This is the library of the ingredients in SENSCERA formulas, and the wider actives that matter in modern skincare, each with what it is, how it works, the strength of the evidence, and the products it lives in.

Cholesterol
One of the three essential barrier lipids, the skin's 'mortar' works only when cholesterol is present in the right ratio.

An antioxidant stimulant used in scalp care to invigorate the follicle environment, and to de-puff on skin.
Gluconolactone (PHA)
A next-generation polyhydroxy acid, exfoliates like an AHA but even gentler, with added hydration and antioxidant benefit.
