KEY ACTIVES

Tetrapeptide 30 – Biomimetic (skin-identical) Amino acid sequence                                                                                                 

Proline –Lysine – Glutamic Acid – Lysine

• Active on all kinds of skin types

• Visibly diminishes hyperchromatic spots

• Reduces acne lesions

• Alleviates melasma on ethnic skin

• Provides a significant anti-inflammatory effect

• Safely inhibits the pigmentation process without toxicity or rebound effect

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 Biomimetic Peptide (EGCG - Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate)

• Active constituent of Green Tea - Initiates NRF-2, the master switch for anti-oxidant signalling

• Protects ECM degradation & modulates inflammation

• Shields DNA, membrane integrity & skin structure

• Reduces oxidative stress & lipid peroxidation

• Inhibits melanogenesis & glycation

Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester: Biomimetic lipopeptide – amino acid sequence N-Acetyl-Tyrosyl-Arginyl-Hexadecyl ester (Tyrosine & Arginine)

• Neurotransmitter for relaxation & muscle contraction inhibition

• Aids reduction in expression lines

• Pacifies skin to reduce discomfort caused by environmental aggressors

• β-endorphin and met-enkephalin are neuropeptides involved in the down-regulation of nerve and muscle activity

• Enhances stimulation of the gene expression of POMC (Pro-opiomelanocortin), the precursor of β-endorphin and met-enkephalin

• Signals our skin to relax via the skin nerve cells stimulation of met-enkaphalin – an opioid for relaxing & pain relieving

• Modulates the perception of discomfort in sensitive skins with a low thresh hold tolerance to topical aggressors, chemical stinging, heat, cold & stress

• Skin types under constant assault develop hyper vigilance to free radical penetration resulting in extreme discomfort physically & emotionally

• Claimed to also prevent the onset of wrinkles & expression lines due to its tension relieving properties

Milk Thistle (Silybum Marianum Seed Extract) Extracted utilizing Biomimicry technology

• Phyto-actives maintain their full potency suspended in a nature identical environment  – Includes fatty acids including Linoleic Acid

• A complex mixture of polyphenolic molecules including 7 flavonolignans, providing relief for cutaneous discomforts

• Demonstrates the ability to reduce harmful effects of radiation, targeting oxidative stress, inflammation, immune responses, DNA damage & cell prolieration

Hyaluronic Acid – Mid – High Molecular Weight

• Natural Moisturising Factor that attracts + binds up to 1000 X its own weight in moisture

• Plumps surface tissue to alleviate dry, thinning skin

• Assists wound healing + repairs barrier function

• Inhibits Trans Epidermal Water Loss– essential for atopic skins

Hyaluronic Acid - Low Molecular Weight

• Trials indicate a reduction in immune-derived inflammation, improving scaling, erythema & pruritus. Effective Seborrheic Dermatitis Rx

• Biological activity triggers built-in immune defence mechanisms whilst inducing anti-bacterial responses effectively healing skins epithelium

• Penetrates  effectively to rebuild + plump deeper layers firming the skins surface

• Replenishes the hydration factors diminished with ageing + sun damage to mimic youthful levels

Cocos Nucifera Fruit Extract – Coconut Botanical

• Rapid metabolic conversion of MCTs into cellular energy increases the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids

• Effective levels of Sterols – structurally similar to cholesterol – an essential component of  proper cell membrane permeability and fluidity

• Transfer of MCTs into essential fatty acids allows for normalisation of epidermal lipids & intense hydration retention

• Inhibits TEWL sealing in moisture and delivering critical macronutrients

• Anti-inflammatory, reduces penetration of free radical aggressors & pollutants

• Assimilates with the skin transforming it into a luxuriously soft, hydrated surface

• Anti-oxidant & film-forming protection

• Aids barrier function repair

Advanced Olive Complex: It is a natural complex of fatty acids, chemically similar to the lipidic composition of the skin surface                                                                                                                                                                         

• Has the ability to generate liquid crystal structures that mimic stratum corneum organization

• Due to its exceptional chemical composition and physical structuring, it acts in a biomimetic manner, interacting with the human hydrolipidic film to promote healthy barrier function, skin hydration and elegant skin feel

• Created to support green chemistry philosophy with cutting-edge technology, making it possible to craft products with superior function & texture

Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract: Polyphenol content for anti-oxidant impact, contains alkaloid theobromine for stimulatory effect, improves skin hydration with essential fatty acids

Vitamins - Anti-Oxidants / Anti-Inflammatories: Alpha Bisabilol (Pure Chamomile Extract) Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A) Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (stable Vitamin C) D-Alpha  Tocopherol (Pure Vitamin E) Rosemary - With an abundance of flavonoids (phytonutrients or plant chemicals) that provide remedial benefits through cell signalling pathways and antioxidant effects, these botanical wound healing agents function as anti-oxidants and protect the skin cells from oxidation

They are also known to have anti-bacterial & anti-fungal activity

Rubus Fruticosus (Blackberry) Fruit Extract: Anti-aging and MMPi (Matrix Metalloproteinase inhibitor) enzyme that has shown to be capable of breaking down extracellular matrix (connective tissue) proteins
