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

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 .

Famesol

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.

Garlic Extract

 

Extracts of fresh garlic that are aged over a prolonged period to produce aged garlic extract (AGE) contain antioxidant phytochemicals that prevent oxidant damage. These include unique water-soluble organosulfur compounds, lipid-soluble organosulfur components and flavonoids, notably allixin and selenium. Long-term extraction of garlic (up to 20 mo) ages the extract, creating antioxidant properties by modifying unstable molecules with antioxidant activity, such as allicin, and increasing stable and highly bioavailable water-soluble organosulfur compounds, such as S-allylcysteine and S-allylmercaptocysteine. AGE exerts antioxidant action by scavenging ROS, enhancing the cellular antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase, and increasing glutathione in the cells. AGE inhibits lipid peroxidation, reducing ischemic/reperfusion damage and inhibiting oxidative modification of LDL, thus protecting endothelial cells from the injury by the oxidized molecules, which contributes to atherosclerosis. AGE inhibits the activation of the oxidant-induced transcription factor, nuclear factor (NF)-kappa B, which has clinical significance in human immunodeficiency virus gene expression and atherogenesis. AGE protects DNA against free radical--mediated damage and mutations, inhibits multistep carcinogenesis and defends against ionizing radiation and UV-induced damage, including protection against some forms of UV-induced immunosuppression. AGE may have a role in protecting against loss of brain function in aging and possess other antiaging effects, as suggested by its ability to increase cognitive functions, memory and longevity in a senescence-accelerated mouse model. AGE has been shown to protect against the cardiotoxic effects of doxorubicin, an antineoplastic agent used in cancer therapy and against liver toxicity caused by carbon tetrachloride (an industrial chemical) and acetaminophen, an analgesic. Substantial experimental evidence shows the ability of AGE to protect against oxidant-induced disease, acute damage from aging, radiation and chemical exposure, and long-term toxic damage. Although additional observations are warranted in humans, compelling evidence supports the beneficial health effects attributed to AGE, i.e., reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer and aging, including the oxidant-mediated brain cell damage that is implicated in Alzheimer's disease.

Ginko Biloba Extract, 24%/6%

 

Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) is one of the oldest living tree species and its leaves are among the most extensively studied botanicals in use today. Unlike many other medicinal herbs, ginkgo leaves are not frequently used in their crude state, but rather, in the form of a concentrated, standardized ginkgo biloba extract (GBE). In Europe, GBE is among the best-selling herbal medications and it ranks within the top five of all prescriptions written in France and Germany. Ginkgo has been used in traditional medicine to treat circulatory disorders and enhance memory. Scientific studies throughout the years lend support to these traditional uses. Emerging evidence suggests that GBE may be particularly effective in treating ailments associated with decreased blood flow to the brain, particularly in elderly individuals. Laboratory studies have shown that GBE improves blood circulation by dilating blood vessels and reducing the stickiness of blood platelets. Ginkgo leaves also contain two types of chemicals (flavonoids and terpenoids) believed to have potent antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are substances that scavenge free radicals -- damaging compounds in the body that alter cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and even cause cell death. Free radicals occur naturally in the body, but environmental toxins (including ultraviolet light, radiation, cigarette smoking, and air pollution) can also increase the number of these damaging particles. Free radicals are believed to contribute to a number of health problems including heart disease and cancer as well as Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Antioxidants such as those found in ginkgo can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause.

Glucare S

Betaglucan

Evidence that oat beta-glucan can reduce cholesterol levels was sufficient to induce the FDA to allow health claims on whole oat products that provide at least 0.75 grams of soluble fiber per serving. The allowed health claim is that these products reduce the risk of heart disease by reducing levels of cholesterol. In one study, mildly hypercholesterolemic subjects on a "typical" diet, in which 35% of calories was derived from fat, were given an oat beta-glucan extract containing 1% or 10% oat beta-glucan. There was a significant reduction in total cholesterol levels in those receiving the 10% oat beta-glucan preparation after three weeks. Cholesterol levels declined significantly in the 1% group, as well, but not as quickly. There was also a significant decline in LDL-cholesterol levels in both groups. Triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol levels were not significantly changed. Some other studies have reported similar results. Improved glucose and insulin responses have been reported in a study of moderately hypercholesterolemic healthy subjects. Oat extracts containing 1% and 10% beta-glucan both demonstrated these beneficial effects on glucose tolerance factors. NIDDM patients given varying concentrations of oat beta-glucan also had significantly improved glucose and insulin responses. Higher doses of the oat beta-glucan correlated with greater improvement. There are in vitro and animal studies demonstrating that oat beta-glucan, like those extracted from yeast and other fungi, has favorable immunomodulatory activities. These include the ability to activate macrophages and stimulate their release of interleukin (IL)-1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, among other activities. Intraperitoneal administration of oat beta-glucan has enhanced a non-specific resistance to bacterial challenge in mice. Survival times have been improved in mice pre-treated with oat beta-glucan and then challenged with Staphylococcus aureus. Similarly, resistance to Eimeria vermiformis has been significantly increased in immunosuppressed mice given oat beta-glucan intragastrically or parenterally.

Glycyrrhetinic Acid

Plantactiz Gla 18 (Cognis)

Glycyrrhetinic acid is a pentacyclic triterpenoid derivative of the b-amyrin type. It has expectorant and antitussive properties. It is widely used as a flavoring agent and is frequently employed to mask the taste of bitter drugs such as aloe and quinine. Glycyrrhetinic acid has also been reported to possess anti-inflammatory properties. It is believed to inhibit the enzymes that metabolize the prostaglandins, PGE2a to their inactive metabolites. This increases the level of prostaglandins in the digestive system. These prostaglandins inhibit gastric secretion but stimulate pancreatic secretion and mucous secretion in the intestines. This may be the reason that glycyrrhetinic acid is said to relieve peptic ulcers.

