OVERVIEW

The very light Hydrating Serum provides intensive moisture and helps the skin to store it. Thus, the serum increases the elasticity of the skin and makes it softer, smoother and more resistant.

The contained low and high molecular hyaluronic acid and glycerin provide intensive moisturizing. The serum leaves the skin feeling noticeably pleasant, fresh and light after application.

The ingredients Pentylene Glycol and Glycerin have very moisturizing and retaining properties. The combination of active ingredients of the Hydrating Serum supports the skin barrier and provides antimicrobial properties at the same time.

This moisturizing serum is so lightly formulated that it absorbs very quickly without rolling off. This perfectly prepares the skin for subsequent care, e.g. an oil serum, moisturizer or sunscreen. The serum can also be used very well in combination with other products and active ingredients as a supplement to a care routine.

Skin types

Hydrating Serum is a mild water-based moisturizer and is suitable for all skin types.

Application

The serum is placed in the palm of the hand and should not be sprayed directly onto the face. The gel-like texture is applied to the face, neck, décolleté with the hands and gently massaged in.

The Hydrating Serum as moisturizing basic care

To take full advantage of the serum's hydrating properties, apply daily in the morning and evening directly after cleansing to the face, neck and décolleté. Simply place a small amount in the palm of the hand, rub and massage directly into the skin.

Oder als Treatment

If the skin feels very dry or tight, the serum applied a little richer is a soothing and cooling relief. Allow to absorb completely and then continue to nourish with an oil, balm or cream.

Mix your individual emulsion

The moisturizing serum combines with the day and night oil in seconds to form a spontaneous emulsion. Emulsions can be handy in some skincare routines because, depending on the consistency, they absorb faster and leave a different finish. With the Hydrating Serum in combination with the Night or Day Oil, you can decide how light or how rich you want your fluid, lotion or cream to be. Mix a fresh emulsion according to your individual needs, without emulsifiers, additional preservatives, gelling agents or stabilizers.

A small, arbitrary amount of the serum is mixed with a few drops of oil, in the palm of the hand with quick and circular fingers, to form an emulsion and then gently massaged in. Prior to this, the skin can be prepped with the hydrating and balancing Balancing Toner. The Hydrating Serum itself can also provide an extra moisture booster before applying the emulsion.

Transepidermal water loss

In addition to a water-based serum, it is important to add lipids to the skin. Depending on the type of oil and the respective composition of different lipids, you can reduce the transepidermal water loss of the skin and thus promote the retention of moisture in the skin.

After the Hydrating Serum, any further care is better absorbed, as a moisturized skin is much more permeable to thicker care products, such as an oil serum or a balm. The skin's natural barrier layer absolutely needs moisture and lipids to function. Miraculously, it is possible to rebalance a disturbed skin barrier with a coordinated skin care.

LIPID GLORY contains intensively caring, protecting and regenerating lipids that are rich in nutrients and antioxidants, e.g. in the intensive balm or in the night oil. All plant oils used are cold-pressed and come from controlled organic cultivation.

INGREDIENTS & PROPERTIES

What moisturizing ingredients and preservatives are in Hydrating Serum?

Ingredients: Aqua, Glycerin*, Pentylene Glycol**, Glyceryl Caprylate***, Sodium Hyaluronate****, Potassium Sorbate.

*vegan & GMO-frei, **Ecocert & Cosmos, ***Ecocert & vegan, ****Ecocert (hoch- und niedermolekulare Hyaluronsäure)

HYALURONIC ACID low molecular weight

Molecule size of 50 kD (kilo Dalton). Absorbs deeply into the skin and provides hydration of the connective tissue. The low-molecular hyaluronic acid stores water in the skin sustainably. Wrinkles are reduced and skin texture smoothed. Overall, it helps to achieve more elasticity and resilience.

HYALURONIC ACID high molecular weight

Molecule size of 1500 kD (kilo Dalton). Can not penetrate the skin barrier so deeply, but acts quickly visually plumping and promotes elasticity. This form of hyaluronic acid has anti-inflammatory, nourishing and cooling properties.

As an ingredient, also called INCI, both forms of hyaluronic acid are declared as 'Sodium Hyaluronate'.

The Hydrating Serum contains 0.3 % low-molecular hyaluronic acid and 0.3 % high-molecular hyaluronic acid. This active ingredient concentration is perfectly suitable for daily use and is sufficiently effective. A too high concentration may have counterproductive effects as hyaluronic acid is able to bind many times the amount of water and attracts moisture at any cost. If there is too much hyaluronic acid in a skin care product there is a risk that the hyaluronic acid molecules help themselves to the water reservoirs in the skin and not to the water already contained in the product or available in the ambient air.

AQUA

Carrier and key ingredient for a moisturizing serum.

