Firstly, the entire formulation is a mousse-like texture, it is light, fluffy almost, and is quickly absorbed into the skin. Slight exfoliation and the promotion of cell turnover is initiated by Lauryl Lactate, which is the ester of Lactic Acid, the natural alpha-hydroxy acid found in milk. This acid ester works on the surface of the skin and helps to impart radiance by removing dead cells. The next powerful ingredient is beta glucan, which is a derivative of glucose. The beta glucan plays an interesting role in this concoction - it helps to strengthen and regenerate specific cells that target environmental toxins, dead cells, malfunctioning cells, or any other substances that are not natural or necessary for optimal functioning of the skin. Once initiated, these cells target the removal of cells, toxins, or unnatural substances that may be the result of UV damage, environmental toxins, and free radicals. Ultimately, the beta glucan helps to restore youth and is known to diminish fine lines while also returning skin to optimal function by ensuring that its protection factors are strong.
Along with a shot of Vitamin E, which helps to moisturize and protect the skin, Hope in a Jar also contains Retinyl Palmitate, the precursor to Vitamin A (my favourite all-time skincare ingredient), which encourages cell proliferation and turnover, promotes collagen and elastin production, and reduces fine lines, sun damage, and results in luminous, radiant skin.
Hope In a Jar has been a cult favourite for some time now, and right in time for the holiday season is limited-edition packaging, perfect for anyone on your list!
