How it works in skincare

In cosmetics the IonCharged Water Complex is created by passing purified water through a controlled ionisation process that gives the water molecules a temporary positive or negative charge. This charged state improves the solubility and penetration of other skincare ingredients, allowing actives to disperse more evenly across the skin or hair shaft. The result is a lighter, more elegant texture that still delivers effective levels of hydration without heaviness.

Key benefits

  • Enhances even dispersion of active ingredients
  • Improves skin hydration feel
  • Creates lighter, non-greasy textures
  • Helps formulas feel fresher on application
  • Supports smoother product absorption
  • Gives hair a softer, more manageable finish

Best for

all skin types, sensitive skin, oily skin, combination skin, dehydrated skin

Where it comes from

The base material is purified deionised water, which is then passed through a proprietary ionisation chamber. No plant, mineral or animal source is involved; it is a processed aqueous complex developed for cosmetic use.
