It could be shown that Skinmimics significantly replenishes skin’s own protective barrier. Furthermore, this active is able to revitalize normal to dry skin by improving the skin's epidermal moisturizing system.

OceanDerMX® BALANCE & BRIGHTEN

INCI: Algae extract (New Zealand native red seaweed),, Cyathea medullaris leaf extract (New Zealand native black fern) , Centella asiatica leaf extract (Gotu Kola) , Glycyrrhiza glabra root extract (Licorice root) , Gluconolactone & Calcium gluconate , Potassium sorbate

New Zealand native Red seaweed inhibits the tyrosinase enzyme, decreasing hyperpigmentation. It consists of 8 sugar molecules that mimic the skin's Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) that are able to bind to the skin's receptors, causing the delivery of bioactive ingredients directly to the skin cells and helping to increase the flexibility of the skin.

New Zealand native Fern Meristems add moisture to the skin and helps to tighten the skin immediately. It is also effective as an anti-oxidant and protects the skin from pollution.

Centella asiatica extract helps brighten the skin, reduce irritation, redness and inflammation of the skin. In addition it increases cell production and collagen synthesis, and is a rich source of amino acids. 

Studies show it effectively diminishes blemishes and hyperpigmentation in only 7 days. 

Humectants (hydrators and moisture retainers) 

Hyaluronic Acid

A key molecule involved in skin regulating the water balance of the dermis and stabilizing skin structures. It has a unique capacity in retaining 1000 times its own weight in water. This allows it to replenish the moisture levels in the skin making it look soft and smooth. It also signals the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, boosts elasticity and reduces scarring.

Unimoist U-125 G

INCI: Glycerin, Urea, Saccharide Hydrolysate , Magnesium Aspartate , Glycine , Alanine , Creatine

Comprised of several essential amino acids, urea and magnesium, this complex acts as a moisturizing agent. It is a complete combination of active substances which are very similar to those of the natural moisturizing factor (NMF) naturally present within the skin. It brings about a normalization of the water content of the epidermis, thus producing an improvement in suppleness and elasticity and at the same time preventing premature ageing of the skin.

 Cyathea Medullaris (Mamaku) Leaf Extract

Traditionally used in Māori herbal medicine, Mamaku contains mucopolysaccharides which form a gel when they come into contact with water. This is what helps it to deliver next-level hydration properties.

Lactic acid

A gentle chemical exfoliant in the group known as alpha-hydroxy acids or AHA’s, which work to remove dead skin cells and hydrate the skin. It helps to minimize acne breakouts, brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Glycerin

Glycerin moisturises the skin by drawing water from the air into the skin’s outer layer. It forms a protective layer on the skin that helps prevent the loss of moisture.

Leucidal® Liquid

INCI: Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate

An antimicrobial peptide produced from the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria Leuconostoc Kimichii. It is a moisturizing ingredient and is used as a natural preservative in all Eunoia products as it acidifies its environment and through the production of an antimicrobial peptide that it produces as a defense mechanism. It retains the effectiveness of the formula and allows for the elimination of traditional preservatives that may disrupt the microbiome and cause sensitivity.

A skin moisturization study was performed with results showing the addition of the leucidial provided a 10% increase in moisturization.

 Antioxidants and Anti-inflammatories

Macropiper Excelsum (Kawakawa) Leaf Extract

Native to New Zealand, the Kawakawa tree has medicinal properties that have been used by Māori for centuries to soothe irritated skin. The leaves contain volatile oil and two key components of this, Myristicin and Elemicin have been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory properties making it effective against eczema and acne.

Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Seed Oil

Pomegranate contains high levels of conjugated fatty acids that help retain moisture in the skin by enhancing ceramide production. It has antioxidant properties and fights free radicals, stimulates collagen production, assists in wound healing and treats irritated and acne-prone skin. It is great for improving skin elasticity and keeping the skin firm. It also protects the skin against UV radiation and prevents hyperpigmentation.

Vitamins

Panthenol

The pro-vitamin (biologically active precursor) to Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) that is present in all body cells and has an essential role in cellular metabolism. It functions as a moisturizer and emollient, and is especially useful for calming irritation, relieving itching and healing wounds. It promotes antiaging by increasing fibroblast proliferation increasing collagen and elastin synthesis. In addition it can reduce pigmentation by inhibiting the skin pigment melanin.  

Emollients (skin softeners) 

Coco Caprylate

Is a vegetable ingredient obtained from coconuts that presents a high level of biocompatibility with skin and therefore has the ability to penetrate deep and help the skin to repair itself. It acts as an emollient and provides skin with incredible softness.

Caprylic/Capric Trigylceride

Composed of fatty acids from coconut oil combined with glycerin, it acts as an emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin's surface and helping skin retain moisture. As dehydrated skin is one of the main causes of wrinkles, the hydrating effects of capric triglyceride help to replenish lost moisture and reduce the appearance of fine lines. In addition, it can act as an antioxidant and help rebalance the skin’s microbiome.