GLYCERIN

Glycerin is an intensively hydrating active ingredient and binds a multiple of water to itself. It is a skin-own component of the acid mantle and very well tolerated. Glycerin acts as a penetration promoter and thus helps to transport moisture into the skin. Depending on the dosage, glycerin provides intensive moisture without leaving a sticky feeling on the skin. Glycerin soothes irritations, strengthens the skin barrier and protects against external environmental influences.

PENTYLENE GLYCOL

Pentylene glycol is an ingredient with multifunctional properties. In the product and on the skin, it prevents the development and growth of microbial organisms, such as germs, bacteria and yeasts. It acts as a preservative and at the same time can increase the effectiveness of other active ingredients. As a polyhydric alcohol, Pentylene Glycol can bind water to itself, thus ensuring the transport of moisture into the skin and providing intense hydration. It is not a classic alcohol molecule but a bivalent alcohol, also called diol. Even with a high dosage of this active ingredient, the skin does not dry out, but is reliably supplied with sufficient moisture.

GLYCERYL CAPRYLATE

Glyceryl Caprylate has a refatting, moisture-regulating and antimicrobial spectrum of action. Furthermore, Glyceryl Caprylate is very skin-friendly. It moisturizes and makes the skin smooth and supple.

The intense antimicrobial action can help and support in a skincare routine for acne.

POTASSIUM SORBATE

Potassium sorbate, also known as potassium sorbate, is considered a harmless and very skin-friendly preservative in the field of cosmetics and foodstuffs. It is effective against the colonisation of yeast and mould fungi and is broken down into water and carbon dioxide during metabolism in the organism.

The ingredients in Hydrating Serum are considered to be very tolerable for the skin overall. However, before using the product, one should consider the following points:

• A patch test on a small area of skin on the forearm can show if there is a possible reaction with irritation before using it on the face.
• If the skin does not react with redness, pustules, swellings or other irritations after a few hours, the serum can also be used on other skin areas.

BENEFITS

The Hydrating Serum is a light, hydrating, water-based care with a preservation system consisting of multifunctional active ingredients that have an antimicrobial effect in the product and on the skin, provide intensive moisture and strengthen the skin's protective barrier. The serum brings many beneficial properties to any skin care routine.

The general benefits of the Hydrating Serum at a glance:

• Give yourself a booster for an extra dose of moisture with two or three squirts of the serum before using other thicker products, like an oil or moisturizer.
• Quickly mix an emulsion and decide for yourself how much moisture and oil you want to combine. Go for a light fluid or a protective, richer lotion. Be sensitive to the changing needs of your daily skincare routine.
• Due to the mild and very compatible formulation, the Hydrating Serum can also be used as eye care. It provides intensive moisture to the delicate skin around the eyes and is non-irritating. The skin is protected and nourished and is more elastic due to an adequate supply of moisture. Fine lines and wrinkles can be softened or inhibited in their development.
• For dehydrated, dry and flaky skin, the Hydrating Serum can quickly provide a more beautiful and fresher complexion. The skin's moisture stores are replenished, figuratively speaking, and any mild inflammatory processes are alleviated. The skin-friendly active ingredients used have highly effective antimicrobial properties and strengthen and protect the skin's protective barrier. Sallow skin regains its radiance.
• The Hydrating Serum is oil-free and has a comedogenicity level of 0. It is very well tolerated by oily and blemished skin that is prone to acne. Pimples can be prevented in your formation and existing impurities subside faster.
• The serum has a pleasant slightly gel-like, clear texture and leaves the skin feeling very soft and carefree. It is completely absorbed, does not roll off and is in no way sticky.

TIPS

Possible applications in the daily care routine

The LIPID GLORY moisturising serum offers further application possibilities as intensive care in the daily care routine.

The Hydrating Serum as a moisture booster

The absorption of oils, balms and moisturizers is supported and facilitated if the skin is previously supplied with moisturizers. The Hydrating Serum prepares the skin perfectly. A well moisturized skin is more permeable for subsequent active ingredients and allows further products to penetrate the skin much faster.

Further care routines with the Hydrating Serum

The Hydrating Serum can be integrated into the morning routine as a daily step. Since it is absorbed very quickly, subsequent products can be applied directly. Oils are absorbed faster, sunscreen does not roll off and foundation can be applied very well on the hydrated skin.

Also in the evening routine, the serum can bring its effect to use. Through a subsequent, moisturizing product, the moisture and the skin protective barrier protecting active ingredients are kept in the skin. It is maintained and kept supple and can recover for the next day.

For flaky and itchy scalp, some moisturizing serum can be massaged into the scalp. The antimicrobial and moisturizing ingredients can have a regulating effect there, relieve itching and prevent the smallest inflammations or eczema on the scalp. The serum is completely absorbed into the scalp and leaves no stringy hair.

As an SOS helper for acutely very dry hair, the Hydrating Serum can also temporarily restore suppleness and shine to flyaway hair, dry ends and dull lengths. For this purpose, the necessary amount of serum is gradually distributed in the palms of the hands and applied as evenly as possible to the hair.
