The oil of the acai berry is rich in essential fatty acids such as omega 6 and 9, minerals and vitamins and also has some very interesting aspects for the care of our skin. For example, it protects the skin effectively against moisture loss. As an anti-oxidant, it neutralises free radicals, protects the skin from the effects of oxidative stress and therefore strengthens the natural protective functions. The skin is soothingly pampered and revitalised. Silky suppleness, elasticity and resilience ensure a radiant appearance.

100 % natural bamboo and ecocert compliant. Has no irritation or allergy potential. Absorbs toxins, harmful substances and impurities. Removes dead skin particles and helps clean pores.

Contain highly purified glycolic and salicylic acid that smooth the surface of the skin, alle­viate fine lines and wrinkle, make the skin more receptive and stimulate cell regeneration.

The argan tree is a member of the Sapotaceae family, same as the shea tree. The oil is extracted from the small kernels in the stones of the roughly plum-sized yellowish fruits. It supports skin functions, optimises the skin‘s own barrier function, with an antioxidant and disinfectant effect, strengthens resilience and moisturises. It boosts circulation, replenishes dry skin and stimulates/rejuvenates cells, improving skin elasticity.

F

Antimicrobial, inhibits sweat-decomposing bacteria and thus prevents unpleasant odours.

A ferment extract with two peptides (tripeptide-10 citrulline, tripeptide-1) and two proteins (wheat germ protein, soy protein), which enhances the synthesis of collagen (the synthesis of the collagen varieties I, III and IV), to increase the level of the collagen, which declines or is lost due to the aging process. It ensures improved adhesion of the collagen fibres, protects against the reduction of collagen, maintains the collagen level in balance, restricts the glycation, the irreversible accumulation of which causes the loss of skin elasticity, and thereby minimises age-related changes.

French seawater powder
Seawater powder is obtained through spray drying seawater from salt evaporation ponds. With seawater powder, the properties and quality of a seawater from French coasts can be used around the world.

Boosts natural short- and long-term moisturisation, strengthens the tissue, restores skin elasticity, minimises lines and wrinkles and makes skin feel soft and delicate. HyaCare = sodium hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronan, a glycosaminoglycan. It is the result of a fermentation process.

Intensive moisture, protects against moisture loss, smoothes and firms, high doses of hyaluronic acid developed the ability to spiral smuggle drugs into the skin.

Consists of molecules sized 1,500 KD and larger, which cannot penetrate the barrier of the skin. As it evaporates, it fuses with the skin’s own keratin to create a film that hydrates and improves elasticity. Macromolecular hyaluronic acid has anti-inflammatory properties.

Consists of molecules sized 50 KD and smaller. It ensures that the connective tissue of the skin stores water. This additional hydration makes the skin firmer and more supple while visibly decreasing wrinkles. The use of small-molecule hyaluronic acid ensures that moisture is stored in the skin for a long time.

It is made from a special type of algae – Laminaria algae that occurs in a particular region of the west coast of England. HyanifyTM is a booster of the skin‘s hyaluronic – an important matrix substance whose imbalance leads to dehydration of age and volume loss. Special effect shows up upon the reduction of the nasolabial folds. One could speak of a “Hyaluronfiller”. The volume of the skin increases. The moisture supply is significantly improved. The depth of wrinkles is reduced. The skin looks firmer and smoother again.

21Trans-Dermal® works with targeted efficacy, using the Thermus Thermophilus Ferment to ameliorate IR-induced cell damage and prevent further damage caused by IR-triggered oxidative stress. This ferment weakens inflammatory responses in the skin and has the ability to develop detoxification properties in a proportional reaction to any increase in temperature, which in turn also counteracts any temperature-caused cell damage. A further benefit is improved hydration of the skin.

A complex of ATP, algin and papaya that brings an immediate, sustained and lasting improvement in the skin’s moisture balance. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) regulates the water balance in the epidermis. Algin builds a pleasant moisture film on the upper dermal layer that safeguards the skin against transepidermal water loss. Papain from the papaya fruit has a gentle exfoliating effect that creates a finer complexion and improves the receptivity of the skin for all other active substance formulations. Cell metabolism is stimulated, promoting cell regeneration.

Papaya contains three powerful antioxidant molecules: vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene. All of them are well-known for their efficacy to fight against skin aging. These active molecules could also help to heal wounds and to reduce black spots.

Smoothes, balances.

Clays have always been used by people to cleanse and beautify the skin. Their remarkable properties are used to disinfect, soothe pain and even heal wounds. Pink clay is a combination of kaolin and red clay. Kaolin is a highly refined white clay of ultrafine particle size and high brightness. Red clay is mostly composed a illite which is an iron rich mineral material.

The patented dermis activator QT 40® with “lifting effect” is based on the core Ulva lactuca seaweed. This multicellular green alga contains a lot of magnesium, calcium as well as vitamins A, B12 and C. In addition, it is very rich in water-soluble polysaccharides, which strengthen the extracellular matrix of the deep skin layers and thus improve skin elasticity and firmness by about 20 %. By increasing the body’s own hyaluronic/collagen synthesis, wrinkles are plumped up from the inside, the chin line is tightened by approx. 10 % and volume loss is significantly reduced.

Antibacterial, inhibits unpleasant odours.

Regenerative 3D matrix, ReNew peptides penetrate into the skin and form a 3D network. As a regenerative matrix, they stimulate cell proliferation and – differentiation. Simultaneously activates the synthesis of the ECM (Extra Cellular Matrix) fibres. Under natural physiological conditions, ReNew 21 forms an independent 3D network that remains stable for weeks.

This red algae extract inhibits lipogenesis, reduces fluid retention in connective tissues and stimulates breakdown of fats. After 2 weeks of regular use, a firmer skin structure will already be visible. After 4 weeks of regular, weekly use, it will be possible to detect a reduction, for example in the circumference of the thigh.

A new peptide formulation in order to reduce most visible signs of skin aging. Syn®-Hycan has a dual effect. It boosts the skin‘s own production of hyaluronan which binds skin moisture, and protects and structures skin collagens and the skin cells of the dermis. The replace the low hyaluronan level (e.g.) in mature skin which loses its ability to bind water.
