DESCRIPTION:

Blue bio-retinol – the plant equivalent of retinol. Extracted from specific unique blue endemic microalgae (of the Cyanophyta group) growing in the waters of Klamath Lake located 1,300m above sea level in southern Oregon. Extracts from this microorganism, known as ‘blue retinol’, show retinoid-like effects without side effects. The effects of this action are the reduction of wrinkles and smoothing of the skin. It is characterised by a very high content of proteins, lipids and liposaccharides, vitamins – especially B vitamins, amino acids and specific pigments that give the extract its original blue colour. Blue retinol, like retinol, influences the differentiation of keratinocytes towards smoothing and increasing the density of the epidermis, but does not cause any negative effects due to the accumulation of retinol in the tissues.

ATP-STIM – is a novel ingredient that stimulates and increases cellular energy. Improves the appearance of the skin’s surface by reactivating the energy of fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Reduces signs of skin fatigue and improves skin vitality. The skin is more velvety, hydrated, with a healthier tone. It is a cosmetic raw material obtained from the fruit of the Chinese Soap Tree (Sapindus mukorossi) and the seeds of the Peruvian Tara plant (Caesalpinia spinosa), which increases cellular energy levels in the skin and consequently improves its firmness, smooths imperfections and has a moisturising effect. Thanks to the use of an innovative multicapillary injection process, soapwood saponins, bound in a three-dimensional polysaccharide matrix, are gradually released deep into the skin, where they stimulate the mitochondria of fibroblasts to work more intensively. Studies have confirmed a 21% increase in cellular ATP levels. Thanks to the increased energy, skin cells are able to produce collagen and elastic fibres more efficiently, resulting in improved firmness and a smoother skin surface. An additional benefit is the moisturising action of ATP-STIM, thanks to the presence of galactomannans from the Tara tree. ATP-STIM is an ingredient in cosmetic preparations for people with active lifestyles, whose skin shows visible signs of fatigue and the first signs of ageing (caused, among other things, by low energy levels in the cells). ATP-STIM is an active substance that, thanks to innovative technology, combines Himalayan strength with Andean resilience and provides the dose of energy needed to protect and fight the signs of skin fatigue.

Extract of cornflower (Centaurea Cyanus) – thanks to its content of flavonoids and anthocyanins, it has emollient, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antibacterial effects. It is therefore recommended in preparations for oily skin, seborrhoeic skin and skin with symptoms of inflammatory changes. It also has shrinking properties, strengthening capillaries and counteracting redness, which is why it is used in cosmetics for vascular skin. Thanks to its toning, smoothing, refreshing and moisturising effects, it is used against signs of tired skin.

Borage extract (Borago officinalis) – the mucilaginous substances present in borage form a characteristic film on the stratum corneum, which helps to regulate water loss and maintain skin hydration. Meanwhile, the organic acids contained in the extract enhance the keratinisation process. Borage extract is also rich in antioxidants, making it ideal for mature and sensitive skin. Another cosmetic use of borage is to strengthen blood vessels and tighten the skin. It also has anti-inflammatory and soothing-regulating properties that are effective in the treatment of dermatoses.

Avocado extract (Persea gratissima) – has anti-ageing and antioxidant properties and stimulates collagen synthesis. Helps protect the skin from UV rays and free radicals. Improves barrier function and moisturises. Particularly recommended for sensitive and irritated skin.

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.

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.

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.

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) – is obtained from the seeds of the Vitellaria paradoxa tree (Parka butter). 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.

Alanthoin (provitamin A) – counteracts hypersensitivity and excessive reaction to the sun. It has antioxidant properties. Protects against free radicals, which are the cause of faster skin ageing.

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.
