Ayuna Nectar 50ml

Description
Serum-cream with living stone stem cells and astaxanthin
Healthy, radiant skin starts with sufficient vitamin D. Yet modern skin receives less and less of this essential vitamin: indoor living, screen time, and proper use of sun protection suppress natural synthesis in skin cells. The result is a dull complexion, weakened skin barrier, dryness, and reduced resilience — signs that become increasingly apparent over the years.
Ayuna Nectar is a serum-cream hybrid that works with a unique ingredient composition centered around Lithops pseudotruncatella, a succulent from the African desert also known as the "living stone." The stem cells of this plant are rich in exosomes — five billion per bottle — that support the skin's natural vitamin D synthesis, even without sunlight. Combined with astaxanthin, biotic ferments, and bio-sugars, it creates a neuroglow effect: a reflective glow indicating truly vital skin.
Benefits
- Stimulates natural vitamin D synthesis for healthy, radiant skin from within
- Intensively hydrates on multiple levels thanks to bio-sugars with hyaluronic acid-mimetic action
- Protects against oxidative stress with astaxanthin, an antioxidant 6,000 times stronger than vitamin C
- Strengthens the skin barrier and respects the microbiome with lactobacillus ferments
- Provides an immediate neuroglow effect: a smooth, dewy, and reflective skin quality
Active ingredients
Lithops pseudotruncatella stem cell extract: The heart of Nectar. This "living stone" survives in extreme desert conditions by optimally using light and water. An extract is obtained from the stem cells that is rich in plant exosomes — small cellular messengers at a concentration of 10⁸ per milliliter. These exosomes optimize the skin environment and promote vitamin D and lumisterol synthesis, even with limited sun exposure.
Astaxanthin: A keto-carotenoid antioxidant responsible for the characteristic salmon color of the formula and the pink color of flamingos, crabs, and salmon. Astaxanthin protects skin cells against oxidative stress, enhances elasticity, and improves skin firmness at the cellular level.
Bio-sugars (multimolecular biosaccharides): A combination of sugars with low, medium, and high molecular weight. These plant polymers mimic hyaluronic acid and penetrate various skin layers for deep hydration. They attract water, retain it in the skin, and immediately provide a plumping effect.
Sublimated cherry water: Concentrated water derived from cherries, rich in polyphenols and natural fruit acids. Enhances the antioxidant effect of the formula and contributes to the soft, dewy texture.
Lactobacillus ferment in coconut: A postbiotic ingredient that nourishes and strengthens the skin microbiota. This fermentation supports the skin's natural defense and contributes to recovery and balance in sensitive or fragile skin.
Beautifulness aromachological blend: A blend of more than 20 essential oils with citrus tops of lemon, grapefruit, mandarin, and orange, a floral heart, and a warm woody base of cedarwood, amyris, patchouli, and vetiver. This composition aromachologically contributes to the feeling of well-being during application.

Frequently asked questions
How does Nectar work on vitamin D levels in the skin?
The skin naturally produces vitamin D when exposed to UVB light. Nectar contains an extract from Lithops pseudotruncatella whose stem cells optimize the skin environment to improve light absorption. This allows the skin to produce vitamin D and lumisterol (a reserve molecule) more efficiently, even with limited sun exposure or when using sun protection.
Can I combine Nectar with other active ingredients like retinol?
Yes, Nectar works excellently as a barrier-strengthening step within a broader routine. Apply common active serums (such as retinol or vitamin C) first and finish with Nectar to restore and hydrate the skin. For sensitive skin, Nectar can actually improve tolerance to stronger actives.
What is the neuroglow effect?
Neuroglow is the term Ayuna uses for the visible radiance that appears when the skin is in optimal condition: hydrated, smooth, and with a mirror-like surface that reflects light directly. Clinical studies showed a 19.6% improvement in mirror-like glow after one week of use.
Why does Nectar have a salmon color?
The soft salmon color is caused by astaxanthin, a natural pigment produced by certain algae and responsible for the pink hues in salmon, lobster, and flamingos. This pigment is also one of the strongest antioxidants in the world and helps protect skin cells.
