KEY ACTIVES:

Lactic Acid (L) – Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that hydrates and exfoliates, reducing wrinkles and pigmentation discolorations. Naturally exists within the skin & gently resurfaces to increase cell turn over for continual youthful clarity

Palmitoyl Oligopeptide - studies have proven that this ingredient can refuel Collagen production by 350% & Hyaluronic Acid production by 146% - amino acids Glycine, Glutamine, Proline and Arginine make up this particular form of Oligopeptide

• Mimics skins natural trigger for accelerated collagen synthesis

• Reduces depth of wrinkles & skin roughness

• Deeply penetrating properties that encourage skins natural healthy function & elasticity

• increase in Hyaluronic Acid provides plumpness from within , combating lines & deep wrinkles

• Works synergistically with Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 promoting overall skin healing & regeneration

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 - Compound which combines several chains of amino acids to reduce skin inflammation and related skin damage

• Stimulates regeneration of collagen fibres in the dermis by acting as a cellular messenger

• Increases hyaluronic acid helping to tighten skin by attracting moisture to the epidermis

• Skin penetration enhancer

• Decreases inflammation by suppressing Interleukin (created in response to damage) which leads to cellular deterioration

• Accelerates healing by relieving chemical pressure on the skin

• Induces natural collagen production for skin healing and rejuvenation

• Symptoms of rosacea maybe alleviated

• Reduce the appearance of uneven skin tones

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

Niacinamide – Vitamin B3

• Repairs barrier function – reducing sensitivity

• Potent anti-inflammatory – calming atopic skin disorders

• Inhibits Melanosome transfer to Keratinocyte – normalising hyperpigmentation

• Maintains surveillance function of Langerhan Cells during UV exposure – reducing tumour formation

• Regulates moisture levels – over active sebaceous activity slowed – hydration levels restored

• Delivery mechanism for other nutrients

Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate (PRE|PRObiotic) – Cutting edge technology deploys antimicrobial peptide (Bacteriocin)

• Advanced oligosaccharide fructans are supplemented into Lactobacillus acidophilus growth media providing potent antibacterial activity

• Lysozyme addition ensures release of filtered pure pre|probiotics

• Reduces erythema, itching & flaking to aid reversal of damaged skin

• Balances healthy microbiome for optimal hydration & recalibrated age resistance

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

Manuka Honey – Potent anti-microbial properties due to its naturally occurring content of Methylglyoxal. It's high composition of fructose, glucose, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, enzymes & minerals has been shown to improve skin wound healing (primarily through strong anti-bacterial properties) Also acts as an emollient & humectant with soothing skin conditioning properties that helps skin repair itself & prevent infections

D-Panthenol – Vitamin B5

• Vital nourishment that adds moisture, maintains elasticity & strength of barrier function

• Anti-inflammatory – calming atopic skin disorders by reducing oxidative stress & environmental toxins

• Smooths roughness, irritation & fine lines

• Revitalises & aids healing processes by encouraging growth of new epithelial cells

• Regulates moisture levels – over active sebaceous activity slowed – hydration levels restored

• Nutrients promote luminous, even toned skin by managing healthy levels of fibroblasts, prolific in skins connective tissue defying ageing

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

Phospholipids | Sphingolipids: Plant-derived ceramides in lamellar structure – liposomal delivery

• An epidermis that is intact at the outermost boundary is crucial for a well-functioning physiological interaction between the individual skin layers

• Aids restoration of the lipid barrier of dry and fissured skin conditions

• Ensures a balanced water content of the skin

• High components of lipids in liquid crystalline form & sphingolipids (ceramides, glycoceramides)

Intercellular lipid matrix represents the mortar between the corneocytes (bricks) & is made up of the following:

• 50% Ceramides (most important structural elements of the lipid barrier)

• 25% Free fatty acids

• 20% Cholesterol

• 5% Cholesterol Sulfate

• Amino Acids

Sodium PCA

• Natural Moisturising Factor – providing long term correction to dehydration

Physiological hydrators offer long term restoration to treat NMF + LIPID deficiencies

Seabuckthorn CO2 Oil – Potent anti-inflammatory containing omegas 3+6 & vitamins E + A. Used to treat radiation burns

CoQ10 - Plays an essential role in our biological machinery, producing biological energy (ATP) inside the cells, aiding repair & keeping cells healthy. Also a potent antioxidant, it neutralises harmful free radicals, preventing premature ageing

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
