Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
What Is Hyaluronic Acid?
It’s a substance your body makes naturally to keep your skin, joints, and eyes moist. But as you get older, your body makes less of it, so your skin can become drier and lose its smoothness.
How Does It Work in Skin Care?
- Attracts Water: When you apply HA to your skin, it acts like a magnet for moisture, pulling water from the air or deeper layers of your skin to the surface. This keeps your skin hydrated, plump, and soft.
- Holds Water: HA can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water! It’s like a sponge that helps your skin stay moisturized throughout the day.
Why Use It?
- Hydration: It keeps your skin hydrated, which is super important for healthy skin.
- Smooth Skin: When your skin is properly hydrated, it looks smoother, and fine lines or rough patches become less noticeable.
- Lightweight: Even though HA is really good at moisturizing, it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy, making it great for all skin types—even oily or sensitive skin.
What Does It Improve?
- Dry Skin: If your skin feels dry or tight, HA can help bring back moisture.
- Fine Lines: It temporarily fills in fine lines and wrinkles, making them look less noticeable by keeping your skin plump.
We have included two types of HA in the formula:
High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (HMW-HA):
- Penetration: Stays on the surface of the epidermis
- Function: Provides hydration to the skin’s surface, creating a moisture barrier
Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (LMW-HA):
- Penetration: Reaches the upper dermis.
- Function: Provides hydration deeper into the skin, improving elasticity and reducing fine lines
In short, hyaluronic acid is like a secret ingredient in skin care that helps keep your skin hydrated and smooth, making it look fresh and healthy! It’s easy to use, works on all skin types, and is super popular for a reason.

Other key ingredients that are not new or increased:
Green Rooibos extract
- Contains a significant amount more antioxidants than fermented Rooibos.

- Green Rooibos is also known to have anti-viral, anti-fungal, and antibacterial properties, making it perfect for those with acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other difficult skin conditions.
Pre and Probiotics
- "Beauty bugs" (good bacteria) have been shown to act as a natural protective shield against "bad bugs".
- When the microbiome is not balanced, the immune system can release various antimicrobial peptides and bring harmony back to the skin.
- Probiotics act as a protective shield, strengthening the skin's ability to repair itself.
- They help to optimize the skin's functionality to help support collagen and elastin, reduce inflammation, help prevent aging, reduce breakouts and balance skin.
- Probiotics work best when combined with prebiotics – to fuel the growth of probiotics.
- The Lucid range includes a prebiotic (oligosaccharide).
- Prebiotics serve as food for probiotics, helping them multiply.
Macadamia nut oil
- Macadamia Nut Oil should be the most praised beautifying oil of all.
- It has a wonderful affinity with the skin, both topically and internally.
- Its chemical profile is very similar to that of human sebum (oil).
- It is the perfect choice for mature or dry skin.
- Great for skin that has difficulty retaining moisture.
Olive oil
- Olive oil is chock-full of monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants, so it has excellent moisturising properties.
Allantoin
- Allantoin helps to hydrate the skin, reduce itchiness and improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin.
- Allantoin's soothing properties are especially beneficial for dry skin.
- This ingredient is safe to use on all skin types, including sensitive skin.
