| Ceramide 1 When topically applied, Phytoceramide I optimizes dermal water retention to effect smoother, glossier and softer skin. It is particularly suitable for treating aged or extra dry skin. This class of ceramides is believed to function as a molecular rivet, cross linking lamellar structures in the barrier layer of the stratum corneum. |
||||
|
||||
| Ceramide 3 Ceramide 3 supports the renewal of the skin's natural protective layer and forms an effective barrier against moisture loss. These human-skin-identical barriers are therefore particularly suitable for long term protection and repair of sensitive and dry skin. Ceramide 3 has the same stereo-chemical configuration as the Ceramides present in the human skin. This unique configuration is regarded to be crucial for optimal performance. In hair care formulations Ceramide 3 is able to restore damaged hair and to protect hair against chemical and UV damage. Ceramide 3 has also been found to inhibit tyrosinase activity in melanocytes. It therefore lends itself well to skin brightening products offering better clarity of skin color tone. Ceramide 3 is typically used in applications such as skin whitening products, eye care products, products for age-spots,and anti-aging products. |
||||||||||
|
||||||||||
| Ceramide 6 Efficacy studies have shown Ceramide 6 to have a potent ability to smooth rough skin by the modification of desquamation (removal of dead skin cells). Ceramide 6, supports the renewal of the skin's natural protective layer and forms an effective barrier against moisture loss. These human-skin-identical barriers are particularly suitable for long term protection and repair of sensitive and dry skin. Due to its AHA like structure, Ceramide 6 normalizes the skins natural desquamatory process resulting in a smoother, softer complexion. As a natural skin barrier lipid, it is particularly suited as a mild desquamation agent for sensitive skin products. It rejuvenates dull, rough, and tired skin, and reduces the appearance of fine lines. |

| Coleus barbatus Member of the mint family; can be a skin irritant. |
| Collagen A major component of skin that gives it structure. In the skin, collagen provides texture, resiliency, and shape. As we age collagen production slows dramatically. This reduction causes wrinkles to appear and become deeper. Sun damage is an external factor that causes collagen in skin to deteriorate. This allows premature aging to occur. Collagen is derived from animal sources but plant derivatives that act like collagen (pseudo-collagen) are also used. In any form, collagen is a good water-binding agent. |
||||||||||
|

It helps improve the appearance of skin, hair, and nails because it naturally contains key beauty amino acids like hydroxyproline. |

It is particularly appropriate for body/face contouring products, slimming treatments and anti-cellulite products. |
| Copper gluconate Copper is an important trace element for human nutrition. The body needs copper to absorb and utilize iron, and copper is also a component of the powerful antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase. The synthesis of collagen and elastin is in part related to the presence of copper in the body, and copper is also important for many other processes. For example, there is research showing that copper is effective for wound healing. |
||||||||||
|
||||||||||
| Copper Peptide Copper peptide is often referred to as the most effective skin regeneration product, even though it's only been on the market since 1997. Here's why: Studies have shown that copper peptide promotes collagen and elastin production, and also acts as an antioxidant. It also promotes production of glycosaminoglycans (think hyaluronic acid, as an example). Studies have also shown that copper-dependent enzymes increase the benefits of the body's natural tissue building processes. The substance helps to firm, smooth, and soften skin, doing it in less time than most other anti-aging skin care products. Clinical studies have found that copper peptides also remove damaged collagen and elastin from the skin and scar tissue because they activate the skin's system responsible for those functions. |

Non-animal in origin; it contains no surfactants to compromise the delivery of these essential lipids to the functional layers of the stratum corneum. When directly applied to the skin, it delivers the lipids to replenish those which have been lost to aging, environmental factors or chemical exposure. |
