Consortia Factors® (UCFX-F™ — CFx-rich) → ReGlow Primer

INCI: Ustilago Cynodontis Ferment (UCFX-F™)

Evidence: Strong (ingredient study)

What it is

Our patented hero technology, created by co-culturing yeast (Ustilago cynodontis) with flax (Linum usitatissimum) plant stem cells. The result is a natural consortia factor system that delivers exosomes, peptides, and beneficial metabolites that support antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

How it works

Its consortia factors, composed of exosomes, peptides, and signaling metabolites, help activate skin's renewal pathways; biomimetic lipids reinforce the barrier; and concentrated antioxidants (including vitamin C) neutralize free radicals and inflammation. Because the co-culture produces compounds neither parent cell makes alone, its antioxidant defense is measurably more potent than single-source ferments.

Gluconolactone

INCI: Gluconolactone

Evidence: Established (class)

What it is

A gentle polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that also acts as a humectant and antioxidant.

How it works

It offers mild, non-irritating refinement, gently smoothing the look of texture while drawing in moisture and supporting a calm, balanced, even-looking surface. Its gentleness suits sensitive and dry-prone skin, from the face to the body's toughest dry zones.

Radiance Hydration Base

INCI: Propanediol · Glycerin · Water

Evidence: Established (class)

What it is

A lightweight humectant base that smooths, hydrates, and awakens the complexion with a soft, lasting glow.

How it works

Propanediol and glycerin infuse moisture and blur the look of texture, creating a luminous finish worn under makeup or alone.
