If you’re not well versed in the world of skincare, you may be overwhelmed by the intimidating names constantly thrown by dermatologists when talking about active ingredients - like Peptides, Ceramides or Hyaluronic Acid.
Have no fear - we’re here to break down what actives actually are and why you need to start incorporating them into your skincare routine if you want healthy, glowing skin!
What are actives?
Actives are products that contain active ingredients that are backed by science. This means if they appear on a bottle of your skincare, they will most likely be effective and give you the results they promise to give. They’ve usually been proven in a lab, by research, to change the skin in some way.

You may be wondering how we got our ‘clinically-proven’ results for some of our products. Our products have been in vitro tested by a lab in New Zealand called Trinity Bioactives. They use real human skin cells and inject the cells with our products, then measure the increase in collagen and elastin in the skin cells. These results and claims shown on our product pages have come from the lab where we had it all tested.
