Our Ingredients
At AspireLIFE™ we formulate each of our products with one thought in mind: How can we make the most effective, highest quality, affordable, and safest products for our customers? In terms of product quality, safety, and effectiveness, we do not compromise or waver.
The key to our product’s effectiveness is in the ingredients that we use. In our Essential Essence, for example, we use 15 of the highest quality active ingredients to provide the widest range of anti-aging benefit.

Plankton Extract
- Supplements DNA repair
- Anti-wrinkle
- Provides advanced sun protection
- Restores the DNA in skin cells
- Restores the skin’s immune system
- Slows the skin’s aging process


Studies have shown that our formulated Plankton Extract, suspended in Liposomes for stability and durability, penetrates into the epidermis and has the appropriate "residence time" in the skin cells to be effective. Our Plankton Extract actually penetrates into the cell nucleus.
Our patented delivery system ensures sun damage prevention and deep skin repair. This ingredient also uses visible light to reverse UV damage in a process called photoreactivation.
This ingredient is both safe and natural.

Vitamin C
- Anti-oxidant, inhibiting lipid peroxidation
- UV-A and UV-B protection
- Whitening, clarifying, inhibiting melanogenesis
- MMP Inhibitor
- Collagen synthesis and protection
- Provides DNA protection
- Anti-wrinkle


AspireLIFE™ uses the highest quality Vitamin C, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, for skin care applications. This ingredient clarifies, brightens and evens skin tone.
Laboratory data indicates this ingredient:
- Reduces melanin synthesis by 80% at only .1% usage
- Reduces Delta-L value by 15% vs. placebo at 3% (a measure of whitening effect)
- Increases collagen by 50% at only .1% usage
- Successfully treats acne in 80% of people at 10%
- Protects cells against UV-B better than the other esters of Vitamin C
Most Vitamin C is highly unstable, sensitive to oxidation, and gives finished formulas a yellowish tint. Our Vitamin C is not only stable, oil and water soluble, but also bio-available.
Our Vitamin C delivers and retains in the dermis and epidermis for maximum effectiveness. It also has excellent penetration into keratinocytes, resulting in increased protection against UV-B.
Out Vitamin C has also been shown to be very effective against acne. A 10% aqueous gel produced over 75% success in treating acne patients.

Amino Acids
- Powerful and holistic anti-oxidant
- Clarifies skin
- Reduces hyperpigmentation
- Creates powerful synergy when used with other antioxidants


Amino Acids increase fatty acids in the mitochondria of the cells which allows for higher efficiency in oxygen metabolism. This increases ATP (energy) in the cells.
An ideal companion for our Vitamin C because it fortifies and supplements delivery of the Vitamin C into the skin. It also recycles Vitamin C just as well as Vitamin E does.
