Information

A "breathing", adaptive hydration seal for the skin that helps protect against loss of Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF), and supplements the skin's own moisturizing factors. NMF, largely composed of amino acids and minerals, is the skin's natural barrier against water loss—in effect, protection from loss of NMF itself is the first line of defence against protection from loss of hydration (water). This novel approach stands in sharp contrast to moisturizers that offer oils and lubricants as a method of hiding dehydration instead of respecting the skin's own barrier to water loss. This supplementation of NMF within the skin is shown to be so effective that it can help the skin look up to 20 years younger—purely by increased natural water content.

Fungi Composite Organisms
A novel biotechnology-inspired approach to building "water reservoirs" while supplementing NMF and forming a barrier to prevent its loss, these organisms are shown to reverse the look of firmness loss due to moisture by the equivalent look of up to 20 years of aging—simply by rebuilding water density.

Adaptive Flexo-Silicone Mesh Complex
A most intricate mesh formed by multiple next generation advanced silicones that change form based on pressure and can entrap water both within and under their mesh, sealing natural and supplemental hydration in and environmental factors out. The adaptivity of this complex silicone form allow for extraordinary setting and diffusion of makeup applied subsequently if applicable.

Blue Algae Molecular Film
A "breathable" protective film derived from an Antarctic blue algae that is able to protect from physical water loss. When combined with supplemental water-retention technologies in the formula, the equivalent of near 100% water content loss prevention can be achieved.

Himalayan Composite Flower Leontopodic Acid (through Plant Stem Cell Technology)
A novel innovation increases overall visible density by encouraging the skin to retain more water.

Enzyme-Reacted Glucosamine Amide HA Pre-Cursor (also found in NIOD MMHC)
Highly complex HA-precursor system derived by enzymatic phosphorylation of N-acetyl-glucosamine through a green chemistry process.

Sonic-Jet-Dispersed Burmese Mango Butter
A nano-liquified advanced form of mango butter dispersion that saturates skin tissue with mangiferin and caffeic acid without a greasy occlusive feel associated with mango butter in its pure form—maximizing consistent tissue saturation.

Xylitylglucoside Complex
Humectant molecules from complex sugar chemistry are able to trap free water—both naturally present in the skin and supplemented water offering both an immediate and longer-term natural improvement in hydration preservation with continued use.

Other Technologies: Peat Moss for its hyaline cells acting as a water tank, polypody fern bio-molecules, plant squalane hydrocarbon for immediate hydration density and a potent dose of supplemental NMF amino acids and minerals.

Directions

Apply a small amount all over face in the AM and PM after the application of serums (ideally NIOD CAIS and MMHC) but before the application of any other creams and/or sunscreen formulations. If irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Refer to our in-depth guide to patch testing. Keep out of reach of children.
