NEW Butterfly Pea Flower Calming Peptide Dew
Butterfly Pea Flowers are gorgeous! They are also exceptional to add to our diets as well as topical skincare formulations. Why, might you ask? First, have you read about or know all about 'glycation'? Glycation is a chemical reaction typically caused by the excess sugar we ingest, pollution, UV radiation, and oxidative stress. These damaging sugar molecules attach themselves to important skin healthy cells such as elastin and collagen which in turn causes aging, loss of elasticity and so much more!
Butterfly Pea Flowers are highly praised for their content of proanthocyanidins which stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin. They also protect our skin from pollution while offering soothing properties to help calm the effects of Rosacea and reduce the redness many people experience.

Butterfly Pea Flower Infusion extreme fighter against pollution, sun damage.
Thermostressine (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-22) is a tetrapeptide proven in vitro to increase cell tolerance against daily stress situations, protecting skin cells exposed to heat, cold, UVB radiation, and dehydration.
Thermostressine increases Heat Shock Protein (HSP70) levels in the skin, thus providing a protective shield. This protein increases stress tolerance and prevents damage from further stressful exposure. Thermostressine also increases the skin's tolerance to jet lag and other daily lifestyle stresses. The proteotoxic stress is well controlled and damage preventative.
Collagen Peptide when our 20’s and 30’s sneak up on us (yes, sneak) we start to lose about 1% collagen per year. This essential protein is so important to skin health. Collagen Peptides are unlike simple collagen in that the protein size is smaller and can penetrate the skin's top layers. Adding Collagen Peptides back to our skin can help to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and it can help to firm skin, and moisture loss as well.
Cosmocil CQ™ (polyaminopropyl biguanide) is a broad-spectrum, fast-acting bactericide. Cosmocil CQ™ is an effective preservative that offers exceptional antibacterial and deodorant properties (not that you sweat into your products). 😊
Sclerotium Gum is a polysaccharide gum produced by the bacterium Sclerotium rolfssii. We use this thickener/stabilizer for its velvety smooth texture.
Allantoin relieves dry, itchy, irritated skin, believed to heal the skin by promoting new tissue growth.
Hyaluronic Acid is a polysaccharide molecule that offers a viscous matrix to the surroundings and protects cells and their connective tissue. Our eyes have abundant naturally derived hyaluronic acid in our eyeballs. It explains a lot. It is produced throughout our bodies.