Hemp Oil

 

The oil contained in the hemp seed is 75-80% polyunsaturated fatty acids (the good fats) and only 9-11% of the lesser desired saturated fatty acids. Hemp seed oil is reputed to be the most unsaturated oil derived from the plant kingdom. The essential fatty acids (EFAs) contained in hemp seed oil are required in our diet more than any other vitamin, yet our bodies do not naturally produce them. They must be obtained from external sources in the food we eat. EFAs are involved with producing life's energy throughout the human body and without them, life is not possible. In general, North Americans have a high dietary deficiency in EFAs due to out high intake of animal fats versus plant fats, caused by our high consumption of processed foods and meats versus natural organic foods. Hemp seed oil has been dubbed "Nature's most perfectly balanced oil", due to the fact that it contains the perfectly balanced 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 (linoleic/ LA) to Omega 3 (alpha-linolenic/ LNA) essential fatty acids, determined to be the optimum requirement for long-term healthy human nutrition. In addition, it also contains smaller amounts of 3 other polyunsaturated fatty acids in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), oleic acid and stearidonic acid. This EFA combination is unique among edible oil seeds. Extensive studies have demonstrated that many common illnesses are related to deficiencies or imbalances of specific fatty acids in the body. Symptoms are often related to a lack of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids and their derivatives, the postaglandins. Most people eating a healthful diet, one that includes a balanced ratio of essential fatty acids, also have healthy skin and a strong immune system. Yet some individuals may experience shortages in specific fatty acids or their metabolites due to dysfunctional enzyme systems or other inhibitions in their metabolic pathways caused by genetic, immune-system-related, or even environmental factors. It has been proven in several clinical studies that dietary supplementation with EFAs or their metabolites (such as GLA) will often prevent or even cure these illnesses. Since hemp seed oil contains both EFAs in a desirable balance while also providing two of the EFA metabolites, it is a good resource for the prevention and treatment of certain illnesses. Hemp seed oil also provides an adequate supply of antioxidants (Vitamin E), carotene (precursor to Vitamin A), phytosterols, phospholipids and a number of minerals including calcium, magnesium, sulfur, potassium, phosphorus, along with modest amounts of iron and zinc. Hemp seed oil also provides a good source of chlorophyll. The daily recommended allowance of hemp seed oil is 14-28 ml (1 to 2 tablespoons). This allowance provides between 8 and 16 grams of Omega 6 (LA) and between 3 and 6 grams of Omega 3 (LNA). And lastly, unlike other Omega-rich alternatives (flax, evening primrose, borage or fish oils) that are sold mainly as a vitamin supplement, hemp seed, hemp oil and hulled hemp seed all have a flavorful "nutty" taste that will create consumer demand and can easily be added into most any recipe to obtain a balanced diet

HSC

Cyclomethicone, Dimethiconol, Octyl Cocoate, Phenyl Trimethicone, Ceramide 3, Glycine Soja (Soyabean) Sterol

HYDROPHOBIC SPHINGOLIPID COMPLEX (HSC) INTENSIVE SERUM FOR DRY SKIN
The skin’s ability to properly regulate and maintain the correct moisture balance within its stratum corneum has long been the subject of great interest. We now understand that a key element in this system concerns the interaction and structural organization of specific skin constituents, known as glycosylceramides, sphingolipids. HSC has been developed to help restore, replenish and restructure these lipids within the stratum corneum in order to counter their loss. This loss can stem from the natural process of aging or as a result of damage caused by washing, stress, environmental aggression or excessive UV exposure. Manufactured using proprietary biofermentation techniques, HSC is comprised of glycoceramides and sphingolipids of non-animal origin. It contains no surfactants to compromise the delivery of these essential lipids to the functional layers of the stratum corneum. These functionally important skin care ingredients have been incorporated into an organocompatible silicone-emollient. When directly applied to the skin, it delivers the lipids to replenish those which have been lost to aging, environmental factors or chemical exposure.Importantly, the unique delivery system developed for HSC also contributes to its efficacy. It serves to target the lipid actives to precisely where they are needed in order to optimally re-regulate the exchange of moisture between the skin and the environment. This delivery matrix, with its elegant lubricity, provides a perfect, stable
environment to maximize the end benefit to the user.Whether you are seeking an intensive treatment serum or wish to formulate a skin care regimen for dry or normal skin types, HSC is the ingredient of choice, developed to help restore, replenish and restructure the correct moisture balance of the skin. PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS The overall effects and benefits of HSC can be summarised using the three Rs: restore, replenish and restructure ? Restores the adequate moisture balance needed to keep a healthy and beautiful skin ? Replenishes the amount of skin lipids, depleted due to age and environmental factors ? Restructures the stratum corneum, allowing an effective isolation of the skin moisture HSC can be used in two different ways: as a key ingredient in a replenishing skin care finished product or also as a ready to use product - an Intensive Serum for Dry Skin DOSAGE The recommended,dosage in skin care formulations is 5 to 10% in the final formulation.However, the special rheology and end feel of HSC means that it can also be used a ready to use replenishing, nourishing serum.

Hyaluronic Acid Powder (BT)

Sodium Hyaluronate

Hyaluronic Acid Skin care products containing this substance are often used in conjunction with vitamin C products to assist in effective penetration. Hyaluronic acid (also known as a glycosaminoglycan) is often touted for its ability to "reverse" or stop aging. In news reports, you might have heard of hyaluronic acid as the "key to the fountain of youth." This is because the substance occurs naturally (and quite abundantly) in humans and animals, and is found in young skin, other tissues. and joint fluid. Hyaluronic acid is a component of the body's connective tissues, and is known to cushion and lubricate. As you age, however, the forces of nature destroy hyaluronic acid. Diet and smoking can also affect your body's level of hyaluronic acid over time. Skin care products with hyaluronic acid are most frequently used to treat wrinkled skin.

Hydroquinone Skin care products containing hydroquinone are popularly referred to as bleaching creams or lightening agents. These skin care products are used to lighten hyperpigmentation, such as age spots and dark spots related to pregnancy or hormone therapy (melasma or chloasma). Some over-the-counter skin care products contain hydroquinone, but your doctor can also prescribe a solution with a higher concentration of hydroquinone if your skin doesn't respond to over- the-counter treatments. If you are allergic to hydroquinones, you can use products containing kojic acid instead.

