Skincare Ingredients Explained

Updated: Jan 22, 2023

By Kristy Jones


Skin Joy products are Australian Made using natural, locally sourced ingredients that activate and nourish the skin. And there's a reason for it. As we age, our skin changes and requires different skincare products to keep it healthy. Understanding the ingredients in your skincare products is an important part of making sure you’re using products that are specifically formulated for your skin type and age. Here’s a quick breakdown of our favourite skin joy skincare ingredients.


Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that is often used to reduce redness and inflammation in the skin. It helps strengthen the epidermal barrier which prevents moisture from escaping from the surface of your skin while simultaneously protecting it from environmental pollutants like dirt and bacteria. Niacinamide can also help even out discolouration in the skin caused by sun spots or acne scars which makes it a great choice for those looking to brighten their complexion.


Hyaluronic Acid (HA)

Hyaluronic acid is a product that helps keep your skin hydrated and plump by drawing moisture from the environment into your skin cells. It works by forming a barrier on the surface of the skin which helps lock in moisture and reduce water loss. This makes it an ideal choice for those with dry or sensitive skin types as it can help keep them hydrated without irritating their skin. It is also great for reducing wrinkles and fine lines as it boosts collagen production in the skin.


Vitamin A

Vitamin A is an anti-ageing powerhouse that helps reduce wrinkles while brightening dull complexions due to its ability to stimulate cell turnover rates within the epidermis layer of our skin—the outermost layer responsible for our complexion's overall appearance & texture over time with consistent use & maintenance routine typically including vitamin A-rich treatments like serums & creams depending on our individual needs & desired results goals after consulting with skincare professional prior to beginning any new regimen if unsure about proper steps involved when introducing any new products into our skincare routine at home alone without guidance first before doing so following directions carefully especially when using exfoliating acidic formulas containing retinol since these types treatments require special caution most times when applying them due their potent active strength levels involved usually requiring buffering agent mixed into base formulas before applying directly onto freshly cleansed facial area unless specified otherwise per instructions listed on product labels themselves which should always be read thoroughly prior each application step performed


Marine Collagen

Marine collagen is the most potent form of collagen available on the market today. It helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, hydrate dry skin, and even out discolouration.

Derived from fish sources such as cod or salmon and helps to give your skin a plumper appearance by reducing wrinkles. It also helps with hydration by providing your skin with deep moisture which can help reduce dryness. Additionally, it provides anti-aging benefits by stimulating natural collagen production resulting in firmer looking skin over time.


Kakadu Plum

Originating from Australia's Northern Territory, Kakadu plum is a powerful antioxidant known to promote skin elasticity and regenerate skin cells. It is high in vitamin C content which helps protect your skin from environmental stressors as well as reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, it can help brighten dull skin tone and diminish dark spots resulting in a more youthful look.



Vitamin C

Vitamin C is one of the most important antioxidants when it comes to protecting your skin from environmental stressors such as pollution or sun damage as well as combating signs of aging like wrinkles or fine lines. It works by stimulating collagen production which keeps your complexion firm & plump while also helping to brighten up dull areas for a more even toned complexion overall! Additionally it can help reduce hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure or acne scars resulting in a brighter more youthful look over time.


Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil has become increasingly popular due to its ability to deeply moisturise without clogging pores making it perfect for those who have oily or combination complexions! Rich in vitamins & minerals that nourish & condition our skins surface layer jojoba oil helps keep our complexions smooth & hydrated all day long without feeling heavy or greasy afterwards



Vitamin E

Vitamin E is another incredibly beneficial antioxidant for the health of your complexion! Not only does it help protect against environmental aggressors but it also works hard at repairing existing damage such as pigmentation caused by sun exposure or acne marks left behind from breakouts! By actively working on repairing any existing damage on top of keeping our complexion hydrated & nourished this powerhouse ingredient really does pack a punch when used regularly.


Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil is well known for its antiseptic & anti-inflammatory properties making it perfect for those dealing with acne prone complexions! When applied directly onto affected areas tea tree oil can help calm inflammation while disinfecting pores preventing further breakouts from occurring again anytime soon! It's also great at minimising redness left behind after breakouts have healed making sure any lingering marks don't stay around too long either leaving you with clearer healthier looking skin all year round.
