Plant-based skincare with purposeful ingredients.

Bioactives that work with your skin, not against it.

Explore our glossary & get to know the bioactives* that make our results so impressive.

*Bioactive

In skincare, bioactive means ingredients that are natural or naturally derived. They are “active” in that they can stimulate human tissue biologically, to keep the skin naturally balanced & healthy. All Oria Skincare ingredients are bioactive, working with your skin.

Peptides

Naturally found in Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Marula oil, Baobab, Hibiscus & Sunflower oil, to name a few. Peptides are amino acid chains that occur naturally in the body, acting as building blocks for proteins in our skin (the most famous one being collagen). As we age our peptides decrease. You will find Peptides in most Oria Skincare products, to give your skin a plump & boost.

Ceramides

Grapeseed, Jojoba & Sunflower oil are natural ways to top up ceramides. These are a lipid (fat) that lives in the top layer of our skin, sealing the gaps between cells and keeping our skin hydrated & glowing. 50% of your skin’s composition is made up of ceramides, so when they’re lacking your skin will tell you about it.

Niacinamide

Also known as Vitamin B3, Niacinamide has a big list of natural benefits for your skin. The list includes: minimising pores, improving skin tone, softening lines, strengthening skin’s surface, soothing acne, & nourising your skin.  You’ll find Niacinaminde in Balancing Day Cream & Blemish Repair Mask.

Enzymes

Naturally exfoliating, enzymes are proteins that encourage the growth of new skin cells, clearing clogged pores & improving natural oil flow. These gentle exfoliators don’t disrupt your skin’s natural PH or moisture barriers. Find them in our Brightening Enzyme Polish especially in the Pineapple Extract.

Antioxidants

Plant-based protection for your skin, antioxidants are molecules that act to neutralise oxidative damage caused by free radicals (unstable atoms that can damage our cells) & environmental aggressors like pollution. These molecules also support anti-ageing, found in [products].

Zinc Oxide
