Glycerin – derived from vegetable sources and is a natural component of healthy skin.
What does it do?
Glycerin is hygroscopic or humectant, which means that it retains or preserves moisture. Research has shown that glycerin mimics what’s known as skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF), which is why it’s compatible with all skin types, of all ages. Replenishing skin’s NMF is important because it becomes depleted as we age and are subject to environmental exposure.
Glycerin has many benefits for the skin; such as, helping to shield skin from environmental sources of irritation, improving skin’s resiliency and youthful look, enhancing the penetration of other ingredients into skin’s uppermost layers, and fortifying and strengthening skin’s precious moisture barrier.

Acetyl Sh-Heptapeptide-1 – (PerfectionPeptide P7) – A biologically active heptapeptide that stimulates the skin’s own self-defense mechanisms against oxidative stress. Oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between the systemic manifestation of reactive oxygen species and a biological system's ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or to repair the resulting damage. This heptapeptide activates the cellular switch of the self-protection system.
What does it do?
PerfectionPeptide P7 has been shown to significantly reduce DNA damage in skin cells, the UV-induced formation of sunburn cells, and the depletion of Langerhans cells.
