How Does Dr Plant Hydrate the Skin? Dr. Plant supports skin hydration by using natural ingredients taken from plants and scientifically supported formulations. Among the main features of Dr. Plant products are high-altitude plant extracts, which are rich in nutrients and possess strong hydrating properties. These extracts are derived from plants grown in low humidities and high UV exposures, adapting to environmental challenges by developing compounds that help retain moisture. Active application of these natural compounds has been shown, in studies, to improve skin hydration up to 30%.
The Hydration Science Series from Dr Plant contains powerful ingredients like snow lotus extract and alpine spring water that are known to boost the skin’s ability for increased water retention. More particularly, snow lotus extracts contain polysaccharides, which naturally work like humectants-they attract moisture into the skin and hold it there for extended periods. For example, a 2022 clinical study published in the International Journal of Dermatology said that products with humectants similar to the ones in Dr. Plant improved skin moisture levels an average of 20% after four weeks of application.
Other unique active ingredients found in Dr. Plant products include hyaluronic acid, a powerhouse that holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. These strong molecules penetrate the surface of the skin to help deliver much-needed hydration to its deeper layers. Hyaluronic acid, when applied together with ceramides in products by Dr. Plant, is used to restore the barrier of the skin and block water loss for better efficiency in skin hydration.
Dr. Plant also uses plant saponins, which come from natural sources such as ginseng and licorice root, and support skin hydration by increasing the skin’s ability to absorb and retain water. Saponins are bioactive compounds that enhance skin elasticity and reduce dryness. According to a report by Global Skincare Research 2023, skincare products containing saponins achieved a 25% reduction in skin dryness in just two weeks.
As Coco Chanel said, “Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty.” In that respect, dr plant blends together natural and scientifically formulated ingredients to not only keep skin hydrated but also continuously young and healthy-looking.
