PLUNGE
Cooling Hydration Mask
WHITE PAPER
OVERVIEW
Plunge is a cooling hydration mask inspired by the restorative effects of cold-water immersion. Developed to replenish moisture while supporting skin comfort and resilience, the formula combines aqueous botanicals with advanced bioadaptive technology to create a comprehensive hydration treatment suitable for both professional and home use.
The formula centers around two primary concepts: hydration and resilience.
Hydration is delivered through a concentrated blend of aqueous botanicals, humectants, and conditioning ingredients. Resilience is supported through ectoin, a bioadaptive active first identified in extremophile microorganisms.
THE SCIENCE OF PLUNGE
Extremophile microorganisms are remarkable forms of life capable of surviving in environments that challenge most living organisms. Found in highly saline lakes, arid deserts, geothermal regions, and other extreme ecosystems, these microorganisms have evolved specialized protective mechanisms that allow them to maintain hydration and structural integrity despite constant environmental stress.
One of these protective compounds is ectoin.
Ectoin is a naturally occurring bioadaptive active first identified in extremophile microorganisms and is recognized for its ability to support hydration, moisture balance, skin comfort, and resilience. In modern skincare formulations, ectoin has become a valued ingredient for helping skin maintain optimal hydration while supporting its response to daily environmental stressors.
Plunge combines ectoin with water-rich botanical ingredients, moisture-binding humectants, marine collagen, vegan PDRN, and skin-conditioning actives to create a formula that helps replenish hydration while supporting overall skin vitality.
AQUEOUS BOTANICAL HYDRATION COMPLEX
At the heart of the formula is a blend of cucumber hydrosol, dill hydrosol, spearmint hydrosol, parsley hydrosol, cucumber extract, and aloe.
These water-rich ingredients create a refreshing botanical foundation that helps replenish moisture while contributing to the mask’s distinctive cooling sensory experience.
Unlike masks that rely primarily on occlusive ingredients, Plunge emphasizes hydration through a combination of aqueous botanicals, humectants, and bioadaptive support ingredients.
MOISTURE-BINDING SUPPORT
Glycerin, Sodium PCA, and Hyaluronic Acid function as moisture-binding humectants that help attract and retain water within the skin.
These ingredients help support hydration, improve skin softness, and promote a smoother, more supple appearance.
CONDITIONING & SKIN COMFORT COMPLEX
Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen, Yogurt Extract, Shea Butter, Allantoin, and Bisabolol help condition the skin and support overall comfort.
Together, these ingredients contribute to a hydrated, refreshed, and revitalized appearance while helping improve skin feel.
NEXT-GENERATION BIOACTIVES
Ectoin and Vegan PDRN represent the formula’s advanced bioactive technology platform.
Combined with aqueous botanicals and moisture-binding ingredients, these actives help support hydration, resilience, and overall skin quality.