Idebenone

 

If you have heard of idebenone, you are likely either an enthusiast of smart drugs or have been following skin care news. While idebenone has been known for decades as a pharmaceutical agent, it has arrived to the realm of skin care only recently. In fact, some skin care companies tout it as a new, cutting-edge miracle rather than an old drug taught a few new tricks. But whether old or new, the important question is: Can idebenone benefit your skin? Let us start with a little history. In the 1970-80s, researchers had been studying therapeutic potential of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), including its ability to improve heart failure, reduce free radical damage and slow down certain neurological conditions. CoQ10, a vitamin-like natural compound found in all aerobic organisms, plays a pivotal role in the cellular energy production and is also an effective antioxidant (see our article about CoQ10 for more details). Trying to boost CoQ10's therapeutic effects, researchers synthesized and tested a variety of its chemical analogs and derivatives. Most of these derivatives were found ineffective and/or unsafe. One of the few lucky exceptions was idebenone. Idebenone is closely related to CoQ10 in its structure. It can replace CoQ10 in the process of cellular energy production and, just as CoQ10, idebenone is also an antioxidant. There are some important distinctions though. Idebenone is more water-soluble than CoQ10; its cellular distribution and antioxidant profile are somewhat different too. This makes idebenone superior to CoQ10 in neutralizing some types of free radicals and inferior in fighting other types. Notably, idebnone is more effective than CoQ10 in protecting cells from the free radical damage resulting from reduced blood flow. On the other hand, idebenone appears more conducive than CoQ10 to certain types of noxious free-radical leakage in the cell's mitochondria. Unfortunately, there have been very few studies directly comparing CoQ10 and idebenone in the treatment of various conditions. What does all this have to do with skin care? Recently CoQ10 has been shown (albeit only in a few small studies) to improve skin wrinkles. Not surprisingly and quite logically, some skin care companies decided that CoQ10 analogs might do a similar or better job. But why conduct painstaking research developing new CoQ10 analogs optimal for skin rejuvenation. Why not take a "tried and true" existing analog, make it into a cream and tout as a new breakthrough. Lo and behold, idebenone creams are now available and actively promoted as anti-wrinkle remedies. Unfortunatey, we can only speculate whether idebenone is better than CoQ10 as a skin rejuvenator. Both idebenone and CoQ10 exert multiple effects on the cells. However, despite numerous similarities, many important differences also exist. Therefore, until there are studies comparing idebenone and CoQ10 skin treatments had-to-head over an extended period, we will not know which of these agents is superior. Unfortunately, such degree of uncertainly is not uncommon when it comes to "hot", rush-to-the-market skin care products. On the bright side, the uncertainty about idebenone has to do mostly with effectiveness, not safety. In fact, most experts agree that idebenone is reasonably safe. It has been in clinical use since 1980s and has a very good safety record. In the US, it is sold without a prescription and classified as a nutritional supplement, just as CoQ10 itself. (The FDA allows certain safe synthetic derivatives of naturally occurring compounds to be classified as supplements.) Is idebenone cream worth a try? If you are using proven anti-wrinkle agents (such as retinoids or vitamin C derivatives) with good results, it may be wiser to hold off with idebenone and wait for more studies. However, if the established treatments are not working for you or even produce adverse effects, then trying idebenone is a question of willingness to spend time and money on a treatment that could work in theory but is not yet backed by hard evidence. Unfortunately for those tempted to try it, idebenone-based skin care is relatively pricey, even though idebenone itself is not particularly expensive. As is common for the actively promoted "breakthrough" treatments, the price includes a sizeable hype premium. Your alternatives are: to pay up, to wait till the price comes down, or to make an idebenone cream yourself. In addition to cost savings, the DIY approach has an advantage on allowing you to ensure sufficient concentration and freshness. Notably, idebenone (like CoQ10 and many other antioxidants) is easily inactivated by oxygen in the air, which makes freshness particularly important. See DIY Anti-Aging Skin Care Infopack for specific instructions on making idebenone and CoQ10 formulations. Finally, if you decide to try an idebenone cream, consider performing a head-to-head comparison of idebenone and CoQ10 yourself. You can simply use a CoQ10 cream on one side of your face and an idebenone cream on the other. Give it at least six weeks for the results (or lack thereof) to kick in.

LEUPHASYL

 

PentaPeptide (Leuphasyl) is a new amino acid that contains five peptides. Leuphasyl works outside the pre-synaptic neuron and prior to Argireline or Snap-7. The body carries a slight electrical charge. When the repetitive movements occur, the electrical charge in that part of the body rises. Leuphasyl helps moderate the release of acetylcholine during the SNARE complex by lowering the skin’s electrical charge in the applied area, making it more difficult for neurons to fire. Since neurons move the muscles by delivering acetylcholine into the muscle cells, Leuphasyl’s ability to moderate the electrical charge being sent to the applied area is crucial in lessening and relaxing muscle contraction. Impairing muscle contraction is what makes the skin look younger and mitigates wrinkles and their formation.

Liporeductyl GENERAL DESCRIPTION Medically, Cellulite is primarily a condition of poor microcirculation that causes damage to the fat tissue under the skin.Aesthetically, Cellulite is a problem consisting in the visual presentation of weakened, damaged fatty tissue and fibrous connective tissue in the shape of lumps and dimples, commonly known as “orange skin”. Cellulite is usually found on the thighs and butt, especially in women. It affects about 80 to 95% of women, regardless of whether they are overweight, average or thin, while it only affects 5% of men due to differences in fat levels and hormonal system. It is a complex process which has several causes of diverse nature: dietetic, vascular, endocrine, lifestyle, etc. Females have their subcutaneous fat structured in small chambers separated by vertical walls of tissue. The whole framework is irrigated by a complex vascular system of arterioles and capillaries responsible for circulation and drainage. The failure of this microcirculation system results in leakage of liquid into the surrounding tissue. This liquid retention in the interstitial spaces also affects adipocytes which start manufacturing excess triglycerides and grow in size, becoming trapped in the connective network. This tissue congestion causes swelling, prevents nutrients such as oxygen being carried to the tissue, and hinders the drainage of toxins. A negative cycle starts where enlarged adipocytes pressurize the microcirculation system causing more liquid to leak and more adipocyte growth. Connective tissue, including collagen and elastin, becomes increasingly damaged; eventually becoming so severely compromised that they scar, causing stretch marks.The cosmetic result is an uneven distribution of fat and damaged tissue which modifies the appearance of the skin, provoking the well-known lumpy “orange skin” dimples. A cosmetic treatment against Cellulite must act in two different ways: on the fat (lipolytic effect) and on the circulation (venotonic effect).LIPOREDUCTYL ® is a pro-liposome manufactured as a multi-extrusion  composite of classical anticellulite extracts combined with the synergistic effect of a GHK tripeptide. The pro-liposomal formula ensures formation of liposomes once blended into the final preparation. Submicrodispersions are responsible for the homogenous mixture of the actives, and achieve a particle size which favours formation of special liposomes. These special liposomes ensure effective penetration, so transport of the actives to the deepest layers of the epidermis allows effective action on both the lipolytic and venotonic fronts. LIPOREDUCTYL ® contains the following actives: CAFFEINE presents a lipolytic effect: it blocks enzymes responsible for the destruction of AMPc, which is involved in triglyceride breakage. It also possesses  vasodilator properties, increasing blood flow. Therefore, it contributes in both the lipolytic and venotonic effect. DOSAGE LIPOREDUCTYL ® can be incorporated into creams, lotions, gels, sera, etc., at a dosage of 5 – 10% in order to prove effective as an anticellulite treatment.

