MALASSEZIN

Mal•uh•say•zin
The discovery of Malassezin’s skincare benefits started with our hypothesis that this naturally occurring molecule found on skin might be effective for dark spots, but that was just the beginning of what we uncovered in our research.

Over six years, our founders and a team of scientists conducted extensive research, revealing that Malassezin dramatically reduces the appearance of dark spots, and also delivers powerful results for smoothing skin texture, minimizing the look of lines and wrinkles, supporting the skin barrier and protecting against free radical damage.

POWER OF MALASSEZIN

10X MORE POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT THAN VITAMIN C

10x more powerful at protecting against free radical damage, one of the top causes of skin aging, leaving skin brightened with even tone.

VISIBLY FADES HYPERPIGMENTATION IN THREE WAYS

In extensive lab testing and two clinical trials, Malassezin produced a significant reduction in the appearance of dark spots, sun spots, and other types of discoloration.

SMOOTHS AWAY FINE LINES AND WRINKLES

Decreases the breakdown of proteins in the skin to minimize fine lines and wrinkles and smooth the skin texture.

SUPPORTS THE SKIN BARRIER

Strengthens and calms the skin barrier enabling powerful benefits without irritation
