Learn about Byoode ingredients

We give you a tour of the different ingredients that you can find in Byoode.

A

CHEMICAL NAME: 3-O-ETHYL ASCORBIC ACID
It shares a similar molecular structure to pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid), but ethylated ascorbic acid incorporates an additional carbon chain that blocks the most reactive region of the molecule. This carries the advantage that ethylated ascorbic acid does not face the stability challenges associated with pure vitamin C. The extra chain exerts a protective effect against oxidation and darkening, preventing the transformation into yellow tones. However, the molecule retains much of the antioxidant power characteristic of ascorbic acid.
This form of vitamin C helps safeguard the skin from harmful free radicals, while stimulating collagen synthesis and attenuating melanin formation, promoting a radiant and rejuvenated appearance. When applying products containing this component, it is possible to perceive a slight tingling, a result of its power, which disappears in a matter of minutes.

CHEMICAL NAME: SODIUM HYALURONATE AND NTA-H3

Hyaluronic acid constitutes one of the essential elements of our natural extracellular matrix, a structure that supports the skin. Its role is crucial in maintaining the firmness and suppleness of the complexion. Its unique ability to attract and hold more than a thousand times its own weight in water allows it to draw moisture from both the surrounding environment and from deeper layers of the skin into the upper layers of the epidermis. In the Byoode product range, we use a variety of hyaluronic acid weights, from smaller to larger molecules. Smaller molecules can penetrate deep into the skin, attracting moisture from the innermost layers of the dermis. Larger molecules, meanwhile, act as a hydration reservoir in the skin, nourishing the surface layers and preventing water loss to the environment. By combining low and high weights of hyaluronic acid, we achieve a balanced distribution of moisture throughout the skin, resulting in a smooth and supple complexion.
