DIRECTIONS
Apply one or two drops of serum on clean skin, smoothly over your face. Follow with Amália oil or your daily moisturizer.
VEGETABLE CERAMIDES
Dry, irritated and sensitive skin often lacks ceramides and as a result, the skin protective barrier is compromised. By adding ceramides to the skin, the skin’s barrier is strengthened.
GLYCOGEN
Reduces skin sensitivity and reinforces the skin’s natural barrier function. It softens the skin’s surface and provides good moisturisation and long-lasting hydration. It has been dermatologically tested, is non-irritating and hypoallergenic. It is also readily biodegradable and non-toxic to marine life.

INGREDIENT DEEP-DIVE
Saccharide Isomerate
Made from plant-derived glucose and fructose. Binds with the natural skin complex enabling deep and lasting hydration. It boosts the natural moisturising factor of the skin and stimulates the synthesis of ceramides and it improves and strengthens the skin barrier function.
Inulin, Fructose
This is prebiotic that supports the skin’s own microbiota and the growth of skin-friendly and wanted bacteria and inhibits the growth of unwanted and harmful pathogens.
Beta-Glucan
Beta-glucan is considered an excellent ingredient for improving the look of redness and other signs of sensitive skin.
Aquaxyl (Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, xylitol)
Aquaxyl improves water reserves and limits water loss. Desquamation is balanced, microrelief is smoothed. Moisturized and restructured, the skin is better equipped to combat external aggressions.
