Valjean Labs Facial Serum, Glow, Vitamin C and Magnesium

Product Information

They help loosen up the dirt and grime from your skin and hair to allow for water to wash it away with ease. BTW, lye is not something new. It was already used by ancient Egyptians to help oil and fat magically turn into something else. Can you guess what? Yes, it’s soap. It still often shows up in the ingredient list of soaps and other cleansers. Valjean Labs Clarify Serum contains retinyl palmitate, the ester of retinol (another name for vitamin A) and palmitic acid (a saturated fatty acid). Even though retinyl palmitate is listed after xanthan gum, it will likely still provide some benefit to the skin. This is because concentrations as low as 0.01% have been proven to be effective.

There has been some healthy controversy surrounding them due to a few studies finding paraben presence in breast tumours and breast tissue. However, the majority of the scientific community have deemed these findings non-conclusive due to the limitations of these studies. For example, in case of AHA or BHA exfoliants, the right pH is super-duper important, and pH adjusters like sodium hydroxide are needed. Humectants also provide temporary anti-aging effects because the extra hydration is extra volume, which effectively plumps out the skin and makes lines and wrinkles less noticeable. However, this effect is transient – as soon as the moisture content in skin decreases, lines and wrinkles will return to normal size.No matter the origin, in small amounts (up to 1%) it’s a nice, gentle preservative. Has to be combined with some other nice preservatives, like potassium sorbateto be broad spectrum enough. Alcohol ingredients are widely used in cosmetics and come in different types. For the most part alcohols are not problematic at all. However some sulfates are so good at their job, they can wash off your skin’s own natural oils that keep it moisturised and protected which can lead to dryness and irritation.