Malachite also induces greater balance for depressive personalities, and it can develop the capacity to adapt, and the sensitivity within each of us. Malachite  is a holistic strss filter that adapts to each skin type.  The interest of dermatolodical medicine in trace elements goes back to the antiquity, with the zinc salts mentioned on Egyptian parchments and the discovery of the antiseptic power od copper salts. Today, our knowledge in this area allows us to describe the mechanisms through which certain metals act, in particular the mechanics of copper the prevalent element in Mala’kite.Targets of the effects of copper on the skin:Keratinocyte: it plays a part in the synthesis of keratin, by oxidation of the sulfhydril groups. Like zinc it plays an anti radical role by activating the cellular enzymatic system, and by linking to  the metallothionein sulfhydril compounds. Fibroblast: Copper increases the amounts of collagen and elastin produced by the fibroblasts by activating the lysyl-oxidases, inducing oxidative deamination of certain lysine and hydroxylysine residues in tropoelastin and tropocollagen.Melanocyte: it activates the tyrosinase, thus favoring synthesis of the melanin precursors with solar protection power. Suggested level of use: 1-5%

Methyl Cellulose

 

Methylcellulose and Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose are polymers that are used in many personal care products. They are primarily used as polymeric surfactants, thickeners in liquid formulations, and as binders in solid and semi-solid products. However, the ability of cellulose products to perform these primary functions with reliability and efficiency is only part of the reason for their increasing popularity with formulators. The reason is the host of important performance properties that these multi-functional ingredients deliver. In many cases, a cellulose product can replace two, three, or more ingredients, even thought it is added in extremely low concentrations. Beyond offering thickening, binding and surface active properties, cellulose products act as film formers, suspension aids, lubricants, lather enhancers/stabilizers, emulsion stabilizers, gelling agents, and dipersants. It is the unique combination of properties that sets cellulose ethers apart from other water soluble polymers. The result is an ability to improve personal care product formulations. It also allows the creation of entirely new hair care, skin care, bath and cosmetic products because product performance can often be achieved with fewer ingredients, greater control, and greater economy

Net-DG

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate

Glycyrrhiza (the dried rhizome and roots of various species of Glycyrrhiza) contains triterpene glycoside called Glycyrrhetinic acid (salts are called Glycyrrhizin) which is converted to glycyrrhetinic acid (the aglycone) and two moles of gucuronic acid (the glycone) on hydrolysis. Glycyrrhizinic acid is potentially 50 times sweeter than sucrose. Licorice (liquorice in British spelling) is the alteration of Glycyrrhiza glabra, a Mediterranean perennial plant with blue pealike blossoms. Glycyrrhiza is the active principle for sweetening, flavoring and pharmaceutical applications. It is effective in treatment of peptic ulcer. It is used in brewing and for confectionery and tobacco flavorings. It is frequently used in medicines to mask the unpleasant flavours. It has been used medicinally for highly effective coughs and as a mild laxative. It promotes the ejection of mucus or exudate from the lungs, bronchi, and trachea; sometimes extended to antitussives. Glycyrrhetinic acid has corticosteroid-like structure, thus is useful as an anti-inflammatory and co-emulsifier to treat skin disorders and in cosmetics.

Niacin

 

Vitamin B3, also called niacin, is one of eight water-soluble B vitamins. All B vitamins help the body to convert carbohydrates into glucose (sugar), which is "burned" to produce energy. These B vitamins, often referred to as B complex vitamins, are essential in the breakdown of fats and protein. B complex vitamins also play an important role in maintaining muscle tone along the digestive tract and promoting the health of the nervous system, skin, hair, eyes, mouth, and liver. Niacin plays an important role in ridding the body of toxic and harmful chemicals. It also helps the body make various sex and stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands and other parts of the body. Niacin is effective in improving circulation and reducing cholesterol levels in the blood. Niacin needs can be partially met by eating foods containing protein because the human body is able to convert tryptophan, an amino acid, into niacin. Dietary deficiency of niacin tends to only occur in areas of the world where people eat corn as a staple and don't use lime in fertilization. Corn is the only grain that is low in niacin. Lime releases tryptophan which, again, can be converted to niacin in the body. Symptoms of mild deficiency include indigestion, fatigue, canker sores, vomiting, and depression. Severe deficiency of both niacin and tryptophan can cause a condition known as pellagra. Pellagra is characterized by cracked, scaly skin, dementia, and diarrhea. It is generally treated with a nutritionally balanced diet and niacin supplements. Niacin deficiency also results in burning in the mouth and a swollen, bright red tongue In the United States alcoholism is the prime cause of Vitamin B3 deficiency.

Niacinamide USP

 

Vitamins (VYE-ta-mins) are compounds that you must have for growth and health. They are needed in small amounts only and are usually available in the foods that you eat. Niacin and niacinamide are necessary for many normal functions of the body, including normal tissue metabolism. They may have other effects as well. Lack of niacin may lead to a condition called pellagra. Pellagra causes diarrhea, stomach problems, skin problems, sores in the mouth, anemia (weak blood), and mental problems. Your health care professional may treat this by prescribing niacin for you.

