Maya Chia pioneered the pressed serum category, and The Super Blend remains its most refined expression. The formula sinks in immediately on contact — with every hero ingredient backed by a named study or independent clinical data. Clinically grounded from the first drop.<br><br>
Two clinically studied firming actives anchor this formula. Sweet Lupine Seed Extract, from family-farmed lupin in France, helps support Heat Shock Protein 47 — the cellular signal tied to Collagen I synthesis. In a 12-week study of volunteers aged 45 to 69, 92% reported visibly firmer skin and 72% saw improvement in facial contour sagging.<br><br>
It works alongside Sepilift DPHP (Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline), a lipophilic hydroxyproline biovector well suited to an anhydrous system. Its three-part action helps encourage collagen fiber contraction, protect dermal tissue from enzymatic breakdown, and deliver antioxidant support. At 1%, it improved the appearance of wrinkles by 32% versus placebo over six weeks.<br><br>
The serum's luminous amber hue comes from Astaxanthin, a rare microalgae-derived carotenoid with antioxidant strength reported at up to 65 times that of Vitamin C. It's paired with Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a next-generation, oil-soluble Vitamin C ester chosen for its stability and affinity for the skin's lipid barrier. Together they help brighten, defend, and restore a more luminous complexion.<br><br>
Coenzyme Q10 completes the formula, supporting cellular energy synthesis and helping reduce the appearance of visible wrinkle depth.
