Vitamin C Booster - Add On

Complexion-balancing Vitamin C Booster with 15% Vitamin C

As an add-on to the Love it Pure Basic Care routine

The Radiant Glow & Even Skin Tone Vitamin C Booster is the high-concentration add-on to your Love it Pure Basic Care when your skin needs an even complexion, radiance, and increased firmness. The fragrance-free active ingredient formula with 15% Vitamin C, alpha-arbutin, and ferulic acid specifically targets hyperpigmentation, UV-induced dark spots, and post-inflammatory discoloration. At the same time, the booster supports collagen synthesis for a smoother, firmer-looking complexion and instantly gives dull skin new radiance. The powerful antioxidant combination of Vitamin C and astaxanthin provides intensive protection against oxidative stress, one of the main drivers of premature skin aging.

The result: a more even skin tone, immediate radiance, and a firmer skin structure through support of collagen synthesis.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate - 15% Vitamin C Derivative
Vitamin C is one of the most thoroughly researched skincare ingredients, with its positive effects demonstrated in numerous studies. Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate is a promising derivative of vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid. This lipid derivative offers impressive benefits and promising effects in skincare. The high concentration of 15% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate enables effective skincare to reduce dark spots and actively prevent pigment shifts. This concentration, combined with the choice of a stable vitamin C derivative, provides a balanced blend of efficacy and tolerability, allowing even sensitive skin conditions to benefit from the advantages of this active ingredient. Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate proves to be significantly more effective and better tolerated than conventional ascorbic acid. This is due to its higher stability, lipid solubility, and lower potential for irritation. Its more stable nature allows for longer efficacy and better preservation of its antioxidant properties. Due to its lipid solubility, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate penetrates the skin barrier more efficiently and reaches deeper skin layers. Furthermore, it is better tolerated by sensitive skin types as it causes less irritation. Studies confirm that it protects the skin from UV damage and environmental stressors by neutralizing free radicals as an antioxidant. Additionally, it has been proven effective in reducing hyperpigmentation and evening out skin tone. It also promotes collagen production, leading to firmer skin and improved elasticity. Alpha-Arbutin:

Alpha-Arbutin

is a skin-brightening active ingredient used in cosmetic products to improve skin texture and achieve a more even complexion. Alpha-Arbutin is a derivative of hydroquinone and a molecule found in various plants of the Ericaceae family. For instance, it can be found in the leaves of bearberry, blueberry, heather, and cranberry. As a skincare ingredient, alpha-arbutin is used in products for skin brightening and the reduction of dark spots. Unlike hydroquinone, arbutin possesses the same depigmenting properties but is better tolerated. Alpha-arbutin works by inhibiting melanin synthesis in the skin. This occurs through the blockade of tyrosinase activity, a key enzyme in the melanin formation process. By inhibiting melanin production, the development of dark spots on the skin is prevented. Through the inhibition of melanin synthesis, existing dark spots can fade, and the formation of new spots is prevented. Alpha-arbutin is therefore particularly effective in treating acne marks and other unwanted skin blemishes, promoting a healthy and even complexion by brightening the skin and softening spots. Regular use can help maintain an even skin tone. Alpha-arbutin is a gentle ingredient suitable for all skin types. It gives the skin a soft feel without causing irritation or side effects.

Ferulic Acid
Ferulic acid, also known as 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid, is a natural skincare ingredient found in various plants such as rice, dill, and wheat. The combination of ferulic acid and vitamin C in skincare shows promising results in fighting hyperpigmentation and dark spots, as they act synergistically to brighten the skin and reduce discoloration. Furthermore, the combination of ferulic acid with vitamin C increases effectiveness in combating wrinkles and other visible signs of skin aging. It also enhances the stability of vitamin C. Ferulic acid acts as a powerful natural antioxidant by neutralizing free radicals that can cause premature skin aging and skin damage. As a result, it protects the skin from harmful influences and slows down the aging process. This makes it particularly valuable for skin health. The use of ferulic acid in skincare is especially suitable for sensitive and delicate skin types, as it exhibits antimicrobial properties that inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. This contributes to soothing the skin and providing anti-inflammatory relief for skin irritation. In summary, ferulic acid is a promising skincare ingredient that positively influences the health and appearance of the skin thanks to its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Additionally, it contributes to the repair of UV-induced skin damage while increasing the elasticity and firmness of the skin.

