DESCRIPTION:

Liposlim – is a combination of two high purity plant molecules (phizetin and frambinone) that together prevent fat accumulation. Phisetin is a naturally occurring flavonoid isolated from Buxus sinica (Korean boxwood). Frambinone is a naturally occurring phenolic compound (obtained from aniseed, Pimpinella anisum), also known as raspberry ketone. The complex of these two plants significantly improves skin elasticity, smooths bumps and reduces swelling.

Stretch-Stop – reduces the appearance of white and red stretch marks, regardless of their origin. At the same time, it strengthens the skin’s firmness and elasticity. Visible results are obtained after just 28 days. It combines two plants used in traditional Chinese medicine to improve Qi, or ‘vital energy flow’. Membranaceous astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) is one of the fifty essential herbs in traditional Chinese medicine. It is an adaptogen that protects the body from stress. Astragalus is credited with wound healing abilities due to the presence of saponins and polysaccharides that reduce inflammatory reactions. Bellflower (Codonopsis pilosula) is an herb commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine for its anti-ageing properties. It associates these properties with improving the immune system, eliminating free radicals and preventing lipoperoxidation. Stretch marks are breaks and loss of skin structure caused by excessive mechanical stretching. It is the result of the inability of local fibroblasts to repair and replace damaged fragments of the extracellular matrix. Stretch-Stop has an effect similar to platelet-rich plasma PRP injections. It reactivates dermal fibroblasts so that they can secrete various growth factors, such as those present in PRP, without the need for this invasive technique.

Silk proteins – influence the maintenance and restoration of skin elasticity and suppleness. They counteract the degenerative changes that accompany the skin ageing process. An important feature of silk is also its ability to retain water in the epidermis. Hydrolysed silk protein forms a protective film on the surface of the skin, reducing the roughness of the epidermis and hair and protecting against adverse environmental conditions. They also stimulate metabolic processes in the subcutaneous tissues.

Caffeine – has excellent draining properties – stimulates skin microcirculation. It has a good effect on flabby skin and reduces swelling. Caffeine is successfully used in cosmetics for dry and sensitive skin.

Hydroxyproline dipalmitate – an active substance obtained from plants with anti-wrinkle and moisturising effects. A derivative of hydroxyproline (the main component of collagen) counteracts the weakening of the collagen network, inhibits the enzymatic breakdown of elastin and protects fibroblasts from free radicals. Scientific studies indicate that the lipid derivative of hydroxyproline is more effective than vitamin C in protecting collagen and elastin fibres, and equals it in free radical scavenging.

Vitamin E (Tocopheryl acetate) – known as the “vitamin of youth. It is responsible for the formation of epidermal cells, inhibits the skin’s ageing process and restores its balance. Protects against harmful UV radiation, prevents strong oxidation of lipids in the skin. It counteracts the release of free radicals, helps maintain the elasticity of the skin and thus prevents skin ageing and the formation of wrinkles.

Green tea extract (Camellia Sinensis) – is rich in polyphenols, tannins, alkaloids, B vitamins, vitamins K, C, P and mineral salts. It regenerates and promotes blood circulation. It has a detoxifying effect by removing free radicals. Reduces swelling, soothes and calms. The skin is better protected against UV radiation. It is used for contaminated dry, oily and acne-prone skin. It is excellent for problems with vascular fragility, irritation and sunburn. It has a regenerating and toning effect and inhibits the development of inflammation.

Common ivy extract (Hedera helix) – leaf extract has anti-edema, anti-inflammatory, diastolic and analgesic effects. It shows a high ability to penetrate deep into the skin and drains tissues, activating lymph flow. Hedragenin – a flavonoid contained in the extract causes hyperactivation of cells, i.e. an increase in energy demand and consequently burning of excess fat. Saponins contained in ivy accelerate the removal of fat and toxins accumulated in the skin tissue. A very valuable property of ivy extract is that it improves the absorption of other ingredients of cosmetic preparations by the skin. The extract is commonly used in slimming and anti-cellulite cosmetics.

Mugwort extract (Artemisia abrotanum) – extracts from this herb have tonic, strengthening, antiseptic and metabolism-regulating effects. The extract of the herb improves blood circulation in the skin and has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Ruscus aculeatus extract (Ruscus aculeatus) – extract from the root, which contains a saponin called ruscin. Ruscin strengthens and seals the venous vessels. It prevents excessive dilatation of the venous vessels and their leakage. Ruscin extracts are also suitable for the long-term treatment of excessive permeability and fragility of blood vessels. Ruszczyk effectively shrinks blood vessels and seals them can be recommended in the care of telangiectasia, rosacea, relieves symptoms of allergies. It has a relaxing effect, prevents redness and irritation. It has a cooling and anti-inflammatory effect. Used in cosmetics, firming, anti-cellulite, in the care of venous and lymphatic insufficiency.

Cimicifuga racemosa extract (Cimicifuga racemosa) – the extract from the root is rich in isoflavones, which resemble estrogens in their spatial structure and thus show affinity to their receptors. they exhibit proestrogenic effects. These compounds control enzyme activity and influence cell division and growth. They stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid, which provides the skin with adequate hydration and elasticity. They are also characterised by very strong antioxidant properties. When used in cosmetics, they prevent oxidation and damage to cell membranes, inhibit the action of enzymes such as collagenase, which breaks down the support fibres of the dermis, and strengthen blood vessels. They also have a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect.

Ginseng extract (Panax ginseng) – a root extract containing glycosides, starch, fat, volatile oil, vitamins B1, B2, and C, iron and magnesium. The extract mainly contains saponins, ginsenosides and panaxosides with very high biological activity. Ginseng root extract rejuvenates the skin, stimulates epidermal renewal, restoring the skin’s physiological balance, and regulates the water and fat balance.

Cat’s claw extract (Uncaria tomentosa) – cat’s claw extract has antibacterial and antiviral effects. Among other things, it contains catechin tannins with antioxidant effects, increasing the skin’s resistance to free radicals and inflammation. It improves skin microcirculation.

Ricin oil (Ricinus communis oil) Contains 85% ricinoleic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid and linoleic acid. Applied externally to the skin, it has a smoothing, regenerating and protective effect. Prevents loss of epidermal moisture. Soothes irritations, softens and makes the skin more elastic.

Avocado Oil (Persea Gratissima Oil) – regenerating avocado oil with a very high content of triglycerides and natural vitamins A and E. Thanks to its soothing, moisturising and emollient properties, as well as its rapid penetration without leaving a sticky film – it is effective in rejuvenating treatment and prevents skin irritation.

Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter) – is obtained from the seeds of the Vitellaria paradoxa (Parka butter) tree. It contains nourishing fatty substances, vitamins E and F and ingredients that protect the skin from UVB radiation. Forms a natural sunscreen and has antioxidant properties. Has a smoothing and soothing effect on irritation. Lightly lubricates the skin without leaving a greasy feeling. Has a protective effect on the intercellular cement, moisturises and regenerates the skin. Increases the cohesion of the epidermal cells, softens and improves the elasticity and colour of the skin.

Beeswax (Cera Alba) – has antibacterial, smoothing and moisturising effects. Thanks to its highly nourishing substances, it lubricates the skin and protects it from drying out. Products enriched with beeswax also help skin sores to heal faster.