Oat Extract

 

Oat (Avena sativa) is a light-green annual grass with a bushy root. Oats originated in England, France, Poland, Germany, and Russia but are now cultivated worldwide. The fruit, leaves, stem, and seeds are are used. Oats are often consumed as part of the diet and are a good source of protein, fat, and fiber. Oats are a great source of beta-glucan, which is a soluble fiber. Beta-glucan is thought to be responsible for the cholesterol-lowering effects of oat. Oat also contains alpha-tocotrienols. Oat is a member of the Poaceae/Gramineae family. Since oat is a dietary fiber, it influences the regularity of bowel movement. Oat is often used for disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, gallbladder, kidney, and cardiovascular systems. It is used for constipation, diarrhea, rheumatism, throat and chest complaints, fatigue, hypertension, lowering uric acid levels, and in tonics. Oat is said to have sedative, and diuretic effects.

Olive oil

Olive oil

Olive oil makes an excellent addition to a blend for mature or dry skin. It is suitable for use in the treatment of scalp conditions and dry skin. It does, however, have quite a distinctive colour and odour of its own, which not everyone will appreciate, and it is quite heavy. Some people will find it preferable to use olive oil in combination with another, lighter base oil.

Orange Flower Absolute

Citrus dulcis

Citrus aurantium var amara Egypt, Solvent Extracted from Blossoms Extravagant, and wonderful for the perfumers in our midst is this deep, complex absolute from the blossoms of the Bitter Orange Tree. Produced by a master extractor, this absolute is reminiscent of our Neroli essential oil, but much deeper and more complex in aroma. The undiluted absolute has a touch of a green note to it, fresh from the bottle, on dry down, and when diluted it becomes a radiant floral, rich, warm, heady. Amazingly potent even in very low dilutions or as a minute part of a blend, this Orange Blossom absolute is the perfumers dream. I am wearing it blended half and half with our Neroli essential oil, it's perfect compliment. It will add depth and heart to any blend that needs a non top note floral. Absolutely EXQUISITE! We are offering the absolute full strength, of course, and in a 10% dilution in both Fractionated coconut oil. The undiluted Orange Blossom is probably too thick to get through the orifice reducer in the bottle. It may be necessary to take the orifice reducer out and use a pipette, or warm the bottle some.

Orange Oil

Citrus dulcis

The essential oil of the Sweet Orange is delightfully bright and cheery, strongly antidepressant. . Used in the aroma lamp, it brightens the atmosphere of a room. Blended with any of the spice or coniferous oils it makes a wonderful winter holiday blend. Orange is refreshing and relaxing. It can cause photosensitivity so be careful of applying to the skin prior to exposure to sunlight. It is generally considered mild enough for use with small children.
As said earlier, of all the oils where Organic as opposed to conventional farming methods make a difference, the citrus fruit oils lead the way. After all, when a crop is sprayed with insecticides, it is the rind of the orange that is coated with and absorbs the chemicals. Many of these chemicals carry through to the essential oils, and more are contained in cold pressed oils. The use of organic cold pressed oils will eliminate the chemical residue completely.
If you love orange, you owe it to yourself to try this. If you ever use orange essential oil internally, you must have this.

Oxybenzone

 

Oxybenzone’s function is to ‘filter’ ultra violet light on the surface of the skin, converting it from light to heat, but it can also be absorbed through the skin. As yet we have not seen any research to indicate what happens when the oxybenzone is absorbed through the skin, but UV light causing cell damage is well known and readers may choose to avoid this form of sun protection. If light is converted to heat in the basal layers of the skin, damage to growing cells is very likely.

Passionflower Extract

 

Passion Flower is also known by the names Maypop, Passiflora, Flower Of The Five Wounds, Apricot Vine, and Waterlemon. It is a woody vine with flowers that reminded early (seventeenth century) pilgrims of the passion and suffering of Christ, hence the name. Passion Flower bears small berry-like fruit called granadilla or water lemon. The plant is native to North, Central, and South America. While primarily tropical, some of its 400 species can grow in colder climates. The plant is also nicknamed Maypop, descriptive of the popping sound the fruit makes when mashed. Passion Flower was first investigated scientifically less than 100 years ago when it was found to possess an analgesic (pain-killing) property, and to prevent, without side effects, sleeplessness caused by brain inflammation. Since then, the sedative properties of Passion Flower have been observed and documented in many studies. Primary chemical constituents of this herb include alkaloids (harman, harmine, harmaline, harmol, harmalol), flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin, quercitin, rutin), flavone glycosides, sterols, sugars, and gums. The flavonoids in Passion Flower are primarily responsible for its relaxing and anti-anxiety effects. Today, Passion Flower is an extremely popular herb in Europe where it is often used to induce relaxation & sleep, an effect first experimentally verified in 1920. In that study, the researcher noticed that, unlike what happens with narcotics, sleep was induced normally, with easy, light breathing, and with little or no neural or mental depression. Upon awakening, the patients showed no signs of confusion or stupor or melancholy. And Passion Flower is not addictive. In 1979, about 50 preparations on the market in Germany contained Passion Flower - 42 were sedatives, and 6 were cardio-tonics. These preparations were recommended for nervous or easily aroused children, cardiovascular neurosis, bronchial asthma, coronary diseases, weak circulation, sleep disorders, problems of concentration in school children, and geriatrics. This herb is also used to treat female anxiety during menses, childbirth and menopause. Passion Flower reduces spasms and depresses the central nervous system. Passion Flower has also been known to kill bacteria, making it a good choice for treating eye problems such as inflammation and infection. Topical applications of this herb have included use as a compress for swollen eyes, burns and skin irritations, and as a poultice or juice for burns and wounds.

PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate

(CETIOL HE)

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine

A natural, skin-identical active ingredient for Personal Care products • Naturally present in the skin • Effectively reduces the signs of acne • Inhibits the growth of micro-organisms on the skin • Reduces redness and inflamed skin• Active at very low concentrations. Properties: During the last decade, an increasing number of scientific articles report the importance of the biological role of breakdown products of Stratum Corneum lipids. Free sphingoid bases, such as Phytosphingosine are a recent addition to this family of active lipids, which emerged from studies of breakdown products from Ceramides. Free sphingoid bases are naturally found in the human body, and are present at high levels in the Stratum Corneum. Most of the published research on free sphingoid bases deals with the inhibition of micro organisms and their “second messenger” function. Because of these properties, free phingoid bases are considered to be part of the skin’s natural defence system. Recently performed in-vitro and in-vivo studies show that Phytosphingosine has anti-microbial properties against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus for example. Furthermore, additional studies confirm the biological role Phytosphingosine has as a natural anti-inflammatory agent. Consequently, free sphingoid bases seem to have a wide range of product applications, especially those addressing microbial imbalances with associated inflammation, such as Acne. In addition to the in-vitro and in-vivo studies, clinical studies have been performed on acne patients by a group of dermatologists in France, which demonstrates the potential of Phytosphingosine to enhance or complement existing acne therapies. Recommended usage concentration: 0.05 - 0.2 % Phytosphingosine, 0.05 - 0.2 % Phytosphingosine Hydrochloride

Placentol

Placental Enzymes

The use of Placentol in cosmetics and dermatological preparations is attributed to their bioactivity. Placentol induce the blood circulation on the topically applied areas in the skin and scalp peripheral vessels, hence increasing the skin respiration rate. As skin ages, the tissues oxygen uptake decreases yielding decrease in the cellular respiration and accordingly to skin degeneration and hence, wrinkles and turgor loss will take place. Due to high amino acid and enzymic contents, Placentol provide troubled skin with nutrients which might have been lost in cases of burns, irritations, abrasions and wounds and in the aging process. Such constituents facilitate the biological synthesis of the damaged skin rebuilding substances by providing oxygenous supply which  be responsible for epidermal metabolism, the healing and nourishing processes . Hence, Placentol have been mostly employed in cosmetic and some dermatological preparations designed for the poorly nourished, wrinkled and stressed skins, to provide turgor and cellular functionality.

Pluronic Polaxamer

Pluronic 38%

Pluronic F-127 gel is a polaxamer with useful as well as interesting physical characteristics. It is usually used in the 20% strength. When it is chilled, it becomes liquid, but it hardens when warmed. Opposite of what should be expected. This characteristic makes it useful in pharmaceutical compounding because it can be drawn into a syringe for accurate dose measurement when it is cold. When it warms to body temperature (when applied to skin) it thickens to a perfect consistency (especially when combined with soy lecithin/isopropyl palmitate) to facilitate proper inunction and adhesion. When chilled, the gel has a pharmaceutically elegant consistency, is odorless, colorless, and non-greasy. When applied to the skin, it thickens rapidly then penetrates and dries leaving a small amount of residue that is not uncomfortable.

In the mitochondria the beta-oxidation of fatty acids is strongly enhanced by pantatheine sulfonate and cysteic acid, that diminishes the lipid content in adipocytes and leads to a measurable, subcutaneous tissue fat diminishment.For skin preparations the recommended dosage is 0.5-3%.

Retinoic Acid

Retinoic Acid

Retin-A (Retinoic Acid) is often used to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. It produces a mild, superficial peel of the epidermis. Retin-A has effects on the both the superficial (epidermis) and the deep(dermis) parts of the skin. The major benefit is to decrease the effects of sunlight caused aging by increasing the speed with which the surface cells are replaced. In the epidermis it thins the outer later, or stratum corneum, which makes the skin more permeable. However the overall thickness of the epidermis is increased. The epidermal cells are also more active.The production of collagen in the dermis is increased.The most common problems are redness and sensitivity to the sun but serious complications are rare. If Retin-A is used repeatedly there is a risk of loss of pigment or lightning of the skin. Some patients say that the irritation is painful but scarring does not occur.

Retinol Molecular Film 0.3%

Retinol

A NEW DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR RETINOL
Retinol, chemically known as 3,7-dimethyl-9-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2,4,6,8- nonatetraen-1-ol, is the primary naturally occurring form of Vitamin A. Retinol is widely used in cosmetic and toiletries as a GRAS (generally recognized as safe)
ingredient and is necessary for the growth, maintenance and function of the skin. It helps to smoothen wrinkles and improves the appearance of the skin. However, Retinol oxidizes very rapidly and is inactivated by UV light giving a characteristic
green fluorescence.Lipotec, S.A. has recently managed to develop a New Cosmetic Delivery System for Retinol that ensures stabilization of the molecule without oxidation and enhances cutaneous absorption of Vitamin A through the epidermis. This particular Delivery
System for Retinol is a Molecular Film, a very thin monolayer functional film that spreads very well on the epidermis favouring cutaneous absorption of the vitamin. Retinol Molecular Film is obtained at 12,000 p.s.i. under microfluidizing conditions. This oil-soluble Molecular Film is very occlusive and exhibits, apart from the benefits inherent to Retinol itself, a significative moisturizing profile demonstrated through
COSMETIC PROPERTIES
ü Enhances cutaneous absorption of Retinol.
ü Improves the growth of skin cells and ensures maintenance and function of skin.
ü Prevents premature ageing of the skin.
ü The incorporation of Retinol into the Molecular Film Delivery System ensures complete stabilization, without oxidation of the Retinol molecule.
DOSAGE
RETINOL MOLECULAR FILM FLUID is available in 2 presentations: at 0.1 % and at 0.3 %. They can both be incorporated into the desired formulations at the final stage of the manufacturing process, provided temperature is no higher that 40 o C. Dosage is up to the customer although usual concentration in the final formulation is generally about 0.5 to 1 %.

