Bioactive Totarol™
The defining force behind TWYG’s formulas — a rare natural compound extracted from the heartwood of fallen Tōtara trees, found only in New Zealand. Sustainably sourced through a closed-loop CO₂ process that leaves living trees untouched, Bioactive Totarol™ is a next-generation antioxidant proven to be 7 times more powerful than Vitamin E. Its unique molecular structure not only neutralises free radicals but also delivers potent anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory benefits, helping calm, clarify, and fortify the skin barrier. Clinically validated for its ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines, support collagen renewal, and defend against environmental stressors, Bioactive Totarol™ acts as both shield and catalyst — protecting skin from premature ageing while igniting its natural capacity to repair and renew. It’s nature’s most intelligent defence system, refined by biotech precision.
Key Ingredients
Niacinamide
Also known as Vitamin B3, Niacinamide is a well-researched ingredient that is beneficial for both acne-prone and mature skin types. Clinical studies have shown that at a 2% concentration, Niacinamide can reduce sebum production. For mature skin types, it helps to increase the production of ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids in the skin as well as reducing transepidermal water loss. It also acts to improve the surface structure of the skin helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pigments spots whilst increasing the elasticity of the skin. A clinically proven multi-corrective active, Niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier, refines texture, and improves clarity. With consistent use, skin becomes more even-toned, resilient, and refined.
- Improves uneven tone and dullness
- Refines texture and minimises pores
- Strengthens barrier function
- Balances sebum and soothes irritation
Neossance Squalane
Biotechnologically derived from renewable sugarcane, Neossance Squalane replicates the skin’s natural lipids to restore hydration and strengthen the barrier. Its ultra-light, bio-compatible structure absorbs instantly to replenish moisture without clogging pores. The result is skin that feels balanced, comforted, and perfectly conditioned.
- Deeply hydrates and softens
- Strengthens the lipid barrier
- Balances moisture for all skin types
- Absorbs quickly with a non-greasy finish
Hyaluronic Acid
A cornerstone of modern dermal science, Hyaluronic Acid binds up to 1,000× its weight in water, delivering multi-depth hydration that visibly plumps and smooths the skin. By restoring optimal moisture balance, it supports elasticity and reinforces the barrier for long-term resilience. The result is deeply hydrated, supple skin with renewed density and bounce.
- Provides multi-layer, long-lasting hydration
- Smooths fine lines and replenishes skin volume
- Strengthens the skin barrier to reduce water loss
- Leaves skin soft, supple, and visibly refreshed
Absolutely Amazing!
Absolutely Amazing!
I've had a flare up of Perioral Dermatitis for the past 5 months, and I tried absolutely everything that was available. But 3 weeks of using TWYG Hydration Cream in the mornings, my skin is clear to the point that I can wear makeup again.
