What makes Firm different from other peptide serums?
For far too long, mainstream skincare products have been formulated around keeping costs low, extending shelf life and focusing on sensory pleasers like fragrance and colors. In addition, most skincare formulas are 60-80% water, which means they require emulsifiers, thickeners and often harsh preservatives to keep them shelf stable. Made with low quality ingredients, the resulting products are not only less effective, but are often filled with questionable ingredients with no direct skin benefits; like light reflectors (aka glitter), fragrance and synthetic colorants to make your cream purple or blue. Cheap fillers, artificial fragrance and colorants have no place on our skin.
At Root Science, we’re challenging the status quo by prioritizing purity, quality and efficacy above all. Our anhydrous formulas (free from water) means no harsh preservatives, emulsifiers, fillers, solvents or questionable ingredients (your skin’s microbiome will thank you). Instead, our formulas are powered by skin-loving ingredients such as organic botanical oils, science-backed botanical extracts and clinically proven cosmetic ingredients.
