DESCRIPTION:

Loucyrrhiza extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra) – extract from the root of this plant has strong water binding properties in the skin, so is an effective moisturising ingredient. It soothes skin irritation and inflammation, alleviates the effects of UV radiation and has antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal properties. Strengthens blood vessels, reduces under-eye puffiness and skin redness, brightens skin tone. It increases the regenerative ability of skin cells, which is why it is also used in cosmetic preparations as an anti-wrinkle ingredient. Inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme that contributes to the formation of discolouration.

Allantoin VC – a complex of ascorbic acid with allantoin. Combines the whitening, antioxidant and anti-ageing effects of vitamin C with the soothing and moisturising effects of allantoin. The complex protects against free radicals and UV damage, reduces the effects of photo-ageing and skin ageing. Thanks to vitamin C, it reduces the intensity of hyperpigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase activity. It lightens skin tone and pigmented lesions due to oxidative damage. It is an active promoter of collagen synthesis and has a rejuvenating effect. Allantoin counteracts hypersensitivity and excessive reaction to the sun. It has antioxidant properties. Protects against free radicals, which are the cause of faster skin ageing.

Hamamelis extract (Hamamelis virginiana) – contains a mixture of tannins, organic acids (gallic, ellagic), flavonoids and saponins. It has strong regenerative, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and strong astringent effects. Soothes symptoms of irritation and redness. Improves blood supply to the skin.

Quinoa extract (Chenopodium quinoa) – an exotic plant known as Inca rice. It contains proteins, carbohydrates, unsaturated fats, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins. It strongly moisturises and regenerates. Increases anti-radical protection, inhibits the ageing process. Improves skin elasticity, reduces sensitivity to sunlight.

Horsetail extract (Equisetum arvense) – a rich source of silicon. This element ensures the maintenance of connective tissue moisture, provides the skin with elasticity, resilience and a healthy appearance, and counteracts the formation of wrinkles. It soothes inflammation of the epidermis and accelerates its regeneration, seals blood vessels and has an anti-edema effect.

Chestnut extract (Aesculus hippocastanum)- is an important ingredient in preparations against broken capillaries. It also has a mattifying effect on the skin and removes impurities. It has firming and UV-protective properties. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-oedematous effects while strengthening blood vessels.

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.

Rosa rose oil (Rosa Moschata Oil), also known as musk rose, is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, trans-retinoic acid, tannins, flavonoids, vitamin C and beta-carotene. Due to its composition, it has a natural ability to protect against photo-ageing and repairs the effects of UV exposure – smoothing wrinkles, reducing the amount and intensity of pigment spots.

Corn Oil (Zea mays Oil) a valuable plant product contains large amounts of unsaturated fatty acids (contains about 60% linoleic acid), a lot of tocopherols (vitamin E). Thanks to its unsaturated acid content, the emollient improves the epidermal barrier, reduces the risk of hyperpigmentation and normalises the skin’s keratinisation processes.

Shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter) – 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.

Vitamin A (Retinol Palmitate) – has a protective and regenerative effect on the epidermis, soothes inflammation, and is responsible for the growth and maturation of epithelial cells.

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.

Vitamin B₅ (Calcium Pantothenate) – activates metabolic processes, has a soothing and calming effect, reduces redness. Activates epidermal cell division, accelerating healing and soothing irritation, moisturises and softens the epidermis. It improves the structure of the epidermis, has a shielding effect, stimulates epithelial formation, has an anti-inflammatory effect, improves and increases the moisture content of the skin – dry skin becomes smooth and supple.

Vitamin B₇ (biotin, vitamin H) – its correct concentration in the body determines the healthy appearance of the skin, hair and nails. This is due to the sulphur molecules in the vitamin, which regulate the activity of the sebaceous and sweat glands. Due to its similar chemical structure to the urea molecule, similar moisturising properties are observed.

Inositol (Inositol) – a plant component, mainly extracted from the hulls of cereal grains. It has an anti-ageing effect. Blocks the tyrosinase process, which prevents melanin formation and hyperpigmentation. Prevents blood vessels from bursting and causes so-called ‘spider veins’ to hide. Natural antioxidant.

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.

UVA/UVB filters – high photostable UVA/UVB filters to protect against radiation and skin damage.
