Silicones in Skincare: A No-Go
Despite their widespread use, the High Performance Face Cream is completely silicone-free because silicones tend to be oil-free but lacking in penetrating moisture. Instead of traditional oils or silicones, our formulas rely on non-oil lipids for moisture. -
The Right Emollients Matter
For truly effective hydration, Dr. Macrene recommends:-
Sunflower extract as an emollient
-
Micro-encapsulated hyaluronic acid, which draws in water molecules and keeps the skin hydrated
-
This approach underscores a clean, minimalist skincare philosophy that avoids occlusive or synthetic additives. As a result, the formula stays gentle, effective, and skin-friendly—perfect for anyone seeking results without residue.
