There’s no denying that it takes a combination of skincare, nutrition, hydration, and lifestyle choices to help you achieve gorgeously plump skin. We’ll stick to our area of expertise and focus on the natural skincare ingredients you can incorporate into your routine to help promote plump, youthful skin.

8 natural skin plumping ingredients

1. Hyaluronic acid

A humectant that holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, hyaluronic acid prevents your skin from losing moisture to evaporation. This natural ingredient works to deeply hydrate the skin, making it look fuller and plumper.

Product pick: Face Toner with Hyaluronic Acid.

2. Vitamin C

Brightening the skin and improving its overall tone and texture, vitamin C boosts collagen production, which helps firm and plump the skin over time.

Product pick: Organic Face Serum with Coffee Oil.

3. Peptides

Peptides are strings of amino acids which occur naturally in the body and act as the building blocks for proteins such as collagen. Peptides are also a highly elastic protein, so peptide-infused skincare can help to keep your skin plump and firm.

Product pick: Peptide Serum with Custard Apple + Blood Orange.

4. Collagen

Collagen is a protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin, and the most abundant protein in mammals. Collagen helps your skin retain its structure and improve skin elasticity. Preserving skin elasticity aids in minimizing the appearance of loose or sagging skin, keeping your skin supple, firm and plump.

Product pick: Vitamin E helps to stimulate collagen production, which can be found in our Cleansing Face Balm with Oat Oil.

5. Niacinamide

A great natural ingredient to enhance the skin barrier, niacinamide also improves skin elasticity and skin-plumping properties. This ingredient helps retain moisture, which is what gives the skin a plump, hydrated appearance.

Product pick: Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide.

6. Ceramides

Ceramides are a type of lipid – naturally-occurring organic compounds – which comprise around 50% of the skin’s outermost layer, the epidermis. Contributing to the skin’s natural barrier, ceramides lock moisture into the skin and prevent water from escaping from the skin through evaporation.

Product pick: Shea butter is a great source of natural ceramides, which can be found in our Herbal Blend Coffee Face Scrub.

7. Aloe vera

Rich in vitamins, enzymes, and amino acids that benefit your skin, aloe vera hydrates and soothes the skin, giving it a refreshed and plump appearance.

Product pick: Cleansing Face Milk with Oat Powder + Aloe Vera.

8. Rosehip oil

Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A and C, rosehip oil helps to hydrate, repair, and rejuvenate the skin. It boosts collagen production, improving skin texture and firmness.

Product pick: Floral Blend Coffee Face Scrub.
