The Research
Optimal skin hydration is crucial to maintain soft, flexible, smooth skin—and to preserve a youthful appearance. Water levels of our skin mainly depend on the health of our skin barrier (stratum corneum, the outermost epidermal layer of the skin), and is influenced by exposure to sunlight, pollution, and stress.
Our epidermis has two different layers of hydration within it. Water present in the deeper layer goes upward to hydrate cells in the stratum corneum, which can be easily evaporated due to the environment and improper cleansing techniques. When your skin is hydrated and the barrier is working well, skin appears more radiant, luminous and healthy-looking.
The Formulation
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice is a powerful plant-based antioxidant that contains enzymes, vitamins and minerals which helps to restore the natural protective barrier of the skin. And, due to its extremely high water content—over 99%—it can replenish water very quickly which is a vital part of maintaining a healthy stratum corneum.
Glycerin is a hydrating active that visibly plumps the skin barrier, pulling water from the air to keep the skin hydrated and minimise water loss. It also helps the skin retain moisture when exposed to environmental aggressors and pollution, allowing skin’s natural lipids to replenish.
The Ritual
Hold the bottle 20-30cm away from the face, and mist five to six spritzes liberally over skin.
