Key Ingredients

PhytoCellTec™ Malus Domestica - is a liposomal preparation based on the stem cells of a rare Swiss apple. The Uttwiler Spätlauber is an endangered apple variety that was well-known for its excellent storability, and thus its longevity potential. PhytoCellTec™ Malus Domestica is the first plant stem cell active ingredient on the market whose effect was evaluated on human skin stem cells. This unique and revolutionary ingredient:

• Protects longevity of skin stem cells

• Delays senescence of essential cells

• Increases the vitality of skin stem cells

• Combats chronological aging

Syn-Coll - an aqueous glycerine-based solution of a small peptide that stimulates collagen synthesis in human fibroblasts. Collagen represents the main component of the dermal extra cellular matrix, which, when altered by chronic UV exposure and the aging process, leads to degenerative changes in the skin. This ingredient actively compensates for any collagen deficit in the skin and makes the skin look younger.

Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline - moisturizes, firms, and reduces the appearance of cutaneous wrinkles.  In clinical tests, this ingredient produced significant improvement of dryness and roughness, and increased the suppleness, softness and moisturization of the skin. Studies show a dramatic reduction of wrinkles and fine lines.

Syn-Ake - is a peptide that mimics the activity of a polypeptide found in the venom of the Temple Viper. It has an efficient smoothing and anti-wrinkle property, particularly effective against permanent facial expression lines.

Haloxyl - reduces the appearance of dark circles and rings under the eyes and increases cutaneous density. The formation of rings under the eyes is the consequence of accumulation, over time, of the pigment degradation products of heme in the richly vascularized zones around the eyes. The degradation products of erythrocytes leaked from fragile micro-vessels around the eye are poorly eliminated since they are mostly insoluble and accumulate locally. The various colors - violet-red and greenish-blue - no longer resolve as they should.  Over the long term, the rings become permanent.  Haloxyl acts by activating the systems that eliminate the main pigments derived from blood leakages - bilirubin and iron.

Chlorellagen - is an aqueous extract of the green microalga, Chlorella vulgaris, rich in the amino acids Lysine, Proline, Glycine and Alanine, which are the building blocks of proteins. Chlorellagen promotes the synthesis of proteins that anchor the dermo-epidermal junction to the dermis and provide structure and support to the skin, thereby improving firmness and tonicity. This ingredient has been shown to reduce spider vein redness and also reduce pigmentation of dark circles under the eye by 45% in 4 weeks. Chlorellagen also protects collagens through the production of TIMP-1, -2 and -3 and elastin, through the production of Elafin.

Soline - is an oil obtained from a select species of sunflower through a process of molecular distillation. Tests show an immediate and long-lasting improvement in hydration to the outer layers of the skin, and it has been shown to successfully replenish the lipid barrier, which aids in moisture retention in the epidermal layer of the skin. In addition, levels of cerebroside, ceramide, and cholesterol (the building blocks of skin cells) were increased. At the levels used in this product, studies have shown improvements of 50% in dryness, 53% in roughness, and 57% in flakiness.

Aqueous Tamarind Seed Extract - which consist mainly of polysaccharides in their original natural composition, activates the natural protective mechanisms of the skin, improves elasticity and makes the surface of the skin soft and supple. It promotes firmer and smoother skin, and provides protection against premature aging.

White Birch Bark Extract – inhibits elastase and stimulates collagen bundle synthesis to firm and tighten skin. Skin tone, texture and clarity are improved by reducing the appearance of mottled and discreet pigmentation and enlarged pores. It has a potent anti-inflammatory effect to calm sensitive skin around the eye.  It also protects and refolds proteins damaged by UV and free radical exposure.

Vitamin E – moisturizes skin from within, improves skin smoothness and slows down the conversion of soluble collagen into insoluble collagen while also blocking lipid peroxidation, which can cause cell membrane damage.

Vitamin C – a very powerful anti-oxidant, reduces free radical formation on the skin and also aids in the process of collagen synthesis, thereby reducing age spots and uneven coloration of the skin.

Hispagel is a glycol-free, glycerin clathrate, characterized by excellent lubrication properties. It provides non-drying moisturization and creates a skin-permeable film which provides for a high level of  hydration.
