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.Caprooyl tetrapeptide-3 is a biomimetic lipopeptide structure based on TGF-ß (transforming growth factor beta) that plays an essential role in the natural production of the extracellular matrix components.

Copper Palmitoyl Heptapeptide-14 is a synthetic lipopeptide complex with copper, a core active ingredient in advanced complex X50® Anti-Aging.
Numerous skincare products based on copper-peptide complexes are increasingly finding clinical and cosmeceutical uses. The biological basis for these actions is GHK (Tripeptide-1), a peptide generated during tissue damage with a very high affinity for copper (Cu2+).
Copper Tripeptide-1 Palmitamide is a complex of copper with a synthetic lipopeptide, a modification of the famous GHK peptide (Tripeptide-1) in which the terminal lysine's amino group is acylated with palmitic acid.
Coral Powder is a natural bio-active mineral, mainly constituted of Calcium Carbonate (part of calcareous rocks, inorganic skeletons of corals, marble, etc.), and the remaining amount of a unique oligo-elements combination that gives peculiar and unique characteristics.
Creatine is an amino acid derivative (non-proteinogenic amino acid) found naturally in the skin. It acts as an energy reservoir essential for the energy supply and function of the cells, participating in ATP production, which is a universal fuel molecule.
Crepidiastrum Denticulatum Leaf/Stem Extract is a natural extract from a native plant (Yakushisou) that protects the skin against environmental damage and delays aging.
Crodasome A/E is a nanoparticle complex loaded with Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate) and Vitamin E (Tocopherol Acetate).
The sap of the Croton lechleri (Dragon's Blood) tree has a long tradition of use as a protective skin covering - providing an anti-inflammatory film, or "second skin" when it dries after application.
Cyclohexpeptide-90 is a synthetic cyclic hexapeptide that increases BiP and Calreticulin protein production, chaperones in the endoplasmic reticulum responsible for proteins properly folding. This peptide is known under the trade name Poptide™.
RonaCare® Cyclopeptid-5 rapidly gives the skin a fresher and more youthful appearance. The peptide replicates the natural processes of skin communication and repair.
This adorable oil has antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging effects. Rosa damascena has a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activities against many species of harmful bacteria. Like many other aromatic and medicinal flowers, it shows antioxidant properties.
The carrot (Daucus Carota Sativa) root is rich in Beta-Carotene, pro-vitamin A, which has been found to help maintain healthy skin and hair. Its seeds also contain numerous beneficial compounds that are useful in skin and body care preparations.
Decapeptide-10 is a synthetic peptide that boosts the generation of new dermal cells lessening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, preventing their formation, and strengthening hair follicles. This peptide is also known under the trade name CG-Keramin2.
Decapeptide-4 is a synthetic peptide known under the trade name CG-IDP2 that mimics the Somatomedin C (IGF-1) growth factor involved in normal skin growth, healing, and wound repair.
Collagen represents the main component of the extracellular matrix of the dermal connective tissue and its concentration decreases as we age. It is known that the loss of collagen is not only due to a reduction of the synthesis but also due to its enhanced degradation.
Ceramide 2 replenishes the lipid barrier and improves the skin's water-binding ability, smoothing fine lines and deep wrinkles. Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 stimulates fibroblasts' mobility and boosts elastin production, improving skin elasticity and firmness.
Detoxiquin is a peptide-based complex ingredient that unites Snow mushroom extract with an iron-containing synthetic peptide to protect DNA from reactive radicals, reduce lipid peroxidation, and decrease protein degeneration.
Skin aging is a progressive accumulation of damage, beginning at the molecular level within the dermal cells. Transition metals are one of the factors responsible for the formation of highly reactive and DNA-damaging species (free radicals).
