With the skincare industry evolving at such a rapid pace, it can sometimes be difficult to keep up. Ingredients that seem avant-garde today might be considered old news tomorrow – they often seem to disappear as quickly as they start trending.
With that said, some skincare ingredients in particular have really been turning heads lately. They may sound futuristic at first, but once you learn a little more about them, you’ll soon understand why they’re considered to be an integral part of the skincare industry’s future.
Wondering which skincare ingredients we’re talking about? Keep reading as Lavelier explores some of the new game-changing ingredients that have been pushing industry boundaries.
Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate
Chances are that you’ve heard of hyaluronic acid. It’s one of those ingredients that sounded science-y and futuristic a few years ago but is now very much mainstream. It’s loved for its hydrating capabilities and how it makes the skin look fuller, plumper, and dewier.
While many people assume that hyaluronic acid is the most hydrating ingredient around, this isn’t true anymore. Instead, thanks to biotechnology, various derivatives of hyaluronic acid have been created, with sodium acetylated hyaluronate being one.
This ingredient sees acetyl groups being added to hyaluronic acid. In layman’s terms, this results in a version of hyaluronic acid that binds even more effectively to the skin’s surface, enabling it to penetrate to a greater extent. It provides even more hydration than regular hyaluronic acid, and studies also show that it’s great at reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
You’ll find sodium acetylated hyaluronate, along with five other cutting-edge forms of hyaluronic acid, in the Lavelier String Lift Sculpting System. This exceptionally hydrating, two-part system will give your skin the most incredible glow!
Euglena Gracilis Polysaccharide
While Euglena gracilis polysaccharide may not be an easy skincare ingredient to pronounce, it’s definitely worth knowing. It really highlights the biotech aspect of the skincare industry, showing just how revolutionary skincare can be.
So, what exactly is it? Euglena gracilis polysaccharide is a very unique polysaccharide that comes from Euglena gracilis, which is a rare freshwater microalga that has just one single cell. It’s not an easy ingredient to source in the wild, which is why it has only recently come into the spotlight. Now that it can be efficiently grown in a lab, it’s much more accessible to the skincare industry.
What does it do for the skin? This ingredient is all about hydration. It forms a film over the skin’s surface, helping the skin to retain moisture while also giving the skin a smoother and firmer finish. It boasts antioxidant properties too, making it great for targeting the appearance of environmental damage. The best part? It’s completely safe for all skin types.
While this ingredient may not be a common one, you’ll find Euglena gracilis polysaccharide in the Lavelier 24K Cleopatra Nano Regimen. This three-part system brings together a quenching blend of hydrating skincare ingredients, including sodium hyaluronate, coral seaweed extract, and hydrolyzed collagen. Not only will it leave your skin looking plumper, but it will bring about a beautifully youthful glow.
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
While there’s no arguing with how influential vitamin C can be on the complexion, it’s not considered to be a very futuristic ingredient. After all, it has been used in skincare products for decades – it’s nothing new!
While that may be the case, topical vitamin C has come a long way over the years. Thanks to advances in science, there are now various versions of vitamin C available, which is where tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate comes in.
This form of vitamin C has been engineered to be oil-soluble. This enhances absorption since the ingredient will be capable of penetrating the skin’s lipid layers to reach the skin cells that need it. Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is also more stable than other forms of vitamin C, yet it provides the same visible effects. It will tackle the appearance of skin aging, reduce the visibility of hyperpigmentation, and more.
If you’d like to give this powerful antioxidant a try, you’ll find tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate in the Lavelier Oceana VitaGlow C Serum. It’s joined by ascorbyl palmitate, another cutting-edge vitamin C derivative, as well as vitamins A and E. Thanks to a blend of grape stem cells, coral seaweed extract, and several hydrating plant oils, this serum will pamper your skin with some of the most effective antioxidants around!
Serine
Finally, an ingredient with a name that’s easier to pronounce! With that said, serine is one of those skincare ingredients that very few people are familiar with. It’s an amino acid, one that occurs naturally in the skin. It forms a key component of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor while also providing support to the skin’s structure.
