At Luminance Skincare, using safe, high-quality ingredients is very important. We believe every constituent of a skincare product should be either organic or wildcrafted. Ours are. We believe that ingredients considered separately should all be what skin readily considers a nutrient source and non-threatening. Ours are. Formulating an ideal skincare product is a lot more than assembling a list of good ingredients, it’s understanding the secondary and sometimes tertiary interactions and achieving the ideal ratios. We always do.

Ceramide 3 Protects And Supports 

Vegetable derived ceramides, paired with essential fatty acids from soybean seed extract, support the skin's lipid barrier to increase moisture retention. Ceramide 3 is recognized for reinforcing and protecting the skin from trans-epidermal water loss and it is believed that ceramide 3 may also help improve epidermal integrity while providing protection from photo damage, surfactants, stress, and low humidity conditions. Let's delve into the analysis of the components and potential benefits of ceramides for skin:

Fatty Acids:

1. Ceramides are classified as lipid molecules and are typically composed of fatty acids and sphingosine. Ceramides are components of sphingomyelin, one of the major lipids of the lipid bilayer. They provide structural support to cells, improving cellular integrity.

Collagen Production:

1. PhytoCeramides are also thought to increase the collagen production in fibroblasts. When the amount of ceramide is slightly increased, the extracellular matrix becomes homeostatically synthesized, increasing the amount of collagen. 

Apricot Kernel Oil Moisturizes And Softens 

It is derived from the kernels (seeds) of apricots and is valued for its lightweight texture and potential benefits for skin care. Let's delve into the analysis of the components and potential benefits of apricot kernel oil for human facial skin:

Fatty Acids:

1. Oleic Acid: Apricot kernel oil contains oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that helps moisturize and soften the skin. It forms a protective barrier on the skin's surface, preventing moisture loss and promoting hydration.

2. Linoleic Acid: Apricot kernel oil also contains linoleic acid, which is an essential fatty acid that supports the skin's barrier function and overall health. Linoleic acid is particularly beneficial for maintaining balanced sebum production, making it suitable for various skin types.

Vitamins:

1. Vitamin E: Apricot kernel oil is a good source of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radicals, thereby supporting a healthy and youthful appearance.
2. Phytosterols: Apricot kernel oil contains phytosterols, plant compounds with anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds can contribute to reducing redness and soothing irritated skin.

Apricot Kernel Oil Benefits for Human Facial Skin:

1. Lightweight Moisturization: Apricot kernel oil's lightweight texture makes it easily absorbed by the skin. It provides effective hydration without feeling greasy, making it suitable for both dry and oily skin types.

2. Antioxidant Protection: The vitamin E content in apricot kernel oil provides antioxidant benefits, helping to combat oxidative stress and premature aging caused by free radicals.
3. Nourishing and Softening: Oleic acid in apricot kernel oil helps nourish and soften the skin, enhancing its texture and overall appearance.
4.   Supporting Skin Barrier: The fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, contribute to maintaining the skin's natural barrier function. This can help lock in moisture and protect the skin from environmental stressors.
5. Calming Irritation: Apricot kernel oil's phytosterols have anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated skin and alleviate redness.
6.   Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Vitamin E's antioxidant properties support skin health and may contribute to reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
7. Gentle for Sensitive Skin: The mild nature of apricot kernel oil makes it suitable for sensitive skin, as it is less likely to cause irritation.
