Main Components:
Enzyme Protein
A unique blend of all-natural, non-GMO enzymes
that catalyze and control the biochemical reactions that
take place within
living cells. This particular combination of enzymes
softens skin and smoothes fine wrinkles by increasing solubility
of and removal
of skin surface corneocytes. When used in combination
with
conditioning agents it increases exfoliation rates and
renders lines and blemishes
less visible.
Magnesium aspartate (and) zinc gluconate (and) copper gluconate
A multi mineral cocktail comprised of trace
elements known for their actions on the skin. Magnesium encourages
protein synthesis and phosphates transfer. Copper encourages ATP,
or acts as a catalyst for the synthesis of keratin and collagen,
the major structural protein of the epidermis, hair, and nails while acting
as a powerful
cellular
anti free radical agent. Zinc plays a role in the synthesis of DNA
as it helps combat aging by stimulating renewal of the collagen matrix.
Aspartate also plays a significant role in cellular turnover. Through
various biochemical reactions, the aspartate stimulates DNA synthesis
resulting in increased cell renewal. With all three minerals working
in synergy it restores radiant, better tones, and healthier looking
skin. The ideal solution for tired and stressed skin, it supplies
the elements necessary for cell vigor and vitality.
Di (stearyl dimethyl
ammonium hydroxy propyl) lauryl polyglucoside
Naturally
derived from long alky chain sugars, this surfactant is made from
renewable
resources and is an excellent conditioner for the hair and skin.
Unlike harsh surfactants which irritate the skin, this ingredient
is extremely mild yet increases foam volume and density in many
products. Independent studies found this surfactant to be more
mild than traditional
baby care shampoos.
Centipeda cunnighamii extract
The extract is processed without the use of alcohol or solvents. The extract
contains potent anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties as well as
soothing anti irritant benefits. A series of clinical tests conducted at
the Wellington School of Medicine demonstrated that the anti-inflammatory
action was up to thirty times more effective than standard aspirin. The extract
also produced 50% more stimulatory growth in skin cell fibroblasts, which
is the foundation of cell renewal. As early as 1886, this extract has been
recognized in Australia for its medicinal uses.
Candeia (Vanillosmopsis erythropappa)
This Brazilian plant extract is used primarily as an anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant,
and anti-bacterial in sensitive skin preparations. Candeia has three times
the purity than that of Chamomile and is the preferred active ingredient
for protection against the recurring stresses of the environment on the
skin.
Xylitylglucoside anhydroxylitol xylitol
A
naturally-derived ingredient from the sugars found in wheat and
wood
cellulose. It has been shown to dramatically improve the
epidermal water content by increasing the skin’s dermal water
reservoirs (GAGs: glycosaminoglycans). Stimulation of GAGs synthesis
(hyaluronic
acid and chondroitine sulphate) on fibroblasts is significant.
Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) is decreased as well. It
also shows improvement
of the barrier function increasing ceramide synthesis. The
effects are shown to be immediate and long-term.
Candida bombicola (yeast) and glucose and methyl rapeseedate
ferment
A yeast extract, glucose (from wheat) & sophorolipid derived
from fatty acids from rapeseed (canola) that has substantial anti-microbial & anti-bacterial,
and anti-inflammatory properties. Also, a bio-surfactant
from a non genetically modified micro-organism produced
by fermentation.
