water (alaska glacier mineral) – The uninterrupted structure of glacial water resonates with skin cells to deliver powerful hydration.
Functional ingredients including five forms of hyaluronic acid, ( sodium hyaluronate , hyaluronic acid , hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid , sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer , hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans , niacinamide , resveratrol , adenosine that promote anti-aging, help skin hold moisture, brighten dull complexion, smooth uneven skin tone and aid in the production of collagen resulting in radiant skin.
Potent arctic botanicals including vaccinium angustifolium (blueberry) fruit extract to heal, protect and nourish skin from everyday stressors like environmental toxins, UV light, dehydration, and nutrient-poor food.
Definition: Alaska glacier water has an uninterrupted physical structure unlike biochemically treated, distilled or purified water. It is naturally alkaline and full of minerals, ions and trace elements with strong molecular coherence. Glacial water is uniquely suited to help nutrients transfer on a cellular level – the hexagonal structure of glacial water mimics skin cells and its active polarizing water molecules archive and transfer information (including light and sound) helping products to penetrate skin and resonate with energetic vibrations of cells to boost skin hydration and vitality.
Glacier-fed water sources are naturally free of chemical toxins and manmade substances and contain a unique profile of minerals and other trace elements provided by Mother Nature, along with ideal measures of total dissolved solids, alkalinity and dissolved oxygen. This natural balance is the foundation for all animals and humans to thrive.
Many personal care products are water-based and most of those are made with ground water that has gone through an energy intensive purification process of removing toxins. These methods strip water of its structure and mineral content, causing it to become acidic, mineral void, and bio-chemically aggressive. The water is left empty and seeks to extract minerals and re-balance itself from whatever living system it occupies, including our skin.
Glaciers are formed by compressed and recrystallized snow. Unlike biochemically treated distilled or purified water, Alaska glacier water’s physical hexagon structure is uninterrupted.
Definition:Sodium Hyaluronate: A sodium salt of hyaluronic acid that attracts and holds on to water, helping it retain moisture. Used as an emollient and powerful humectant (draw moisture in). Smaller than hyaluronic acid, a water-soluble salt that holds 1000 times its weight in water and is able to move more freely into the deeper layers of the skin, making it the ultimate skin moisturizer. Ingredients in salt form are more stable and less likely to oxidize.
Definition: Naturally-occurring substance (glycosaminoglycan) in skin known for its stunning capacity to attract and hold onto 1000x its weight in moisture as part of skin’s youth-supporting matrix. It works overtime by replenishing skin to enhance a healthy, supple look and feel. Hyaluronic acid can enhance moisture content beyond comparison. It also revitalizes skin’s outer surface layers, so they look and feel softer, smoother and radiantly hydrated. This instantly improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Definition: Low molecular weight, chemically chopped up version of the naturally big hyaluronic acid molecule. Typically works on the surface while regular hyaluronic acid works below the surface. Used together doubles the benefits.
Definition: A modified form (cross-linked pieces of 1-2 million Da molecular weight) of skin-replenishing hyaluronic acid attached to a polymer structure that creayes a mesh and keeps it within skin's uppermost layers longer, allowing for enhanced hydration. The special hyaluronic acid mesh has a remarkable water-binding capacity, 5 times more than the already crazy water-binding capacity of normal hyaluronic acid.
Definition: Plant-derived hydrolyzed form of hyaluronic acid. Hydrolization is a chemical process involving the reaction of a substance with water to form a modified substance and efficiently and increase depth hydration, improving the elasticity and firmness of the skin. They are easily accepted into the skin because of their positive charge, and can moisturize the skin, as well as improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily minimizing the depth of wrinkles on skin. Functions as a skin-softening agent, moisturizer and humectant.
Definition: Water soluble form of Vitamin B3 suppresses melanin (what causes age spots) and helps uv absorption. Also used to smooth the skin, improve tone and texture and help skin hold moisture.
The basis for niacinamide skin treatments comes from a series of studies conducted in 2005, where 50 women who showed signs of aging were treated with a niacinamide cream. The result indicated that the women treated with this type of cream showed significantly more improvement in skin elasticity and appearance than women treated with a placebo. Studies also suggest that niacinamide skin care products can reduce the signs and symptoms of severe acne or rosacea by reducing the inflammation of the skin.
Studies of the benefits of niacinamide creams also suggest that this chemical compound may increase the effectiveness of sunscreen in protecting cells against free radicals.
