Science & Benefits

Hematite Extract is an iron-rich mineral derivative. It is marketed for its ability to stimulate pro-collagen synthesis, providing a visible firming and 'plumping' effect similar to retinol but without the side effects. As a humectant, it provides a weightless, mineralized hydration layer. It is entirely non-comedogenic. It is a strategic 'anti-aging' active for acne-prone routines, facilitating the recovery of skin density and texture in areas damaged by past breakouts without triggering new ones.
