African Botanics Nutritive Molecule Serum is an antioxidant-rich magical potion that combines the highest quality natural ingredients with advanced biotechnology in order to protect the skin against free-radical damage, to improve the texture of the skin,  to lighten dark spots, to help prevent the onset of environmentally induced wrinkles and sun damage, and to brighten the complexion.

Unlike the many Vitamin C-based serums that have flooded the market in the last few years, African Botanics Nutritive Molecule Serum is a brilliantly conceived blend of three different highly stable, and oil soluble, forms of Vitamin C: Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Ascorbyl Methylsilanol Pectinate. Its oil solubility is an imperative part of its potent delivery system that enables it to work in conjunction with the Baobab, Marula, Kalahari Melon, Wheat Germ,  Jojoba and Sunflower Seed oils.

The lightweight texture is fast absorbing, it leaves behind no oily residue, it leaves skin immediately brightened and hydrated, and it has a light aroma from which one can detect a hint of the Baobab and Marula oils.

That this is the perfect serum to transition into a fall skincare routine, to mitigate the effects that the summer may have imposed upon the skin, is a rather obvious choice.

According to African Botanics,

An extremely rejuvenating serum that incorporates a superior complex of antioxidants and advanced biotechnology to supplement and protect skin against the main types of free radicals: oxygen, carbon and nitrogen while improving skin’s texture, brightening and providing a strong protective barrier against pollution and cellular damage. Infuses skin with 3 types of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Ferulic Acid, Tannic Acid, Niacinamide, Superoxide Dismutase, Resveratrol, Green Coffee and Yeast to accelerate antioxidant activity. These potent antioxidants help prevent wrinkles, sun damage and fade dark spots. This lightweight serum is enriched with botanical peptides and moisture barrier enhancers. It replenishes and retains an abundance of moisture on multiple levels while delivering advanced antioxidants with anti-inflammatory molecules to protect the skin from damage due to age, urban pollution, UV exposure, stress and dryness.

Key Ingredients and Their Attributes:

Advanced Antioxidant Content Helps Shield the Complexion: Infuses skin with 3 types of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Ferulic Acid, Tannic Acid (naturally occurring plant polyphenol), Niacinamide, Superoxide Dismutase, Resveratrol, Green Coffee and Yeast to accelerate antioxidant activity. These potent antioxidants help prevent wrinkles, sun damage and fade dark spots.

3 Types Of Highly Stable & Oil-Soluble Forms of Vitamin C: Nutritive Molecule Serum is infused with highly stable forms of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant, helps fade discoloration, encourages collagen production, protects against free radical damage and helps diminish the appearance of wrinkles.

• Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate ( THD Ascorbate) - most stable and non-acidic form of Vitamin C. This oil-soluble form of Vitamin C can penetrate the lipid bilayer of the skin. The problem with most topical forms of vitamin C is they’re water soluble and can’t make it through the lipid-rich skin barrier to reach the dermis of skin where they could have maximal benefits. THD Ascorbate is able to successfully penetrate the epidermis and move to the layer underneath called the dermis. It’s in the dermis that collagen, a protein that gives skin its youthful firmness and ability to resist wrinkles, is made. The antioxidant action of THD Ascorbate is 80 times longer than Ascorbic Acid.

• Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is one of the most stable forms of Vitamin C. Helps protect skin from sun damage and boost UVA protection. E ective in treating acne and lightening the skin.

• Ascorbyl Methylsilanol Pectinate is considered stable and won’t lose it’s effectiveness or irritate sensitive skin like other forms can.

High-Performing Molecular Science and Supercharged Skin Nutrition: This potent and lightweight serum is is enriched with botanical peptides and moisture barrier enhancers. It replenishes and retains an abundance of moisture on multiple levels while delivering advanced antioxidants with anti-inflammatory molecules to protect the skin from damage due to age, urban pollution, UV exposure, stress and dryness.

• Boosts cell renewal and collagen production with nutrient-rich Sea Kelp and mineral-rich Marine Green Algae.

• Improves the skin's overall texture and appearance. Relaxes the look of fine lines, providing skin with structure and firmness.

• Provides a lifting e ect with a powerful combination of anti-wrinkle peptides, restructuring oligosaccharides from “Blue Agave” and botanical collagen booster derived from the leaf sap of the South African medical plant “Bulbine Frutescens”* which help further correct skin’s microrelief, tone, plump and smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

• Bulbine Frutescens - Activates the production of high quality collagen, suppresses inflammation, prevents collagen breakdown and inhibits formation of low quality collagen.

• Plumps and deeply penetrates the skin for intense hydration with Sodium Hyaluronate while preventing moisture loss.

• Decreases redness, inflammation and calms the skin with intense doses of anti-inflammatory botanicals - Resurrection Plant, Immortelle, Centella, Arnica, Aloe Ferox, Calendula, Hibiscus and Azelaic acid.

• Our proprietary Distinct African Oil Complex and African Bush and Desert plants help regenerate and replenish the skin with polyphenols, amino acids, omegas, plant ceramides and lipids.
