These ingredients provide skin conditioning, barrier support, and can help balance the skin's microbiome.

• MYFerment™ Balance (Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate): Derived from yeast fermentation, this filtrate acts like a prebiotic, supporting beneficial skin bacteria, improving hydration, and offering antioxidant and soothing effects.
• Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (aka Pitera): A popular yeast ferment known for revitalizing, smoothing, and hydrating the skin, contributing to an anti-aging effect. Both the standard and the Glycol Free versions are available.

Plant Extracts

(Replacing Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Lycium Chinense Fruit Extract, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Flower Extract)

These extracts offer anti-aging, antioxidant, and soothing properties.

• RareGinseng®-GF2 (Natural Retinol Replacement): A highly concentrated Ginseng extract component (Ginsenoside F2) with research showing significant anti-aging effects, improved elasticity, moisture retention, and anti-inflammatory benefits, comparable to Retinol.
• RareGinseng® All-K: Another Ginseng extract blend rich in rare Ginsenosides, including Compound K. It is effective in strengthening the skin barrier, preventing wrinkles, improving hydration, and offering photoprotection.

These ingredients provide moisture, improve skin elasticity, and condition the skin.

• NaturalProfile™ Safflower Seed Oil (Cold-Pressed): This oil is rich in Linoleic acid and Omega-6, helping to retain moisture, increase elasticity, and smooth the skin. It directly replaces the oil component from the Safflower seed extract.
• Shea Butter (Ultra Soft): A widely used natural butter known for its excellent moisturizing properties, helping to restore damaged skin and improve circulation.
• Other natural butters like Sweet Almond Butter, Avocado Butter, and Kokum Butter (Refined) can also be used to provide emolliency and skin conditioning.

Skin Barrier Components

(Replacing Glycolipids)

These ingredients help restore and strengthen the skin's natural barrier function.

• Skin-Barrier™ (Skin Barrier Restoration, Skin Mimic Ceramides Liposome): This product contains ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids in a liposomal form designed to mimic the skin's natural lipid structure and restore a damaged barrier.
• SkinLipid™: Developed to act like a second skin, creating a lamellar gel structure similar to the skin's lipid layer, protecting the skin and reducing water loss.
• Ceramide Complex (Water/Oil Dispersible Powder): A concentrated ceramide product that helps restore dry, damaged, and aging skin by protecting and building the skin's moisture barrier.

When substituting ingredients, it's important to consider the recommended usage rate for each new ingredient and adjust your formula accordingly.
