Maintains surveillance function of Langerhans Cells during UV exposure – reducing tumour formation Stimulates collagen synthesis & fibroblast production – increases elasticity & firmness, reducing fine lines Regulates moisture levels – overactive sebaceous activity slowed. Increases ceramide and free fatty acid production – hydration levels restored – inhibits TEWL Delivery mechanism for other nutrients.

Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate (Pre|Probiotic) Cutting edge technology deploys antimicrobial peptide (Bacteriocin). Advanced oligosaccharide fructans are supplemented into Lactobacillus acidophilus growth media providing potent antibacterial activity. With a Lysozyme addition ensures release of filtered pure pre|probiotics. Reduces erythema, itching and flaking to aid reversal of damaged skin. Balances healthy microbiome for optimal hydration and recalibrated age resistance.

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.

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.

Phospholipids | Sphingolipids Plant-derived ceramides in lamellar structure – liposomal delivery. An epidermis that is intact at the outermost boundary is crucial for a well-functioning physiological interaction between the individual skin layers. Aids restoration of the lipid barrier of dry and fissured skin conditions. Ensures a balanced water content of the skin. Intercellular lipid matrix represents the mortar between the corneocytes (bricks) & is made up of the following: 50% Ceramides (most important structural elements of the lipid barrier) 25% Free fatty acids, 20% Cholesterol, 5% Cholesterol Sulfate Amino acids.

Beta Glucan Naturally occurring polysaccharides derived from oats and grains. Aids healing reduces pain and inflammation Increases macrophage activity that reduces scar tissue formation. Allows better penetration of actives to the deeper layers. Beta glucan is a polysaccharide, a long chain of sugar molecules found naturally in oats, yeast, and mushrooms. When applied topically, it works on two levels. On the skin’s surface, it forms a thin, breathable film over the outermost layer that locks in moisture without feeling heavy or occlusive. Below the surface, it does something more interesting: it interacts directly with immune cells, skin cells, and connective tissue cells through a receptor called dectin-1. That receptor is the key to most of beta glucan’s benefits. When beta glucan binds to dectin-1 on fibroblasts (the cells responsible for producing structural proteins), it stimulates collagen synthesis. More collagen means firmer, more elastic skin over time. The same receptor exists on immune cells like macrophages, where beta glucan triggers a cascade of repair signals, recruiting cells to damaged areas, clearing debris, and promoting the growth of new tissue and blood vessels.

D-Panthenol – Vitamin B5 Vital nourishment that adds moisture, maintains elasticity & strength of barrier function, anti-inflammatory – calming atopic skin disorders by reducing oxidative stress & environmental toxins, smooths roughness, irritation and fine lines, revitalises & aids healing processes by encouraging growth of new epithelial cells. Regulates moisture levels – overactive sebaceous activity slowed – hydration levels restored. Nutrients promote luminous, even toned skin by managing healthy levels of fibroblasts, prolific in skins connective tissue defying ageing.

Low Molecular Weight Marine Collagen Oligopeptides (high content of essential amino acids) endowed with high capacity to interact with skin, similar amino acid content to the collagen contained in skin. These are our skins fundamental building blocks for structural support (collagen, elastin) inhibiting wrinkle formation and maintaining youthful volume. Contributes to production of Collagen type 1: the major protein in the dermis. It is arranged in fibres creating strength and resistance – increased by 89% in 72 hours. Stimulates Collagen type III: commonly found alongside type I and plays an important role during skin repair - increased by 67% in 72 hours. Stimulates Hyaluronic Acid Activation - 25% increase in 72 hours.

Manuka Honey Potent anti-microbial properties due to its naturally occurring content of Methylglyoxal. It's high composition of fructose, glucose, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, enzymes and minerals has been shown to improve skin wound healing (primarily through strong anti-bacterial properties). Also acts as an emollient and humectant with soothing skin conditioning properties that helps skin repair itself and prevent infections.

L-Arginine Hydration and Skin Barrier Support- L-arginine acts as a humectant, drawing water into the skin and helping maintain moisture levels. It supports the skin’s natural barrier, reducing dryness and water loss, which is essential for healthy, resilient skin Studies have shown that topical formulations containing L-arginine can improve skin hydration and enhance barrier function.

Sodium PCA Natural Moisturising Factor Providing long term correction to dehydration. Physiological hydrators offer long term restoration to treat NMF and LIPID deficiencies.

Sea buckthorn CO2 Oil Potent anti-inflammatory containing omegas 3+6 & vitamins E + A. Used to treat radiation burns.

Vitamins / Antioxidants / Anti-Inflammatories- Alpha Bisabolol (Pure Chamomile Extract) D-Alpha Tocopherol (Pure Vitamin E) Rosemary - With an abundance of flavonoids (phytonutrients or plant chemicals) that provide remedial benefits through cell signalling pathways and antioxidant effects, these botanical wound healing agents function as antioxidants and protect the skin cells from oxidation.
