What are ACTIVES in Skincare?

Powerhouse Actives, Real Results

Forget the watered-down products on retail shelves. There are the high-performance ingredients that make a difference but you’re probably not getting them in high enough quantities.  You can ~ when you make your own serums and creams. And yep—you can do it at home. And it’s easier than you think. 

Let’s be real: if you’re going to take the time to make your own skincare, it better do something. You’re not here to mix glorified lotion—you want glow, firmness, hydration, and maybe even a few baby hairs back on that hairline;)

That’s where the real actives come in.

Meet the Stars of the Show (and the Skin Goals They Deliver)

🧬 Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5: This firming peptide is like Botox’s chill cousin—no needles, no stiffness, just results. It stimulates collagen production and helps improve skin elasticity, which means smoother texture and that bouncy, plump feel we all want. It's especially great for softening fine lines and giving your skin that pillowy, youthful look. It’s included in the Serum Maker Triple Boost Serum and the Lip Plumping Balm.

💧 Hyaluronic Acid: The OG hydrator. Holds up to 1,000x its weight in water. If your skin’s thirsty, this one quenches it. It’s an integral staple in 3 of our Serum Maker recipes.

🌿 Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Soothes and strengthens the skin barrier—and it’s a hero for your scalp too. A key ingredient in our Hair Growth Tonic.

☕ Caffeine: Yep, for your face and your scalp. De-puffs eyes, stimulates circulation, and helps with hair regrowth. You can make the Serum Maker Eye Cream and Hair Growth Tonic today! Your follicles and under-eyes will thank you.

🧪 Niacinamide: The Swiss Army knife of actives. Brightens, evens tone, shrinks pores, and calms redness. Another multi-tasker in our eye cream and tonic.

🍃 Rosemary Extract: Known for its ability to stimulate scalp circulation and support hair density over time. It smells like a spa, but works like a treatment.

👁️ Vitamin K Liposomes: Special delivery for dark circles and under-eye bruising. Helps reduce discoloration and support microcirculation, because nobody wants raccoon eyes.
