In addition, aloe vera gel is used to treat minor surface irritations, to reduce psoriasis symptoms, to lessen the painful effects of shingles, and to shrink warts. It even has a reputation as a beauty aid.

Alpha Arbutin

 

Alpha-Arbutin is a pure, water-soluble, biosynthetic active ingredient in powder form that promotes lightening and even skin tone on all skin types. It is the epimer of arbutin, which has been found to have stronger inhibitory action than that of arbutin, Even in very low concentration, a-arbutin can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase. Alpha Arbutin's inhibitory mechanism is different from that of arbutin and its intensity is 10 times as much as that of arbutin. The a-glucosidic bond in alpha Arbutin offers higher stability and efficancy than the B form in the related Beta-Arbutin. This leads to a skin lightening active that acts faster and more efficiently than existing single components, minimizes liver spots and reduces the degree of skin tanning after UV exposure. A skin lightening study on 80 Chinese women showed that an emulsion containing 1% Alpha-Arbutin results in a faster and more pronounced skin lightening effect after 1 month when compared with other commonly used mono-substances at 1% ea

Alpha Lipoic Acid

Thioctic Acid

In 1999 we looked at a relatively new antioxidant supplement called alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) and concluded that it might one day prove to be very important, but that it was too early to recommend it. Since then more studies on it have been done. Is the evidence today strong enough to support its use? Scientists first discovered the importance of ALA in the 1950s, and recognized it as an antioxidant in 1988. It has been the subject of a tremendous amount of basic research around the world, some being done at the University of California, Berkeley by Dr. Lester Packer, a leading expert on antioxidants. The body needs ALA to produce energy. It plays a crucial role in the mitochondria, the energy-producing structures in cells. The body actually makes enough ALA for these basic metabolic functions. This compound acts as an antioxidant, however, only when there is an excess of it and it is in the "free" state in the cells. But there is little free ALA circulating in your body, unless you consume supplements or get it injected. Foods contain only tiny amounts of it. What makes ALA special as an antioxidant is its versatility—it helps deactivate an unusually wide array of cell-damaging free radicals in many bodily systems. In particular, ALA helps protect the mitochondria and the genetic material, DNA. As we age, mitochondrial function is impaired, and it’s theorized that this may be an important contributor to some of the adverse effects of aging. ALA also works closely with vitamin C and E and some other antioxidants, "recycling" them and thus making them much more effective. ALA is being studied in animals and in humans as a preventive and/or treatment for many age-related diseases. These range from heart disease and stroke to diabetes and Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as declines in energy, muscle strength, brain function, and immunity. It is also being studied for HIV disease and multiple sclerosis. In Germany, in particular, it is already prescribed to treat long-term complications of diabetes, such as nerve damage, thought to result in part from free-radical damage; there is also evidence that it can help decrease insulin resistance and thus help control blood sugar. Many studies have yielded promising results; others are still underway. 

Aluminium Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex GLY

Argan Oil

Argania Spinosa Kernal Oil

Argan oil prevents the skin from drying out and so helps to keep its flexibility by smoothing, softening and revitalizing the skin. These skin protecting properties are used in the local treatment of skin problems and in the preparation of dermatological creams and medicines. The ethnopharmacology teaches the usage of argan oil for the treatment  of juvenile acne, skin allergies chicken pox and burns. Wound healing with tender cicatrisation  is assisted, the irritated skin is called down remarkably, reddenings are reduced. The skin ageing process ans its resulting loss of elasticity is slowed down thus preventing wrinkles.Argan oil contains up to 80% unsaturated fatty acids, mainly Oleic acid (45%) and Linoleic acid (35%) . A deficit of the essential unsaturated fatty acids leads consequently to a premature ageing of the skin and therefore to wrinkles. Argan oil is a plant oil unusually rich in tocopherols. The most well known tocopherol is Vitamin E or alpha-tocopherol.tocopherols are, next to carotene the most important anti-oxidants in the human cell and provide protection from the cell destroying free radicals. The phytosterols in argan oil are unique in their combination. The triterpenoids are found in the unsaponifiable fraction of the argan oil. They have phyto-therapuetic properties which are used for skin protection, disinfection, cicatrisation and to stop inflammation. Argan oil shows excellent skin protective effects, softening and anti-drying properties. It has revitalizing virtues and improves the skin flexibility.. the moisturizing and restructuring effects are due to the high content and special composition of the unsaturated fatty acids and its unique natural content of physiological active minor components.

