Supporting these 3 fundamental areas of concern requires the intricate framework of key actives that are suspended in a luxurious emollient platform, executing delivery to the critical skin matrix

Key Actives

Oligopeptide-3 (bFGF) – Medically engineered Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor

• Recent scientific research suggests that basic Fibroblast Growth Factors regulate a broad spectrum of biological functions, essential in the regeneration of key dermal proteins and connective tissues within the skin
• Medically engineered bFGF work by sending bioidentical signaling directly to the dermal fibroblast cells, thereby amplifying cellular activity and accelerating rejuvenation of the epidermal and dermal tissues
• Stimulates mitogenic activity towards dermal fibroblasts, thereby initiating cellular proliferation, migration, differentiation, growth and maturation in dermal fibroblast cells

SNAP 8 - Acetyl Octapeptide-3 Amino-peptide that blocks transmitter signals from facial muscles to the skin

• SNAP 8 is a mimic of the N-terminal end of SNAP 25. It competes with SNAP 25 for a position in the SNARE (SNAp Receptor) complex, an essential process for neurotransmitter delivery.
• By modulating its formation & destabilising this complex the release of neurotransmitters is inefficient, weakening muscle contraction
• Reduces repeated facial movements preventing the formation of lines & wrinkles
• Maintains youthful structural fibres of collagen, elastin & packing of the lipid matrix
• Maximum wrinkle reduction value found with usage of 10% SNAP 8 was 63.13%
• 98% wrinkle depth reduction after 28 days with 10% SNAP (applied twice daily)

Retinaldehyde 0.05%

• Works like prescription A without the side effects – outstanding compliancy rate
• Skins natural storage form of A – non irritating – epidermis not compromised
• Stored in the fat cell – converted to Retinoic Acid within the skin – prolonged vitamin release
• Never found in the blood stream – safe during pregnancy
• Physiologically alters damaged DNA – new cells replicate in healthier state
• Normalises hyperkeratinisation – reducing congestion in ACNE & ROSACEA sufferers
• New collagen production at 3 months – creates volume in dermal tissue
• Rebuilds damage to structural fibres - plumps scar tissue & lines
• Compresses distended vessels – damaged vascular network less visible
• Normalises over active melanocytes – minimising hyperpigmentation
• Regulates sebaceous activity – reducing oil output
• Reconditions the skin to manufacture Glycosaminoglycans & NMF’s

Niacinamide 2% – Vitamin B3

• Repairs barrier function – reducing sensitivity
• Potent anti-inflammatory – calming atopic skin disorders
• Inhibits Melanosome transfer to Keratinocyte – normalising hyperpigmentation
• Maintains surveillance function of Langerhan Cells during UV exposure – reducing tumour formation
• Regulates moisture levels – over active sebaceous activity slowed – hydration levels restored
• Delivery mechanism for other nutrients

D-Panthenol 2% – 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 & fine lines
• Revitalises & aids healing processes by encouraging growth of new epithelial cells
• Regulates moisture levels – over active 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

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate 5%

• Water Soluble, non-irritating, stable derivative of Vitamin C
• Enzymatically converted into L-ascorbic within the skin
• Boosts collagen synthesis
• Suppresses melanin production, inhibiting further pigmentation reducing existing uneven pigment
• Ideal for sensitive skin types
• Protects the skin against oxidative stress caused by sun, pollution & heat
• Boosts radiance and reduces signs of ageing

Sodium PCA

• Natural Moisturising Factor – providing long term correction to dehydration

Physiological hydrators offer long term restoration to treat NMF + LIPID deficiencies

Olive Complex: It is a natural complex of fatty acids, chemically similar to 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

• 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, skin hydration and elegant skin feel
• 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
• Created to support green chemistry philosophy with cutting-edge technology, making it possible to craft products with superior function & texture

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

Jojoba Seed Oil: Non comedogenic, biomimetic esters that closely resemble human sebum. Anti-bacterial & 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

Allantoin – Anti-irritant, wound healing, increases cell proliferation, softens corneocytes, slows dehydration, inhibits TEWL (trans epidermal water loss) Beneficial for those with compromised immune systems, wounds, burns, eczema & other inflammatory skin disorders

Lactic Acid 1.6% – Hydrating Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that naturally exists within the skin. Gently aids removal of dead skin cells to decongest, clarify & aid uneven pigmentation