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A Palmitate

Retinol is just a fancy name for vitamin A or, to be more accurate, retinol is one of several natural forms of vitamin A. Other forms of vitamin A include retinal and retinyl palmitate. As opposed to many other vitamins, vitamin A does not have much of a direct biological effect. It works via its active metabolite (biochemical derivative) called retinoic acid. Only retinoic acid has direct effect on skin cells and can adjust their metabolism toward a more youthful state. In fact, retinoic acid a.k.a. tretinoin is the active ingredient in Retin A and Renova - some of the best known anti-wrinkle creams (see our artcile on tretinoin). The good news is that skin cells have the "equipment" (specialized enzymes) converting various forms of vitamin A into retinoic acid. Indeed, if sufficient amounts of retinol, retinal or retinyl palmitate are added to the culture of skin cells, the amount of retinoic acid in the cells markedly increases. Why then many retinol creams are virtually useless? The main reason is that they do not deliver enough retinol in skin cell. The rate of conversion of retinol into retinoic acid is low, so a relatively large amount of retinol needs to be delivered into a cell to produce significant effect. Most creams simply have too little retinol for that. Simply increasing the amount of retinol doesn't quite work for two reasons. Firstly, a cream with too high a concentration of retinol may be almost as irritating as retinoic acid. Secondly, retinol is relatively unstable, so most creams lose potency during storage and use. What can be done? One possibility is to prepare one's own retinol cream. If retinol concentration is made moderately high (but not too high) it may be enough to produce skin benefits but low enough to avoid skin irritation. Furthermore, if a cream is used up soon after is has been prepared, retinol does not have time to degrade too much. For more on making your own retinol cream see DIY Anti-Aging Skin Care Infopack. There are some new technologies to help to increase the amount of retinoic acid in skin cells while limiting skin irritation. Firstly, retinyl palmitate appears to be a better alternative than retinol because it is less irritating and may be used at higher concentrations than retinol. (Just as retinol, retinyl palmitate is converted to retinoic acid inside skin cells.) Another enhancement is to make retinol or retinyl palmitate better able to penetrate the skin. This can be done, for instance, by chemical modification or by encasing retinol (or retinyl palmitate) in special carrier particles, such as micelles or lyposomes. Preliminary research studies indicate that the products based on these new methods are at least somewhat effective (albeit less than retinoic acid) and less irritating.

Salicylic Acid(SA125P)

Salicylic acid also has been studied for its effect on skin that has aged prematurely due to exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. It exfoliates skin, and can improve the texture and color of the skin. It penetrates oil-laden hair follicle openings and, as a result, also helps with acne. There are many skin care products available that contain salicylic acid. Some are available over-the-counter and others require a doctor's prescription. Studies have shown that salicylic acid is less irritating than skin care products containing alpha-hydroxy acids, while providing similar  improvement in skin texture and color.

Potato Starch Phosphate

STRUCTURE® SOLANACE (28-1808) is a unique naturally derived product for the skin care market. The starch istargeted for use in low pH skin care emulsions, but may also find applicability in a variety of other skin and hair carecosmetics. The STRUCTURE SOLANACE is a novel raw material that performs as a rheological additive, providingthickening properties and emulsion stabilization while leaving excellent, long lasting after feel. This combination ofproperties is especially difficult to achieve in low pH systems such as alpha hydroxy acid emulsions, where low pH,acceptable viscosity/rheology, and good aesthetics are essential. The starch functions at low pH to provide stableviscosity and pH over time, both at ambient and accelerated aging conditions.

Structure Zea

Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate

One of the most unique attributes of STRUCTURE ZEA is its ability to readily disperse in cold water. This makes it ideally suited for powdered bleaches and dyes, where instant dispersability and good thickening is required, and where dusting, lumping, and mixing time should be minimized. In products like skin creams and hair rinses, STRUCTURE ZEA can aid in emulsion stabilization, aesthetics enhancement, and viscosity build. An emulsion containing STRUCTURE ZEA will look and feel creamier, richer and more substantive. And because STRUCTURE ZEA is so readily cold water dispersable, no separate mixing tanks are needed, and manufacturing efficiencies can be greatly enhanced.

Squalene

 

Squalene, a byproduct of natural Vitamin A commercial production, also is converted on its biochemical path to cholesterol synthesis, into 7-dehydrocholesterol, which on irradiation becomes Vitamin D. The very limited percutaneous absorption of Vitamin A in enhanced when the vitamin is dissolved in Squalene. Studies in relation to its presence in ovarian dermoid cysts and depot fat of women led to its identification in vernix caseosa. It was then postulated that Squalene plays an important part in embryological development. Investigation of the fungistatic effect of sebum on skin surfaces led to the observation that certain carcinogenic chemicals are inactivated when exposed to Squalene over a period of time. Further studies on patients with epidermoid carcinoma suggested that Squalene served as a protective agent in human sebum, as this is the usual type of carcinoma which arises after exposure to carcinogenic hydrocarbons, excessive exposure to sunlight, and ultraviolet rays."

Tocotrienol40

Tocotrienols, Tocopherols

Tocotrienols are in the class of Vitamin E compounds along with tocopherols. They basically consist of a double ring structure called the chromanol head and an isoprenoid tail (similar to coenzyme Q10). Depending upon whether the chromanol head has 3, 2, or 1 methyl groups attached and where these groups are attached they are called alpha, gamma, delta, and beta tocotrienols/tocopherols. The major difference between the tocotrienols and the tocopherols is that the tail is saturated in the case of the tocopherols, but is polyunsaturated in the case of the tocotrienols. As with the fatty acids, a polyunsaturated structure means that the molecule is more reactive and more fluid. This means, for example, that alpha tocotrienol would be much more protective of cell membranes than alpha tocopherol and would more easily be regenerated by Vitamin C. In fact, research has shown that in cell membranes alpha tocotrienol is 40-60 times more protective against free radicals than alpha tocopherol. Other research has shown gamma tocotrienol to block enzymatically the synthesis of cholesterol. In addition, tocotrienols: 1) may reduce arterial plaques and enhance blood flow, 2) are potent inhibitors of platelet aggregation and thromboxane, 3) protect serum lipids from oxidation, including LDL and HDL, 4) reduce carotid stenosis (narrowing) and may help prevent stroke, 5) serve as a trap to harmful nitrogenous radicals, 6) are anti-proliferative and anti-cancer agents, and 6) provide powerful oxidative defense for the skin.

Tretinoin

 

 

Triethanolamine N.F.

(Trolamine)

This ingredient is used as a pH balancer in cosmetic preparations in a variety of different products - ranging from skin lotion, eye gels, moisturizers, shampoos, shaving foams etc. As with any amines, it may have the potential to create nitrosamines, but with the low concentrations used in cosmetic products the chances of that happening is very slim and it is further theorized that nitrosamines cannot penetrate the skin.

In a cream or lotion, it can be used to moisturize and nourish the skin and is specifically beneficial for dry, irritated and dehydrated skin. It is also helpful in reducing wrinkles and stretch marks and to improve the tone of slack skin, as well as helping wounds to heal.

