A common term in sun safety, ‘Broad Spectrum’ sunscreen refers to products that protect against both UVA and UVB rays.⁠
⁠
UVA rays have longer wavelengths and less energy than UVB rays, penetrating the dermis (the middle layer of the skin). These rays make up about 95% of the UV radiation reaching the Earth and are associated with the development of certain skin cancers.⁠
⁠
UVB rays, with slightly more energy, have a shorter wavelength and affect the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. UVB exposure is linked to sunburns and plays a significant role in the development of skin cancers, particularly a dangerous form of skin cancer called malignant melanoma.⁠

A true skin health non-negotiable, PLEASE remember your SPF

For healthy skin that’s dewy, smooth, and irresistibly radiant, it’s all about the right combo: an O Hydrator for high-performance hydration and Youth Activating Oil-Balm to seal in the glow. ⁠

Youth Activating Oil-Balm bathes skin in lipids that lock in moisture by increasing the richness of O’s much-loved hydrators. Add Immortal Cream for age prevention, super hydration, and radiance, Comfort Cream for luxe hydration for dehydrated, compromised, and aging skin, Recovery Cream to assist healing and inflammation while defying aging or Rebalancing Cream for oily, problematic skins showing signs of breakout/imbalance.

In the world of cosmetic chemistry and advanced skincare formulations there are varying forms of each Vitamin. Savvy formulators intentionally choose them to give you a buffet of options based entirely on your skin needs in each stage. We do this because our skincare works: it’s not a Band-Aid for your concerns; it’s a corrective solution and with this comes the need to intuitively listen to your skin’s needs.⁠
⁠
Every skin needs Vitamins A, B and C so there isn’t one form of each that is ‘better’ than another, they’re all simply used for different levels of skin health within formulations that complement their mechanism of action. ⁠
⁠
All forms are antioxidants, collagen stimulators and pigment blockers but which form of Vitamin C is your skin telling you it needs right now?⁠
⁠
L-Ascorbic Acid: ⁠
• Purest form of Vitamin C, can be very unstable in formulations hence our powder form (only activated when mixed with a serum)⁠
• Water-soluble and chirally correct meaning it absorbs through water and is as pure and potent as possible ⁠
• Not suitable for dry, sensitive, inflamed and delicate skins⁠
• Most suitable for thicker, more texturised and pigmented skins that suffer with sun damage and uneven skin tone ⁠
⁠
Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate: ⁠
• Highly stable ester of Ascorbic Acid⁠
• Oil soluble meaning it can pe*****te through the skin’s lipid layers for deep intracellular absorption ⁠
• Most suitable for dry, sensitive, inflamed, delicate and acne-prone skins⁠
⁠
Whether it’s Pure C + BHA Powder or Vitamin C H**p Seed Oil, so long as you’ve got some Vitamin C in your skincare regime daily then we’re happy. Choose the right form for you and your skin will be too!

Your skin deserves a routine as unique as you!
