ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
7% Glycolic Acid A powerful effective exfoliator for aiding in skin turnover, glycolic acid is the most active and beneficial of alpha-hydroxy acids. It is used to improve skin texture, refine skin tone and even out complexion giving a healthy and natural glow to dull, tired skin.
Multi Fruit Acids A potent combination of naturally occurring fruit acids to gently help exfoliate cells and rejuvenate dull, tired skin.
Trinity Tea Complex A blend of white, red, and green tea bathes the skin in rich antioxidants.
Rosemary & Chamomile A unique set of nature’s own healers help to desensitize irritated skin.
Multifruit® BSC A powerful concentration of five botanical extracts: bilberry, sugar cane, sugar maple, orange, and lemon. These extracts contain several naturally occurring alpha hydroxy acids. Alpha hydroxy acids have been shown to promote smoother, younger looking skin by increasing the rate of cell renewal. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) have been used in skin care for many years. At first, they were used mainly by dermatologists as skin peeling and moisturizing agents; cosmetic companies have since “discovered'' AHAs and their almost miraculous activity and formulate them regularly in their skin care lines. Once blended, the extracts are distilled and produce lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, glycolic acid, and malic acid. These AHAs weaken the bonds that hold dead skin cells together. When the bonds are broken the dead cells can be shed and result in new cell turnover. Multifruit® BSC has maximized the ability to stimulate new cell renewal by 34% and increase cell turnover by 20%.
Symcalmin®Derived from Oat, Avenanthramides significantly help reduce histamine related skin disorders as well as irritation and redness due to treated skin, irritated skin, and sunburned skin. In vitro studies and testing have shown a 30% reduction in histamines, redness and irritation. It has also been found to reduce irritation from AHAs and topical skin treatments.
Symglucan® Derived from Beta-Glucan this skin conditioner can effectively protect against UV-damage, improving extrinsic signs of aging. It can also stimulate fibroblast growth and collagen synthesis and increase moisturizing properties of the skin. In vitro testing has shown Symglucan® to offer a 15% increase in UV protection and a significant increase in fibroblast production resulting in increased collagen synthesis. Studies have also shown that Symglucan® can offer 13% skin penetration. Despite a fairly large molecular size, SymGlucan® penetrated the skin significantly into the stratum corneum and epidermis. Additionally, SymGlucan® offers an exciting new application in a non-invasive treatment of skin wrinkles.
Prodew 400® Provides excellent retaining ability, Prodew 400 consists of 8 types of amino acids as well as sodium PCA and lactic acid. In combination, this blend helps to protect the skin from dryness, it aids in moisturizing the skin and promoting elasticity. The formulation of amino acids is modeled after the skin’s natural amino acids and possesses excellent humectants properties due to the synergistic effect of the sodium PCA and L-Proline thereby increasing the skin’s natural moisture function and showing an 85% increase in the moisturizing effect.
