THD Vitamin C
EVERY INGREDIENT HAS A JOB. What's inside. What it does. Why it matters.
KEYSTONE Antioxidant Defense Moisturizer
THD ASCORBATE Stable Vitamin C
What It Is A stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C.
What It Does Neutralizes free radicals from UV and environmental exposure. Supports collagen synthesis and reduces oxidative damage over time.
Why We Chose It Standard Vitamin C degrades fast and irritates skin. THD Ascorbate penetrates deeper, stays stable, and works without the sting.
RESVERATROL Plant Antioxidant
What It Is A polyphenol antioxidant found in plant skins and seeds.
What It Does Amplifies Vitamin C activity and defends against oxidative stress at the cellular level.
Why We Chose It Works synergistically with THD Ascorbate — the combination is significantly more effective than either ingredient alone under field conditions.
CoQ10 Coenzyme Q10
What It Is A naturally occurring antioxidant produced by every cell in the body.
What It Does Supports cellular energy production in the skin and neutralizes oxidative damage at the mitochondrial level.
Why We Chose It Production declines with age and environmental stress — exactly the conditions our customers operate in. Topical CoQ10 replenishes what exposure depletes.
HYALURONIC ACID HA
What It Is A naturally occurring humectant found in connective tissue.
What It Does Draws moisture into the skin and holds it there under low-humidity and high-output conditions.
Why We Chose It Dehydration is the first thing that breaks down skin performance under exposure. HA addresses it at the source without adding weight or grease.
JOJOBA OIL Simmondsia Chinensis
What It Is A liquid wax ester structurally similar to the skin's natural sebum.
What It Does Seals the moisture barrier without clogging pores. Absorbs fast and leaves no residue.
Why We Chose It Most occlusive oils feel heavy under load. Jojoba behaves like skin — it locks in hydration while staying completely non-greasy.
HEADWATER Performance Enzyme Cleanser
PAPAIN Papaya Enzyme
What It Is A proteolytic enzyme derived from papaya.
What It Does Breaks down the protein bonds holding dead skin cells to the surface, clearing them without physical friction or abrasion.
Why We Chose It Mechanical exfoliation damages skin under stress. Enzymatic action does the same job without the irritation — cleaner results, zero inflammation risk.
BROMELAIN Pineapple Enzyme
What It Is A proteolytic enzyme complex extracted from pineapple stem.
What It Does Works alongside Papain to break down dead skin, sweat residue, and environmental debris. Also has natural anti-inflammatory properties.
Why We Chose It The Papain + Bromelain combination creates a broader enzymatic action than either ingredient alone. More complete clearance, faster reset.
ALOE VERA Aloe Barbadensis
What It Is A gel-forming plant extract with documented soothing and hydrating properties.
What It Does Calms irritation and delivers immediate hydration post-cleanse, offsetting the potential dryness of enzyme activity.
Why We Chose It Enzymatic cleansers can leave skin feeling stripped. Aloe counterbalances that — the skin finishes clean and comfortable, not tight.
ALLANTOIN
What It Is A naturally occurring compound found in plants including comfrey root.
What It Does Promotes skin cell renewal, soothes irritation, and supports barrier recovery after exposure to sweat, heat, and environmental stressors.
Why We Chose It The skin after a hard day needs to recover, not just get clean. Allantoin accelerates that recovery process so the barrier is ready for the next round.
