Wild cherry (Prunus serotina) bark is considered to have astringent, tonic, expectorant, and sedative properties. It has been used to treat bronchitis, whooping cough, consumption, and dyspepsia.
Regeneration booster
Skin regeneration processes work well in young and healthy skin. However, external influences like stress, lack of sleep, and air-conditioned environments slow down the regeneration process.
Mature skin has a decreased regeneration speed due to a slower renewing time of skin cells. The renewing process slows down between the young adult age of 25 and adults over 40.
Regeneration boosters support and speed up the renewal processes. Measurable results can be detected by the increase in skin smoothness and elasticity based on the stimulation of collagen biosynthesis.
Some regeneration boosters activate cell functions, enhance collagen and other structural protein production, and improve the skin condition, thus counteracting the signs of mature skin.Punica Granatum Sterols is derived from pomegranate seed oil by first heat sterilizing it and then fractionating to isolate the fraction rich in sterols. It is a white to light yellow waxy paste with a characteristic odor.
Pyridoxine Dipalmitate (Vitamin B6 Dipalmitate) is a white or similar white crystal or crystalline powder; odorless. It can be easily dissolved in oil, slightly dissolved in ethanol by hot, and cannot be dissolved in water.

Retinyl Palmitate is a stable form of vitamin A that acts as a skin normalizer, this nutrient helps remind the cells of what they "did" when they were young. In addition, it nourishes the skin when applied topically.
Rooibos (Aspalathus Linearis) leafs wild-harvested in the Cederberg region (a small area in South Africa) are potent antioxidants, high in polyphenols and rich in minerals.
Rosa Canina oil softens skin and is high in essential fatty acids. It helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and repairs damaged skin.
Rosmarinus Officinalis speeds up cell renewal rate, eliminates acne and impurities, and stimulates dermal micro-circulation, lessening damaged capillaries and varicose veins.

Royal jelly is a mixture containing proteins, sugars, fatty acids, and B vitamins as well as antibacterial and antibiotic agents.
The extracellular matrix of human skin is comprised of collagen, elastic fibers (of which elastin is a major component), and basement membrane-associated macromolecules such as proteoglycans, fibronectin, and laminin.
Saccharomyces/Zinc Ferment is a biotechnological ingredient derived from the fermentation of living yeast cells in a zinc ion-containing medium.
Sage leaf extract is an organic skincare ingredient and natural antioxidant. The leaves of the small evergreen perennial are used in organic skincare products for their tonic, astringent, and soothing properties.
This Chinese plant, Chinese Red Root Salvia (Salvia Miltiorrhiza), not to be confused with the more common Salvia Officinalis or Sage herb, has been used to increase metabolism, immunity, and blood circulation, as well as to treat coro