Being a humectant, serine is extremely hydrating too. It keeps the skin barrier feeling supported while also giving the skin a smoother and tighter finish. Thanks to its versatility, as well as the fact that it can be used on all skin types, it’s now incorporated into a variety of different skincare products.
One serine-infused product that’s well worth trying is the Lavelier Blue Algae Beauty Skincare Duo. This skincare system consists of two products, with serine found in the Blue Algae Calming Concentrate. There are several other noteworthy ingredients in this duo too, including sodium hyaluronate, resveratrol, and niacinamide.
Hexapeptide-2
Peptides are very popular skincare ingredients. They’re made up of short chains of amino acids, which the skin then uses to build its protein fibers. There are hundreds of different peptides used in skincare, with new ones constantly being introduced.
Hexapeptide-2 is one of those newer peptides that has really been making waves. It’s a synthetic, lab-produced peptide that works to regulate how pigmented the skin looks. It’s known for inhibiting the appearance of excess melanin in the skin, meaning that it’s also excellent at evening out the skin tone and lightening the visibility of dark spots.
For this reason, it’s often used in skincare products that are designed to brighten the look of the skin, just like the HydroCollagen Lift Mask from Lavelier’s Collagen Cooling Set Limited Edition. This mask combines hexapeptide-2 with nonapeptide-1, another peptide that has a brightening effect on the complexion. Meanwhile, acetyl hexapeptide-8 smooths away the appearance of wrinkles while niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, and collagen also work wonders on the complexion.
Dimethylaminoethanol Tartrate
If you’ve spent some time looking into skincare ingredients that are capable of diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, you may have already heard of dimethylaminoethanol tartrate. Also known as DMAE, this is a compound that naturally occurs in the human body. This means that the skin is happily receptive to it.
DMAE is most loved for how it lifts, tightens, and smooths the look of the skin. It’s a fast-acting ingredient, meaning that you’ll see immediate, albeit temporary, results soon after applying it for the first time. When used regularly, research confirms that it has a firming effect on the complexion. It boasts antioxidant properties too, while also working to reduce the feeling of inflammation in the skin. This all contributes to how DMAE makes the skin look fresher and more youthful.
You’ll find DMAE in a few different Lavelier products, including the Coral Luminous Wrinkle Reducing Treatment. This solution makes use of DMAE’s fast-acting properties by combining it with other high-performance skincare ingredients. The result is a product that’s able to instantly smooth away the visibility of facial creases, immediately giving you younger-looking skin.
While the Coral Luminous Wrinkle Reducing Syringe is usually used before big events, the Lavelier Eye Firming Concentrate is a product that allows for daily use of DMAE. With vitamins A, C, and E in the mix, along with caffeine, squalane, and coral seaweed, it will quickly have your eye area looking firmer and brighter.
Meteorite Powder
Meteorite powder isn’t an ingredient that you’d expect to find in a skincare product. However, it’s an ingredient that’s becoming increasingly popular, mainly due to how it has a significant brightening effect on the complexion.
Meteorite powder is also a good source of certain minerals. When applied topically, they can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. In certain formulas, meteorite powder can also have an exfoliating effect on the skin. However, this depends on the concentration at which it has been used.
If you’d like to add this futuristic ingredient to your skincare routine, check out the Lavelier HydroTherm Completion Creme. It’s loaded with powerful antioxidants, including resveratrol, retinol, and green tea extract. It’s a lightweight moisturizer that can be used daily to bring about younger-looking skin.
Hydrolyzed Coral Seaweed Extract
Last but not least, let’s talk about coral seaweed extract. It’s an ingredient that we wholeheartedly champion at Lavelier – you’ll find it in all of our skincare products. Why? For a few reasons…
Firstly, coral seaweed extract is incredibly hydrating. It functions as a humectant, drawing moisture to the skin. It’s also a rich source of antioxidants, minerals, and polysaccharides. These have a moisturizing and conditioning effect on the complexion while also targeting the appearance of environmental damage. It’s a great ingredient to use if you’re concerned about the effect that environmental stressors are having on your appearance, especially if you combine it with other antioxidant-rich skincare ingredients.