Definition: Potent polyphenolic antioxidant that’s derived from red grapes. Helps protect skin from environmental stressors and brightens a dull complexion. It also has significant skin-calming properties that may help minimize the look of redness.
Definition: Natural ingredient used in cosmetics and personal care products that functions as an emollient (retain moisture), skin-restoring and soothing agent, as well as an anti-aging ingredient. It may also promote faster wound healing. Decreases the appearance of wrinkles by energizing the skin’s surface, resulting in a smoother, more youthful complexion, decreased appearance of crow's feet, and reduce the depth of brow wrinkles.
Definition: Potent antioxidant and skin-conditioner. Blueberry contains several types of antioxidants (known as polyphenolics) and vitamin C, although the polyphenol-based antioxidants are present in far greater amounts.
Antioxidants in blueberries protect skin from the unwanted affects of visible and infrared light. Essentially, the blueberries work to intercept damage before it takes hold, leading to healthier-looking skin. Protection does not replace a broad-spectrum sunscreen, only complements sunscreen.

Definition: Natural betaine, which is obtained from the process of making sugar out of sugar beets by chromatography of the molasses, functions as an osmolyte. As an osmolyte, the structure of betaine allows it to attract water and help to maintain cell water balance. This function of betaine is particularly important for skin cells that are dehydrated or exposed to UV radiation. Furthermore, the ability of betaine to increase skin hydration has been shown to have an anti-wrinkle effect.
Research has found that betaine can also improve tight junction integrity. Tight junctions are protein complexes that prevent leakage of solutes and water between the cells. Tight junctions have been suggested to contribute in the prevention of penetration of harmful substances, such as allergens, pollutants, etc. into the skin. Additionally, tight junctions aid in preventing water loss through the skin. Therefore, by improving tight junction integrity, betaine increases the hydration status of the skin and also protects the skin from harmful environmental substances.
Betaine also functions as a texture enhancer in cosmetics and personal care products. It is known to provide a silky feel to skin care preparations without causing tackiness.
Definition:Protects skin by maintaining moisture balance below surface of the skin. A natural alcohol compound (can be synthetically made from plants) that loves water and binds to it. It's used as a humectant (draw moisture in), emollient (retain moisture), and lubricant (moisturizes skin by balancing water levels), decrease viscosity (thickness), perfume, solvent (dissolves ingredients). Also an emulsifier, emollient and lubricant.
Definition: Synthetically derived humectant, solvent and conditioning agent with moisturizing properties, helping to maintain a healthy skin barrier and giving the skin appearance of hydration. The skin absorbs and breaks it down into “gamma-hydroxybutryic acid,” a naturally occurring compound found in humans. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR), the FDA, and the World Health Organization have all found butylene glycol to be safe.
Definition: Used as a preservative. Also acts as a emollient (retain moisture), solvent (dissolves ingredients) and antioxidant. A synthetic belonging to the glycol family.
Definition: Water soluble form of Vitamin B3 suppresses melanin (what causes age spots) and helps uv absorption. Also used to smooth the skin, improve tone and texture and help skin hold moisture.

Definition: An alcohol derived from coconut used as a humectant and functions as the emollient base (retain moisture) with other preservatives.
Definition: Synthetic high molecular weight polymers of acrylic acid used to improve the texture and sensory feel of gel-like formulations. Doesn’t impart any benefit to the skin as it is a texture enhancer.
Definition: Naturally occurring amino acid in the primary building blocks of hair keratin and skin collagen. It is a natural moisturizer and helps the skin fight free radicals, maintain hydration, boost collagen production and help with wound healing.
Directions: Synthetic polymer chain (Carbomer) with glycerin attached to help deliver skin hydration. Similar to Carbomer and considered safe at concentrations up to 15%.
Definition: Natural ingredient used in cosmetics and personal care products that functions as an emollient (retain moisture), skin-restoring and soothing agent, as well as an anti-aging ingredient. It may also promote faster wound healing. Decreases the appearance of wrinkles by energizing the skin’s surface, resulting in a smoother, more youthful complexion, decreased appearance of crow's feet, and reduce the depth of brow wrinkles.
Definition: Short for disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Used as a chelating agent in cosmetic products, meaning it prevents ingredients in a formula from binding with trace elements (mainly minerals) that can be present in water. Studies have found that EDTAs, including disodium EDTA, as used in cosmetic formulations are safe. There is concern about some forms of EDTA that may not readily biodegrade in the aquatic environment. The level in our formulation is less than .03% and stabilizes the minerals found in glacial water and glacial mud used on our formulations.
