| Seeking evidence? |
| There’s no doubt that skincare savvy consumers are demanding more proof behind the claims of their products. More discerning about the ingredients being used, they’re focused on products that offer professional and proven results.
So this month, delve deeper to find out more about the high-science ingredients we can offer. |
Proven Peptides
Peptides have long been known as powerful skincare ingredients that boost skin’s physiological functions.
ChroNOline™ boosts the production of key components at the dermo-epidermal junction for the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, while Progeline™ modulates a cell senescence marker called progerin and clinically improves the appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles.
Looking for more natural peptides?
| Aqualicia® Bio, made of peptides from Acacia macrostachya seeds sustainably sourced in Burkina Faso, controls water loss and improves cohesion of the corneum and granulosum layers. |
The microalgae peptide Algaenia® modulates inflammation and provides a soothing cocoon for the skin.
Actimp® Powder Bio from peptides of Lupin, helps stimulate expression of the essential components of the dermo-epidermal junction and inhibits metalloproteinases 1, 9, 3 responsible for the breakdown of collagen.
Effipulp® is a concentrate of peptides from avocado pulp to stimulate the endogenic synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid and increase epidermal volume.
The Biotech Movement
Ingredients from biotechnology deliver both efficacy and sustainability.
- AECTive®balances the skin microbiota to help prevent acute skin stresses and improves the appearance of acne prone skin.
- EquiBiotics™ LRh naturally supports the resident microbiota by preventing the colonisation of pathogens and reduces TEWL, redness and wrinkle depth whilst improving elasticity and firmness.
- TechnoHYAL HyaPearl allows sodium hyaluronate to be used in anhydrous applications such as lip balms for moisturising and plumping effects in as little as 30 minutes.
The Power of Antioxidants
Bioactive Totarol™ is a highly potent antioxidant (7 times more potent than vitamin E) and antibacterial able to fight pathogenic bacteria and free radicals.
Try EUK-134™, also known as the molecule of youth, a powerful free radical scavenger which helps prevent premature ageing, reduces UV damage, protects and repairs DNA.
Hitting the Target
Vitamins for Skin
Brighten and hydrate skin with Vegan DDS Niacinamide.
This DDS delivery system not only provides protection, it also enables up to twelve times the amount of active ingredient to reach the interior of the skin compared to when applied freely.
Hit the Spot
For targeted action on acne, try one of our blemish busting favourites Dendriclear™ or Pixalia®.
