Adaptogens are a category of ingredients that come from various plants and herbs like maca, ashwagandha, and mushrooms, and provide adaptive or customizable skin support by assisting with your body's natural defenses. They specifically are thought to support your body’s stress responses, internal and external (like changing seasons). For skin they provide many benefits including customized moisture, strengthened skin barrier and protection against oxidative stress. They have been used in Chinese medicine for centuries and are now being incorporated into modern skincare products.
