Active Ingredients

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 Biomimetic Peptide (EGCG - Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate)

• Active constituent of Green Tea - Initiates NRF-2, the master switch for anti-oxidant signalling
• Protects ECM degradation & modulates inflammation
• Shields DNA, membrane integrity & skin structure
• Reduces oxidative stress & lipid peroxidation
• Inhibits melanogenesis & glycation

Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester: Biomimetic lipopeptide – amino acid sequence N-Acetyl-Tyrosyl-Arginyl-Hexadecyl ester (Tyrosine & Arginine)

• Neurotransmitter for relaxation & muscle contraction inhibition
• Aids reduction in expression lines
• Pacifies skin to reduce discomfort caused by environmental aggressors
• β-endorphin and met-enkephalin are neuropeptides involved in the down-regulation of nerve and muscle activity
• Enhances stimulation of the gene expression of POMC (Pro-opiomelanocortin), the precursor of β-endorphin and met-enkephalin
• Signals our skin to relax via the skin nerve cells stimulation of met-enkaphalin – an opioid for relaxing & pain relieving
• Modulates the perception of discomfort in sensitive skins with a low thresh hold tolerance to topical aggressors, chemical stinging, heat, cold & stress
• Skin types under constant assault develop hyper vigilance to free radical penetration resulting in extreme discomfort physically & emotionally
• Claimed to also prevent the onset of wrinkles & expression lines due to its tension relieving properties

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8: Lipopeptide derived from a neuromediator

• Prevents and reverses signs of neurogenic inflammation
• Calms and soothes irritated skin and
• Helps to maintain and restore a normal skin sensitivity threshold
• Restores natural skin defence mechanism & aids barrier repair

Milk Thistle (Silybum Marianum Seed Extract) Extracted utilizing Biomimicry technology

• Phyto-actives maintain their full potency suspended in a nature identical environment – Includes fatty acids including Linoleic Acid
• A complex mixture of polyphenolic molecules including 7 flavonolignans, providing relief for cutaneous discomforts
• Demonstrates the ability to reduce harmful effects of radiation, targeting oxidative stress, inflammation, immune responses, DNA damage & cell proliferation

Hyaluronic Acid – Mid – High Molecular Weight

• Natural Moisturising Factor that attracts + binds up to 1000 X its own weight in moisture
• Plumps surface tissue to alleviate dry, thinning skin
• Assists wound healing + repairs barrier function
• Inhibits Trans Epidermal Water Loss– essential for atopic skins

Hyaluronic Acid - Ultra Low Weight

• Trials indicate a reduction in immune-derived inflammation, improving scaling, erythema & pruritus. Effective Seborrheic Dermatitis Rx
• Biological activity triggers built-in immune defence mechanisms whilst inducing anti-bacterial responses effectively healing skins epithelium
• Penetrates effectively to rebuild + plump deeper layers firming the skins surface
• Replenishes the hydration factors diminished with ageing + sun damage to mimic youthful levels
