Ascophyllum Nodosum Extract is a natural extract from algae found along the French coast. It is rich in fucoidans, which have both preventative and repairing properties. The extract uniquely decreases the presence of senescent cells, often referred to as zombie cells, which develop due to aging and oxidative stress. These cells are no longer functioning properly and have entered an inactive state, where they release signaling molecules that cause surrounding cells to become zombie cells. By ‘awakening,’ these inactive cells, the extract helps restore the skin’s natural activity and maintain a youthful and vital appearance. Zombie cells that cannot be reawakened are instead sorted out and eliminated.

Aminolevulinic Acid Hydrochloride (5-ALA) is a natural amino acid which is essential for the cells’ energy processes. With this active ingredient, the cell’s ability to produce energy is improved, ensuring that the cells have the necessary energy to utilize all the active ingredients in the product. Additionally, 5-ALA has the unique ability to utilize the energy from daylight to remove and sort out the skin’s age-altered cells (including zombie cells), allowing them to be replaced earlier. In combination with the cream’s other active ingredients, this results in a more youthful and revitalized appearance of the skin.

It is an effective antioxidant, naturally found in the body’s cells, particularly in the mitochondria, where it plays a crucial role in energy production. In addition to enhancing cellular energy production, coenzyme Q10 protects the skin from free radicals, which can accelerate the aging process. Furthermore, it stimulates the skin’s production of collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer skin.

Lupinus Albus Seed Extract is a natural extract from lupins that contains the active ingredient lupeol, known for its unique ability to improve the quality of the skin’s collagen. Lupeol activates the formation of a collagen-specific chaperone protein, HSP47, which helps the skin generate collagen fibers of a quality that fills gaps in the collagen network – similar to younger skin.

Aspalathus Linearis (Rooibos) Leaf Extract is a unique herb found in South Africa that is rich in antioxidants including Aspalathin found only in Rooibos. It is known as the most popular natural product for the care for dry and irritated skin. Additionally, the extract is rich in the flavonoids Quercetin and Aspalathin, which are effective antioxidants that also enhance the skin’s hydration and elasticity. Numerous scientific publications describe the many benefits of Rooibos and it is known as a valuable natural medicine all over the world.

Plankton Extract is an extract from blue-green algae that contains the enzyme photolyase, known for its unique ability to repair DNA damage caused by UV rays. The enzyme is encapsulated in natural liposomes, ensuring deep penetration and release of the enzyme into the deeper layers of the skin. This efficient DNA repair can significantly reduce visible signs of photoaging.

Dunaliella Salina Extract is an algae extract that reduces the formation of AGE compounds, which occur through spontaneous reactions in the cells’ proteins, particularly collagen, disrupting their normal functions. The levels of AGE components increase with age and a high-sugar diet, and they are especially common in skin areas exposed to excessive sunlight. By minimizing the formation of these components, the algae extract helps reduce sun-related wrinkles and UV spots, giving the skin a smoother and more even appearance.

SR-(Hexapeptide-40 Oligopeptide-232 SH-Oligopeptide-1) (T-EGF) is an active fusion protein that innovatively combines the growth factor EGF with a patented ”chaperone” peptide (T). This chaperone peptide enables deeper penetration of EGF, allowing it to be released within the skin, where it activates cell division and collagen production. The significantly enhanced absorption of EGF contributes to effective skin repair and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
