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.As the skin is stressed during the aging process, the synthetic activity of cells decreases in general. The production of MFAP-4 is reduced and the whole process of elastin fiber formation is negatively involved from its first stage.
