Professional Line · NanoSerums

Vegalab's Hydrating NanoSerum uses ceramide/ectoin liposomes to replenish moisture in dry, dehydrated-feeling skin. The formula features lamellar liposomes that mimic skin's own lipid structure, loaded with ectoin, ceramides, and NAD⁺. These nanocapsules carry moisturizing ingredients into the stratum corneum, where they help reinforce the look of a smooth, supple surface. The result is hydration that goes beyond a surface coating, with twice-weekly use.

Key benefits

Long-lasting-feeling moisture between treatments.
Helps reduce visible moisture loss.
Visible improvement in plumpness, suppleness, and dewy texture.
Helps soothe the look and feel of dry, tight skin.
No ethyl alcohol, and no harsh surfactants · supports sensitive, compromised skin.

Key actives

Ectoin · "Ceratoin" Complex (20%)

A natural extremolyte that attracts and retains water molecules around skin cells. Helps increase skin moisture, soothe the look of irritation, and support barrier function. Acts as a moisture magnet providing both immediate and long-term hydration.

Ceramides (in Liposome)

Essential skin lipids comprising approximately 50% of the protective barrier. These lamellar liposomes help seal in moisture and reduce the look of dryness.

Sodium PCA

A natural moisturizing factor (NMF) component naturally found in skin. This hygroscopic molecule grabs water from the environment and binds it within the stratum corneum, functioning as a moisture reservoir throughout the day - especially effective in low-humidity environments.

NAD⁺

Supports the look of a comfortable, resilient barrier and a refreshed, healthy-looking complexion.
