Seven Powerful Ingredients Working in Perfect Synergy


Enhanced Cannabidiol (5mg/ml) – The Genetic Activator

At the heart of our formulation lies pharmaceutical-grade cannabidiol at an optimal therapeutic concentration. This enhanced CBD content doesn’t just provide surface benefits—it fundamentally reprograms your skin’s aging response by upregulating protective genes while downregulating inflammatory pathways. Clinical studies demonstrate that this concentration activates comprehensive antioxidant defense systems, promotes cellular autophagy for improved protein quality control, and enhances barrier function gene expression including filaggrin (4.8-fold increase) and involucrin (3.7-fold increase).
The enhanced concentration ensures optimal activation of the NRF2-mediated antioxidant response pathway, resulting in coordinated upregulation of phase II detoxifying enzymes and antioxidant proteins that provide superior protection against environmental stressors and age-related cellular damage.


Advanced Ceramide Complex (5%) – Barrier Restoration Technology

Our scientifically-balanced ceramide complex contains physiologically accurate ratios of ceramides NP, AP, and EOP, along with cholesterol and phytosphingosine, precisely mimicking your skin’s natural lipid matrix. This sophisticated blend addresses the well-documented 30% reduction in ceramide content that occurs with aging, directly replenishing depleted barrier lipids and restoring optimal barrier function.
X-ray diffraction studies confirm that our topically applied ceramides integrate seamlessly into the stratum corneum, forming organized lamellar structures essential for barrier integrity. Clinical trials demonstrate a 35-47% reduction in transepidermal water loss and 45% faster barrier recovery following controlled disruption, with histological analysis revealing increased epidermal thickness and improved dermal-epidermal junction architecture.


Niacinamide – Multi-Pathway Enhancement

This essential B-vitamin works synergistically with CBD to amplify anti-aging benefits through multiple complementary mechanisms. Niacinamide enhances ceramide synthesis by upregulating serine palmitoyl transferase, resulting in a 67% increase in natural ceramide production. As a precursor to NAD+/NADH and NADP+/NADPH, it enhances cellular energy metabolism and provides reducing equivalents for antioxidant systems.

 

The combination of CBD and niacinamide produces synergistic effects on gene expression that exceed the sum of their individual benefits, particularly evident in NAD+-dependent pathways where CBD enhances cellular NAD+ levels while niacinamide provides the precursor for synthesis, resulting in amplified activation of SIRT1-dependent longevity pathways.


N-Acetyl Glucosamine – Synergistic Renewal

Working in perfect harmony with niacinamide, N-Acetyl Glucosamine serves as a direct precursor for hyaluronic acid synthesis while promoting gentle exfoliation through inhibition of lysosomal enzymes that prevent normal desquamation. The landmark British Journal of Dermatology study demonstrated that the niacinamide-NAG combination provides superior benefits compared to either ingredient alone, with significant improvements in skin texture, tone, and hyperpigmentation reduction.
This synergistic partnership enhances the overall anti-aging efficacy of the formulation by addressing both surface renewal and deep dermal hydration simultaneously.


Natural Moisturizing Factor Complex – Biomimetic Hydration

Our precisely formulated NMF complex replicates the exact composition of your skin’s endogenous Natural Moisturizing Factor, which comprises 20-30% of the stratum corneum dry weight but declines significantly with age. This sophisticated blend includes sodium PCA (the most abundant NMF component at 12% of natural NMF), sodium lactate for pH regulation and hydration, urea for water-binding capacity and gene expression enhancement, glycine for barrier function support, and fructose as a natural humectant.
Research demonstrates that urea, a key NMF component, enhances barrier function by regulating epidermal gene expression, including upregulation of filaggrin, loricrin, and antimicrobial peptides, creating a comprehensive hydration and protection system that adapts to environmental conditions.


Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester – Neurogenic Inflammation Control

This innovative peptide addresses the often-overlooked neurogenic component of skin aging by modulating sensory nerve responses that contribute to inflammation and sensitivity. The peptide enhances β-endorphin production in keratinocytes, activating μ-opioid receptors that reduce neurogenic inflammation while providing natural soothing benefits.
Clinical studies using the capsaicin challenge model demonstrate significant reductions in skin sensitivity and faster soothing effects compared to traditional anti-inflammatory ingredients, with a 27% reduction in subjective discomfort and 31% reduction in objective erythema following controlled irritation.


Environmentally Responsive Moisturizing System – Adaptive Protection

Our advanced polymer system provides humidity-dependent water-binding capacity, ensuring optimal hydration regardless of environmental conditions. This technology demonstrates variable water-binding based on ambient humidity, providing enhanced protection during low-humidity conditions while preventing over-hydration in high-humidity environments.
Clinical validation from South African studies demonstrates superior hydration benefits compared to standard moisturizers, with significant improvements across varying environmental conditions, making this formulation ideal for global use and changing seasonal conditions.

Use once or twice a day, or as directed by your skincare professional. Apply over clean skin and on top of serums. Compatible with OptoDerm Serums.

Q. Is CBD legal and will it make me high?
A. It is legal, since CBD is a cannabinoid with no psychoactive activity. It will not make you high.

Q. Is CBD natural?
A. Yes, it is derived from hemp (cannabis sativa)

Q. What is the endocannabinoid system?
A. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a biological system composed of endocannabinoids, which are endogenous lipid-based retrograde neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors, and cannabinoid receptor proteins that are expressed throughout the mammalian central nervous system (including the brain and peripheral nervous system).

Q. Does the ECS exist in human skin?
A. Yes, in all cell types and especially the keratinocytes of the epidermis, which are responsible for the production of essential enzymes, filaggrin and ceramides necessary for a healthy skin barrier and good hydration.

Q. Does it work for psoriasis?
A. We do not make medical claims but CBD is implicated in controlling production of the inflammatory cytokines that result from an over-active immune system.