Prunus Domestica Seed Oil - Plum Kernel Oil
Plum kernel oil is a valuable natural product that is increasingly gaining recognition as an effective skincare agent. This precious oil is extracted from the kernels of plums and is characterized by its rich composition of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins. Plum kernel oil contains vitamins A and K, which promote skin regeneration. It can help reduce scars, sun damage, and age spots. It is also rich in unsaturated fatty acids. This helps to soothe dry and rough skin, make it smoother, and reduce fine lines caused by dryness. The vitamin E and other antioxidants contained within protect the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals. This can contribute to slowing down the aging process of the skin and reducing wrinkles. The anti-inflammatory properties of the oil make it ideal for sensitive or irritated skin. It can alleviate redness and skin irritation and, compared to heavy, greasy oils, it absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a sticky feeling. Plum kernel oil also gives the product its delicate sweet scent, reminiscent of marzipan.

Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil - Apricot Kernel Oil
Apricot kernel oil is a popular and versatile natural product. It is obtained from the kernels of the apricot and is characterized by its rich nutrients and health-promoting properties. This oil is particularly rich in vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant. Antioxidants protect the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals, which can cause signs of premature aging. Consequently, apricot kernel oil helps to keep the skin young and radiant. Furthermore, apricot kernel oil contains a high concentration of essential fatty acids, particularly omega-6 fatty acids, which strengthen the skin's barrier function. This helps to protect the skin from moisture loss and keep it supple. Apricot kernel oil has a soothing effect on the skin by providing it with essential nutrients, protecting it from environmental influences, and contributing to healthy, radiant skin. Punica

Granatum Seed Oil - Pomegranate Seed Oil
Pomegranate seed oil is a highly valued skincare ingredient that has been used for centuries in cosmetics and traditional medicine. This precious oil is extracted from the seeds of the pomegranate fruit and is rich in nutrients, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, which have a multitude of positive effects on the skin. The effect of pomegranate seed oil on the skin is versatile and impressive. The contained antioxidants, such as vitamin C and polyphenols, protect the skin from harmful free radicals that can cause premature aging. The oil promotes cell renewal and supports collagen production, leading to firmer, smoother skin. Pomegranate seed oil is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It can help in soothing skin irritation, redness, and acne. Additionally, it helps to strengthen the skin barrier, which keeps the skin supple and well-hydrated.

Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract - Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants currently known. It is many times stronger than vitamin C and has a far higher antioxidant capacity than many other well-known antioxidants such as vitamin E or beta-carotene. What makes astaxanthin particularly effective is its unique chemical structure, which allows it to effectively neutralize free radicals in cell membranes and other cellular components. It can act in both fat-soluble and water-soluble parts of the cell, which increases its efficacy compared to other antioxidants. This carotenoid is derived from microalgae and has an amazing effect on skin health. One of the most notable properties of astaxanthin is its ability to protect the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals. These aggressive molecules are significantly involved in premature skin aging and can be triggered by environmental stressors such as UV radiation and pollution. Astaxanthin acts as a powerful defense agent here and helps to protect the skin from damage. Additionally, astaxanthin has an anti-inflammatory effect, which helps to reduce redness and skin irritation. It can also strengthen the skin's natural moisture barrier, leading to smoother and more hydrated skin. Overall, the use of astaxanthin can help to protect the skin, slow down signs of skin aging, and promote a radiant complexion. Furthermore, astaxanthin from the blood rain alga has an intense red coloration, which, among other things, gives the Vitamin C Booster its complexion-optimizing hue.
