Hyaluronic Acid: The Hydration Hero

📍 Found In: Gentle Hydrating Cleanser, Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Peptide Eye Contour Crème

Imagine your skin after a long drought, parched and craving for moisture. Now picture a refreshing waterfall cascading over that parched skin, leaving it feeling plumped and all refreshed. That is one of the key benefits Hyaluronic Acid offers. Known for its moisture attracting and retaining properties, its purpose serves to assist the skin in retaining water all while ensuring you look vibrant and your skin is left feeling hydrated. 

The Science: 
A peer reviewed study published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules showcased the role of hyaluronic acid in skin rejuvenation across both topical and injectable applications. The review found that HA-based formulations, including creams, serums, gels, and other dermal fillers significantly improved the skin’s hydration and supported collagen and elastin stimulation. The study also showed that HA-based formulations proved effective in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines as hyaluronic Acid has the natural ability to attract and retain water within the skin. this makes it a key ingredient for enhancing elasticity and maintaining that smooth, youthful complexion we all want.

Benefits of the ingredient:
✔ Deeply hydrates and plumps the skin. 

✔ Helps to retain water in the skin for a smoother, youthful look. 

✔ Contributes to a visibly firm and bouncy feel, enhancing overall skin comfort.



💡 Clenature Tip: 
Apply our Hyaluronic Acid Serum on slightly damp skin after cleansing to maximize absorption and lock in hydration.


Gluconolactone: The Gentle Resurfacer

Our skin is delicate, and with the harsh realities of life like irritation and dehydration, it may simply need a proper reset and that’s where Gluconolactone comes in. This naturally inspired ingredient is found both in our Witch Hazel Pore Perfecting Toner and Gentle Balancing Toner and works like a gentle polishing cloth, lifting away dead skin cells while drawing in moisture and supporting the appearance of a healthier skin barrier. 

The Science: 
A peer-reviewed clinical study published in Skin Research and Technology examined the effects of gluconolactone on skin hydration. Participants who applied a topical formula containing either 10% or 30% gluconolactone significantly experienced improved moisture levels across the face, including in sensitive areas such as under the eyes. The ingredient was also shown to be well tolerated, making it a gentle yet effective exfoliating option for those with sensitive or reactive skin

Green Tea Extract: The Antioxidant Champion

📍 Found In: Gentle Balancing Toner, Green Tea Antioxidant Serum, Watermelon Hydration Moisturizer, Multi Nutrient Complex.

A sip of green tea can help you feel refreshed in the morning, and in skincare, it offers that same dose of energizing support for your skin. Being rich in antioxidants like EGCG, Green Tea Extract acts like a shield against daily skin stressors. It helps protect your skin from the visible effects of environmental exposure while calming irritation and reducing the appearance of redness. The result? A complexion that looks a lot healthier, more balanced, and ready for anything.

The Science: 

A peer reviewed clinical study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology explored the effects of a green tea extract cream applied to one side of the face over eight weeks. Compared to the placebo side, the green tea treated skin showed significant improvements in elasticity, reduced dullness, and a noticeable reduction in the appearance of facial wrinkles, all without signs of irritation. These benefits are largely attributed to the powerful polyphenols in green tea, which act as antioxidants to fight free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. Additionally, green tea's natural anti-inflammatory properties make it a great choice for soothing sensitive or breakout prone skin.

Benefits of the ingredient: 

✔ Helps protect against visible environmental stressors. 
✔ Revitalizes and enhances the appearance of skin radiance.
✔ Helps soothe visible inflammation.



💡 Clenature Tip: 
Use the Green Tea Antioxidant Serum daily to help reinforce your skin’s barrier and brighten your complexion over time. For even more antioxidant support, pair it with the Gentle Balancing Toner or Watermelon Hydration Moisturizer.



Glycerin:The Silent Partner That Makes Every Ingredient Work Harder


📍 Found In: Gentle Hydrating Cleanser, Activated Charcoal Facial Cleanser, Witch Hazel Pore Perfecting Toner, Gentle Balancing Toner, Green Tea Antioxidant Serum, Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Advanced Peptide Repair Moisturizer, Watermelon Hydration Moisturizer etc.

Has your skin ever felt like it was on bad terms away from drying out or looking unbalanced? Well, glycerin is a great answer. It is the quiet hero behind many of our products that works behind the scenes to help keep everything in balance. It may not be the flashiest ingredient, but it is in many of our formulas for a reason. It works wonders. 

The Science: 
Glycerin, often called Glycerol, is a humectant, meaning it draws water into the skin from deeper layers and the environment. It helps support the skin barrier function and maintains hydration level without overwhelming your skin barrier. It works well with almost every skin type, from dry, to oily, combination, or even sensitive skin types. Studies have even shown that glycerin contributes to maintaining the skin barrier and increases skin softness and elasticity.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/

Benefits of the ingredient:
✔ Aids in the attraction and locking in of moisture. 

✔ Visibly softens and smooths the skin. 

✔ Helps support a healthy, balanced skin appearance.



💡 Clenature Tip: 
Pair products with glycerin and hyaluronic acid (like our Gentle Hydrating Cleanser + Hyaluronic Acid Serum combo) to double down on hydration as the glycerin pulls the water in, and hyaluronic acid holds onto it.


Grass-Fed Beef Tallow: Nature’s Most Luxurious Skin Food

📍 Found In: Peaceful Night Tallow Balm, Lemongrass Lavender Tallow Balm, Orange Bergamot Tallow Balm, Raw Shea Butter Balm

Grass fed tallow is reclaiming its place in skincare as it offers a nutrient rich experience your skin can both recognize and respond to. Once a staple in traditional beauty routines, this deeply restorative ingredient is prized for its compatibility with our skin’s natural structure. Due to its composition that closely mirrors the skin’s own fats and lipids, it is absorbed with ease, softens dry or flaky areas, all while helping maintain a supple, nourished feel.

The Science:
A peer reviewed study published in Cureus explored the growing use of tallow in modern skincare and highlighted its biocompatibility with human skin. Grass fed beef tallow is rich in skin supporting fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K, all of which contribute to a positive appearance in barrier health, moisture retention, and overall skin vitality. Its unique lipid profile helps replenish what the skin naturally loses, making it an ideal choice for soothing dryness and supporting long term hydration. Additional research in International Journal of Cosmetic Science even found that a skin barrier restoring cream containing vitamin E significantly enhanced hydration, boosted antioxidant enzyme activity, increased hyaluronic acid production, and improved type I procollagen synthesis in human keratinocyte cells and are all mechanisms that are aligned with the nourishing and barrier supportive benefits of tallow.
 While more clinical research is still needed, the current literature supports its potential as a gentle and effective moisturizer, especially for those with dry or sensitive skin.
