If it isn't already on your radar, it’s time to get friendly with Youth To The People’s newest launch: Superfood Skin Drip Smooth + Glow Barrier Serum. A clinically-tested, performance-driven formulation with a delightfully milky texture and a light green hue (a natural occurrence thanks to all the chlorophyll-rich, cold-pressed leafy and cruciferous vegetables it contains), this serum delivers everything skin needs to repair and maintain a strong moisture barrier and a lit-from-within-glow.
“It’s like an IV drip for your skin, a quick way to strengthen the skin barrier and hydrate skin up to 10 surface layers deep, ” explains Laura Cline, YTTP’s VP of New Product Development. But how exactly does it do it?
“When we formulate products, we think about superfoods AND science: how can they synergistically benefit each other and skin health to achieve our product goals? What’s the best, newest source of antioxidants? Is there a more sustainable, more effective ingredient that we should be using? How can we use science to better test the function of various superfoods?”
In the case of Skin Drip Serum, says Cline, that means the inclusion of some potent new natural ingredients, along with some tried-and-true proprietary faves you’ll recognize from within the YTTP family.
Read on for its exhaustive list of ingredients and associated benefits.
Superfoods Blend
YTTP’s signature blend of cold-pressed greens, including kale, spinach, green tea, and alfalfa. Packed with antioxidants and filled with vitamins C, K, and E to help calm, soothe, and protect against environmental damage. To know it is to love it.
Dandelion Root
Clinically-tested to help even skin tone, dandelion root makes its YTTP debut in Skin Drip. A powerhouse anti-inflammatory antioxidant, it brightens as it strengthens the moisture barrier.
Niacinamide Much-loved and much-hyped for good reason, niacinamide amplifies dandelion root’s brightening effects, alongside delivering hydrating barrier support and B3 vitamins. It also helps balance skin and decrease the appearance of enlarged pores.
Postbiotic Ferment
Deep seawater microorganisms help nourish the microbiome while improving barrier function and smoothing skin surface. This particular ingredient is especially beneficial for those with dry, sensitive, or acne-prone skin.
Ceramides
Crucial to maintaining skin health, ceramides are found in a multitude of cells in the body. Skin Drip utilizes the power of vegan ceramides to lock in moisture and provide integral structure to the moisture barrier, filling in the gaps of a compromised one–just like a multivitamin might help round out nutritional gaps in a diet.
L-Carnosine Peptide
Composed of two naturally occurring amino acids linked together (beta-alanine and histidine), this peptide aids overall glow due to its antioxidant properties and ability to protect skin from oxidative stress. Peptides are also loved for their firming, plumping nature.
Broccoli Seed Oil
Broccoli seed oil may sound unassuming, but this vegetal wonder is a natural alternative to silicone–a synthetic polymer used to give products a silky feel. Smoothing and softening, it’s a more sustainable option than silicone and also comes with additional skin-loving benefits, like antioxidants, vitamins C, A, and K, and omega-6 fatty acids to help boost glow and barrier function.
