PEACHCALM (HD) for sensitive skin is a scalp-soothing active inspired by the natural healing mechanisms of peach trees. It helps reduce scalp sensitivity by regulating cell proliferation, metabolism, and inflammation associated with microbial imbalance (e.g., C. acnes). Its efficacy is rooted in the protective role of plant gums, which naturally limit the spread of bacterial and fungal pathogens in damaged tissues. By mimicking the gum/resin secreted by peach trees to heal and protect themselves, PEACHCALM reinforces scalp defense. Leveraging advanced High-Pressure Homogenization technology, it achieves improved bioavailability and heightened physiological activity, ensuring optimal performance and ease of use in modern formulations.

Viablife PHS, Phytosphingosine is a type of spingoid base, a component found in the lipid layer of the skin. It plays a role in maintaining the skin’s barrier function. Phytosphingosine contributes to the formation of the skin’s lipid barrier, which is essential for preventing water loss and protecting the skin from external irritants. A healthy barrier function is important for maintaining skin hydration. Phytosphingosine primarily functions as a humectant, antioxidant, and skin conditioner in cosmetics and skincare products. In skincare products, phytospingosine is often included to support the skin’s natural functions and enhance the barrier. It is a versatile ingredient with benefits for various skin types. Additionally, Phytosphingosine exhibits antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial in preventing and treating skin conditions such as acne.
