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.

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 |
Vitamin C Palmitate |
Since ascorbyl palmitate is a fat-soluble derivative of ascorbic acid,

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 |
C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Tribehenin, Ceramide 2, PEG 10 Rapeseed Sterel,
Palmitoyl Oligopeptide |
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. |

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. |
