The % active ingredient on the label isn't what reaches your skin.
Clinical skincare loses active ingredient efficacy twice—once while sitting out on the shelf, once at the skin barrier. We built a technology for each.
Reimagining the delivery of tried and true anti-aging skincare ingredients.
Skincare ingredients start disappearing the moment they meet water.
See the data
Vitamin C, Retinol and CoQ10 oxidize and hydrolyze the moment they are bottled. In independent testing of 25 leading clinical products, actives were already 30% below label claims the day they were opened, and then went on to lose another 40% by week six — long before you've finished the bottle.1
Patented Powder Dosing
Keep the active ingredient dry and precision-dosed. You activate it fresh, at full strength, the moment you use it.
How Activated Serums Work
The skincare molecules that work best can't get through the barrier.
See the science
The stratum corneum is 10–20 microns thick and exists to keep things out. Dermatology's working rule: above roughly 500 Daltons, molecules don't cross intact skin in meaningful quantity. Peptides sit above that line. So does Hesperidin, at around 610.2
Active Ion Delivery
A pharmaceutical carrier system, licensed out of drug development, that escorts large molecules past the skin barrier to skin's deeper levels where they can be most effective.

Degradation curves as observed in lab testing of top-selling clinical Vitamin C serum skincare products.1 The optimal concentration for topical L-ascorbic acid is 10%.3 The grey curve is solid to Day 60, where the degradation study ended, and dashed beyond that, where it is extrapolated from the same rate of loss.
