Kalon Tranexamic Acid Serum

The ancient Greek word kalon can be translated as the ideal of physical and moral beauty especially as conceived by the philosophers of classical Greece. I'd like to think of it as an abstract interpretation of what beauty is. In that vein, this serum which combines modern actives and traditional herbs is an amalgamation of my hope to help you give your definition of beauty back its power.

Tranexamic Acid

"The ingredient is known for its powerful brightening properties that are comparable to that of vitamin C. Specifically, it's celebrated for its ability to even out stubborn discoloration. As such, it's become incredibly popular amongst those living with melasma, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, or red-splotched complexions. With continued use, the intensity of such discoloration lessens and overall brightness improves."

Kojic Acid

"Kojic Acid is a naturally derived skincare ingredient that comes from the superfood mushrooms. It is excellent at fading hyperpigmentation and discoloration (aka dark spots). It works well on its own and when paired with other brightening ingredients. Plus, it also acts as an antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory properties."

Alpha Arbutin

"Alpha arbutin effectively lightens and reduces UV induced pigmentation and free radicals, without increasing sun sensitivity. It fades discoloration caused by inflammation and environmental stressors while evening skin tone. It also addresses glycation, sugar-induced skin sallowness and loss of elasticity."

Guava Extract

"The vitamin C in guava fruit makes it a powerful ingredient to counteract dark spots from sun exposure, post-acne marks, and beyond. Plus, it can do so for all skin tones and types, since vitamin C-rich guava doesn’t have the same safety concerns as other common brightening ingredients, such as hydroquinone. Guava is also packed with antioxidants like vitamin A, B, C and potassium, which help to combat and negate the effects of harmful free radicals in the environment that can cause damage and premature aging of the skin."

Pomegranate Seed Oil

"Pomegranate seed oil contains Omega 5 (punicic acid), Omega 9 (oleic acid), Omega 6 (linoleic acid), and palmitic acid, making it one of the frontrunners in anti-inflammatory skincare. Because the Omega 5 and phytosterols in pomegranate seed oil can also increase the production of collagen in the skin, it can actually slow and reduce the effects of ageing on the skin."

Punarnava (Boerhaavia diffusa)

"While the plant itself has a long history of use in ayurvedic practices and traditional medicine, less has been known about its proven topical benefits for skin until more recent years. Of note, studies show the root extract possesses skin-soothing properties and antioxidant capabilities. Boeravinone B, a component of Boerhaavia diffusa root extract, also shows promise for correcting the look of skin discolorations (i.e. hyperpigmentation and dark spots) for a more uniform complexion."

Red Sandalwood

"Red Sandalwood is renowned for its ability to enhance the complexion and promote a natural glow. Regular use helps brighten the skin, giving it a more radiant and youthful appearance. It helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots, promoting a more youthful and rejuvenated complexion. It also has cooling and soothing properties, making it beneficial for calming irritated and sensitive skin."

• Good To Know: Does not stain skin. Serums can be applied as part of your morning or evening routine. However, for those with oily skin, you can consider only applying this product during your evening regime. This will help to reduce excess oiliness throughout the day.
• Your Ritual: Dispense a pea-sized amount of serum into your palms, then lightly press onto the skin. Pat in outwards and upwards motions until fully applied to the face and neck. Once your serum has been absorbed, massage a moisturizer over the face and neck to lock in those key ingredients and hydrate the skin’s surface.
