Epigenetic influences, including sun exposure and pollution, diminish the skin’s native protective reserves of Melanin, Vitamin D and Heat Shock Proteins, which form a first-line defence against UV, Visible Light and Infrared Radiation. The result is dull, dehydrated skin prone to inflammation and premature ageing.

Melanin, a Skin Identical antioxidant, naturally protects epidermal keratinocytes by forming a protective cap over DNA that defends against UV light. When applied topically, Melanin acts as a natural sunscreen booster that enhances protection against the entire Solar Constant. In addition, Vitamin D precursors––which are found in the plasma membranes of skin cells—are stimulated with exposure to sunlight and synthesise active Vitamin D, which has photo-protective effects, decreasing DNA damage and oxidative stress while reducing inflammation. Similarly, Heat Shock Proteins are able to shield skin cells from thermal damage by expanding and unfolding in the presence of heat to protect cells from becoming dry and dehydrated.

Zinc Oxide is a photo-protective antioxidant custodial coating on the skin’s surface, defending against the harmful effects of UV, visible light, Infrared and environmental aggressors. Zinc also assists in calming the skin, reducing redness, strengthening barrier function and enhancing overall skin health.

Melanin is a Skin Identical solar defence pigment and antioxidant that also calms and evens out skin tone. In the epidermis, it acts as a natural sunscreen, absorbing and diffusing solar radiation.

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-22 is a novel protein that protects skin cells from thermal and oxidative stress. It helps to prevent inflammation by increasing natural levels of Heat Shock Proteins in the skin that provide thermal protection from infrared light.

Vitamin D Precursor converts to active Vitamin D within the skin when exposed to sunlight, supplementing the endogenous reserves of this vital nutrient to strengthen skin integrity, soothe redness and reduce inflammation.

3D Ceramic Shield–an amalgam of Skin Identical Sodium, Potassium, Aluminum and Silica that forms insulating ceramic microspheres, which provide a physical shield that protects the skin from pollution and temperature extremes.

Bambara Seed Extract (Voandzeia Subterranea Seed) is an epigenetic booster with the ability to influence genes responsible for redirecting the process of cellular differentiation in the epidermis by increasing the viability of nerve cells. Epidermal thickness is improved, stratum corneum superstructure and function are enhanced, and skin appears smooth and radiant.

Vitamins, Amino Acids and Minerals form a Skin Identical complex of topical nutrients that reinforce the skin’s own photo and environmental protective barrier. Skin luminosity is also enhanced through the light-diffusing properties of Iron Oxides—a naturally occurring mineral found in the skin.

Australian Botanical Species–including Kangaroo Paw, Lilli Pilli, Davidson Plum–are plant-based antioxidants that thrive in extreme environments, rendering them powerful contributors in protecting skin from solar and environmental aggressors. They also have significant anti-inflammatory properties.

As part of the Brilliance Collection, #3 The Enriched Crème should by applied as a daytime hydrator, after your daytime formulations from the #1 Resilience and #2 Vitality Collection. Follow with your SPF50 for daytime protection.

As we age, multiple cellular metabolic processes begin to decline, including stratum corneum hydration and the synthesis of key skin connective tissues such as collagen and elastin. The delicate tissue of the eye zone lacks subcutaneous tissue, rendering this area more susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles, dryness, dark circles and puffiness due to poor microcirculation.

Solar protective Peptides and Amino Acids, which are found naturally in human skin, protect cells from thermal and oxidative stressors, which would ordinarily damage precious proteins such as collagen and elastin. Topical nutrients in the form of proteins and powerful botanical extracts actively thicken the epidermis and hydrate fragile orbital contours, alleviating redness, sensitivity and fine lines. Zinc and Iron Oxide technologies, in synergy with Melanin, provide protection against solar and environmental aggressors to ensure delicate skin is bright and refreshed.

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 is responsible for regulating and redistributing moisture content around the eye zone via ion channels to decrease puffiness and maximise under-eye rejuvenation.

Adansonia Digitata is a physiologic botanical extract that provides temporary skin firming of the delicate eye zone by increasing tensile strength which supports a diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Fraxinus Excelsior is a botanical extract that works to strengthen the vascular network supplying the fragile eye area. It has been shown to reduce the visible appearance of dark circles, counteracting blue and red tones under the eyes and enhancing orbital luminosity.

Zinc Oxide is a photo-protective antioxidant custodial coating on the skin’s surface, defending against the harmful effects of UV, visible light, Infrared and environmental aggressors. Zinc also assists in calming the skin, reducing redness, strengthening barrier function and enhancing overall skin health.

Melanin is a Skin Identical solar defence pigment and antioxidant that also calms and evens out skin tone. In the epidermis, it acts as a natural sunscreen, absorbing and diffusing solar radiation.

Vitamin D Precursor converts to active Vitamin D within the skin when exposed to sunlight, augmenting endogenous reserves of this vital nutrient to fortify skin integrity, soothe redness and reduce inflammation.

Bambara Seed Extract (Voandzeia Subterranea Seed) is an epigenetic booster with the ability to influence genes responsible for redirecting the process of cellular differentiation in the epidermis by increasing the viability of nerve cells. Epidermal thickness is improved, stratum corneum superstructure and function are enhanced, and skin appears smooth and radiant.

Vitamins, Amino Acids and Minerals (Iron Oxides) have light-refracting and diffusing abilities to brighten the eye area, improving luminosity and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Australian Botanical Species–including Kangaroo Paw, Lilli Pilli, Davidson Plum–are plant-based antioxidants that thrive in extreme environments, rendering them powerful contributors in protecting skin from solar and environmental aggressors. They also have significant anti-inflammatory properties.

As part of the Brilliance Collection, #3 The Enriched Eye Crème should by applied as a daytime eyezone hydrator, after your formulations from the #1 Resilience and #2 Vitality Collection have been applied. #3 The Enriched Eye Crème is applied to the eye zone only, followed by your tailored day-time hydrator such as #3 The Enriched Crème and finishing with #3 The Tinted Serum SPF50+ for ultimate daytime protection.
