FAQs About Our Products
1. What is face serum?
Serums are typically formulated with a higher concentration of active ingredients, making just a few drops sufficient to cover the entire face. The texture of serums is usually lighter than that of moisturizers, allowing them to be used as a standalone product for individuals with oilier skin or as a complement to a moisturizer for those with normal to dry skin.
Serums contain the most potent doses of anti-aging ingredients, including antioxidants, peptides, retinol, growth factors, alpha and beta hydroxy acids, unique botanicals, and skin brighteners like vitamin C. They are the true workhorses of any skincare product line.
The concentrated drops in serums are incredibly efficient. These products consist of very small molecules that the skin quickly and deeply absorbs. In contrast, the thicker and heavier ingredients in creams can form a barrier on your skin, which is beneficial for retaining moisture but may hinder the penetration of active ingredients. Without these obstacles, the active ingredients in a serum can permeate your skin more rapidly and effectively.
2. How to apply serum?
Serums should be applied once or twice daily. Joyal Beauty Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid serums can be applied in the morning and at night, while Retinol serum should be used exclusively at night.
Serums should be the first products applied to the skin after cleansing and toning (if you skip toning, that's acceptable) because they are composed of very small molecules that can penetrate the skin deeply, unlike the larger molecules found in moisturizers and creams.
To apply the serum, use one or two fingers (to prevent wasting the serum on your hands) and gently massage it thoroughly into the skin. In the morning, follow the serum with sunscreen, and in the evening, use a moisturizer suitable for your skin type over the serum.
It's important to note that if you have dry skin, a serum cannot replace a moisturizer. You should still apply your preferred moisturizer after the serum. However, if you have oily skin, you may find that using Joyal Beauty serums alone, without additional moisturizers, is more comfortable for you. It ultimately depends on your personal preference and how your skin feels. Experiment and find the best way to incorporate it into your routine.
3. Why are Joyal Beauty serums so reasonably priced, considering that serums are typically expensive?
Many well-known skincare brands offer face serums in the market that exceed $70 per bottle. While the manufacturing cost in our California lab is high, Joyal Beauty's vision is to provide a luxurious experience at the most affordable prices for everyone, which means our profit margins are quite thin.
We've implemented a strict internal control system, use eco-friendly packaging, and minimize spending on advertising campaigns, all while sourcing the highest quality raw materials from our suppliers. It's essential to note that a high price tag does not necessarily equate to high quality. Many large national brands allocate a significant portion of their costs to advertising, often exceeding 70%. Essentially, people end up paying more for the brand's advertisements than for the actual products.
At Joyal Beauty, our advertising costs represent less than 5% of the total expenses. We take pride in keeping our operation 'small and beautiful,' primarily serving individuals who value nature and self-care. We primarily rely on the word of mouth from our satisfied customers. Therefore, when you purchase serums from us, you can be assured that every penny is well-spent on your skin, not on advertising campaigns.

4. How long is the shelf life of Joyal Beauty serums?
Our business strategy is built around maintaining the lowest inventory levels to ensure that every serum is freshly made before delivery to customers, all while reducing warehouse storage costs. We produce our products in small batches to guarantee the highest quality and the longest shelf life. The small batch approach allows us to use the freshest organic ingredients available, ensuring effective skin and facial rejuvenation. This, in turn, enables us to offer top-quality products at the most affordable prices to our customers.
All of our products, which are 98% natural and 72% organic, undergo stability testing, and their shelf life is two or three years after opening. For these 98% natural products, we use a small amount of ethylhexylglycerin preservative, derived from vegetable oil, as a safe alternative to harmful parabens.
There is one exception: the 100% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum (with a 50 kDa molecule weight and 4% concentration of hyaluronic acid), which is our original flagship product, invented and formulated by our founder in 2013. For this product, we use an organic preservative called leucidal, derived from radishes fermented with leuconostoc kimchii.
To preserve the quality of our serums, it's advisable to store them in a cool, dry place with a room temperature ranging from 52°F to 73°F, while also avoiding direct exposure to heat and sunlight."

5. Why do Joyal Beauty serums use 1 oz dark containers with pump dispensers/droppers as packaging? How long will it last if I apply it every day?
All antioxidants, including vitamin C, are susceptible to deterioration in the presence of air and light. Unless a product is in an airtight and opaque package, it's best to avoid it. Many brands package their serums in pump bottles or with medicine-dropper applicators to dispense the precise amount you need. These concentrated drops are highly efficient, as serums deliver a concentrated dose of potent ingredients.
