Glossary of Ingredients

Algae Peptides

Moisturizing complex from sea algae. This nutrient enriched extract contains the amino acid Hydroxyproline, the building block of collagen. Application of Algae Peptides makes skin grow its own collagen at a faster rate.

Aloe

A rich emollient containing hundreds of enzymes and vitamins. Known to promote healing of skin due to its effective cellular renewal properties.

Alpha Lipoic Acid

400 times the strength of vitamin C, the particle of this anti-oxidant is small enough to penetrate to the mitochondria of the cell. Protects the inside of the cell where the cell's energy is produced.

Argireline

A hexapeptide that reduces the depth of wrinkles caused by facial expression, especially around the eyes and across the forehead.

Arnica

An anti-bacterial ingredient that is renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties.

Colhibin

Derived from rice protein, this unique ingredient prevents collagen breakdown, delaying aging of the skin.

Copper

Stimulated enzymes to help build new elastin and collagen. Also aids in the production of Keratin in the epidermis which leads to improved texture of the skin.

DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol)

Topical agent that can help firm sagging skin when applied by thickening muscle mass.

Elhibin

Soy protein that prevents elastin breakdown. Topical application is shown to improve elasticity of the skin.

Glycolic Acid

Exfoliator that removes dead cell surface, clearing away debris that accentuates fine lines and wrinkles. Will also minimize the appearance of pores.

Green Tea Extract

Anti-Oxidant that helps protect cells against free radical damage. Has been shown to prevent melanoma.

Hyaluronic Acid

Collagen and Elastin supporter. This is a natural component of the skin with the ability to hold 1000 times its weight in water, it will help skin maintain necessary moisture levels.

Lactic Acid

An exfoliator that helps reduce wrinkles by speeding cell turn over. New collagen and elastin will be stimulated increasing skin firmness and will leave the skin more vibrant and will improve the skins texture.

Lavender Oil

A natural astringent that has anti-bacterial properties and will reduce inflammation.

Magnesium Aspartate

Will help to re-mineralize and soothe the skin.

Panthenol

A vitamin B Complex Factor. When applied it is converted to antithetic acid which then becomes and important part of the compound Coenzyme A, which is important to cellular metabolism.

Retinol

Topical vitamin A, it is shown to increase cell turnover so dull surface cells are shed more quickly. It thickens the epidermis, improves skin texture and elasticity, and evens out skin tone.

Salicylic Acid

A Beta-Hydroxy that will gently exfoliate dead cell debris and smooth the skins surface.

Sphingolipids

Water-trapped molecules that are plentiful in young, healthy skin. As we age, our skin looses its ability to produce Sphingolipids, so they must be replenished topically. They will seal in moisture and give skin a healthy texture. Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Tocopherol Acetate

Natural vitamin E, an anti-oxidant, is essential for maintaining the activities of enzymes in the cells. It protects skin tissue from damage by pollutants and is a powerful free radical scavenger. A dynamic weapon against premature aging and to combat wrinkles.

Zinc Oxide (Micronized)

This active ingredient is a natural sunscreen. It provides a high degree of UV absorption in both the UVA and UVB ranges. Protection in both ranges is necessary to photocarcinogenesis.
