Niacinamide: A biologically active form of Vitamin B3 (niacin), essential in cell metabolism and energy production. Niacinamide is a multifunction active ingredient providing multiple benefits for the skin: evens skin tone, reduces the appearance of hyperpigmented spots, reduces pore size and oiliness, improves skin texture, enhances skin barrier function, diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and acts as an energising agent. Due to anti-inflammatory properties, niacinamide is used in the treatment of rosacea and acne.
Vitamin B5: Also known as pantothenic acid. Being an essential constituent of coenzyme A (CoA) metabolic pathway, vitamin B5 regulates epidermal barrier function and keratinocytes differentiation and is thus involved in the normal maintenance of the skin. Shows softening, soothing and clearing properties.
Panthenol: A provitamin of vitamin B5. Used as an emollient due to excellent moisturising and conditioning properties. Clinical studies have shown that panthenol reduces inflammation and itching, provides a soothing effect and promotes wound healing.
Panthenyl Triacetate: A derivative of pantothenic acid. Shows soothing, anti-irritating and wound-healing properties.
Vitamin B6: Also known as pyridoxine, this vitamin reduces excess sebum and helps clear blemishes and areas of oily spots. Shows skin-conditioning properties.
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin): A synthetic form of vitamin B12. Plays an important role in energy production, cell metabolism and DNA repair.
Biotin: Also known as Vitamin B7 or Vitamin H. Improves the natural resistance of skin and provides clearing, soothing and smoothing effect.
Folic acid: Also known as Vitamin B9 or Vitamin M. Promotes the growths of fibroblasts (cells involved in collagen production), prevents DNA damage and enhances DNA repair. Helps combat visible signs of premature skin ageing.
Proprietary Botanical Blend: A unique botanical blend containing 3 fermented plant extracts rich in Vitamin B: Oat (Avena sativa), Rice (Oryza sativa) and Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa). Shows revitalising and soothing properties.
Ribose: A natural sugar molecule obtained from corn seed. By enhancing ATP production, ribose helps rebuild energy levels and provide optimum condition for skin cells to fight signs of ageing and stress. Reduces the appearance of wrinkles, smooths skin surface, improves skin elasticity and visibly revitalises tired and dull skin.
Saccharide isomerate: A plant-derived sugar complex. Shows excellent moisturising and revitalising properties. Boosts hyaluronic acid production to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin smoothness and softness.
Rhamnose: A natural sugar molecule obtained by bacterial fermentation. Inhibits inflammatory mediators and thus helps protect the skin from environmental factors that accelerate premature skin ageing (inflamm-ageing). Reduces skin redness and stimulates the release of β-endorphins to soothe the skin and restore comfort.
Adenosine monophosphate (AMP): A source of intracellular energy. Shows energising, repairing and skin-conditioning properties.
Uracil: One of the four nucleobases of RNA. Helps carry out the synthesis of many enzymes necessary for cell function. Enhances skin revitalisation and repair.
Guanosine: A nucleoside comprising guanine attached to a ribose. Shows anti-inflammatory activity and promotes cell repair.
Yeast: An extract of yeast and a filtrate of the lysate (the solution consisting of the material released from cell lysis; cellular disruption) obtained by the fermentation of yeast (Saccharomyces). Rich in amino acids, essential minerals, beta-glucan and vitamins. Yeast possesses anti-inflammatory, revitalising and protective properties. Increases cell respiration and metabolism, stimulates oxygen consumption and enhances skin repair.
Multi-mineral complex: A powerful complex containing 5 fermented essential minerals: magnesium, zinc, copper, iron and silicon. Helps awaken and revitalise skin through the stimulation of cellular respiration and metabolism and increase of cellular energy levels. Shows anti-inflammatory, anti-glycation and skin-conditioning activity.
Phospholipids: Major building components in the structure of cellular membranes. These natural, skin-identical ingredients demonstrate excellent moisturising, repairing and protective properties.
Urea: An active part of the natural moisturising factors (NMF) in the skin. Acts as excellent humectant and moisturiser.
Glycolipids: Biomimetic lipid molecules with restructuring, repairing and protective properties. Strengthen the barrier function and boost the hydro-retaining capacity of the skin.
Beta-Glucan: A yeast-derived polysaccharide with multiple actions: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing. Enhances natural defence mechanisms, boosts cellular respiration and promotes natural repair process and wound healing.
Ornithine: An amino acid encapsulated in ionosomes. By activation or up-regulation of the transcription factor HIF-1 (Hypoxia Inducible Factor), ornithine restores fatty tissue volume and exhibits a lipofilling-like effect.
Hyaluronic Acid: A full spectrum of different molecular weights (very low, low and medium) of pure hyaluronic acid and niosome-encapsulated hyaluronic acid working in synergy. Shows multiple activities: improves skin moisture, strengthens barrier function, helps to retain and maintain skin elasticity, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and restores skin suppleness.
Sodium Hyaluronate: A salt of hyaluronic acid (HA). HA improves skin moisture, strengthens barrier function, helps to retain and maintain skin elasticity, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and restores skin suppleness.
Irish moss (Chondrus crispus): An extract from red algae (seaweed) rich in polysaccharide carrageenan. Possesses excellent water binding, moisturising, film-forming, soothing and antioxidant properties.
Pomegranate (Punica granatum): Pomegranate seed extract is rich in vitamin C and shows excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, brightening and regenerative properties.
Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis): The juice obtained from the leaf of aloe shows multiple properties: moisturising, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, antioxidant, soothing and wound healing.
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis): Rosemary leaf extract is rich in rosmarinic acid, carnosic acid, caffeic acid, ursolic acid and betulinic acid. Demonstrates multiple beneficial properties: antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-septic, anti-inflammatory, astringent, toning and healing.
Silanols: Derivates of organic silicium. Show excellent restructuring and regenerating properties. Help to ensure optimal skin architecture by stimulating collagen production and enhancing cellular communication between keratinocytes and fibroblasts.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol): A naturally derived vitamin with powerful antioxidant and photoprotective properties. Tocopherol is an excellent moisturiser that helps to reduce water loss and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.
Glycerin: A vegetable-derived molecule naturally present in the skin. Acts an excellent humectant, a substance that attracts moisture from the environment and increases the amount of water in the surface layers of the skin.
Plant-derived esters: A blend of 2 esters (Apricot Kernel Oil Polyglyceryl-6 Esters and Polyglyceryl-10 Dipalmitate) made from raw materials of 100% plant origin. Possesses excellent emollient, skin-conditioning and protective properties.
Leuconostoc/Radish Root: A probiotic derived from the radish root fermented with the lactic acid bacteria, Leuconostoc kimchii. Demonstrates excellent anti-microbial and preserving properties. In addition, it provides moisturising and skin-conditioning benefits.
