What is Biophytex and why is it the star ingredient of this skin mist?

With the tropical climate in the Philippines, a common skincare dilemma of most people living in the country is dehydrated skin, which is caused by overexposure to the sun.

With this in mind, many people resort to finding a product that would regularly help bring out the skin's natural moisture.

A lot of ingredients have already been introduced in the Philippine market, including Niacinamide and Green Caviar, but there's another ingredient that is being put in the spotlight, which claims to boost skin hydration. Let us introduce you to Biophytex.

Biophytex LS 9832 is a botanical complex that claims to combat skin fatigue by minimizing skin sensitivity and providing a soothing effect.

It has two important components. First is Propanediol, an ingredient that increases the absorption of hydrating ingredients. The second is Panthenol, commonly known as Pro-Vitamin B5, which claims to boost hydration and reduce skin redness.

Homegrown beauty brand Issy & Co. is one of the first few brands in the Philippines which incorporates Biophytex LS 9832 in its newest face mist, the Phyto-Complex Skin Mist (P499/50ml).

Given the potent formulation backed up by science, the Phyto-Complex Skin Mist is a 2-in-1 product that you can use as skin prep for the bare face before putting on makeup and at the same time as a refresher for the face to boost hydration throughout the day.

Aside from Propanediol and Panthenol, Biophytex LS 9832 also boasts Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extract, Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein, and Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, all working together to address your dry skin woes.
