Combat Winter’s Chill with 3 Key Ingredients from Akott Evolution
Why Protecting Skin in Winter is Essential
Winter poses unique challenges to skin health. The drop in temperatures, combined with dry indoor heating, creates an environment where skin loses moisture faster than it can replenish. This loss weakens the skin’s natural barrier, leading to dryness, irritation, and a dull complexion.
The colder months also slow down skin cell turnover, exacerbating the accumulation of dead skin cells, which can make skin appear uneven and less radiant. Additionally, exposure to cold winds and fluctuating temperatures between outdoor chill and indoor warmth can compromise skin’s elasticity and cause redness or sensitivity.
For formulators, addressing these issues is crucial. Effective winter skincare needs to go beyond temporary solutions by protecting, nourishing, and restoring skin at a deeper level. Enter Akott‘s lineup of innovative ingredients: Akoactive™ Queen, Akomplex™ Moist, and Akojoy™ Daruma—each designed to tackle winter’s most pressing skincare challenges.
► Akoactive™ Queen—The Royal Hydration Boost
Winter can drain skin of its vitality, but Akoactive™ Queen, derived from the Tudor Rose, offers regal protection. This ingredient is rich in polyphenols and carbohydrates, providing both immediate and long-term hydration.
Why It Matters:
- Hydration is the foundation of winter skincare, as it prevents the skin barrier from becoming brittle and prone to irritation.
- Akoactive™ Queen enhances natural moisture retention, helping skin stay plump and radiant even in harsh conditions.
- Clinical studies reveal measurable improvements in hydration levels (+19%) and reductions in signs of fatigue, such as eye bags and dark circles, within 28 days.
► Akomplex™ Moist—Herbal Relief for Dry, Irritated Skin
For skin that feels tight and uncomfortable during the winter, Akomplex™ Moist offers a soothing botanical solution. Derived from Fenugreek and Consolida Major extracts, this ingredient addresses the root causes of winter dryness.
Why It Matters:
- Winter-induced dryness often leads to inflammation, exacerbating irritation. The synergistic herbal blend in Akomplex™ Moist provides deep hydration and calms inflamed skin.
- Its versatility makes it ideal for a wide range of formulations, from daily moisturizers to rich winter creams.
► Akojoy™ Daruma—Lightweight Hydration with a Silky Finish
When winter skin feels heavy or greasy from thick formulations, Akojoy™ Daruma provides an elegant alternative. This oil blend combines Dragon Fruit, Passion Fruit, and Desert Date Oils to hydrate without leaving a sticky or oily residue.
Why It Matters:
- Even in winter, lightweight hydration is crucial for layering under makeup or sunscreen.
- The non-greasy finish of Akojoy™ Daruma ensures skin stays nourished without compromising its natural balance, offering a silky, radiant look.
