Introducing the Vitamin C within the Active Infusion Oil - Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THDA)

Vitamin C and its derivatives are some of the strongest antioxidant candidates in skincare for fading hyperpigmentation, brightening, repairing photo-damage, and helping to restore a certain bounce to the skin.£ THDA is a very stable, fat-soluble ester of Vitamin C, making it ideal for enhanced penetration into the hydrophobic epidermis and into the dermis - something that L-ascorbic acid (the pure, original form of Vitamin C) is challenged at. By itself, this ingredient has the following benefits:£

- doubles the production of collagen synthesis in comparison to L-ascorbic acid£

- providing a photoprotective effect - helping preventing damage caused by UV light

- enhancing the dermal reservoir of this essential antioxidant within the skin£

The Vitamin C + A challenge:

THDA was chosen for the Active Infusion Oil because of its ability to play well with other ingredients; in particular its potent synergy with HPR and Vitamin E. Traditionally, retinoid and LAA Vitamin C are challenging to combine within the same formula, or sometimes even within a skincare routine, due to the contrasting pH levels needed for each ingredients' stability and LAA percutaneous absorption issues. Additionally, there is potential for serious skin irritation from both ingredients depending on the form, concentrations and the order in which they are used. But this is where this Vitamin C ester provides a major advantage: unlike most water-soluble Vitamin C derivatives who need an acidic pH (3.5 or lower) within a formula, oil-soluble THDA is effective at pH levels of 5.5-6.5, the same range that HPR requires. At a skin-friendly, more neutral pH range of 5.5 this duo is highly unlikely to create irritation and both ingredients can work side-by-side to address fine lines, dark spots, blemishes, with an overall 'renewing' effect.£

• TETRAHEXYLDECYL ASCORBATE (Vitamin C ester) - Mitigates the effects of UV damage, helps brighten and reduce hyperpigmentation.
• HYDROXYPINACOLONE RETINOATE (Retinoid) - Increases cell turnover, helps lighten dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Helps improve photoaged skin, reduces fine lines, and slows skin decline.
• CHAGA MUSHROOM - Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory. Supports skin structure, calms and soothes skin, helps brighten and reduce hyperpigmentation.
• GREEN TEA - Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory. Neutralise damaged cells to support skin elasticity and structure, calms and supports skin function.
