Tetrapeptide-21 (GEKG-peptide) is a synthetic peptide that repeats a part of a sequence (Gly-Glu-Lys-Gly) of several extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as collagens I, II, III, IV, V, elastin, and pro-elastin.
Anti-aging
Many people consider preventing skin aging one of their most essential needs. Over the years, the cosmetic industry has strengthened this wish with new formulations and active ingredients. Consumers highly appreciate good looks and well-being.
Active anti-aging ingredients are participating in both directions. The tests on human volunteers demonstrated the positive influence of many modern ingredients and complexes against skin aging.
The active support of energy control in the cells and the prevention of DNA damage are essential steps to counteract the process of accelerated aging, often induced by UV light. The specific combinations of anti-aging ingredients and complexes do even more.
Strong regenerative effects, like stimulating collagen, support the consumer's need for well-being, resulting in improved skin elasticity and wrinkle reduction. The more consumers learn from the concepts and claims of cosmetic products containing anti-aging ingredients, the higher their expectations are. This section fulfills the increasing requirements of quickly learning consumers.Our skin has an essential regulatory function, which activity depends on the circadian rhythm. It activates cellular defense processes in the skin during daylight and deactivates during night.
Thymulen®4 is a biomimetic peptide that mimics thymopoietin

Red Clover Blossom (Trifolium Pratense) is abundant throughout Europe and central and northern Asia, from the Mediterranean to the Arctic Circle.
Extracts of Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) have been known for centuries, especially through Chinese and Russian folk healers who purported to use the extracts to help with curing cancer and respiratory problems.
An RCS scavenger helps prevent visible signs of premature aging from pollution and photo-aging. Tripeptide-1 is also a signaling peptide that stimulates the synthesis of extracellular matrix components, primarily collagen, hyaluronic acid, and other GAGs.
Many researchers determined that some collagen protein fragments (peptides) enhance collagen production. A short peptide with the Gly-Pro-Hyp sequence is found in collagen structure and protein hydrolysates.
Our body has natural defense mechanisms against environmental damaging factors such as UV exposure, pollution, cigarette smoke, etc, usually affecting daylight hours.

White truffle (Tuber Magnatum), a hypogeum fungus known since the mist of time and greatly appreciated for its culinary uses, is the rarest variety of truffles as it grows in some extremely limited areas in Italy. In nature, truffles attract animals using volatile compounds.
Make the skin particularly soft, prevent it from dehydrating, have a hygroscopic effect and refine the structure of the skin.
Uplevity™ is a peptide invented to fight the undesired effects of a lack of skin firmness and cohesion by enhancing the natural elements that help to maintain collagen levels and elastin fibers correctly assembled, and facilitating the union between cells and the ECM (extracellular matrix).
UTMF Retinol is a complex with a silicone-based delivery system for retinol stabilization inside skin semi-occlusive film-formers.
Vigna Aconitifolia seed extract offers all the effects of retinol without the drawbacks: a scientifically proven efficacy, and a similar mechanism of action.
Vitadex is a multifunctional vitamin complex with lifting, antiwrinkle, and local microcirculation improvement properties — including three cosmetic activities. It is a clear yellowish water-soluble liquid with a characteristic odor.
vitAlease 3.3 is a complex with high retinol levels (3.3 %) in wax capsules for every formulation.
Retinol is a challenging ingredient for cosmetic products. Formulators face two challenges: first, increasing the stability of retinol in cosmetic applications to prevent its degradation and maintain its effectiveness, and second, minimizing the potential side effects of skin irritation.
Vitamin A in cosmetic preparations is intended for all skin types. Mature skin becomes supple and radiant, and wrinkles are reduced.
Vitamin C also known as L-Ascorbic acid plays a crucial role in human skin. It performs a large number of duties to ensure the radiance, firmness, and youthful look of the skin.
Vitazyme® A-Plus is a retinyl palmitate/carrot protein/beta-carotene complex, which, in contrast to all commercially available forms of vitamin A, delivers the vitamin as a water-dispersible substance.
Vitis Vinifera Fruit Meristem Cell Culture is an active ingredient from grape fruit stem cells. Activated stem cells of unripened grape fruit of specific cultivars overproduce bio-active principles including polyphenols and stilbenes, both in free and glycosylated forms.
Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract is a brownish to orange micro-granulated powder obtained from grape seeds, a byproduct of wine production.
Voluform™ (Palmitoyl Isoleucine) is a lipo-amino acid, an active ingredient that acts on every layer of the skin, providing volume, firming, and detoxifying dermal tissues.
Watercress (Nasturtium Officinale) was used to treat eye disorders, excess weight, bleeding gums, arthritis, rheumatism, atherosclerosis, kidney and liver disorders, and internal swelling. It is also considered an excellent wash for blemishes and freckles.
