By now, you’re probably well aware of the powers of hyaluronic acid, retinol, and witch hazel. We love these skincare ingredients just as much as you do for smoother, firmer, healthier complexions. However, Bigger Than Beauty Skincare® is fueled by more than just that beloved trio. Allow us to give you a rundown of the most impactful ingredients you’ll find in our serums, creams, and more. These acids, vitamins, and antioxidants are truly what make the Bigger Than Beauty™ Skincare lineup so effective and provide impressive results. 

Ferulic Acid 

This powerful antioxidant derived from plant cells helps protect skin from environmental aggressors that accelerate skin aging, such as pollution, UV light, and temperature changes. It’s also known to decrease the appearance of dark spots and reduce inflammation. Ferulic acid helps stabilize vitamins C and E to improve their efficacy, so these antioxidants often appear alongside each other in skincare formulas.

Niacinamide 

This buzzy skincare ingredient is a form of vitamin B3 beloved for its wide variety of benefits, including, brightening dull skin, evening out texture and tone, and minimizing the appearance of pores. Niacinamide can also reduce moisture loss while quelling redness and inflammation, especially when breakouts are happening.

Amino Acids 

Serine, alanine, glycine, glutamic acid, threonine, arginine, and proline are the names of just a handful of the amino acids we spike our products with. Together, they moisturize skin, leaving it bouncier and more supple.

AHAs

Glycolic acid and vegan lactic acid belong to a family of chemical exfoliants known as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). They are the next generation of face scrubs, gently removing dull, dead skin cells from the surface of skin and leaving it brighter and smoother without any irritation or microtears.

BHAs 

Salicylic acid falls under the umbrella of beta hydroxy acids aka BHAs. These chemical exfoliants dive deeper into pores than AHAs to rid pores of dead skin cells and excess oiliness for a clearer, more balanced complexion.

Vitamin B5 

You may have heard of this form of vitamin B as panthenol or pantothenic acid. It’s a staple in Bigger Than Beauty Skincare® thanks to its ability to replenish moisture and lock it in. Vitamin B5 also keeps skin’s moisture barrier happy and healthy, so your complexion doesn’t become irritated, inflamed, or rough.

Vitamin C 

As one of the most well-researched skincare ingredients in the game, vitamin C is adored for the way it takes uneven, dull skin and turns it into the glowiest, brightest, and smoothest of complexions. It also diminishes and prevents dark spots, as well as provides antioxidant properties to protect skin from the likes of smog and UV rays.

Squalane 

This emollient-rich ingredient mimics the way your skin naturally hydrates itself to replenish your skin’s dewiness, amplify its softness, and seal in moisture without any unwanted shine. Squalane, not to be confused with its animal-derived sibling squalane, is completely vegan.