Most customers find that a 1-ounce container of serum should last them 1-3 months, depending on their usage. We recommend using the serum twice daily, or at least once daily. When purchasing serums, remember to choose dark containers with pump/dropper dispensers to protect them from degradation due to light and air exposure.

6. What are parabens? What does 'paraben-free' mean? I've noticed that many brands still include parabens in their products. Why do Joyal Beauty products not contain parabens?
Parabens are the most widely used preservatives in cosmetics and personal care products, including soap, moisturizers, shaving cream, and underarm deodorant, as stated by the Food and Drug Administration. To delve a bit into the science, parabens are esters, which are compounds formed from acids and alcohols, specifically p-hydroxybenzoic acid. The most common parabens are methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben.
It is estimated that more than 90% of cosmetics companies employ parabens to extend the shelf life of their products and prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi. However, parabens are potential skin irritants that have been linked to several long-term health implications. Some research even suggests a connection between parabens and breast cancer and fertility issues. In the 1990s, parabens were classified as xenoestrogens, which are agents that mimic estrogen in the body. 'Estrogen disruption' has been associated with breast cancer and reproductive problems. Notably, in 2004, British cancer researcher Philippa Darbre, Ph.D., discovered the presence of parabens in malignant breast tumors. Consequently, experts in many countries are advocating for limits on paraben levels in cosmetic products. Additionally, watchdog organizations are concerned that if parabens can accumulate in the body, they may have a cumulative effect over time, posing a health risk. This is why choosing paraben-free products is crucial. You don't want to spend over $300 on a bottle of cream, which contains many harmful parabens. Instead, you want sustainable, healthy products.
'Paraben-Free' means that the product contains no parabens. Instead, Joyal Beauty uses ingredients like ethylhexylglycerin and leucidal, which are plant-derived and safe. This way, our customers don't have to compromise between product performance and their health or the planet's well-being.

7. What are sulfates? Why are Joyal Beauty products free from sulfates?
Sulfates are a group of inexpensive detergents or surfactants that find use in numerous consumer products today. The most commonly employed sulfates include sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES). Sulfates themselves are categorized as skin and membrane irritants and are considered potential carcinogens with repeated or prolonged exposure. They can also generate more hazardous by-products when blended with other ingredients. Their interaction with common cleansing ingredients can give rise to toxins known as nitrosamines, which belong to the nitrate family. You might have encountered information about these compounds, as they are widely recognized as carcinogens when consumed or applied to the skin.
Soaps and skin cleansers that contain these detergents strip away the protective lipids, which are natural fats that encase the skin. This upsets the skin's moisture balance and leads to unnecessary dryness. The misleading sense of 'cleanliness' attributed to these detergents stems from the fact that they remove the protective layers from our skin and hair. Sulfates can result in skin irritations, exacerbate existing skin issues, and may even be linked to hair loss. Sulfates are cost-effective and efficient as detergents, but our delicate scalp, hair, and hair follicles may struggle with these harsh chemicals, especially as we age.
At Joyal Beauty, we will never compromise our customers' health, which is why all Joyal Beauty products are free from sulfates.
Phthalates are a class of chemicals widely used in consumer products. Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is utilized in nail polish and is listed by the EU as an endocrine-disrupting compound of high concern. Diethyl phthalate (DEP) is employed in fragrances to help scents linger, although it is rarely disclosed on labels since it's a constituent ingredient of the commonly listed 'fragrance.' Two decades of research indicate that phthalates disrupt hormonal systems, potentially causing harm during critical periods of development.
Exposure to phthalates during pregnancy, as measured through urine samples, has been linked to a shortened anogenital distance in male babies. This indicates a feminization process during prenatal genital development. A shorter anogenital distance is characteristic of the female sex in both humans and animals. Other research in humans has demonstrated that baby boys exposed to phthalates in breast milk experienced alterations in their hormone levels. Studies in adult human males have revealed that exposure to certain phthalates is associated with poor sperm quality and infertility. Further research in male animals has shown that exposure to various phthalates can lead to genital birth defects, such as hypospadias (an abnormal location for the urethra opening on the underside of the penis) and undescended or small testicles, ultimately resulting in low sperm counts and infertility. Female laboratory animals exposed to phthalates have also exhibited alterations in sex hormones and experienced fetal loss. Phthalates interfere with reproductive function by reducing sex hormone levels, which are crucial for the development and functioning of sex organs. Additional research suggests that these same mechanisms may link phthalates to breast cancer, as they have been shown to stimulate the proliferation of breast tumor cells and reduce the effectiveness of anti-estrogen treatments like tamoxifen against tumors.
