules with a nanostructured wall specially designed to create an ultra-efficient barrier protecting the hyper-active retinol from oxidation and degradation even before application and while staying on the skin’s surface. The capsulation degrades slowly and provides a delayed release of the Retinol so the normally prohibitive irritation and redness is eliminated. Starting already at application to the skin, some of the capsules break, releasing Retinol, while the remaining intact capsules reside in the skin wrinkles, where they break eventually during the night and so provide a long-lasting repair effect after application.

Anigozanthos Flavidus (Kangaroo Paw) Extract
is an organic flower extract that acts as an anti-aging and anti-wrinkle agent. It increases the production of the dermal architectural protein (Tenascins-X) and increases dermal protein synthesis of Collagen & Elastin. It firms the skin via increased fibroblast contractile forces and cell turnover.

It rebuilds the skin’s internal architecture and decreases the appearance of both wrinkles and sagging skin.

Sodium Ursolate and Sodium Oleanolate
are two very powerful ingredients with a unique capacity to repair aged and sun damaged skin. The most remarkable scientific findings are the recreated collagen fibre structures at the same level as found in young skin. This rejuvenates completely the treated skin, including a striking recreation of the surface of the skin’s micro-topography.

Crocus Sativus (Saffron) Flower Extract
also known as the wonderful yellow spice saffron- has since ancient times been used also for cosmetic purposes. It has anti-aging effects, repairs sun damage, and has soothing properties. Its main active ingredient is crocin-I (α-crocin) (crocetin + glucoside) which has both anti-inflammatory and antioxidation effects.

C10-30 Cholesterol/Lanosterol Esters
Hydrolyzed Collagen
is an ingredient that builds an invisible shield of moisture binding barrier on the surface of the skin, to enable the skin to maintain its elevated level of moisture within the epidermis.

Sodium Hyaluronate
is a modified type of Sodium Hyalouronate that penetrates significantly deeper due to its disintegrated molecular version. It is an ingredient that binds water in epidermis, to enable the skin to maintain an elevated level of moisture throughout the layers of epidermis.

Tocopheryl Acetate
is a type of Vitamin E that plays an important role by protecting both the skin and the products against harmful free radicals.

Tocopherol
is another source of Vitamin E that plays an important role by protecting both the skin and the products against harmful free radicals and functions as a natural moisturizer and capable of reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
