In the past half century, the scientific community has discovered that the secret to looking younger can be found in nature. Studies and clinical trials show that antioxidants, vitamins, botanical extracts, oxygen carriers, and peptides help ease years from your face. When properly formulated and manufactured, these powerhouse ingredients can work together to give you firmer, brighter smoother skin.
Hyaluronic Acid
- Helps skin retain water for firmless and elasticity
- Found in great abundance in young skin, but reduces as individual ages.
- Necessary for transportation aof essential nutrients.
Peptides
- Increase collagen sythesis by stimulating skin’s Tissue Growth Factor, (Skin permeable collagen peptide preventing wrinkle formation induced by photoaging)
- Reduce puffiness and bags under the eyes.
- Increase firmness and elasticity of skin, (The peptide revolution, Healthy Aging)
- Reduce skin fragility by strengthening skin’s dermal matrix,(A triplet from the a2(1) chain of human types 1collagen, stimulates collagen synthesis by fibroblast cultures)
Stabilised Vitamin C
- Brightens skin by reducing melanin production.
- Increases collagen production, (Double-blind, half-face study comparing topical vitamin C and vehicle for rejuvenation of photodamage)
-Powerful antioxidant.
Arginine
- An amino acid that increases cell turnover and skin firmness.
- Reduces hyperpigmentation and supports wound healing, (Advances in Skin and Wound Care)
- Anti-Inflammatory agent.
Bamboo Extract, Pea Extract, And Soyabean seed extract.
- Bamboo extract supports collagen and elastic functions, (Silicon deprivation dercreases collagen formation in wounds and bine and ornithine transaminase enzyme activity in liver)
- pea extract stimulates chnndroitin and hyaluronic acid production to strengthen skin cells. Fights free radicals.
- Soybean seed extgract fights premature aging by maintaining skin energy level and improving skin elasticity, (Molecular mechanisms of intrinsic skin aging and retinoid-induced repair and reversal)
Sodium PCA
- A humectant, known as a “Natural Moisturizing Factor” (NMF), (8)
- Extremely hygroscopic (able to attact water).
- Helps soften and moisturize skin.
Zinc Glycinate
- Stable molecule that helps to deliver zinc to the skin.
- Induces the synthesis of metallothionein.
Matallothionein is a powerfulanti-oxidant that helps to reduce malanin production by chelating copper and inhibiting tyrosinase production.(A Zn(II)-glycine complex suppresses UVB -Induced malanin production by stimulating metallothionein expression).
Hydrocinnamic Acid (HCA) and Diacetyl Boldine
- clinical studies show they reduce melanin production better than Kojic Acid. (Protection against ultraviolet B-induced oxidative DNA damage in rebbit corneal-derived cells (SIRC) by 4-courmaric acid. The effect of S(+)-boldine on the alpha 1-adrenoceptor of the guinea-pig aorta.
- HCA is an excellent antioxidant, deliversbioactivbity to the skin.
- Diacetyl Boldine brightens skin and improves skin clarity.
Hydrolized Prunus Domestica Extract
- A botanical extract that brightens skin and inhibits transfer of melanin to skin surface. (Phagocytosis of latex beads by epidermal keratinocyes)
- Increases moisture to skin.
- Improves skin texture.
Oxygen carriers (Perfluronhexane, Perfluor Opehydrophenanthrene, Perfluorodecalin, Ethyl Perflurorobutyl Ether, Ethyl Perfluoroisobutyl Ether)
- Maintain and improve skin health and appearance.
- Lack of oxygen in skin results in premature aging, (A milestone in cosmeticology)
