Niacinamide

(Niacinamide) - (znany też jako witamina B3)

on the one hand, it retains water in the epidermis, and on the other, it regulates the work of sebaceous glands and epidermis keratosis. Illuminates the skin, makes it elastic and smoothes it. It plays an important role in the synthesis of amino acids and nucleic acids, which in the next stage stimulates the formation of new collagen and elastin. It has a positive effect on the level of skin hydration. It helps in the formation of ceramides and lipids, which are an important component of the skin's protective layer. Thanks to it, it does not lose its moisture and is more resistant to harmful external factors. It reduces the visibility of pores, making the skin smoother. In addition, it prevents discoloration and brightens the existing ones. It inhibits the synthesis of melanin - the skin pigment responsible for the creation of dark pigmentation spots.

This blend of beneficial ingredients makes marula oil protect the skin against the negative effects of UV radiation.

Wheat germ oil 

(Triticum Vulgare Germ Oil)

has soothing properties. It is a rich source of vitamin E, ceramides, lecithin and essential, unsaturated fatty acids. Due to the high content of ceramides, it has a conditioning effect on the skin, delaying the effects of aging and improving its hydration. In addition, vitamin E has an antioxidant effect and has the ability to scavenge free radicals.

Chia seed oil

(Salvia Hispanica Seed Oil)

rich in omega-3 fatty acids, nourishing oil, improves skin elasticity, slows down the deepening of fine lines and prevents the formation of new ones.

Macadamia nut oil 

(Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil)

nourishes and regenerates the skin. It prevents the formation of wrinkles. It protects against the negative influence of external factors. It soothes irritations and restores the natural hydro-lipid coat of the skin. It has a positive effect on the elasticity and firmness of the skin. It is so gentle that it can be successfully applied to the skin under the eyes. Additionally, it counteracts the harmful influence of environmental pollutants on the skin.

Progeline ™ Peptide 

(Glycerin, Aqua, Dextran, Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2)

A biomimetic peptide that modulates the synthesis of progerin, which is involved in the aging process of the skin. It reduces the visibility of wrinkles, increases the firmness, elasticity, viscoelasticity and the skin's ability to return to its original state. It increases collagen synthesis and inhibits the production of enzymes responsible for its degradation. Provides essential nutrients to the deep layers of the skin. It has a long-lasting effect, as not only is it able to rebuild the structure of the skin, but above all it stimulates its cells to renew, and as a result, they are motivated to work independently.

Progerine

also called Laminate A. It is a protein that contributes to the aging of the skin. Present in dermis fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Its synthesis is counteracted by the Progeline ™ peptide, slowing down skin aging.

UV rays 

ultraviolet radiation (types: UVA / UVB).

UVA radiation constitutes 95% of the sun's UV radiation that reaches the earth. UV is primarily the main cause of the formation of free radicals that lead to photoaging of the skin. Thanks to them, fibroblasts disappear, which slows down the process of collagen production, which is responsible for the density, firmness and elasticity of the skin. In addition, elastin fibers are impaired, thanks to which the skin is elastic and stretchy. The effect of damage to collagen and elastin fibers is the loss of firmness and sagging of the skin, the appearance of furrows, wrinkles and drooping of the face oval.

SKINectura™

Extract from the Australian plant called kangaroo paw.  

It stimulates the secretion of a protein called tenaazine in the skin and stimulates the synthesis of proteins responsible for restoring skin firmness and elasticity. It improves the structure of the dermis. It has been proven in research that this extract reduces the number, length and depth of wrinkles. It improves the smoothness and reduces sagging of the skin (the effects are visible after 28 days). It also gives a quick lifting effect and restores a youthful appearance. Its action is immediate and long-term.

Vegetable squalane

(Squalane)

an ingredient of natural origin, obtained from sugar cane. Thanks to its molecular structure similar to natural human sebum, it perfectly penetrates the skin, rebuilding its hydrolipid layer. It is a natural antioxidant. It gives the skin softness and elasticity (softness. It facilitates the penetration of active substances into the skin, making the action of the cosmetic more intense.

Oxidative stress 

plays a key role in the aging process. It is essentially an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the antioxidant system that can counteract or neutralize the harmful effects.

Tocopherol

(witamina E) 

a substance with antioxidant (antioxidant) properties, inhibits skin aging processes caused by e.g. UV radiation or cigarette smoke. It is an excellent factor inhibiting radical lipid oxidation in the epidermis and dermis. Vitamin E has the ability to integrate into the lipid structures of cell membranes and the intercellular cement of the stratum corneum, thanks to which it strengthens the epidermal barrier. Strengthening the epidermal barrier not only hinders the penetration of foreign substances and prevents irritation, but also inhibits TEWL (transepidermal water loss), thus improving skin hydration. It strengthens the walls of blood vessels and improves blood circulation in the skin.

Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) 

transepidermal water loss. Parameter defining the amount of water lost by the epidermis per unit time as a result of the evaporation process. It is important for assessing skin hydration.

Acmella Oleracea extract 

It is considered a natural alternative to Botox. Contains spilanthol - a substance belonging to the group of alkylamides. Applied externally, it reduces muscle tension, thus contributing to the reduction of facial wrinkles. It reorganizes the structure of the dermis in order to firm and thicken it. It ensures its smoothness and elasticity.
