What Nykaa E retail limited Says
Product Description:
Multi-Antioxidant Radiance Serum is a daily serum combining a wide range of antioxidant and protective technologies to combat multiple concerns associated with environmental damage and visibly brighten dull skin. Multi-Active Radiance Serum works to combat environmental stressors, like pollution and smog, which can make skin look dull and prematurely aged. The formulation boosts radiance, while helping to fade visible dark spots and smooth the look of skin texture, all of which help to reduce the appearance of atmospheric skin aging. Multi-Antioxidant Radiance Serum combines a total of 8 technologies, including vitamin C and ginseng, and achieves a multi-faceted approach to antioxidant protection suited to use both in the day and at night. When used in the day, the serum-textured formulation helps shield against the damaging effects of pollution, while providing barrier strengthening and lasting hydrating for enhanced skin resilience. When used at night, it continues to offer antioxidant protection while skin is in its resting and repair stages, working to boost radiance for skin that is visibly more radiant during the day.

Ingredients Details
Ergothioneine
Common Name(s): Egt,thiohistidine betaine
CAS Number: 497-30-3
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides cellular-accumulating antioxidant protection with dedicated skin uptake transporter and exceptional singlet oxygen quenching.
Why It's Used: The only antioxidant with a dedicated skin cell uptake transporter โ ergothioneine's octn1 transport ensures active accumulation in keratinocytes unlike passive-diffusion antioxidants.
How It Works: Thione form provides singlet oxygen quenching (ksoq ~1.3ร10โธ mโปยนsโปยน). octn1 transporter actively accumulates ergothioneine intracellularly. stable in formulation and in vivo. anti-glycation and anti-carbonylation activity.
Typically Found In: Premium anti-aging serums,anti-pollution products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ antioxidant
Secondary Functions: Free radical scavenging,anti-aging
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%โ1%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from mushroom fermentation
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Plant-derived extract or synthetic.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; well-tolerated.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Vitamin c,vitamin e,ferulic acid,spf,other antioxidants
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Ergothioneine's octn1 transporter creates preferential accumulation in keratinocytes where uv-induced radical generation is greatest. this active cellular uptake mechanism provides intracellular ergothioneine concentrations 100โ1000ร above extracellular levels โ a concentration gradient impossible for passively-diffusing antioxidants to achieve.

Propanediol
Common Name(s): 1,3-propanediol,zemea,bio-propanediol
CAS Number: 504-63-2
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides humectant and solvent functionality from sustainable corn-based fermentation.
Why It's Used: Bio-based propylene glycol alternative from renewable corn โ propanediol provides equivalent functionality to propylene glycol with sustainable renewable feedstock and superior skin feel.
How It Works: Two oh groups provide humectant water binding. excellent solvent for fragrances, actives, and preservatives. mild antimicrobial from diol structure for preservative system boosting. renew corn fermentation origin (dupont zemea process). better skin feel than propylene glycol โ less sticky.
Typically Found In: Virtually all cosmetic categories as pg alternative
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ humectant
Secondary Functions: Tewl reduction,skin plumping
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ20%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from corn sugar fermentation
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetic or naturally derived. excellent aqueous solubility.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Propanediol's dupont tate & lyle bio products 'zemea' process ferments corn sugar to 1,3-propanediol using engineered e. coli โ one of the first commercially viable bio-fermentation routes to a cosmetic diol previously made only from petroleum. the renewable route produces chemically identical 1,3-propanediol while reducing carbon footprint by approximately 40% vs petrochemical synthesis.
