Saccharide isomerate is a plant-derived, water-binding ingredient known for its powerful hydrating properties.

Its standout feature is its long-lasting hydration; studies indicate it can provide moisture for up to 72 hours after application. Unlike other humectants, saccharide isomerate binds firmly to the skin, ensuring prolonged moisture retention, even after cleansing or washing.

Lactococcus ferment lysate is a powerful probiotic-derived ingredient, composed of the broken-down cellular components (lysate) of Lactococcus lactis, a beneficial bacterium commonly found in fermented dairy products. When the bacterial cells are broken down, valuable components are left, such as enzymes, proteins, and peptides – all very beneficial for the skin.

For instance, Lactococcus ferment lysate is beneficial to the skin immune system, microbiome of the skin as well as the skin’s barrier function. This makes it a hero ingredient for conditions such as eczema, acne, and rosacea. This powerful ingredient enhances the skin’s ability to adapt to external stressors like climate changes, pollution, and UV exposure—factors that often contribute to premature ageing, sensitivity, and inflammation. In addition to strengthening the skin’s barrier, it promotes moisture retention and supports the skin’s natural healing processes.

Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a form of vitamin B3, a multi-functional ingredient that plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin. It is a water-soluble substance that offers a wide array of benefits for most skin types, including sensitive skin.

With its potent anti-inflammatory properties, niacinamide soothes irritated skin and is particularly beneficial for conditions such as acne, rosacea, eczema, and dry skin.

By boosting the production of ceramides, niacinamide strengthens the skin’s natural barrier. A healthy skin barrier helps to retain moisture and protect the skin from environmental stressors such as pollution and harmful UV rays, crucial for maintaining youthful, healthy skin.

As it enhances the skin’s ability to retain moisture, it is a hero ingredient for individuals with dry or dehydrated skin and pairs well with other hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid to provide long-lasting hydration.

For those with oily or combination skin, niacinamide is very effective at regulating oil production without drying out the skin and helps reduce the severity of breakouts, making it an excellent choice for acne-prone skin. An additional benefit of niacinamide is that it stimulates collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while also protecting against environmental stress, which can accelerate skin ageing.

Menthol is most widely recognised for its cooling effect on the skin. When applied, it activates the skin’s cold-sensitive receptors, creating a cooling sensation that can relieve discomfort and irritation. This makes menthol especially useful for soothing skin affected by sunburn, rashes, or minor burns.

The cooling sensation helps to distract from the sensation of pain or itching, providing immediate relief from discomfort. Menthol’s soothing properties – calming inflammation, reducing itching and promoting healing- make it an essential ingredient for relief from sunburn, acne, and skin irritation. Propaira’s itch-prone skin cream contains 2% menthol, designed to relieve discomfort from dryness, irritation, and itching.
