ROSEHIP OIL
Rosehip Oil is rich in polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (PUFAs) (41 o/o linoleic, linolenic 39%). These are essential in the regeneration processes of cell membranes and therefore the renewal of skin tissues. lt is also made up of trans-retinoic acid, an isomer of vitamin A, whose rejuvenating effects on the skin are well known. Rosehip Oil is very effective in the treatment of scars, stretch marks, sunburn and age spots. lt softens expression wrinkles and prevents premature aging of skin tissues. lt is also effective on dry and worn skins as well as in the regeneration of hair.
COENZYME Q10
Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, is widespread in nature, present in grains, soy, nuts and plants. lt performs an essential action in the production of cellular energy which, with age, decreases. lt has an important antioxidant effect against peroxides, which damage the collagen and elastin, thus against loss of skin elasticity and the formation of wrinkles. Like vitamin E, Coenzyme Q10 is liposoluble. Laboratory research has demonstrated that it can effectively protect tissues deprived of oxygen.
DIMETHYLMETHOXY CHROMANOL
lt is a powerful antioxidant. lt is effective against ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) and against RNS (Reactive Nitrogen Species). Skin is subject to oxidative-stress due to ROS. lt is also responsible for major aging signs such as wrinkles, senile spots and elasticity loss. Nitrosative stress, due to RNS, alters the structure of proteins and inhibits their normal function. Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol prevents skin photoaging. In vitro tests have demonstrated its capacity to protect cellular DNA against ROS oxidation produced by UVA and UVB radiation. lt is proved to be more effective in inhibiting oxidative stress in human dermal I fibroblasts than resveratrol, vitamin E and ferulic acid.
VITAMIN E
lt has a protective and antioxidant action on cells and tissues thus slowing down the aging process. lt also has soothing and softening properties and reduces cellular damage of UV rays on the skin.
JOJOBA OIL
lt stimulates the production of collagen and elastin by encouraging skin trophism. lt is rich in natural antioxidants known as polyphenols. lt has a toning and elasticizing action and moisturizes the skin, making it soft and velvety. lt frees the follicles clogged with impurities and regulates the moisture effectively by forming a porous, emollient hydro-lipid film that reduces the loss of moisture, without occluding the pores.
