Pinus Cembra Wood (Swiss Stone Pine) Extract: Pinus Cembra Wood (Swiss Stone Pine) Extract is a concentrated extract of Swiss Stone Pine, called King of the Alps, and contains pinosylvin. This is known to reduce inflammation through several biological pathways. It calms skin hypersensitivity and reduces local skin redness and color irregularities resulting from inflammation. It also visibly reduces redness and age spots and creates a more even toned skin for a youthful radiance. Pinosylvin is also known to have antioxidant, energizing, radiance, and brightening properties and protects from the effects of environmental stress.
Acetyl hexapeptide-49: Acetyl Hexapeptide-49 can reduce inflammation and relieve itching by inhibiting inflammatory factors, while improving the tingling sensation and soothing the skin. Acetyl Hexapeptide-49 improves the proliferation and differentiation of cells and helps repair the skin barrier. It also has a moisturizing effect, which can increase the water content of the skin and make the skin smooth and elastic. It increases hydration, preventing the skin from flaking, restoring suppleness and softness.
Acetyl heptapeptide-4: Acetyl Heptapeptide-4 is a synthetic peptide that was developed to maintain the skin’s microbiota balance. It promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria acting as a probiotic while boosting skin’s natural defense systems against harmful microbes. Acetyl Heptapeptide-4 promotes a balanced microbiome, it also reduces skin sensitivity and lessens discomfort, scaling, and irritation. It improves the skin’s natural defense systems and improves hydration exposing a healthy, revitalized, and radiant appearance.
Yogurt Extract & Yogurt Powder: Yogurt Extract and Powder are known for their nourishing and moisturizing properties, also containing lactic acid which is used to treat skin irritations and dry skin. This acid helps to remove dead cells from the skin and hence helps in treating acne. Yogurt regulates oil production and has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Since it contains proteins and calcium, it increases elasticity and makes the skin soft and supple and helps to build collagen. Other benefits of yogurt are moisturization, brightening, toning, sun protection, elasticity, wound healing and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Jojoba Esters (Beads): Jojoba Esters (Beads) are the hydrogenation or transesterification product of Jojoba oil. Jojoba Esters are commonly used in cosmetic formulations as an emollient, due to its remarkable similarity to the natural oils produced by the human skin, and its high oxidative stability. Fully hydrogenated Jojoba Esters are most often small beads used to non-abrasively exfoliate the skin. They remove dead skin cells effectively while still allowing the skin underneath to breathe. They are an emollient additive because of its similar consistency to sebum which acts as a protective oily layer on the skin. They aid moisture retention and safeguard skin from infections and are effective in increasing the skin’s firmness.
