Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) provides our skin’s own natural, internal hydration – it’s abundant in young skin, but we lose more and more of it as we age. HA works together with Collagen and Elastin, all of which are essential for firm, smooth, healthy looking skin.

Peptides

Peptides are amino acids that are proven to improve skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, expression wrinkles, and wrinkle depth. At Transformational Beauty, we use specific Peptides targeted for specific purposes. For example, our Exfoliating Cream Cleanser includes Peptides that are based on organic Amaranth, a gluten-free grain offering a high nutritional value and amino acid profile.

Ceramides

Ceramides make up over 50% of our skin—helping protect it from dehydration, environmental damage and more. Like Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid, as we age and increase our long-term exposure to the sun, our Ceramide quality and quantity grow depleted. High quality Ceramides, like those in our Youth Serum HA, are critical for maintaining our skin’s healthy, youthful glow.

Collagen

Collagen is known for promoting glowing, vibrant skin. It’s an essential protein that provides elasticity, which helps skin appear more healthy and youthful and healthy. As we age, Collagen production declines, which can lead to dryness, fine lines and loose skin.

Argan trees are native to Morocco, and they’re also the source of Argan oil, which is made from the trees’ kernels. Argan oil is rich in Omega Fatty Acids, Vitamin E and Linoleic Acids, all known to moisturize, soften dry patches, and reduce acne. The Vitamin E in Argan Oil is an anti-inflammatory, and Argan Oil has a zero rating on the comedogenicity rating scale (which means it is not likely to clog pores).

Vitamin E

A powerful antioxidant, Vitamin E is known to be effective at reducing UV damage in skin. In skincare, it can help nourish and protect our skin from damage caused by free radicals.

Swertia Extract

Swertia Chirata Extract is extracted from the leaves of an annual herb that is native to India.
