VEMEL INGREDIENTS EXPLAINED
Bakuchiol vs Retinol Explained
BakuchiolBakuchiol is a plant derived ingredient chosen for its ability to support smoother looking skin, visible radiance and a more even looking complexion without the dryness often associated with traditional retinol routines. Its gentle nature makes it particularly suitable for sensitive and menopausal skin. We chose Bakuchiol because it helps support skin renewal and visible radiance while remaining comfortable for everyday use.
Does Collagen Skincare Really Work?
Collamung™ FermentCollamung™ Ferment was chosen for its ability to support the skin's natural collagen production rather than relying on collagen itself. While collagen can help moisturise the skin's surface, collagen molecules are generally too large to become part of the skin's own collagen structures. This is why we focus on biotech ingredients that help support the skin's natural processes instead. Developed through fermentation, Collamung™ helps support firmer looking, smoother and more hydrated skin, making it a key ingredient in our collagen focused skincare philosophy.
What Does Fragrance Mean On An Ingredient List?
Fragrance is one of the least understood terms in skincare. On an ingredient list, it can represent a blend of multiple compounds, many of which do not need to be individually disclosed. While certain allergens must be declared, the majority of the fragrance composition can remain protected as a trade secret. We choose not to use added fragrance in our formulations, instead allowing the natural aroma of raw botanical ingredients to speak for themselves. The result is a delicate scent derived entirely from the ingredients themselves, often carrying soft botanical notes that fade naturally as they absorb into the skin.
Are Probiotics Good For Skin?
Probiotic FermentsProbiotic ferments were chosen for their ability to help support the skin microbiome, the ecosystem of microorganisms that naturally live on the skin's surface. A balanced microbiome plays an important role in maintaining hydration, comfort and skin barrier function. The fermentation process also breaks ingredients into smaller compounds that are often easier for the skin to utilise. We chose probiotic ferments because they help support healthier looking skin while working in harmony with the skin's natural balance.
How To Brighten Skin Without Acids
Songyi Mushroom ExtractSongyi Mushroom Extract was chosen for its ability to support brighter looking skin and a more even looking complexion without relying on stronger brightening approaches. Rich in naturally occurring compounds, it helps improve the appearance of dullness and uneven skin tone while remaining suitable for sensitive skin. We chose Songyi Mushroom because it helps support visible radiance and a more luminous complexion without relying on the frequent exfoliation often associated with acid based routines.
What Are Silicones In Skincare?
Green Algae LipidsSilicones are commonly used in skincare to create a smooth, silky skin feel and a temporary blurring effect. We chose green algae lipids instead because they help deliver softness while also supporting the skin barrier and moisture retention. Rich in skin compatible lipids, they help replenish the skin's natural lipid layer while leaving skin feeling smooth, comfortable and nourished. This allows us to create elegant textures without relying solely on ingredients designed to coat the skin's surface.
AHA Alternative For Sensitive Skin
Papaya Fruit EnzymesPapaya Fruit Enzymes were chosen for their ability to support smoother, brighter looking skin without relying on stronger acid based exfoliation. Unlike AHAs, which work by loosening the bonds between skin cells through acidity, papaya enzymes help break down excess surface build up in a gentler way. We chose papaya enzymes because they help support visible radiance and smoother looking skin while remaining suitable for sensitive and barrier conscious skincare routines.
What Are Peptides In Skincare?
Marine Algae Bio ActivesPeptides are often chosen for their ability to support firmer looking skin and visible signs of ageing. We chose marine algae bio actives because they offer broader support, helping to maintain hydration, reinforce the skin barrier and improve the appearance of skin vitality at the same time. Rich in naturally occurring compounds, algae bio actives help replenish moisture while supporting healthier looking skin, making them a versatile alternative within modern skincare formulations.
Vitamin C Alternative For Sensitive Skin
Acerola Cherry BiofermentAcerola Cherry Bioferment was chosen for its ability to support visible radiance and antioxidant protection while remaining suitable for sensitive skin. Naturally rich in vitamin C related compounds, it helps support brighter looking skin without relying on highly concentrated vitamin C formulas that can sometimes feel too active for reactive skin. The fermentation process breaks ingredients into smaller compounds that are often easier for the skin to utilise, helping to support a healthier looking complexion and natural glow.What Are Plant Sterols In Skincare?Pomegranate SterolsPomegranate Sterols were chosen for their ability to help replenish moisture and support the skin barrier. Naturally derived from organic upcycled pomegranate, they help reinforce the skin's lipid layer, improving moisture retention and skin comfort. We chose pomegranate sterols because they provide a plant based source of skin compatible lipids, helping skin feel softer, smoother and more resilient over time.
