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.Heptapeptide-7 is a synthetic peptide with sequence Met-Gly-Arg-Asn-Ile-Arg-Asn, a fragment of a well-studied peptide HB-107 with wound-healing and anti-aging properties.

Maca (Lepidium Meyenii Walpers) is a taproot plant from the Brassicaceae family. It has been grown as a food crop and for its medicinal properties since the Neolithic era in the High Andes in Peru, at an altitude of 3,500 to 4,200 meters.
Hydrolyzed Lupine Protein is a clear light-yellow or orange-yellow solution with a characteristic odor.
The biotechnological processes used to produce hydrolyzed wheat bran make it possible to recover 100% of wheat bran protective chemistry in a bio-available form.
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is a pure ester form of Tretinoin (all-trans-Retinoic acid) that works similarly to Retin-A but without the irritation of Tretinoin.
Hydroxytyrosol is a natural, potent, and protective polyphenol derived from olive juice and olive oil. It is an ingredient with improved clinical outcomes produced using a unique process from natural raw materials.
InvisaSkin® Matrix Rebuilder-O is an anti-aging skin care complex combining the activity of Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-14 (former Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-6 with sequence N-Palmitoyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-alanyl-L-leucyl-L-leucyl-L-lysyl-L-leucinamide) and plant-derived glycoconjugates (Goji berry extract) fo
Kinetin is a cytokinin (not to be confused with cytokine), a type of plant hormone, which acts as a plant growth factor. It is a compound found in nature, including plants, animals, and human DNA.
Kukui Oil is produced mainly in Hawaii and Tahiti and comes from the nut of the kukui tree Aleurites Moluccana). Rich in essential fatty acids Aleurites Moluccana seed oil is useful for skin-softening preparations.
