Why we stand behind it
This serum was formulated around a more advanced vision of Vitamin C. Rather than relying on a single derivative, Maya Chia combines three distinct shelf-stable forms — Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, and Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate — each chosen for its distinct solubility, stability, and skin affinity. The first two work within the water phase to promote clarity and luminosity, while Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate brings enhanced lipid-phase delivery, creating a more complete brightening system than any single form alone.
Plant-derived Ferulic Acid Esters stabilize and amplify the complex while reinforcing the formula's antioxidant resilience — preserving potency and strengthening defense against daily environmental exposure.
The correction story continues with Tranexamic Acid and Niacinamide. Tranexamic Acid is backed by clinical evidence for helping reduce the appearance of melasma and hyperpigmentation, while Niacinamide helps brighten, refine the look of pores, and support barrier function. Together, they address uneven tone from multiple pathways for skin that looks clearer, more balanced, and more uniform over time.
A targeted layer of advanced botanicals completes the formula. Pomegranate Peptides deliver concentrated antioxidant and revitalizing support, helping defend against the visible effects of oxidative stress while promoting a more refreshed, firmer appearance in the short and longterm. Orange Blossom Stem Cells contribute a sophisticated brightening dimension, helping support a more even-looking tone and a luminous, refined complexion.
The result is a serum that feels unusually complete: a multi-dimensional treatment designed to brighten, correct, hydrate, and protect with precision.

What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.
