1. Argan Oil
Argan oil is extracted from argan tree kernels. The oil has skin-softening properties and is high in minerals and vitamins, which makes it ideal to combat the dryness of the winter season. Furthermore, despite its high concentration of fatty acids and vitamin E, argan oil has a light texture that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving it sticky. Due to the smaller molecular formula, this oil easily penetrates your skin to treat dryness from within. The oil acts as a magical ingredient on the skin.

2. Swiss Glacier Extract
An expedition to a glacier in Valais, Switzerland, was launched in order to discover and harvest novel micro-organisms for use in cosmetics. As glaciers have shrunk over the last few decades, microbes that were previously hidden beneath layers of permanent ice are now visible. In vitro, it helps to improve protein folding, reduces stress, and stimulates energy production. Swiss glacier extract energises tired skin while effectively reducing wrinkles. It also boosts radiance despite a hectic lifestyle and creates your own moisture reservoir.

3. Pataua Oil
It's an effective moisturiser with a high oleic acid content and distinctive properties like light texture and ease of skin absorption. Pataua oil is widely used as a nourishing moisturiser in skin care, and it is especially beneficial for those with ageing, oily, or seasoned skin. Because of the high levels of vitamin A, vitamin E, and amino acid protein in the oil, it has skin-firming properties. Furthermore, pataua oil has excellent moisturising properties that aid in the recovery of dry skin by forming a lipid film on the epidermis. 

4. Tulsi
Basil leaves or tulsi are traditional herbs that come in many different types, and Ayurveda is where its roots lie. Indians frequently revere tulsi, known as the “queen of herbs”. A variety of personal care products are made from basil essential oil, including hair oil, serum, shampoo, and more. According to tradition, it can help treat acne and reduce skin inflammation due to its antibacterial and antifungal properties. It can also naturally combat acne and skin irritation. Tulsi leaves also contain essential vitamins that aid in the fading of dark spots and acne scars.

5. Squalane
Squalane has anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing properties that can help reduce swelling and redness. In skin care products, it is primarily derived from plants such as olives and rice bran. Despite the fact that squalane is an oil, it is lightweight and does not clog pores. It is a powerful antioxidant that softens, nourishes, and calms dry, itchy skin while keeping it protected from harm. The oil is thus one of the best skincare ingredients for almost any skin problem and is suitable for every skin type.

These ingredients are the key to healthy skin, and you can garner extraordinary benefits by incorporating them into your skincare routine.
