BEARBERRY EXTRACT: Has skin-brightening and antioxidant activities, the natural source of Alpha Arbutin. Improves the appearance of age spots and skin discoloration. Bearberry extract also offers UV protection sun filters which can reduce the amount of tanning and prevent premature aging of the skin. The natural Bearberry Extract is actually 5 times more powerful than the synthetic Alpha Arbutin.

Bearberry extract is a natural skin brightener that’ll help us attain a more uniform and brighter complexion.

LICORICE ROOT EXTRACT: Is also a natural skin brightening agent because its extract contains actives called Glabridin and Licochalconelicochalcone, UV-fighting super ingredients. They help your skin produce higher levels of antioxidants, fortifying your skin’s defenses and preventing UV damage in the process. Not to mention, they can protect skin from damage even after unprotected exposure to UV rays. They help diminish any dark spots you have from scarring or sun damage.

Licorice holds the unique power to refine tone without inviting irritation along, unlike the majority of its fellow brightening ingredients.

LIPOSOMAL ENCAPSULATED VITAMIN C: Is Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate in a Liposomal Delivery System (LDS). A brighter skin will reveal in just a few weeks. Also is a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals in the skin.

One of the most stable forms of vitamin C. Vitamin C is especially useful in the appearance of anti-wrinkle and skin brightening, and its performance in these two arenas can be enhanced by coupling with SODIUM LACTATE which is also in the formula. This combination has been shown to dramatically increase brighter radiant skin.

The added benefit is the delivery enhancement that you get with an encapsulation because the phospholipid used to encapsulate the active is a much smaller molecule that can penetrate the top, dead, layer of skin and deliver the active to the tissues where you can gain the benefits of the Vitamin C rather than having them reside in the dead layers until they are eliminated.

Vitamin C Actives are one of the best ingredients that we can use for anti-oxidant products, keeping in mind that Vitamin C is highly oxidative. While there are ways to formulate with Vitamin C, minimizing oxidation to keep it safe for cosmetics use, it is very challenging and failure to effectively stabilize Vitamin C will result in an unstable product that will be unstable and create free radicals. With the Liposome Vitamin C (Liposomal Encapsulated Vitamin C) that I use which is stabilized and the oxidation is no longer an issue. The added benefit is the delivery enhancement that you get with an encapsulation because the phospholipid used to encapsulate the active is a much smaller molecule that can penetrate the top, dead, layer of skin and deliver the active to the tissues where you can gain the benefits of the Vitamin C rather than having them reside in the dead layers until they are eliminated.

DAISY BLOSSOMS EXTRACT (Bellis perennis): Not just one ingredient for brightening, I have added double the natural power. My novel skin-brightening agent derived from daisy blossoms (Bellis perennis) provides an even skin tone appearance against age spots, discoloration disorders, and freckles, as well as general skin-brightening activity.

The powerful active, extracted from Daisy Blossoms, blocks all of the pathways that lead to dark spots and uneven skin, resulting in the elimination of existing dark spots and the prevention of new spots. When tested, in a similar formulation, the active ingredient was shown to be more effective, faster, and longer-lasting, than A Arbutin ... with results achieved in 14 days.

FRUIT ACID COMPLEX: A smooth, brighter complexion with a diminished appearance of unwanted wrinkles. Fruit Mix Complex contains natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs). Capable of improving moisturization. Fruit Mix Complex will work to help brighten skin, shed the dullness, and deliver much-needed therapeutic benefits so you can shine.

28.5% Lactic Acid naturally from Bilberry Fruit
12% Glycolic Acid naturally from Sugar Cane
6% Citric Acid naturally from Lemon & Orange Fruit
1.5% Malic Acid naturally from Sugar Maple
1.5% Tartaric Acid naturally from Sugar Maple

Glycolic acid the smallest molecular structure of the group, has proved effective in cosmetics due to its ability to reach the deeper layers of the skin, thus making it an excellent exfoliating agent that provides immediate skin-softening effects. As new skin cells generate, older cells slough off to reveal smoother-looking skin. Factors such as sun damage, age and environmental stress slow down this process which results in the accumulation of dead skin cells. The use of alpha-hydroxy acids can combat the problem by breaking proteolytic bonds to increase cellular renewal. Moreover, glycolic acid allows the capillaries to dilate and deliver more oxygen and energy to the cells for increased intracellular efficiency.

Lactic acid is an excellent moisturizing ingredient and beneficial for most hyper-proliferate skin conditions. One of the key benefits for using lactic acid is that it will help thicken the skin to create a more youthful aesthetic.
Citric acid is an intermediate in the Krebs cycle and is integral for ATP production, which helps to promote healthy skin by stimulating the formation of fibrous protein. The Krebs cycle, also known as Citric Acid, occurs in the mitochondria of our cells. This cycle is responsible for metabolizing sugar intake thus breaking it into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. In skin biology,

Citric Acid provides cells with a source of usable energy. This, in turn, contributes to the factors that chemically exfoliate the outer layer of the epidermis.

Malic and tartaric acids also influence skin tone and have been shown to increase elasticity, which is an important factor in enhancing complexion clarity.
