Ingredients
The Science Behind Your Simplified Skincare Routine
Every ingredient in Glow Silk was chosen for sensitive skin that craves results without irritation. Here's why these 8 powerhouse ingredients work better together than any complicated routine.
Turmeric Extract Benefits for Sensitive Skin
Nature's Golden Anti-Inflammatory
What turmeric does for your skin: This ancient Ayurvedic treasure contains curcumin, a potent compound that soothes irritation, reduces redness, and gently brightens your complexion without harsh chemicals.
Why turmeric works for Australian skin: Living in Australia's harsh climate means your skin faces constant environmental stressors. Turmeric's anti-inflammatory properties help calm reactive skin while providing natural protection against daily irritants.
Scientific backing: Studies show curcumin reduces inflammatory markers in skin by up to 60%, making it ideal for sensitive skin types prone to redness and irritation.
Perfect for: Reactive skin, uneven tone, inflammation, rosacea-prone skin, and anyone seeking natural radiance without synthetic brighteners.
Saffron Extract: Why This Luxury Ingredient Brightens Skin
Red Gold for Luminous Skin
What saffron extract does: Known as the world's most expensive spice, saffron contains crocin and safranal - compounds that brighten skin tone, improve texture, and provide powerful antioxidant protection against environmental damage.
Why saffron works for sensitive skin: Unlike harsh chemical brighteners, saffron delivers visible results while being gentle enough for the most reactive skin types. This rare ingredient has been used in Persian and Indian skincare for over 3,000 years.
The Australian advantage: Saffron's antioxidant properties are particularly beneficial for Australian skin exposed to intense UV and pollution, helping prevent premature ageing and dark spots.
Perfect for: Dull complexion, uneven skin tone, dark spots, sun damage, and those wanting luxury skincare ingredients that deliver real results.
Niacinamide for Oily Skin and Large Pores
The Multi-Tasking Marvel Every Skin Type Needs
What niacinamide does for your skin: This form of Vitamin B3 regulates oil production, minimises pore appearance, strengthens your skin barrier, and reduces inflammation - all without causing irritation or dryness.
Why niacinamide is essential for Australian skincare: Our climate creates unique challenges - oily T-zones, dehydrated cheeks, and enlarged pores from heat and humidity. Niacinamide balances these concerns in one ingredient.
Clinical results: Research shows 5% niacinamide (our concentration) reduces sebum production by 23% and pore appearance by 15% in just 8 weeks.
Perfect for: Combination skin, oily areas, enlarged pores, sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, and anyone wanting balanced, healthy-looking skin without harsh treatments.
Hyaluronic Acid: The Ultimate Hydration for Australian Skin
Your Moisture Magnet in Harsh Climates
How hyaluronic acid transforms dehydrated skin: This molecule holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, drawing moisture from the environment and locking it into your skin for all-day hydration.
Why Australian skin needs hyaluronic acid: Air conditioning, heating, coastal winds, and inland dryness constantly dehydrate our skin. Hyaluronic acid ensures your skin stays plump and dewy regardless of environmental stressors.
The science: Multiple molecular weights in our formula mean surface hydration AND deep moisture penetration for lasting results.
Perfect for: All skin types, dehydrated skin, mature skin, air-conditioned environments, and anyone living in Australia's diverse climate zones.
Bakuchiol: Plant-Based Retinol Alternative for Sensitive Skin
Anti-Ageing Without the Drama
What makes bakuchiol better than retinol: This plant-derived ingredient stimulates collagen production and smooths fine lines like retinol, but without irritation, dryness, sun sensitivity, or pregnancy restrictions.
Why sensitive skin loves bakuchiol: Traditional retinoids can be too harsh for reactive skin types. Bakuchiol delivers the same anti-ageing benefits with zero downtime or adjustment period.
Clinical evidence: Studies show bakuchiol increases skin firmness by 20% and reduces wrinkle depth by 23% after 12 weeks of use.
Perfect for: Sensitive skin, pregnant/breastfeeding mothers, retinol-intolerant skin, beginners to anti-ageing, and anyone wanting results without side effects.
Ceramide Complex for Compromised Skin Barriers
Rebuilding Your Skin's Natural Defence System
How ceramides strengthen sensitive skin: These naturally-occurring lipids act like mortar between skin cells, strengthening your protective barrier and preventing moisture loss while reducing sensitivity.
Why Australian skin needs ceramide support: Harsh weather, air conditioning, and over-cleansing compromise our skin barriers. Our triple ceramide complex rebuilds these defences for healthier, more resilient skin.
The barrier science: Healthy skin barriers are 50% ceramides. Environmental damage depletes these levels, leading to sensitivity, dryness, and premature ageing.
Perfect for: Sensitive skin, compromised barriers, eczema-prone skin, dryness, irritation, and anyone living in extreme climates.
Vitamin C Benefits for Sensitive Skin Types
Brightening Without the Burn
How our gentle Vitamin C works: This stabilised form brightens skin, fades dark spots, stimulates collagen production, and protects against free radical damage without the stinging or irritation of traditional L-ascorbic acid.
Why sensitive skin can finally use Vitamin C: We've carefully formulated our Vitamin C to deliver maximum brightening benefits while remaining gentle enough for reactive skin types.
Australian skin benefits: Living with intense UV exposure means we need extra antioxidant protection. Our Vitamin C provides this defence while reversing existing sun damage.
Perfect for: Dull skin, dark spots, sun damage, environmental protection, sensitive skin that can't tolerate traditional Vitamin C, and anyone wanting healthy radiance.
Coenzyme Q10: Anti-Ageing for Tired, Stressed Skin
Cellular Energy for Modern Life
What CoQ10 does for exhausted skin: This powerful antioxidant energises tired skin cells, helping them function optimally while protecting against environmental damage and visible signs of fatigue.
Why busy Australians need CoQ10: Modern life is exhausting - long work hours, stress, pollution, and screen time all show on our faces. CoQ10 helps combat these visible signs for a well-rested glow.
The energy science: CoQ10 levels naturally decline with age and stress. Topical application helps restore cellular energy for healthier, more resilient skin.
Perfect for: Tired-looking skin, stress-related ageing, environmental protection, busy lifestyles, and anyone wanting to look as energised as they feel.