Argireline

Acetyl Hexapeptide-3

An Anti-Wrinkle Peptide (Acetyl Hexapeptide-3) Argireline: Inhibits Wrinkle Formation. Argireline from Lipotec S.A. is a unique new peptide that both reduces the degree of existing facial wrinkles and has been demonstrated effective against their development. It’s been shown to inhibit the formation of the SNARE complex as well as catecholamine release. These inhibitions confer anti-aging activity on Argireline; they closely relate to the basic biochemical mechanisms of wrinkle formation. Controlled studies have also demonstrated that facial wrinkle depth can be reduced, especially in the forehead and around the eyes, and that Argireline can prevent apparent facial skin aging. Skin topographic analysis performed on healthy female volunteers confirmed the validation of the proposed biochemical mechanism of action. Causes of Facial Wrinkling: Facial wrinkling associated with aging is caused – and exacerbated – by many factors. Beyond the physiological pathways, molecular mechanisms involved in facial aging include changes in collagen conformation, elastin polypeptide degradation, and problems of the skin’s lipid matrix. Recent studies clearly establish that these changes can be significantly reduced by inhibiting SNARE complex formation, a core of membrane proteins that mediate neuronal exocytosis. Their inhibition by short synthetic peptides can decrease facial wrinkle formation, and thereby the appearance of aging. The overproduction and release of cate-cholamines also encourages the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.  Cosmetic Application: Argireline can be incorporated in cosmetic formulations such as emulsions, gels, sera, etc., where the reduction in deep lines or wrinkles in the forehead or around the eyes area is desired. The recommended dosage of Argireline is 5%.

Ascorbic Acid

 

This is the only form of vitamin C that you should look for in your skin care products. There are many skin care products on the market today that boast vitamin C derivatives as an ingredient (magnesium ascorbyl phosphate or ascorbyl palmitate, for example), but L-ascorbic acid is the only useful form of vitamin C in skin care products. Vitamin C is the only antioxidant that is proven to stimulate the synthesis of collagen as well, which is essential since your body's natural collagen production decreases as you age. Sun exposure will also accelerate the decrease in collagen. Studies have shown that vitamin C helps to minimize fine lines, scars, and wrinkles.

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Biopeptide CL

Glyceryl Polymetacrylate (and) Propylene Glycol (and) Palmitoyl Oligopeptide

Biopeptide-CL is a synthetic protein, made up of a fragment of collagen and palmitic acid. The palmitic acid is used to make collagen more lipophillic and make it more compatible with the human skin. Developed through much research, Biopeptide-CL was the result of an effort to create a substance that would act like retinoic acid without the negative characteristics.

Biopeptide EL

Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, PEG-8, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide

Firming agent based on a biopeptide containing "The Spring Fragment" of elastin; helps to reconstruct the dermis and increase skin firmness. Like the other products of the Amphiphillic Biopeptide range Biopeptide EL is supplied in the form of a fluid gel(without any preservatives) containing 100mg of Palmitoyl-Valyl-Glycyl-Valyl-Valyl-Alanyl-Propyl-Glycine. Aging of the skin results from two main factors: genetic programming and permanent actinic damage due to environmental stress(UV, detergents, mechanical shocks) These factors contribute through chemical (free radicals) and biochemical(proteolytic enzymes such as collagenase and elastase)processes to the degradation of the connective tissue, the slackening of the elastic fibres, the development of wrinkles and the decrease of the suppleness and firmness of the skin. Biopeptide EL a natural fragment of elastin, characteristic of the repeated “ spring structure” found in this protein, also has a directional chemotactic activity in tissue restructuring and repair. This contributes to fight premature ageing and maintain the skin’s resistance and integrity. Biopeptide EL is also recommended for use in active products designed to stimulate macromolecules, such as anti-ageing and restructuring products, and hand creams.

Capryloyl Glycine

 

Capryloyl glycine is a lipoaminoacid derived from the combination of capric acids from coconut or palm oils and the amino acid, glycine. The structure resembles that of natural lipoaminoacids found in living organisms. Its presence is critical in the process of skin metabolism as glycine is an amino acid which forms a part of collagen and elastin. Capryloyl glycine purportedly helps kill microbes and protects skin from water loss. It is very suitable for oily skin as it controls excess oil secretion. It supposedly reduces acne by counteracting the main causes of skin imbalance including regulating sebum rate, inhibiting bacteria growth, reducing free fatty acids that block skin follicles, reducing inflammation, and fighting free radicals. In pediatric hygiene products, it is used to limit the proliferation of micro-organisms. It finds extensive usage in cosmetics as it helps with consistency and emulsification of products in general. This derivation finds mention in most of the products targeted for pediatric use or sensitive skin, most probably on the basis of the benefits derived from its sources, i.e., coconut oil and glycine.

