FORMULA HIGHLIGHTS
Trifluoroacetyl-Tripeptide-2 (TT2) — TT2 helps the synthesis of proteoglycans in cell-matrix interactions along with synedcan1. It also prevents progerin aggregates, which disfigure the nucleolus of cells, to delay premature aging. Proteoglycans are a major component of the extracellular matrix (or filler substance) between cells. They form large complexes both to other proteoglycans, hyaluronan, and fibers such as collagen. They are also involved in binding actions with sodium, potassium, calcium, and water, and regulate the movement of molecules through the matrix. They are very important in the activities and stability of proteins and signaling molecules in normal cell activity.
Beta-Glucan — Beta-glucan is a hydrating polysaccharide that nourishes Langerhans cells. It is an immune-boosting active chemical extracted from the cell walls of certain yeasts. On its own, beta-glucan is a film-forming humectant and anti-inflammatory ingredient that protects from UV-induced erythema and environmental damage. However, when utilized by the Langerhans cells, beta-glucan reinforces the skin’s immune function and strengthens the defense system and response capabilities. It also aids wound healing, repairs signs of extrinsic aging, hydrates, maintains cell health, and restores barrier function.
Laminaria Digitata (Oarweed) — A type of brown seaweed that is hygroscopic, meaning it draws water from the environment to help restore moisture levels in the skin. This kelp is densely nutritious with high levels of many antioxidants, vitamins A, B, C, D, E, plus 60 trace minerals like calcium and magnesium. Combine these with its moisture-giving molecules polysaccharides, and you have a superfood for the skin.
Helichrysum Stoechas Extract (Eternal Flower) — A flower extract that contains polyphenol, antimicrobial, wound healing, and anti-allergenic compounds. It is also rich in fatty acids, ursolic acids, and oleanolic acids, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and water retentive properties.
Tamarindus lndica Seed Gum (Tamarind) — A hydrating polysaccharide that increases the skin’s water-holding capacity. Tamarind is anti-inflammatory, cytoprotective, rich in antioxidants, and improves skin elasticity. It also contains concentrated phytonutrients, including ascorbic acid (vitamin C), lipids, magnesium, sodium, iron, calcium, and potassium.