To avoid these issues, it is important to choose 'phthalates-free' products. Products that list 'fragrance' on the label should be avoided to prevent potential exposure to phthalates. Joyal Beauty products are entirely phthalates-free and do not contain fragrance. The scents of our products are derived solely from natural and healthy ingredients, such as organic essential oils and vegetable oils.

9. What are petrochemicals? Why are Joyal Beauty products free from petrochemicals?
Petrochemicals, which include mineral oils, propylene glycol, silicone, and petroleum products, are chemicals derived from petroleum or natural gas. These materials are obtained from crude petroleum in one of two ways: they may either be present in the crude oil and isolated through physical methods, or they are synthesized during the refining process. Some common petrochemicals that raise health concerns include dioxins, phthalates, SLS, DEA, TEA, and formaldehyde. There are over 4,000 products classified as petrochemicals.
Petrochemicals and their byproducts, such as dioxins, are known to cause a range of serious health problems, including cancer and endocrine disruption, which involves interference with hormones within the body. Endocrine disruptors can impact growth, development, intelligence, and reproduction, and the damage can be irreversible and passed on to future generations.
Recent studies have shown that individuals may actually absorb more toxins through skin absorption and inhalation than through the foods they consume. Because the skin is the body's largest organ, it offers a substantial surface area through which the migration of toxic chemicals may occur. When you apply chemicals to your skin, they can pass directly through and enter your bloodstream within minutes. Petrochemicals do not absorb well into the skin, and even if they are combined with skin-healthy ingredients, they typically hinder the proper absorption of these beneficial components. Additionally, they are known to pollute water and the environment.
For instance, mineral oil is a very inexpensive petroleum product that can clog pores and reduce the skin's ability to detoxify, promoting premature aging and interfering with the skin's capacity to eliminate toxins, ultimately leading to acne and other skin disorders. Silicone emollients are occlusive, meaning they coat the skin, trapping anything beneath and not allowing the skin to breathe, much like plastic wrap. Silicones, which comprise a wide family of synthetic compounds used for their soft and silky texture, are not environmentally friendly, as they are not biodegradable. Propylene Glycol, a petroleum derivative used as a humectant to prevent products from drying out, has been shown in research by the American Academy of Dermatologists to be a skin irritant linked to several allergies.
Therefore, it is advisable to always seek out products with natural ingredients and avoid cosmetics that are artificially colored or contain synthetic fragrances. For example, if a serum is bright green or blue, it very likely contains a coal tar color. Joyal Beauty products are free from petrochemicals, and we do not add colors or fragrances.

10. What does 'cruelty-free' mean, and why are all Joyal Beauty products cruelty-free?
The term 'cruelty-free' or 'not tested on animals' is generally understood within the animal rights movement as a product that has not been tested on animals by the manufacturer. Animals such as rabbits, rats, mice, and guinea pigs are forced to eat or inhale substances or have a cosmetic ingredient rubbed onto their shaved skin, eyes, or ears every day for 28 or 90 days to see if they have an allergic reaction. Then, they are killed and cut open to examine the effects the ingredient has on internal organs. These tests are also done with pregnant animals who, after much suffering, are killed along with the fetus. In more prolonged carcinogen tests, rats are force-fed a cosmetic ingredient over two years, monitored for cancer, and then killed. As technology developed, outdated animal testing is being replaced with quicker, cheaper, and more accurate methods. Critics point out that humane alternatives can be slow to implement, costly, and test only one compound at a time. Alternatives have shown positive results. For example, reconstructed human epidermis, which uses human skin donated from cosmetic surgery to replace the rabbit Draize skin test, is more relevant to human reactions. Other methods replace the Draize eye test by using in vitro (test-tube) human tissue. Computer-based systems allow for the isolation of a select tissue or organ to conduct tests in an extremely controlled environment. These tests not only save countless animal lives but are more precise and accurate at protecting humans from toxic substances. Another cruelty-free option is using ingredients that have already been established as safe, such as the 20,000 ingredients in the European Union database. So it's important to buy cruelty-free products to support companies that are animal-friendly and to boycott companies that still test on animals. In the United States, federal law requires drugs to be tested on animals, but no law requires cosmetics or household products to be tested on animals unless they contain new chemicals. With so many substances that are already known to be safe, cruelty-free companies can continue to offer new, quality products year after year without testing on animals. All Joyal Beauty products are cruelty-free.
