Osmosis ABC's: Retinaldehyde



We've finally made it to letter R and are so excited to delve into one of our very favorite, "can't-live-without-it", all-star skincare ingredients, Retinaldehyde! Here at Osmosis, we believe vitamin A plays an important role in your routine no matter your skin type, and of all the different forms, we firmly believe in the powers of Retinaldehyde because of its therapeutic qualities. Unlike retinol or retinoic acid, it is non sun-sensitizing as well as anti-bacterial. Because Retinaldehyde is the most active form of vitamin A, you can achieve fast results with a low dosage which helps prevent irritation or overstimulation of the skin. We are breaking it down and listing the top benefits of this powerhouse ingredient and which Osmosis must-haves claim its magic.


1. Age Reversal. The most popular quality of Retinaldehyde is its skin-firming, age-defying components. It works by implementing cellular turnover, repairing connective tissue, boosting collagen synthesis, and increasing elasticity. Basically, this super-ingredient tightens and plumps skin that naturally loses elasticity over time. The ultimate skin time machine.


2. Restoration. Aside from the fact that this powerhouse ingredient helps you achieve that "10 years younger" affect we're all striving for, it also delivers nutrients keeping the skin nice and healthy. This is what gives you a rejuvenated glow. Healthy skin is happy skin, happy skin is a beautiful you!


3. Our Specialized Liposomal Delivery System. Retinaldehyde is great on its own, but what makes Osmosis different is our unique delivery method to help your skin soak up the most out of your vitamin A products. Our vitamin A's are coated in phosphatidylcholine (pst...we learned about it last month, peep that blog here if you missed it) which is an ingredient the skin easily recognizes allowing for optimal penetration deep into the dermal layer of the skin. This is what really packs the punch for visible results!


4. Osmosis Retinaldehyde Super-Stars. Our lineup of vitamin A serums offer accessible Retinaldehyde, all of which deliver adequate results at a comfortable percentage for your unique skin. This empowering active ingredient can sometimes cause stimulation to sensitive skin. To combat this, our vitamin A Serum line ranges in different intensities to accommodate sensitive to resilient skin types. Explore these super serums here to find out which one is right for you!

Behind Osmosis' Science: Growth Factor Technology



Here at Osmosis, we believe in utilizing science in a way that matches our bodies' own natural science. That is where one of our top technologies comes into play, stem cells! We have recently vamped up the formula in one of our most technologically advanced serums, StemFactor, with accelerated results from utilizing proteins like collagen and growth factors derived from stem cells to take skin rejuvenation to the next level.


So, what are growth factors? Growth factors are stem cell-derived proteins that our bodies naturally produce to help regulate cell production and the division, maturation, and growth of the cells. What does that mean for you and your skincare? Well, this process in our bodies inevitably slows down as we age, causing wrinkles, discoloration, and other skin imperfections. In an effort to combat that decrease in production, we are utilizing growth factors in a unique, highly results-driven way! Our newly formulated StemFactor contains over 540 uniquely identified proteins and a higher concentration of growth factors that help kick those fine lines and wrinkles to the curb - with clinical evidence of its efficacy! This new formula contains 350% more protein than the next closest competitor! Talk about packing a punch!


Bonus features! As if this serum could be any more of a skin superhero, this new and improved formula also includes actual human stem cell-derived molecules of collagen, elastin, SOD (superoxide dismutase), fibronectin, and the feature ingredient, tropocollagen. All of these are components that our skin produces naturally, making it easy for the skin to recognize and regenerate these proteins back into the system. The micronized compounds making up this powerful serum do not contain any animal-derived collagen or highly processed ingredients. This is not only much safer for your skin and body, but will deliver significantly faster and more beneficial results on a much broader scale. Plus! All of these improvements have been implemented in addition to the classic exosome delivery strategy we all know and love in our StemFactor Serum. A win-win for us all!


The turbo-charged super serum demonstrates all of these incredible qualities that empower the skin for ultimate radiance and rejuvenation! Find out where to shop the new StemFactor here.

Osmosis Skincare: Chirally Correct - What Does it Mean and Why is it Important?




You've probably heard the term Chirally Correct thrown around in the skincare industry and chances are, you aren't quite sure what that actually means. Chiral (Ki-Rul) represents a biological molecule that is present in all human and animal molecules. Derived from the greek work Kheir, meaning hand, these molecules are sequenced as mirror images. Hold up your hands, palms up, and place them next to each other. They are a mirror image, BUT if you try to superimpose them onto each other (by placing on hand, on top of the other with palms up), they don't match up do they? So, using this analogy of hands and mirror images, what makes a product Chirally correct is the ability to utilize the "mirror" side of the molecule. Again, what does this mean?

A non-chiral product could be damaging or inefficient for your skincare needs. When you use a product with Chirally Correct ingredients, you are matching your skin with it's right or left hand mirror, if you will. Chiral products will work with your skin by utilizing it's mirror image, which means your skin benefits from all of the positive effects and misses out on any negative effects as they have been removed. Using a non Chirally Correct product could, in turn, cause irritation. With a non Chiral product you will still get the benefits of the ingredient, BUT because it still has the non chiral molecule, it could also cause a negative side effect.

We are proud to utilize Chirally Correct ingredients in all of our skincare products. This helps drive permanent results in treating all of your skincare concerns. It's quite kismet actually, that your skin and your skincare are able to work together in harmony, consider Osmosis your skin's Chirally Correct SOULMATE!

Thank you to all of our loyal customers for using and LOVING the benefits of Chirally Correct Skincare!
