MOON BOOST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GRAYDON SKINCARE ELEVATES MOON BOOST SERUM WITH REVOLUTIONARY BIOTECH INGREDIENT, PALMLESS™ TORULA OIL
Pioneering the future of sustainable beauty, the brightening multivitamin serum now features a lab-designed, precision-fermented oil clinically proven to outperform traditional antioxidants.

TORONTO, ON — Graydon Skincare is proud to announce the integration of Palmless™ Torula Oil into its clinically proven Moon Boost Serum. Developed by New York-based C16 Biosciences, Torula Oil is a cutting-edge, bio-designed active ingredient that serves as a highly sustainable, potent alternative to traditional palm and plant-derived oils.
While Graydon Skincare has never used palm oil, the brand is deeply invested in advancing beauty industry sustainability. The mass harvesting of palm oil is responsible for widespread rainforest deforestation and nearly 2% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions. Torula Oil provides a "lab-natural" solution through a precision fermentation process—similar to brewing beer—that harnesses naturally occurring yeast to produce a luxurious, active-packed oil in less than seven days, completely bypassing land-intensive agriculture.

A New Benchmark for Efficacy and Clinical Data
The integration of Torula Oil aligns with newly released comprehensive efficacy data from Palmless™, cementing the ingredient as beauty's new "super ingredient."
Recent in vitro DPPH testing revealed that Torula Oil outperforms Vitamin C, lycopene, beta-carotene, and astaxanthin in free radical scavenging. Additionally, it features a fatty acid profile highly comparable to human sebum—including 31.4% palmitic acid and 10.2% oleic acid—allowing for exceptional biocompatibility and skin barrier reinforcement.
“When we launched torula oil, we knew it was a luxurious emollient with a compelling biotech provenance story,” said Shara Ticku, Founder and CEO of C16 Biosciences. “The data demonstrates this is much more than a beautiful oil. Torula oil represents something the industry hasn’t seen before: a single, fermentation-derived ingredient that functions as an emollient, antioxidant active, barrier reinforcer, and sensory enhancer, all at once, all with data behind it.”

Moon Boost Serum: High-Performance Multivitamin Skincare
By incorporating Torula Oil into Moon Boost Serum, Graydon Skincare ensures that consumers do not have to sacrifice clinical results for sustainability. The lightweight, non-greasy formula acts as both a deeply nourishing emollient and a moisture-locking occlusive.

Key Benefits of the Reformulated Moon Boost Serum:

• Unrivaled Antioxidant Protection: Powered by fungal carotenoids—including the rare, vibrant orange torulene and beta-carotene (provitamin A)—to defend against oxidative damage, improve skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
  
• Advanced Skin Soothing: Contains ergosterol (provitamin D), an anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial compound found only in fungi, to soothe sensitive, reactive, and irritated skin.
  
• Barrier Replenishment: Rich in squalene and essential fatty acids (linoleic, palmitic, and stearic) that act as building blocks for ceramides to lock in hydration and maintain barrier integrity.
  
• Multivitamin Efficacy: Delivers a comprehensive blend of Vitamins A, C, E, D, F, and K to brighten uneven pigmentation, promote firmness, and leave the skin visibly plump and supple.
  

“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 for the planet,” added Ticku.
Moon Boost Serum, featuring Palmless™ Torula Oil, is available immediately on the official Graydon Skincare website and through select retail partners.