DERMAXYL™,  a new anhydrous ingredient from Sederma based on peptide technology, utilizes a  Matrikine-Ceramide 2 concept to combat aging and smooth out wrinkles.Wrinkles are the “wounds of time” that result from various internal and external factors that impair the quality of the epidermis and dermis.   In vitro studies show that the matrikine in DERMAXYL™  helps attract cells to sites that need repair and  contributes to the reconstruction of the dermis.  Ceramide 2 strengthens and repairs the skin’s barrier. It improves cell cohesion, enhancing water retention and reducing skin dryness. Clinical Study: Pigmented products tend to accentuate the appearance of wrinkles and skin dryness rather than mask them. That’s why we used a foundation to evaluate the anti-wrinkling efficacy of DERMAXYL™.  After only applying it once a day, for 56 days the results were dramatic: Volume of main wrinkle reduced on average by 13.7% ..and reached as much as 36%..  Depth of main wrinkle reduced on averge by 10.1%  … and as much as 27%..  Surface occupied by deep wrinkles reduced on average by 40.3%... and as much as 98%.. Surface occupied by medium wrinkles reduced on average by 24.5%.. and as much as 86%

Disodium EDTA

 

Commonly referred to as EDTA is a stabilizer in cosmetic products that is a chelating compound. The function of a chelating compound is to prevent ingredients from binding to any trace elements that may be present. Should these mineral trace elements bind with other ingredients, you may have unwanted changes in your product that could influence the texture, consistency or even the smell of the product. This then helps to build a far more stable cosmetic product and it is also used as a viscosity adjuster in cosmetic products. The abbreviation EDTA stands for ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid and there are no known adverse effects of this chemical compound when used in cosmetic applications.

DMAE

Dimethylaminoethanol

If you've heard of fish referred to as brain food, you can thank DMAE.

Ethyl  Nicotinate

 

An in vitro permeation study of ethyl nicotinate (EN) was carried out using excised hairless rat skin, and simultaneous skin transport and metabolism of the drug were kinetically followed. Fairly good steady-state fluxes of EN and its metabolite nicotinic acid (NA) through the skin were obtained after a short lag time for all the concentrations of EN applied. These steady-state fluxes were not proportional to the initial donor concentration of EN: EN and NA curves were concave and convex, respectively, which suggests that metabolic saturation from EN to NA takes place in the viable skin at higher EN application. Further permeation studies of EN or NA were then carried out on full-thickness skin or stripped skin with an esterase inhibitor to measure their permeation parameters, such as partition coefficient of EN from the donor solution to the stratum corneum and diffusion coefficients of EN and NA in the stratum corneum and the viable epidermis and dermis. Separately, enzymatic parameters (Michaelis constant K(m) and maximum metabolism rate V(max)) were obtained from the production rate of NA from different concentrations of EN in the skin homogenate. The obtained permeation and enzymatic parameters were then introduced to differential equations showing Fick's second law of diffusion in the stratum corneum and the law with Michaelis-Menten metabolism in the viable epidermis and dermis. The calculated steady-state fluxes of EN and NA by the equations were very close to the obtained data. We then measured the esterase distribution in skin microphotographically using fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate diacetate. A higher enzyme concentration was observed in the epidermal cells and near hair follicles than in the dermis. Simulation studies using the even and the partial enzyme distribution models suggested that no significant difference between the models was observed in the skin permeations of EN and NA, whereas concentration-distance profiles of EN and NA were very different. This finding suggests that the total amount of enzyme in skin which converts EN to NA is a determinant of the metabolic rate of EN in skin. The present approach is a useful tool for analyzing simultaneous transport and metabolism of many drugs, especially those showing Michaelis-Menten type-metabolic saturation in skin.

Exfogreen Bamboo

 

According to ancient Chinese literature, the bamboo plant is known to have 1,001 uses, including its benefits to the skin. The liquid from the bamboo plant offers aging, rough, and highly stressed skin a delicate, yet powerfully effective moisturizer. Bamboo extract removes superficial skin cells, helping the skin in its natural process of exfoliation and cell regeneration. It helps stimulate and circulate lymph fluids, aiding in the elimination of toxins. The bamboo exfoliating extract is obtained from the stems collected in the form of an exudate (a thick liquid) which crystallizes at room temperature. This crystalline powder is very rich in mineral salt and is an excellent source of silica, which makes it a mild exfoliant. It is ground to 160 microns for a light gritty feel. Cosmetic industries have suggested its usage in soap, lotions, or bath gels in the range 5%–8%. This extract is said to be a high-performing scrub targeting particularly rough, dry skin .

Ferulic Acid

 

As an antioxidant, ferulic acid may neutralize free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS may be involved in DNA damage and accelerated cell aging. Animal studies and in vitro studies suggest that ferulic acid may have direct antitumor activity against breast cancer [1] and liver cancer [2]. Ferulic acid may have pro-apoptotic effects in cancer cells, thereby leading to their destruction [2]. Ferulic acid may be effective at preventing cancer induced by exposure to the carcinogenic compounds benzopyrene [3] and 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide [4]. Note that these are not randomized controlled trials done with human participants, and therefore, the results of these studies may not be directly applicable to human use. If added to a topical preparation of ascorbic acid and vitamin E, ferulic acid may reduce oxidative stress and formation of thymidine dimers in skin.
