Six Million Years in the Making
Ignae is born from the volcanic eruptions that created the Azores
In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean lie 9 volcanic islands. These are Ignae's natural laboratory. To explore them is to be transported back in time, amongst giant pre-historic fern trees and an abundance of verdant nature with steaming calderas. The fertility of the volcanic soil, combined with abundance of thermal water sources allow the Azores to have a rich, luxuriant vegetation.
The 9 volcanic islands is where Ignae conducts its R&D — from deep-ocean and open-sea marine research to examining local botanicals in the rainforests — it's passion is to discover new ways to transform nature's goodness to formulate high performance clean and vegan skincare.
EPC FACTOR
The Future of Skincare
Products are powered by Ignae's EPC Factor® which are liposomes with a nano structure that can slip beyond the surface of the skin with minimal resistance, and are a major breakthrough in skincare.
A nanometer = 1 billionth of a meter — to put this into perspective, a human hair is about 80,000 nanometers wide.
Nanosomes are unique because they're designed with a water based head and and oil based tail. The water based head allows it to be accepted by the skin, while the oily tail propels it all the way to the deepest layers of the dermis. This is why textures are light and have a liquid feel, as heavier textures impede nanosomal penetration. This also makes the products suitable for all skin types.
