At Sunday Skin Society, we believe in the power of proven, high-performance ingredients. Our formulations are meticulously crafted, combining the best of nature and science to deliver tangible results. Learn more about the hero ingredients that make our products so effective.
Hyaluronic Acid: The Ultimate Hydrator
Often referred to as a "moisture magnet," Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin renowned for its incredible capacity to attract and hold onto water. In fact, it can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in moisture! We use a multi-molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid in our formulations, which means different-sized molecules hydrate multiple layers of the skin. Smaller molecules penetrate deeper for long-lasting hydration, while larger molecules sit closer to the surface to smooth and soften. This multi-level approach is the key to achieving that intensely hydrated, dewy, and visibly plump complexion, effectively reducing the appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration.
Glycerin: The Foundational Moisturiser
Glycerin is one of the most reliable and effective humectants in skincare. It works by drawing moisture from the air and the deeper layers of your skin to the outermost layer, the stratum corneum. This action not only provides an immediate boost of hydration but also plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy, functioning skin barrier. By ensuring the skin remains supple and moisturised, Glycerin helps to protect against environmental irritants and prevent moisture loss. Its gentle, non-comedogenic nature makes it a foundational ingredient for soothing dryness and maintaining soft, resilient skin, suitable for all skin types.
Collagen Extract: The Suppleness Supporter
Collagen is the essential protein that gives our skin its structure, firmness, and elasticity. While our bodies produce it naturally, this process slows over time. Our formulations use a high-quality Collagen Extract that works on the surface of the skin to provide significant benefits. When applied topically, it acts as a superior hydrating agent and forms a nourishing, moisture-binding film on the skin. This action helps to reduce trans-epidermal water loss, locking in hydration and giving the skin an immediately smoother and more supple appearance. This surface-level plumping effect helps to soften the look of fine lines and enhances the overall texture and feel of your skin.
Niacinamide: The Skin Barrier Architect
Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is a true skincare superstar celebrated for its remarkable versatility. Its primary role is to strengthen and support a healthy skin barrier by boosting the natural production of ceramides, which are essential for locking in moisture. Beyond this, Niacinamide is a powerful anti-inflammatory that works wonders to calm redness and soothe irritation. It also helps to visibly improve the appearance of enlarged pores, brighten skin tone by reducing the transfer of pigment, and regulate oil production. By incorporating this intelligent ingredient, we ensure our products not only hydrate but actively improve your skin's resilience and overall health, leading to a calmer, clearer, and more radiant complexion.