11. Can I apply Joyal Beauty face serums around my eyes?
Absolutely, yes. Joyal Beauty face serums contain stable, potent, and gentle ingredients without any artificial fragrance, dyes, or harmful chemicals. They are designed for use all over the face, including the skin around the eyes. It is true that the skin around the eyes is thinner, and using thick eye creams can make your foundation or concealer crease into lines around the eyes. Joyal Beauty face serums actually have a lighter and thinner consistency than most brands of eye creams. Joyal Beauty face serums are well-formulated to fight dry skin and wrinkles, repair the skin, create healthier skin cells, build collagen, improve dark circles (to some extent), and prevent sun damage. Using them for the eye area is a great way to take care of your skin.
12. I have extremely combination skin. My T-zone is very oily, while the sides of my face remain very dry. Can you suggest the right daily routine for me?
Treating extremely combination skin requires a routine of gentle, fragrance-free products that contain ingredients proven to normalize the skin. With the right products, extremely combination skin will become less oily and less dry! The most effective approach is a skincare routine that includes a product that isn't too heavy for your oily T-zone, a skin-repairing toner for all-over use, and a richer cream or lotion-textured moisturizer to spot-treat your extra-dry areas.
Your daytime routine would look like this:
- Cleanse.
- Apply a lightweight toner.
- Smooth on a weightless anti-aging serum - Joyal Beauty Super Brightening Vitamin C Serum.
- Apply Joyal Beauty 100% natural oil-free Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum on your face, especially your oily T-zone. You don't need to apply moisturizer to your T-zone.
- Spot-apply an emollient moisturizer to dry areas only, including around the eyes.
- Apply a super-light sunscreen all over the face and neck.
Your nighttime routine would look like this:
- Cleanse.
- Apply a lightweight toner.
- Apply a light, liquid BHA exfoliant or lotion BHA exfoliant.
- Smooth on a weightless anti-aging serum - Joyal Beauty Ultimate Brightening Age Defy Serum. This serum also has exfoliating function and can control oil production, so it is best for your T-zone area. You don't need to follow with moisturizer on your oily T-zone after applying this serum.
- Spot-apply an emollient moisturizer to dry areas only, including around the eyes.
- If needed, apply a silky gel moisturizer (think ultra-light) to oily areas.
13. Your Ultimate Brightening Age Defy Serum is also called Kojic Acid Serum. What is kojic acid? What are the benefits? What's the percentage of kojic acid in this serum? Is it safe?
Kojic acid is an all-natural compound derived from fungi, similar to mushrooms. Our kojic acid is derived from organic wild reishi, making it completely natural and not synthesized in a laboratory by scientists and dermatologists. Kojic acid works to inhibit melanin production in the skin, which is responsible for skin pigmentation. Age spots, sun spots, and issues related to melasma and hyperpigmentation often contain more melanin than the surrounding healthy skin.
Kojic acid is generally considered safe for use. It is not only used in skincare but is also a common food preservative, extending the shelf life of products. This demonstrates its safety, as it can be ingested without adverse effects.
After reviewing available data, Kojic Acid has been deemed safe for consumer use at a concentration of 1.0% in leave-on creams applied to the face or body. Higher concentrations may lead to skin irritations, so a concentration of around 1% is considered optimal. Joyal Beauty Ultimate Brightening Age Defy Serum contains less than and close to 1% kojic acid, making it safe and suitable for even the most sensitive skin.
15. Can your serums be stored in the fridge?
Yes, our serums can be stored in the fridge. Storing serums in the fridge can help prolong their shelf life and maintain the stability of their active ingredients, especially if the room temperature in your area is consistently high. However, it's not necessary for most serums, as long as you store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigerating serums may make them more refreshing to apply, but it's not a requirement for their efficacy.
16. Is hyaluronic acid serum the same as hyaluronic acid capsules?
Hyaluronic acid serum and hyaluronic acid capsules are not the same. They serve different purposes and are used differently.
-
) Hyaluronic Acid Serum: This is a topical skincare product designed for external use on the skin. It is formulated to hydrate and moisturize the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance skin's overall health and appearance. When applied to the skin, hyaluronic acid serum helps to retain moisture, resulting in smoother, plumper skin. It does not involve oral consumption.
-
) Hyaluronic Acid Capsules: These are dietary supplements meant for oral consumption. When you take hyaluronic acid in capsule form, it may offer benefits for joint health, eye health, and overall hydration from within the body. These capsules are not applied to the skin but are ingested.
There are two generations of hyaluronic acid:
HA that comes in capsules or powder supplements is high molecular weight, meaning it is a bigger molecule and harder to absorb into the skin dermis. High molecular weight hyaluronic acid is used in aesthetic medicine (sub-dermal injections) in its natural form or reticulated one to fill wrinkles. In cosmetics, this grade of hyaluronic acid is used as a thicker moisturizer because it mainly retains water on the skin's surface. This grade of hyaluronic acid has no biological activity.
Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid is made up of smaller fragments of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid. This grade is primarily used in cosmetics, especially in serums, as these smaller fragments have been shown to activate certain biological pathways, leading to anti-aging effects. It can penetrate deeper into the skin's dermis. That's why Joyal Beauty serums use low molecular weight hyaluronic acid for better absorption.

17. I am over 30, and I don't have deep wrinkles yet, but my facial skin is sagging and needs an anti-aging serum. I ordered the Timeless Skin Renewal Serum, but I noticed that you have some other products, and I wanted to know how I can use and combine them. I have dry skin.
All of our serums can be combined and used together. Our retinol serum and age-defy serum should be used at night, while other serums can be used both during the day and at night. When Amazon ships the products, we always send detailed instructions to our customers. Please read that email carefully before using our products.
In general, the rule for applying multiple products is to start with the thinner-textured products before applying thicker ones. So your sequence of application should be: toner -> serum -> eye gel -> moisturizer/facial oil -> sunscreen (daytime).
Many customers start with our vitamin C serum and hyaluronic acid serum. Our vitamin C serum has the thinnest texture, so it should be the first serum to apply. After the vitamin C serum, you can apply the HA serum or royal jelly serum, which can be used both in the morning and at night.
Aloe vera is known for its firming and tightening properties, and the malic acid in aloe vera gel helps improve skin elasticity and address sagging skin. Our vitamin C serum is aloe vera-based.
Hyaluronic acid serum is excellent for treating sagging skin because it can attract and hold water in the skin dermis. We have two different hyaluronic serums: one is our 100% natural original HA serum with a 3% concentration, suitable for all skin types, especially good for oily or sensitive skin; the other is our 98% natural HA serum with a 5% HA solution and 5% vitamin C, suitable for all skin types.
Our royal jelly serum is also very popular because royal jelly, honey, and propolis are excellent natural moisturizers and anti-aging ingredients.
For dry skin, it's crucial to use a gentle cleanser or honey to clean your face and then apply our vitamin C serum. If you want to gently remove dead cells and exfoliate your face, you can try our Age Defy Serum at night.
Sagging skin is often caused by chronic dehydration, and those who experience dehydration may find that their moisturizers aren't effective. Regular exfoliation can help the products penetrate the skin better and improve overall results. All of our serums promote collagen production.
Since serums are lightweight and contain less oil, they penetrate the skin to deliver nutrients. For dry skin, it's essential to follow with an oil-based moisturizer that stays on the skin's surface to prevent water loss. The royal jelly serum you purchased is a good choice, and you can also consider moisturizers containing beeswax, which is effective at preventing water loss. You can also explore organic facial oils for regular face and neck massages.
Massaging your face and neck with natural oils like olive oil can help tighten loose skin and maintain firmness and smoothness. Olive oil has antioxidants like vitamins A and E that offer anti-aging benefits. Avocado, coconut, grapeseed, jojoba, or almond oil are also suitable for face, neck, and body massages.
Honey is hydrating and contains antioxidants and anti-aging properties. Mixing honey with oil and using it for facial massages can be beneficial for treating sagging skin.
Lack of muscle can contribute to skin sagging, so consider adding resistance training three times a week, along with cardiovascular training two days per week, to maintain a healthy body and skin.
Regular exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and promotes circulation. Staying hydrated and using moisturizers helps prevent fluid retention and keeps skin cells plump and firm. Don't forget to protect your skin from the sun by applying sunscreen before going outdoors.
Skin products that contain yeast extract, aloe vera extract, and vitamin C can promote collagen and elastin production, helping to firm your skin. Hyaluronic acid serum can restore water to sagging, aged skin.

18. What happens to hyaluronic acid upon aging?
Hyaluronic acid is highly sensitive to free radicals and hydrolyzing enzymes, such as hyaluronidase. It's estimated that approximately one-third of the hyaluronic acid in our bodies is produced and degraded each day. As we age, the rate of production decreases, and it becomes lower than the rate of degradation. This partially explains some of the problems related to skin sagging and painful joints.
In certain conditions that stimulate the abnormal production of free radicals in our skin, such as exposure to UV radiation, pollutants, and chemical stress, hyaluronic acid degrades even more rapidly. This can lead to the premature appearance of signs of aging.
By incorporating Joyal Beauty 100% all-natural hyaluronic acid into your daily skincare routine, you can help combat the effects of aging and maintain a more youthful appearance.
