A NEW PARADIGM IN SKINCARE.

MINIMAL INGREDIENT, LOW PH FORMULATIONS HELP TO RESTORE SKIN BARRIER FUNCTION BOOSTING ALL OTHER ASPECTS OF YOUR SKIN'S PERFORMANCE.

Our proprietary complex is science-backed and clinically shown to deliver transformative results.

Introducing

EMH-6™

OUR PROPRIETARY LOW pH FORMULATIONS POWERED BY EMH-6™:

  • Contribute to the MAINTENANCE OF OPTIMAL BACTERIA LEVELS IN THE SKIN'S MICROBIOME by sustaining an ideal pH range, thus impeding bacterial adhesion via diminished biofilm formation.14,15
  • HELP TO REDUCE PORE SIZE AND BLEMISHES resulting in clearer skin through microexfoliation and bactericidal effects of glycolic acid breaking down bacterial cell membranes with low pH.1,14,15
  • REDUCE TEWL (TRANSEPIDERMAL WATER LOSS) AND INCREASES DESQUAMATION OF THE STRATUM CORNEUM inducing biological responses that can restore skin barrier function and integrity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.11,14
  • Promote uniform skin topography and DIMINISHES THE APPEARANCE OF POST-INFLAMMATORY HYPERPIGMENTATION AND SCARRING through consistent chemical exfoliation.5
  • Contribute to the ENHANCEMENT OF THE SKIN BARRIER FUNCTION by maintaining an equilibrium in the acid mantle and mitigating the detrimental effects of environmental stressors.11,14

OUR ORGANIC PRICKLY PEAR SEED OIL:

  • Is a NON-COMEDOGENIC PRODUCT ESSENTIAL IN THE TREATMENT OF ACNE, as it facilitates the maintenance of optimal epidermal linoleic acid levels, thereby mitigating and averting acne manifestations.7
  • EFFECTIVELY DIMINISHES BOTH CHRONIC AND ACUTE COMEDONES. Its comedolytic properties enhance keratinization and regulate sebum production through topical application, thereby actively mitigating comedones and impeding the reemergence of acne lesions.10
  • FACILITATES WOUND HEALING AND AIDS IN PREVENTING INFECTION owing to its oxygen-permitting, antimicrobial, anti-yeast, and anti-fungal attributes.8,9
  • Serves as an EMPIRICALLY-SUPPORTED THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION FOR LASER-INDUCED SKIN BURNS AND SURGICAL WOUNDS.2
  • Contribute to the diminishment of fine lines and wrinkles, concurrently enhancing elasticity and firmness due to its ANGIOGENIC PROPERTIES AND NEOCOLLAGENESIS.8
  • ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AGENTS PROVIDE PROTECTION against oxidative stress, tissue breakdown, free radical damage, and environmental stress factors.3,4
