Our List of Top-tier Ingredients for a Stress-Free Summer Glow

We turn to these rock star summer skincare ingredients when our skin feels the effects of environmental stress. Whether you live in a congested city or by the Cali coastline, or if your skin is feeling the effects of harsh weather, we highly recommend incorporating these sun-saving ingredients that support the appearance of healthy, hydrated, plump-feeling, youthful skin.

Artemisia, AKA Mugwort, provides skin-protective properties

Cica, aka Centella Asiatica, isn't the only leafy green having a moment. Mugwort is taking over Korean skin-care product ingredient lists, too, including that of Allure Korea's Best of Beauty Award-winners!

Artemisia, also known as Mugwort, is a healing herb that’s been used in Korea for centuries for its healing properties.

It’s a staple ingredient in many Korean beauty products. In Korea, Mugwort is regarded as a healing herb for its antibacterial, anti-fungal, and skin-protective properties. Western dermatologists have even likened its benefits for your skin to that of vitamin C.

Incorporate Artemisia into your summer skincare routine to calm and reduce redness, as well as heal acne breakouts caused by sun exposure—a two-for-one dream!

Our BALANCE Moisturizing Toner features this star ingredient, balancing and soothing your skin after sun exposure.

Adenosine is naturally occurring and helps repair sun damage

Adenosine is a water-soluble yeast-derived ingredient that functions as a good soothing and skin-restoring agent. It has proven anti-wrinkle benefits and is a safe, beneficial ingredient all skin types can use to prevent sun damage.

An exceptional function of adenosine is that it’s a naturally occurring component of the body, which means it’s highly effective when applied topically! It aids with healing and inflammation caused by UV rays and also stimulates collagen production, which reinforces the strength of your skin.

To protect the most delicate skin on your face - the eye area - you’ll find adenosine in our REVITALIZE Eye Cream, which brightens the eye area and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

D- Phytogen saves you from wrinkles, especially during long periods of sun exposure

D-Phytogen is a patented fermentation complex of 6 plants into Lactobacillus Ramnosus Vita P1.

This fermentation of natural substances amplifies their benefits to combat the aging of skin cells and prevent hyperpigmentation.

D-Phytogen benefits the skin by supporting its integrity and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, which can often worsen by long exposure to the sun during the summer.

D- Phytogen appears in all 5 products of our ANTI-AGING & BRIGHTENING Collection, targeting aging and sun damage all at once.

Preserve hydration throughout the day with Niacinamide, aka Vitamin B3

Niacinamide -aka vitamin B3-is a multi-tasking ingredient superstar. It’s great for dry skin as it preserves hydration and is highly recommended by many dermatologists. It also helps to rebuild skin cells, strengthening them against UV rays throughout the summer season.

And there’s much more to this nutrient, especially when it comes to general skin health. Although more research is needed, topical niacinamide may help treat certain skin conditions, including acne and eczema which can flare up during summer months.

You’ll find this hydrating, booster ingredient in our RENEW Concentrated Serum and our BRIGHTENING Radiance Mask, which is infused with our proprietary complex of over 76 antioxidants and nutrients to revive your skin (more on them below!)

Pull moisture to the surface during summer with Sodium Hyaluronate

Sodium hyaluronate (SH) is a derivative of Hyaluronic Acid. Like Hyaluronic Acid (HA), sodium hyaluronate is a humectant that can help your skin look youthful and supple. However, SH has a smaller molecular size than HA which means it can penetrate deeper into the epidermis and hydrate at a deeper level. It’s great for skin dehydrated by the sun and the hot summer months, as it attracts moisture to the skin’s surface!

Regularly moisturizing strengthens the skin barrier to minimize the potential for air pollutants to penetrate skin cells and cause oxidative stress. During summer months, your skin faces a much higher risk of oxidative stress due to the intensity and increased likelihood of damage by strong UV rays.

Our ULTRA-RICH Moisture Cream has sodium hyaluronate to seal in moisture and restore radiance - protecting your skin barrier year round.

A complex of 76 vitamins and antioxidants to bind free radicals that damage skin

Aloisia Beauty’s pioneering new complex is packed full of 76 vitamins and antioxidants that deeply support the health of your skin to protect against environmental stresses. Each skincare mixer from our ANTI-AGING & BRIGHTENING Collection is packed full of luxurious essentials that treat your skin to a plethora of skin superfoods.

Antioxidants bind to free radicals before they can wreak havoc on skin cells. Promising research suggests they may battle pollution-linked skin damage and aid in protection against UV-rays. Antioxidants like vitamins B and E help repair the skin as well as prevent free radicals from damaging the skin.A dynamic duo of Probiotics and Bifida Ferment Filtrate to balance out your skin health

Environmental pollution, the sun’s rays, and increased sweating has been shown to affect the skin’s microbiome, the bacteria and microorganisms that naturally live on the skin and contribute to skin health.

Microbiome skin care that contains probiotics can help restore the proper balance of microorganisms on the skin after the damaging months of summer. Our ANTI-AGING & BRIGHTENING Collection features the Korean skincare innovation of fermented probiotic actives, that produce more potent antioxidants and actives for when your skin needs an extra boost for balance and protection.

Bifida ferment filtrate is is derived from the fermentation of Bifida, a high-end probiotic. In fact, this specific probiotic is used in some of the world's most iconic and luxurious serums for anti-aging. Through the process of fermentation, the F Bifida filtrate is supercharged to provide two major benefits: protects against UV-induced skin damage and fight against signs of aging.

The ULTRA-RICH Moisture Cream is packed full of Bifida ferment filtrate, helping to repair and protect the skin all year round. It preserves hydration, locking it in when you need it the most for plum and youthful effect.

Our ANTI-AGING & BRIGHTENING Collection has been designed to simplify the quest for youthful, glowing skin. These transformative products individually or co-actively to visibly strengthen, smooth, plump, and brighten skin.
