The Nourishing Hydrating Set is a low-density bio microneedling system formulated to support barrier recovery and improve the penetration of hydrating actives in skin presenting with chronic dehydration, sensitivity, or compromised barrier function. It uses a gentle concentration of one million hydrolysed sponge spicules to create micro-channels that support the delivery of Myrothamnus flabellifolia extract and fibronectin into the deeper epidermal layers, improving their bioavailability compared to surface application alone. This liquid microneedling approach is designed to support inside-out renewal without the inflammatory burden of conventional resurfacing, making it suitable for sensitive, rosacea-prone, or compromised skin profiles where standard professional treatments such as lasers or injectables are not appropriate.
Nourishing Hydrating Set
Description
The Nourishing Hydrating Set uses a lower-density concentration of purified silica spicules than other sets in the SQT range, delivering a gentle mechanical signal rather than a high-density resurfacing stimulus. This reduced spicule count is a deliberate formulation decision for sensitive and compromised skin profiles, where the goal is barrier support and active delivery rather than intensive cellular turnover. The micro-channels created by the spicule application improve the penetration of hydrating actives into the deeper epidermal layers, supporting improved moisture retention and an inside-out renewal process that focuses on barrier recovery rather than surface correction.
The formulation centres on Myrothamnus flabellifolia, an extract derived from a resurrection plant with documented water-retention properties and a role in supporting aquaporin function within the skin. Aquaporins are the protein channels through which water moves across cell membranes, and supporting their function is a meaningful approach to improving internal hydration rather than simply occluding the surface. Fibronectin supports cellular adhesion and repair during the renewal phase. The formulation also incorporates a lipid complex described by the brand as bionic sebum technology, which is designed to mimic the skin’s natural lipid profile and support the integrity of the barrier during and after treatment.