Vitamin B6

Pyridoxine HCL

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that exists in three major chemical forms: pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine. It performs a wide variety of functions in your body and is essential for your good health. For example, vitamin B6 is needed for more than 100 enzymes involved in protein metabolism. It is also essential for red blood cell metabolism. The nervous and immune systems need vitamin B6 to function efficiently, and it is also needed for the conversion of tryptophan (an amino acid) to niacin (a vitamin). Hemoglobin within red blood cells carries oxygen to tissues. Your body needs vitamin B6 to make hemoglobin. Vitamin B6 also helps increase the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin. A vitamin B6 deficiency can result in a form of anemia that is similar to iron deficiency anemia. Calories, protein, vitamins, and minerals are all important to your immune system because they promote the growth of white blood cells that directly fight infections. Because of its involvement in protein metabolism and cellular growth Vitamin B6 is important to the immune system. It helps maintain the health of lymphoid organs (thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes) that make your white blood cells. Animal studies show that a vitamin B6 deficiency can decrease your antibody production and suppress your immune response. Vitamin B6 also helps maintain your blood glucose (sugar) within a normal range. When caloric intake is low your body needs vitamin B6 to help convert stored carbohydrate or other nutrients to glucose to maintain normal blood sugar levels. While a shortage of vitamin B6 will limit these functions, supplements of this vitamin do not enhance them in well-nourished individuals.

Vitamin C

Ascorbic Acid

” how good you can look and feel! Vitamin C is well-known for its superior antioxidant / immune support, and for promoting the health of joints.** It is also involved in collagen formation, which is important for healthy nails, skin and hair.

(Vitamin C Palmitate)

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate is a synthetic ester comprised of the 16-carbon chain saturated fatty acid palmitic acid and L-ascorbic acid. The ester linkage is at the 6 carbon of ascorbic acid. It is used as an antioxidant in foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and is also used as a preservative for the natural oils, oleates, fragrances, colors, vitamins and other edible oils and waxes which are used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and foods. Ascorbyl palmitate is a white or yellowish powder having a slight odor. It is very slightly soluble in water and in vegetable oils. Ascorbic acid comprises 42.5% of the weight of ascorbyl palmitate. Its molecular weight is 414.54 daltons and its empirical formula is C22H38O7. Ascorbyl palmitate is also known as vitamin C palmitate, L-ascorbyl-6-palmitate and 3-oxo-L-gulofuranolactone 6-palmitate. Ascorbyl palmitate is marketed as a nutritional supplement and claimed by some to be a superior delivery form of vitamin C. Since ascorbyl palmitate is a fat-soluble derivative of ascorbic acid, theoretically it can concentrate into the lipid domains of biological systems and protect cell membranes and low density lipoproteins (LDL) against oxidation.

VitaminE Acetate

Tocopheryl Acetate

All forms of vitamin E possess antioxidant activity. However, the only forms maintained in human plasma and tissue are the 2R-alpha forms, including the natural RRR-alpha-tocopherol, commonly known as d-alpha-tocopherol. Vitamin E is the principal antioxidant of the lipid domains of the body, such as cellular membranes. It is a chain-breaking antioxidant that prevents the propagation of free radical activities. It is a peroxyl radical scavenger and especially protects the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) within membrane phospholipids and in plasma lipoproteins (LDL) against oxidation. The hydroxyl group of the chromanol ring reacts with an organic peroxyl radical to form the corresponding organic hydroperoxide and the tocopheroxyl radical. The tocopheroxyl radical is the pro-oxidant form of vitamin E and is thought to be regenerated to the antioxidant form by a network of other antioxidants, including vitamin C and glutathione. Vitamin E, widely recognized for its antioxidant activities, appears to be protective against cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer in some individuals. It has demonstrated immune-enhancing effects. It may be of limited benefit in some with asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. It may also help protect skin from ultraviolet irradiation. Claims that it reverses skin aging, enhances male fertility and exercise performance are poorly supported.

Vitamin E Succinate

 USP (V1035P)

Vitamin E compounds are usually produced and made available in esterified form as alpha-tocopheryl acetate or alpha-tocopheryl succinate. Neither of these forms has any antioxidant activity until converted to alpha-tocopherol in the body, but they are much more stable with respect to storage time and temperature than the unesterified forms. Moreover, while the acetate form is rapidly activated within the body, activation of the succinate form is slower. The succinate form appears to access and benefit areas of the tissues that are unavailable to the other forms. For this reason, there is a tendency to regard alpha-tocopherol succinate as a distinctly different and beneficial compound. Alpha-tocopherol succinate appears to have longer half-life in the body, and does not interfere with vitamin A or K absorption. Serious vitamin takers prefer cold-water dispersible dry powder vitamin E supplements in the form of alpha-tocopheryl succinate or acetate because the cold-water dispersible forms are efficiently absorbed even when taken on an empty stomach or with a low-fat meal. The non-cold water dispersible (oil) forms of vitamin E may be poorly absorbed unless taken with several grams of fats or oils. Cold-water dispersible vitamin E is more efficiently absorbed than some other forms. Both “acetate” and “succinate” vitamin E can come from natural sources. The importance to the consumer is how well the vitamin E absorbs into the bloodstream. Cold-water dispersible vitamin E, whether in a succinate or acetate form, always comes in a white dry powder, while non-cold water dispersible natural and synthetic acetate forms of vitamin E are always in a thick brown oil.

Vitamin K1

phytonadione

Vitamin K1 was named phylloquinone since it is an indirect product of photosynthesis in plant leaves where it occurs in chloroplasts and participates in the overall photosynthetic process. The methyl naphthoquinone ring has a phytyl side chain (partially saturated polyisoprenoid alcohol). Anticoagulant rodenticides interfere with the vitamin K-dependent carboxylation of factors II, VII, IX and X by inhibiting the epoxide-reductase enzyme necessary for the recycling of vitamin K, thus depleting body stores of vitamin K. As a result, only nonfunctional precursors of the vitamin K-dependent factors are synthesized. Coumarin compounds including warfarin, coumafuryl, brodifacoum, and bromadiolone have a half-life of up to 55 hours. In contrast, indanedione compounds (pindone, valone, diphacinone and chlorophacinone) have a half-life as long as 4 to 5 days and can affect hemostasis for as long as 30 days. In addition, the indanedione compounds may interfere with exocrine pancreatic function resulting in reduced intestinal absorption of vitamin K. It is insoluble in water, soluble in chloroform and slightly soluble in ethanol. It has a molecular weight of 450.70
