Glossary of Terms

Antioxidant
A substance that prevents other materials from becoming "oxidized" and undergoing a chemical change. In the body, highly reactive substances called free radicals are constantly being produced. Free radicals can readily damage the body's own cells. In living tissues, antioxidants remove free radicals before they can damage normal tissues.
Botanical
A plant derived extract that may come from leaves, roots, fruits, berries, stems, barks, and flowers. Botanicals form the largest category of active ingredients in skin care products.
Ceramide
A fatty material that is found in the top layer of the skin. Ceramides play a major role in forming the skin barrier.
Collagen
The major protein in the skin. Loss of collagen leads to wrinkles, lines, and overall skin deterioration.
Elastin
A skin protein that gives the skin its property of “snapping back” into its original position when it is stretched or pinched.
Emollient
A substance that softens the skin or soothes skin irritation. Emollients reduce dryness, improve skin scaling, and give the skin a smooth soft texture. 
Humectant
A substance that has a skin moisturizing effect. Humectants increase the moisture level in the upper layers of the skin
Peptide
A peptide is best thought of as a very small protein molecule. In skin care, peptides are used to support the collagen matrix and to stimulate new collagen production. This in turn leads to a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles in the skin.

Skin Barrier Function
The skin barrier is responsible for maintaining proper skin hydration. The normal day-to-day exposure of the skin to hot water, detergents, trauma, extremes of weather, and other skin insults damages the skin barrier. This in turn leads to a loss of skin moisture and results in skin dryness. Repair of the skin barrier is necessary in order to maintain proper skin hydration.
Ultraviolet Light
That part of the light spectrum that has shorter wavelengths than visible light. Ultraviolet light is responsible for aging of the skin and for skin changes that can lead to many of the skin cancers that occur in sun exposed areas.
