What’s in my products? A nifty ingredient glossary for commonly used skincare elements.

Are you often confused by the big words listed in the ingredient decks of your favorite products? Or maybe you recognize them but wonder what benefits they are to your skin. Over on the Cult of Reason website I made a whole page of the ingredients in CoR products so you can nerd out and learn a bit about what makes the products so effective. These ingredients were curated by me and are a culmination of my twenty-plus years of skincare experience and research. Some ingredients are tried and true, used in effective preparations for years, while others are cutting edge lab-made goodies designed to be stable within the formula. And while you’re there, navigate over to the blog for deep dives into the science of skincare. Happy nerding!

The Bohr Effect -- Glo2 Facials in depth

The Bohr Effect in Action

Increased levels of CO2 on the surface of the skin will send signals to the body to send oxygen rich blood to the affected area. “The Bohr Effect causes the muscles and tissues to release more oxygen when CO2 levels rise. This helps deliver oxygen to metabolizing tissue. This process is important because it enhances delivery of oxygen to the muscles and tissues where metabolism is occurring, and carbon dioxide is being produced, delivering oxygen where it is most needed.”
