Lime Caviar

NATURAL SOURCE OF AHAS

AHAs help to promote collagen production by destroying old collagen fibres to make way for new ones and encourage blood flow to the skin for a healthy glow.

Innovative discoveries

At the apex of science and Nature, you’ll find Antipodes. We search globally for cutting-edge, natural-origin ingredients that are scientifically proven. As a natural beauty brand, that sets us, and your skin, apart. From probiotics to high-tech ferments, we select compounds that have been created via toxin-free methods and subject to intensive clinical and scientific testing.

Sepilift™ DPHP

DIPALMITOYL HYDROXYPROLINE

• Smooths fine lines
• Collagen support
• Moisturising

Sepilift™ DPHP is a concentrated active ingredient that helps to stimulate collagen and improve skin moisturisation, correcting deep wrinkles and signs of dehydration. It is an oil-soluble derivative of hydroxyproline, the primary amino acid in collagen, and plays a key role in collagen production and stability.

Plant hyaluronic acid

HOLDS UP TO 1000 TIME ITS WEIGHT IN WATER

• Freshens & plumps
• Intensely hydrates
•Protects against moisture loss

Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide found naturally in the human body as a major component of skin, eyes, and joints. It has powerful moisture-retaining properties, with the ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. It is also viscoelastic, a unique consistency that both flows and stretches. This powerful molecule is the body’s super hydrator, key to boosting water levels in the skin and keeping skin fresh and plumped.

Kalibiome probiotics

GOOD BACTERIA FOR HEALTHIER-LOOKING SKIN

• Strengthens the skin barrier
• Balances the microbiome
• Boosts hydration Reduces redness

A new innovation in skincare, Kalibiome probiotics are skin-loving ‘good bacteria’. These special strains of non-live probiotics (or ‘postbiotics’) are made from a small amount of cultured bacteria, put through a double fermentation process to remove any bad bacteria and toxins – making them stable for use in our vegan beauty products.

Melanostatine™ 5 peptides

TARGETS AND CORRECTS HYPER-PIGMENTATION

• Reduces pigmentation
• Corrects uneven skin tone
• Brightens dull skin

Peptides are short chains of amino acids: building blocks of proteins that are crucial to the function and appearance of skin. We use a stable, biomimetic peptide that acts as a melatonin inhibitor, helping to block the synthesis of melanin – the substance that gives skin its colour. Too much melanin can result in dark spots, age spots, and uneven skin tone. By inhibiting the synthesis of melanin, the peptide helps to diminish pigmentation and cultivate a brighter skin tone.

“Our formulations occupy a rarefied atmosphere at the apex of science and nature. We combine lush natural ingredients with cutting-edge innovations to create formulations with scientific performance. As a natural beauty brand, that sets us apart.”

Elizabeth Barbalich, Antipodes CEO & founder
