GRAYDON SKINCARE ANNOUNCES GROUNDBREAKING EFFICACY DATA FOR TORULA OIL, A KEY INGREDIENT IN MOON BOOST SERUM

The award-winning Canadian brand highlights new 2026 research validating the superior antioxidant and barrier-reinforcing benefits of its multivitamin oil serum designed for sensitive skin.

TORONTO, ON — Graydon Skincare today announced new comprehensive data validating the high-performance efficacy of Torula Oil, a key ingredient in Moon Boost, its brightening multivitamin oil serum powered by Palmless™ Torula Oil. Designed for sensitive, reactive, and aging skin, Moon Boost utilizes this revolutionary, fermentation-derived biotech ingredient to deliver unmatched free-radical scavenging, deep moisturization, and barrier reinforcement in a single formulation. The newly released 2026 efficacy package from C16 Biosciences confirms that the serum's core ingredient bridges the gap between a high-performance active and a multifunctional emollient, advancing the brand's commitment to clinically proven, bio-engineered skincare solutions.

Formulated to support skin health and encourage aging better at every stage, Moon Boost leverages biotechnology to replace essential lipids lost over time. Recent standardized in vitro DPPH testing conducted in May 2026 revealed that Torula Oil outperformed benchmark antioxidants—including Vitamin C, astaxanthin, lycopene, and beta-carotene—in free-radical scavenging. With a fatty-acid profile that closely mirrors human sebum, this sustainable alternative to palm oil works to fortify the skin barrier, prevent transepidermal water loss, and improve skin elasticity without relying on heavy or greasy textures.

Key Ingredients & Formula Highlights

• Palmless™ Torula Oil: A bio-designed, fermentation-derived emollient that offers biomimetic sebum compatibility with 31.4% palmitic acid and 10.2% oleic acid, providing superior antioxidant protection and barrier reinforcement.

• Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C): A highly stable, sensitive-skin-friendly form of Vitamin C that visibly brightens uneven pigmentation and supports skin firmness without causing irritation.

• Squalene and Biobased Sterols: Naturally occurring compounds within Torula Oil that soothe the skin, prevent transepidermal water loss, and lock in essential moisture for a healthy skin barrier.

"This is what the next generation of consumers demands: workhorse ingredients that are clean, natural, and perform on many dimensions simultaneously," said Shara Ticku, Founder and CEO of C16 Biosciences. "Biotechnology isn't just a better way to make things -- it's the best way to make ingredients that do more work for your skin and less work on the planet."

Usage & Compatibility

Moon Boost is expertly formulated for all skin types, especially those with sensitive, reactive, and mature skin profiles. The velvety, non-greasy oil serum is designed to be applied to damp skin after cleansing and toning. Users are encouraged to sweep two to four drops over the face, neck, and décolleté before sealing it in with their preferred Graydon moisturizer.

Thanks to Torula Oil's enhanced oil absorption properties, Moon Boost leaves a lightweight, deeply moisturized finish that sits flawlessly under makeup. It pairs seamlessly with other Graydon Skincare staples—such as the water-based Supermoon Serum or Face Food Mineral Mist—to simplify daily routines while delivering a powerful balance of efficacy and gentleness.

Availability

Moon Boost is available for purchase via the official Graydon Skincare website and select beauty retail partners nationwide.
