Science & Benefits

Hydrolyzed Quinoa is a plant-based protein broken down into amino acids for superior skin penetration. It forms a breathable, non-occlusive film that acts as a physical barrier against moisture loss and environmental pollutants. It is rich in cysteine and methionine, which support skin repair. It is completely non-comedogenic (Rating 0). It is a superior choice for 'sealing' hydration in acne-prone skin, providing a silky finish and barrier reinforcement without the need for heavy oils or waxes.
