Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 Biomimetic Peptide (EGCG - Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate) Active constituent of Green Tea - Initiates NRF-2, the master switch for antioxidant signaling Protects ECM degradation and modulates inflammation, shields DNA, membrane integrity and skin structure. Reduces oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation Inhibits melanogenesis and glycation.
Cocos Nucifera Fruit Extract – Coconut Botanical Rapid metabolic conversion of MCTs into cellular energy increases the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Applying effective levels of Sterols – structurally like cholesterol – an essential component of proper cell membrane permeability and fluidity allowing the transfer of MCTs into essential fatty acids allows for normalization of epidermal lipids & intense hydration retention, inhibiting TEWL, sealing in moisture and delivering critical macronutrients.
Anti-inflammatory, reduces penetration of free radical aggressors and pollutants whilst it assimilates with the skin transforming it into a luxuriously soft, hydrated surface with antioxidant and film-forming protection aiding barrier function repair.
Sea buckthorn CO2 Oil Potent anti-inflammatory containing omegas 3+6 & vitamins E + A.
Co2 Extracted Rose Hip Oil Contains pro vitamin A (mostly Beta-Carotene) also contains levels (up to .357 ml/L) of tretinoin or all-trans retinoic acid. High in the essential fatty acids: linoleic acid – omega 6 and linolenic acid – omega 3. Prevents trans- epidermal water loss (TEWL) aiding skin conditions: dermatitis, acne and eczema.
Cucumber Seed Oil Detoxifies the skin due to its proteolytic enzymes. Soothes, reducing inflammation and moisturises.
Chamomile Flower (Co2) Extract High grade composition maintains potent anti-inflammatory, healing, soothing and vasoconstrictor properties assisting Eczema, Psoriasis, Rosacea and sensitive skin types.
Calendula Flower Extract Protects and calms reactive skin. Relieves pain, itching and burning with potent anti- inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Natural immunostimulant that accelerates wound healing with tissue regenerating effects. Stimulates collagen at wound sites,minimizes scarring. Beneficial for those with compromised immune systems, wounds, burns, eczema and other inflammatory skin disorders.
L-22™ Biomimetic Lipid Composition: Jojoba Oil/Macadamia Seed Oil Esters, Squalane, Phytosteryl Macadamiate, Phytosterols, Tocopherol - Ratio consistent with lipid profile of healthy 22-year-old skin. Long term correction is induced with ingredients that occur naturally in the skin providing calibration and optimal function. The skin learns to rehydrate itself again - Promoting less dependence on extra products.
Advanced Olive Complex It is a natural complex of fatty acids, chemically like 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 and skin hydration
Macadamia Virgin Butter Rich in essential fatty acids with a similar chemical structure to human sebum forms a strong affinity with the skins natural barrier inhibiting TEWL. Phytosterols are protective, aiding in skin recovery and help reduce itchiness and inflammation. The linoleic fatty acid content is an essential building block for cellular membrane and structure augmenting skin regeneration and natural hydration levels. Light weight nature sheers into skin without a greasy residue.
Vitamins - Antioxidants / Anti-Inflammatories: Alpha Bisabolol (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 signaling pathways and antioxidant effects, these botanical wound healing agents function as antioxidants and protect the skin cells from oxidation. They are also known to have anti-bacterial & anti-fungal activity.
