Sea Cucumber Collagen
What is it?
Sea Cucumber, en Español 'Bescher, also known as Holothurians, are cylindrical marine invertebrates or 'echinoderms.' The algae they consume is the source of their collagen-containing, nutrient-rich & bio-active-abundant profiles. Our primary ingredient Sea Cucumber Collagen is overflowing with impressive and unbeatable benefits. This wild-harvested ingredient, as the serum superstar, is well-deserving of first place.
What does it do?
Sea Cucumber Collagen is a unique source of marine collagen that repairs skin collagen and elastin protein fibers and produces a significant thickening of the outer skin surface (epidermis) and enhances the homogeneous distribution of collagen fibers in the dermis, by promoting an increase in the number and activity of skin fibroblast (anti-aging effect).
Sea Cucumber Collagen is composed of echinoderm mutable collagenous tissue (MCT) a unique extracellular matrix with high similarity to human connective tissue and provides the optimal environment for new collagen biosynthesis, cell growth, and tissue repair.
Sea Cucumber Collagen essential amino acid composition shows key amino acids for preventing skin aging, provides better moisturizing properties, sustained firming effect and creates a suitable environment for cells to regenerate.
Orange Stem Cells
What is it?
Plant stem cells are extracted from a plant’s roots, fruit or leaves. Specifically orange stem cells, provide a unique nutrients, antioxidants, and skin-loving properties. Most notably, a particular type of antioxidizing agent, kinetin, a plant-based growth hormone, is found in extremely high concentrations in citrus (yep, oranges!). Read on to see what this means for your oh-so-precious visage.
What does it do?
Your skin undergoes constant cell renewal. These anti-aging properties in orange stem cells all exist thanks to the abundance of antioxidants such as polyphenols, flavonoids, peptides and phenolic acids that your skin will drink right up. Kinetin, specifically, protects the protein and nucleic acids in our skin from oxidants, thus enabling cells to excrete free radicals to avoid UVR, oxidization, genetic mutation, pigmentation and those wretched wrinkles.
Clearly, this little round fruit has all-round benefits!
Matrixyl 3000™
What is it?
Matrixyl 3000™ is a peptide synthesized by Sederma Inc. France composed of dual matrikines known as palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 (Pal-GHK and Pal-GQPR) - Big words for tiny amino acids that produce even BIGGER results. Think of matrikines as little messengers that tell our skin to restructure and repair, only, in Matrixyl 3000™, the matrikine duo is synthetic. Why not natural, you ask? Because it has been developed in order to mimic these naturally produced matrikines and their many properties due to the fact that natural peptides in the skin have an annoying tendency to degrade with age! (like everything, *sigh*)
What does it do?
Prepare for some serious skin transformation through increased collagen-production, rapid skin cell turnover, and renewal, anti-inflammation, skin pigmentation reduction, UVR protection, as well as the generation of increased blood flow to the skin to generate quicker healing.
Matrixyl 3000™ will put you well on the path to achieving those anti-aging and wrinkle-free results of your dreams!
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
What is it?
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan (yep, the same species of amino acid as those found in the sea cucumber collagen AND the peptides in Matrixyl 3000). Due to its unique structure, it has the mind-boggling ability to exponentially expand by absorbing water up to 1000x its original volume!
In cosmetics, HA is synthesized and reinforced in order to replace and BOOST the HA that our skin otherwise naturally contains but loses in the dreaded aging process.
What does it do?
Hyaluronic Acid encourages skin cell growth and renewal, provides anti-inflammatory benefits, and free radical protection, moisturizes, and also supports collagen production to maintain skin health, elasticity, and turgidity (bounce.)
Hydrated skin, here you come!
