Our ingredients

Each ingredient in our formula is chosen for a specific benefit. Below is a simple breakdown of what they do and why they matter.

Aloe Vera

Supports smoother, more elastic skin by boosting collagen, retaining moisture, protecting against sun damage, and helping reduce wrinkles and acne.

BCAAs + Glutamine

Essential amino acids that help your body produce collagen and elastin, which keep skin firm and youthful.

Ferulic Acid

A powerful antioxidant that protects skin from sun damage and helps wounds heal faster.

Glycine

A key building block of collagen that supports skin strength and helps protect cells from environmental damage.

Grape Seed Extract

Rich in antioxidants that protect against UV damage, support collagen and elastin, reduce inflammation, and help brighten skin.

Hyaluronic Acid

Keeps skin hydrated by holding water in the skin, giving it a fuller and more youthful appearance.

L-Cysteine

Helps the liver break down toxic byproducts of alcohol, reducing nausea and headaches from hangovers.

Proline & Hydroxyproline

Amino acids needed to build strong, structured collagen for healthy skin.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

Supports energy production and helps the body break down alcohol more efficiently, which may reduce hangover severity.

Vitamin A

Protects skin from sun damage, supports new skin cell production, and helps reduce acne.

Vitamin C

Critical for collagen production, protects against sun and environmental damage, and slows collagen breakdown as you age.

Vitamin E

Works with Vitamin C to moisturize skin, protect from environmental damage, and reduce dark spots.

Zinc

Helps your body metabolize alcohol faster and supports overall metabolic health.

Polyphenols

Plant-based antioxidants that protect cells from damage and may help reduce disease risk.

In clinical trials, consuming aloe orally for 90 days has been shown to reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and increase type I procollagen. With over 75 potentially beneficial compounds, aloe is an essential ingredient for skin care, topical or oral. It elevates collagen content and quality, protects skin from harmful UV rays, retains moisture, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and even has anti-acne properties.

Scientific research has shown that the branch chain amino acids  (BCCA)  in conjunction with glutamine, are critical building blocks for the synthesis of collagen and elasticity, two essential proteins for healthy, youthful skin.

Exposure to UV light (sunlight) leads to skin cell damage and death. Ferulic acid (FA), is considered a super antioxidant causing skin cells to be less susceptible to damage due to sun exposure.  It additionally   reduced the time needed for the healing of wounds

Glycine is the most abundant amino acid present in the molecule collagen.  Among many things, a higher concentration of collagen is responsible for youthful skin.  Glycine also plays a crucial role in producing a potent antioxidant that helps protect your cells against environmental damage.

Grape seed is a superior antioxidant with resveratrol as its primary active polyphenol.  Not only does it repair damage from environmental exposure, but it also has sunscreen-like properties when taken orally.  It has been shown to inhibit the degradation of elastin and collagen when exposed to UV light.

In addition, it is also a helping factor in collagen synthesis, an anti-inflammatory, and has some influence on skin brightening.



Hyaluronic acid (HA) promotes the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that contribute to youthful, healthy skin.  Loss of skin moisture contributes to skin aging.  HA has the unique capacity to bind and retain water molecules keeping skin moisturized giving it  skin a fuller look.

L-Cysteine gives your liver help in reducing acetaldehyde, a toxic by-product of alcohol metabolism.  Excess acetaldehyde is what gives you nausea and headaches associated with hangovers

Scientific research has shown that L-glutamine in conjunction with branch-chain amino acids (BCCA) is a critical building block for enhancing the synthesis of collagen and elasticity, two essential proteins for healthy, youthful skin.

Amino acids proline, along with hydroxyproline and glycine,  are required not only for collagen production but also for the structure and strength of collagen.  Proline is also a precursor in synthesizing hydroxyproline, which also plays a key role in collagen synthesis.    

Niacinamide is a precursor to NAD+, essential in effective alcohol metabolism. NAD+ provides the energy necessary for all steps of metabolism. The current findings suggest that a more rapid and efficient breakdown of ethanol into acetaldehyde, and acetaldehyde into acetate, may be associated with less severe hangovers.

Vitamin A is an antioxidant known to help prevent photodamage, which is the premature aging of the skin caused by sun exposure.  Vitamin A can increase the production of new skin cells. In addition, vitamin A reduces the production of acne.

Ascorbic acid is exceptionally vital for collagen production.  Additionally, it inhibits the degradation of collagen as we age.  Vitamin C, amongst many other things, prevents and repairs skin damage caused by sun exposure and environmental toxins.

Vitamin E is an extremely beneficial antioxidant for skin health.  It works in synergy with Vitamin C to retain moisture in the skin.  Additionally, it accelerates the production of new skin cells and has photoprotective effects, preventing and repairing damage due to environmental exposures. It has also the ability to reduce hyperpigmentation

Zinc is essential in converting ethanol into acetaldehyde, the first step of metabolizing alcohol. Since the body does not produce zinc, the source of zinc comes from diet. Studies suggest that people who have higher levels of zinc will metabolize alcohol much faster than people with lower levels of zinc.

Polyphenols are beneficial compounds found in plant foods.  They act as antioxidants preventing, reducing, and reversing exposure to environmental damage on the cellular level.  Studies suggestion that polyphenols may also play an active role in protection again the development of some diseases and cancers
