AHAs (Lactic, Glycolic) and Shikimic Acid
From a chemical perspective, shikimic acid is a cyclohexenecarboxylic acid naturally derived from star anise. It provides gentle exfoliation and is particularly suitable for sensitive skin. Unlike stronger AHAs,shikimic acid functions as a mild desquamating agent, offering equally effective resurfacing benefits with a substantially lower risk of irritation. When combined with lactic and glycolic AHAs, it enhances exfoliating performance, delivering a powerful yet balanced action that leaves the skin smoother, fresher, and firmer in appearance.

Andrographolide
A bioactive compound derived from the Ayurvedic medicinal herb Andrographis paniculata, renowned for its potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. As one of the key components of our HappyFeelBoost™ complex, it helps strengthen the skin–brain connection, enhancing the skin’s adaptive response to stress while simultaneously supporting overall emotional well-being. It modulates visible redness, alleviates irritation, and slow the appearance of aging by supporting cellular function and promoting long-term skin and emotional resilience.

Bicosome Encapsulated Delivery System (Liposomal Niacinamide & Vitamin C)
It is an advanced skin delivery system that combines five active ingredients acting synergistically on the key biological pathways involved in hyperpigmentation. These actives—vitamin C, phytic acid, azeloglycine, niacinamide, and alpha-bisabolol—are selectively delivered by Bicosome technology into the relevant skin layers to regulate excessive melanin production, transfer, and oxidation, while reducing inflammation and promoting the fading of existing dark spots. Clinical studies have shown that Bicosome Complex effectively reduces the melanin index, brightens, and evens out skin tone without causing irritation. The system remains effective under UV exposure, does not induce photosensitivity or the “halo” effect, and can be safely used year-round, either alone or in combination with other treatments.
Hakozaki T, Minwalla L, Zhuang J, Chhoa M, Matsubara A, Miyamoto K, Greatens A, Hillebrand GG, Bissett DL, Boissy RE. The effect of niacinamide on reducing cutaneous pigmentation and suppression of melanosome transfer. Br J Dermatol. 2002 Jul;147(1):20-31.

A powerful peptide that helps the skin produce more collagen and extracellular matrix proteins in the dermis. In our Microbloom™-SH complex, it’s part of a patent pending formula that significantly supports firmness, elasticity, and visible improvements to skin texture over time.
Dymek, M.; Olechowska, K.; Hąc-Wydro, K.; Sikora, E. Liposomes as Carriers of GHK-Cu Tripeptide for Cosmetic Application. Pharmaceutics, 2023, 15, 2485.
Ectoin
This extremolyte pulls in water and locks in moisture, helping your skin stay hydrated, elastic and calm under stress. It also defends against UV, heat and pollution, supporting the skin barrier long-term.
Heinrich, U.; Garbe, B.; Tronnier, H. In Vivo Assessment of Ectoin: A Randomized, Vehicle-Controlled Clinical Trial. Skin Pharmacol Physiol, 2007, 20, 211–218.
Japanese Ume Extract
A powerful antioxidant that helps prevent damage to collagen and elastin, keeping skin firm and springy. It also helps reduce excess melanin, brightening skin and evening tone over time. Skin looks smoother, firmer and more refreshed.
Son, H.-U.; Choi, H.-J.; Alam, M.B.; Jeong, C.G.; Lee, H.I.; Kim, S.L.; Zhao, P.; Kim, T.-H.; Lee, S.-H. Prunus Mume Seed Exhibits Inhibitory Effect on Skin Senescence via SIRT1 and MMP-1 Regulation. Oxid. Med. Cell. Longev, 2021, 2021, 1–16.
Lipophilic Vitamin C
An oil-soluble form of vitamin C, known for its rapid skin absorption, was additionally included to enhance the performance of the Bicosome encapsulated delivery system, which contains a powerful combination of hydrophilic vitamin C, phytic acid, azeloglycine, niacinamide, and alpha-bisabolol — ingredients known to provide antioxidant protection, brighten the complexion, and help improve skin tone uniformity while supporting the skin’s barrier function.

Batory M, Rotsztejn H. Shikimic acid in the light of current knowledge. J Cosmet Dermatol. 2022 Feb;21(2):501-505.
Tapioca Starch polymer
A fast-acting biopolymer derived from cassava that forms a lightweight, elastic film on the skin’s surface, providing an immediate tightening and smoothing effect. Clinical studies have shown a visible reduction in wrinkle depth within several minutes of application, resulting in an instant lifting and firming appearance. The perceived tightening sensation arises from the polymer’s film-forming and tensing properties, which produce a transient mechanical effect on the skin surface lasting until the film dissipates. This mechanism is responsible for the formulation’s instant visible effect, delivering immediate improvement in skin smoothness and firmness while supporting longer-term texture refinement with regular use.
