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.
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.
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).
Diamond Sirt is a conjugated complex formed by silicon dioxide microspheres covered with aggregated diamonds that stabilize function-sirtuin peptide (Acetyl sh-Pentapeptide-35) for use in anti-aging treatments.
Dimethyl MEA (DMEA, Dimethylethanolamine, or Deanol) is a natural ingredient derived from fish. It combats the signs of skin aging, particularly the loss of firmness. It also promotes the firmness, vigorousness, and elasticity of muscle fibers.
Dipeptide-8 (Alanyl-hydroxyproline; Ala-Hyp) is a synthetic peptide initially found in hydrolyzed collagen mixture.
Disodium Acetyl Glucosamine Phosphate (N-acetyl-glucosamine-6-phosphate) is a biotechnological ingredient derived by enzymatic phosphorylation of natural N-acetyl-glucosamine.
Dynalift™ forms an invisible film to smooth the features immediately and lastingly.
Introduced to the medical profession in 1887, from the turn of the century into the 1930s, Coneflower (Echinacea Angustifolia) became the best-selling American medicinal plant among physicians in the United States.
Recent pharmacological and clinical studies provide evidence for the mode of action of topical products containing Echinacea Angustifolia Leaf Extract and their therapeutic potential in clinical practice.
Historically, the juice of the Coneflower (Echinacea Angustifolia) root was used externally to bathe burns and make the intense heat of a sweat lodge more bearable.
ECM-Protect® is a peptide that inhibits the enzymatic activity of the elastase and the cutaneous MMP-1. ECM-Protect® defends the body’s collagen and elastin network against harmful damage caused by environmental factors (UV radiation, pollution, cigarette smoke) and aging.
A fruit native to Mexico, the Avocado was consumed more than 10,000 years ago by the Aztecs and Mayas and was imported to Europe in the 17th century. The varieties used to produce Effipulp® are mainly harvested in Latin America and Africa.
Elaidoyl Tripeptide-37 is a synthetic lipo-peptide with sequence Elaidyl-KFK (Elaidyl-Lys-Phe-Lys-OH) known under the trade name Lipospondin. It is an ester of elaidic acid and Tripeptide-37 (KFK peptide), which repeats a part of the sequence of Thrombospondin.
As the skin is stressed during aging, cellular synthetic activity generally decreases. The production of MFAP-4 is reduced, and the whole process of elastin fiber formation is negatively involved from its first stage.
Epilobium Angustifolium Extract is a natural ingredient derived from Canadian Willowherb (also called Fireweed). Historically, preparations from Canadian Willowherb have been used for wound healing and as an anti-inflammatory and soothing remedy for burns and insect bites.
Ergothioneine (thiotaine) is an amino acid initially found in the Ergot fungus (Claviceps Purpurea) by Charles Tanret in 1909 and named after it. In nature, it is produced by certain non-yeast fungi and cyanobacteria. It accumulates in the human body via the organic cation transporter OCTN1.
For these reasons, Sederma has formulated a new ingredient to help people of 60+ to fortify and restructure their thin and fragile skin.
EverLaSkin® is a liposomal botanical complex with plant-derived peptides.
Eyeliss™ is a peptide complex consisting of three biologically active ingredients: Hesperidin methyl chalcone, Dipeptide-2 (Valyl-Tryptophane; Dipeptide-VW), a lipopeptide Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (Pal-GQPR) that prevents puffiness and diminishes under-eye bags.
The Beech tree (Fagus sylvatica L.) lives for about 200-250 years riching approximately 130 feet in height and is often called “the ever-lasting youth tree”.
Hydrolysed soybean proteins are known for their anti-aging effect on the skin. Among the small peptides in soybean protein hydrolysates, a tripeptide combining the gamma-glutamic acid-cysteine sequence was selected that was effective in collagen proliferation.
Fomblins are non-greasy, transparent, liquid fluorinated polymers, meaning hydrogen atoms are replaced with fluorine atoms.
A perfectly balanced complex of precursors and activator of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) production. GAGs-boost provides building blocks (Disodium Acetyl Glucosamine Phosphate and Sodium Glucuronate) for glycosaminoglycans synthesis.
Alpinia Galanga Leaf Extract stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid. It improves skin appearance by reducing shadows, making skin look more radiant, and minimizing visible signs of lines and wrinkles.
Galega officinalis L. (Fabaceae) is a herbaceous plant distributed through Asia to temperate areas of Southern Europe.
Genistein is a powerful anti-oxidant from natural sources, which offers multiple health benefits to humans, including anti-cancer effects. It is known under the trade name AgeGuard™ GN.
