The Science
Micro Glow is a Facial Hydration Mist built around liposomal delivery. Seven ingredients, three of them encapsulated actives. Here's what that means and why we made those choices.
A liposome is a microscopic bubble with a wall made of the same kind of fat-based molecules that make up skin's own surface layers. An active ingredient sits inside that bubble instead of floating loose in water.
Two things follow. First, the active is protected — several of the most useful cosmetic ingredients degrade quickly when exposed to water, light, or air. Second, because the liposome wall is chemically similar to skin's own lipids, encapsulated ingredients tend to spread and absorb more comfortably than the same ingredient applied unencapsulated.
That combination is what lets a product as light as a mist do more than sit on the surface. It is a delivery choice, not a stronger dose.
Each one was chosen for a specific, visible outcome — and each is encapsulated for the same reason.
Brightening appearance
Glutathione is a well-known antioxidant in cosmetic chemistry, but it is a fragile molecule. Encapsulating it in a liposome shields it inside the bottle and helps it stay where it is applied, supporting a brighter-looking, more even complexion over time.
Gentle retinol alternative
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived ingredient often chosen instead of retinol by people whose skin finds retinol uncomfortable. In a light mist it delivers a small, even dose that supports a smoother, more youthful appearance without the sting or peeling associated with stronger treatments.
De-puffing and refreshing
Caffeine is used cosmetically for its refreshing, visibly de-puffing feel. Liposomal encapsulation keeps the dose gentle and evenly distributed across the skin instead of concentrated in one spot.
Seven ingredients, each with a job. Nothing in the bottle is there for texture, colour, or shelf appeal alone.
The carrier. A light, fast-drying base that lets the mist sit as fine droplets instead of a wet film.
Aloe vera polysaccharides for hydration and a soft, comfortable finish once the mist settles.
Glutathione, bakuchiol, and caffeine — each encapsulated so a light mist still carries them evenly.
A calming aroma. Chosen for the moment of use, not as an active ingredient.
A natural preservative system that keeps a water-based formula safe over its shelf life.
Micro Glow is a cosmetic product, not a drug. It is made to hydrate, refresh, soothe, and help skin look brighter and less puffy. It is not made to treat, cure, or prevent any condition, and we don't describe it that way.
We also don't publish numbers we can't stand behind. There are no percentage claims on the actives, no clinical-trial language, and no before-and-after promises. What we can tell you is exactly what is in the bottle, why each ingredient is there, and how the delivery system works.
Patch-test before first full use. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing a skin condition, check with your doctor before adding any new product to your routine.
