KEY INGREDIENTS

CERAMIDES Lipid molecules within cell membranes, they help cells form a protective layer that plumps skin and retains moisture.

PLANKTON EXTRACT Restructures the skin matrix for improved barrier function.

SODIUM HYALURONATE Occurs naturally in skin, maintaining its moisture and elasticity. This large molecule can’t fully penetrate the skin’s outer layers to fill wrinkles, yet it’s a wonderful humectant, holding up to 1000x its own weight in water.

L-ARGININE is a component of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF) within the stratum corneum, where it helps reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and support barrier integrity.

SODIUM PCA A humectant found in human skin has high water absorbing properties, and the ability to absorb moisture from the air.

PHOSPHATIDYL SERINE Some studies show topical application slows wrinkling by inhibiting enzymes that break down collagen.

MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE May help alleviate dryness/inflammation in magnesium deficient skin by increasing elasticity and moisture.

ABOUT

Marie Veronique is a science-led skincare company grounded in a simple philosophy: tell the truth. They approach skin not as something to correct, but as a dynamic system to support.

Every product is formulated, developed, and tested in their lab using Good Lab Practices, then manufactured in-house under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Their formulations combine essential lipids, microbiome-supportive ingredients, and biomimetic peptides to support skin function from surface to depth, continually refined as science evolves.

Founded in Berkeley, California in 2002 by chemist and inventor Marie Veronique Nadeau, Marie Veronique began with a singular goal: to advance skin health through a deeper understanding of how skin functions. Marie’s ongoing work in research and formulation has shaped the brand into one of the industry’s most respected scientific voices, grounded in curiosity, rigor, and a long view of aging. In 2018, Kristina Holey began collaborating with the brand, joining full-time in 2021 as Director of Skin Health. With a background in science, esthetics, and holistic skin care, she expands their educational foundation and systems-based approach.
