Improve Compatibility
Formulating with greater consideration for the environment in which skin functions.
An ingredient can be effective on paper and still be wrong for the environment in which it is being asked to work.
Skin is not simply a surface. Its outermost layers form a highly organised barrier, supported by lipids, water and an environment that is constantly responding to what we put on it.
For MĀERENE, compatibility begins there.
We consider not only what an ingredient can do, but how it sits within the formulation around it - its concentration, its supporting ingredients and the experience of the complete formula on skin.
This is also why Thalassoceuticals® sits at the heart of the Age-Well Collection. Rather than adding it as a token hero ingredient, we formulate around the bioferment itself, allowing it to form a substantial part of the environment we create.
The aim is not to make skin tolerate more.
It is to formulate with greater consideration for what skin is being asked to receive.
