How it works
Vitamin C is one of the most science-backed ingredients in skincare, known for its ability to visibly brighten, protect, and support healthy-looking skin. For true efficacy, however, it must be delivered at a high enough concentration to drive results - without compromising skin comfort. Vita C Serum features a potent 30% concentration of THD ascorbate, a vitamin C counterpart that’s stable, lipid-soluble and converts to ascorbic acid within the skin. Because it’s readily accepted by the skin’s lipid barrier, it absorbs seamlessly with minimal risk of irritation. Nourishing murumuru and cupuaçu seed butters—naturally rich in vitamins A and C—provide deep hydration, while vegan squalane, a skin-identical lipid, helps guide these active ingredients precisely where they’re needed for optimal performance.
