1-2 pumps AM &/or PM. Can be applied as STEP 2 if active serums cannot be applied.

 

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 Biomimetic Peptide (EGCG - Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate) Active constituent of Green Tea - Initiates NRF-2, the master switch for antioxidant signalling. Protects ECM degradation and modulates inflammation, shields DNA membrane integrity and skin structure. Reduces oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. Inhibits melanogenesis and glycation.

Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester Biomimetic lipopeptide Amino acid sequence N-Acetyl-Tyrosyl-Arginyl-Hexadecyl ester (Tyrosine & Arginine). Neurotransmitter for relaxation and muscle contraction inhibition. Aids reduction in expression lines. Pacifies skin to reduce discomfort caused by environmental aggressors. β-endorphin and met-enkephalin are neuropeptides involved in the downregulation of nerve and muscle activity. Enhances stimulation of the gene expression of POMC (Pro-opiomelanocortin), the precursor of β-endorphin and met-enkephalin. Signals our skin to relax via the skin nerve cells stimulation of met-enkaphalin – an opioid for relaxing and pain relieving. Modulates the perception of discomfort in sensitive skins with a low thresh hold tolerance to topical aggressors, chemical stinging, heat, cold and stress. Skin types under constant assault develop hyper vigilance to free radical penetration resulting in extreme discomfort physically and emotionally. Reduces the unpleasant sensations of sensitive skin associated with hyperactivity of the somatosensory system. Claimed to also prevent the onset of wrinkles and expression lines due to its tension relieving properties.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8 Lipopeptide derived from a neuromodulator – amino acid sequence N-(1-oxohexadecyl)-L-histidyl-D-phenylalanyl-L-argininamide. Prevents and reverses signs of neurogenic inflammation, calms and soothes irritated skin and helps to maintain and restore a normal skin sensitivity threshold. Restores natural skin defence mechanism & aids barrier repair.

Milk Thistle (Silybum Marianum Seed Extract) Extracted utilizing Biomimicry technology. Phyto-actives maintain their full potency suspended in a nature identical environment – Includes fatty acids including Linoleic Acid. A complex mixture of polyphenolic molecules including 7 flavonolignans, providing relief for cutaneous discomforts. Demonstrates the ability to reduce harmful effects of radiation, targeting oxidative stress, inflammation, immune responses, DNA damage and cell proliferation.

Biomimetic Phospholipid Essential structural component of cell membrane. Fortifies barrier function to resist TEWL for optimal hydration and reduction of microbial aggressors that can cause infection and inflammatory immune responses. Regulates specific genes and pathways that are responsible for cell regeneration, keratinocyte differentiation and proliferation, skin tissue hydration and inflammation. Augments skin homeostasis bringing skin back into healthy balance.

Hyaluronic Acid – Mid – High Molecular Weight Natural Moisturizing Factor that attracts and binds up to 1000 X its own weight in moisture. Plumps surface tissue to alleviate dry, thinning skin, assists wound healing and repairs barrier function, inhibiting Trans Epidermal Water Loss.

Hyaluronic Acid - Low Molecular Weight Trials indicate a reduction in immune-derived inflammation, improving scaling, erythema and pruritus. Effective Seborrheic Dermatitis treatment. Biological activity triggers built-in immune defense mechanisms whilst inducing anti-bacterial responses effectively healing skins epithelium. Penetrates effectively to rebuild and plump deeper layers firming the skins surface. Replenishes the hydration factors diminished with ageing and sun damage to mimic youthful levels.

L22™ Biomimetic Lipid Composition Jojoba Oil/Macadamia Seed Oil Esters, Squalene, 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. 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 promoting natural hydration levels. It is a natural complex of fatty acids, chemically like the lipidic composition of the skin surface Composition: Oleic 55 - 83% | Palmitic 7.5 - 20% | Linoleic 3.5 - 13.5% | Stearic 0.5 – 5% | Linolenic max 0.8 - 1.2 = Skin Composition: Oleic 30 - 35% | Palmitic 5% | Linoleic 3.5 - 13.5% | Stearic 20 -28% | Linolenic max 0.8 - 1.2.

Jojoba Seed Oil Non comedogenic, biomimetic esters that closely resemble human sebum. Anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory defence against invading micro-organisms. Repairs protective acid mantle – barrier. Long term correction is induced with ingredients that occur naturally in the skin providing calibration & optimal function. The skin learns to rehydrate itself again - Promoting less dependence on extra products.

Chamomile Flower (Co2) Extract High grade composition maintains potent anti-inflammatory, healing, soothing and vasoconstrictor properties assisting Eczema, Psoriasis, Rosacea and sensitive skins.

Cucumber Seed Oil Detoxifies the skin due to its proteolytic enzymes. Soothes, reducing inflammation and moisturises.

Organic Aloe Vera Potent anti-inflammatory wound healing properties (Contains Vitamin B complex, Folic Acid, Vitamin C and Beta-Carotene - a precursor of vitamin A). Assists wound healing by improving blood circulation through the area and preventing cell death around a wound. Research indicates that aloe gel has properties that are harmful to certain types of bacteria and fungi.
