Every person has their unique skin goal but at the core of all skincare routines is to maintain adequate hydration. Our skin needs extra hydration in dry and cold weather.
There are many popular ingredients like hyaluronic acid, Saccharide Isomerate, and Glycerin available but there are many found in nature that can help us achieve that bouncy, hydrated skin. Cactus is such ingredient that comes from barren land, and deserts, where a fixed amount of rainfall occurs. Cactus can survive these types of harsh & heat conditions; they naturally retain much of their water collected either from ground or rainwater to survive. The jelly-like material inside a cactus contains a concentration of moisture and high levels of antioxidants that help the plant survive in extreme conditions. Cactus have a hard cells outside work as a shield. If the plants don’t have this shield then any water or antioxidants that a cactus would pull from either the ground or the small amount of rainwater would otherwise evaporate, leaving the plant dehydrated and unable to withstand the dryness of the desert.
This ingredient does work well with our skin. Cactus are rich in essential fatty acids, which help maintain the skin’s lipid barrier and lock in moisture and antioxidants to protect the skin from the oxidative effects of free- radicals damage.
We have this innovative and super-hydrating ingredient called AquaCacteen™ used in GoodSkn, 4D Hydro Moisturizer.
AquaCacteen™ – A good source for Skin Soothing and Hydration. It acts as Soothing: by blocking the release of stress markers from sensory nerve cells in the skin. • Hydrating: due to its high content of water-binding compounds • Protecting from external stress factors: due to its flavonoids, piscidic acid, and polysaccharides.
When creating a 4D Hydro moisturizer formulation, it was important to formulate with the correct concentration to mix well with other high-quality active ingredients in the formula such as 4D Hyaluronic acid Hymagic™ and powerful antioxidant Lipochroman
This product is beneficial for all skin types. This product helps in the skincare routine to hydrate, plump, firm, protect and soothe. It also helps makeup go on easier and smoother with long-lasting power.
AquaCacteen™ has some properties like protecting, hydrating, and soothing which makes this ingredient unique.
