Astaxanthin

An extract from the yuzu citrus fruit, popular in J-beauty. Rich in vitamin C, hesperidin, and limonene.

A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage. Works synergistically with Vitamin C for enhanced photoprotection.

A stimulant compound commonly used in eye creams and body products for its ability to constrict blood vessels, reduce puffiness, and provide antioxidant protection.

Copper peptides, most commonly represented by the tripeptide-copper complex GHK-Cu, are small protein fragments bound to copper ions that occur naturally in human plasma, saliva, and urine. GHK-Cu plays a fundamental role in tissue remodeling by stimulating the synthesis of collagen, elastin, glycosaminoglycans, and other components of the extracellular matrix. In dermatology, copper peptides have attracted significant attention for their dual capacity to promote wound healing while simultaneously reducing the appearance of aging skin. The copper ion serves as a cofactor for lysyl oxidase, the enzyme responsible for cross-linking collagen and elastin fibers, while the GHK peptide sequence itself modulates gene expression related to tissue repair and anti-inflammatory pathways.

A plant-based antioxidant found in cell walls of plants like rice, wheat, and oats. Dramatically enhances the stability and efficacy of Vitamins C and E.
