Plankton
Origin: Mediterranean Sea

Our plankton composition is derived from a multitude of related species from the Mediterranean region. This compounds contains a variety of important amino acids (Arginine, Glycine, Lysine, Alanine, Glutamic acid, Aspartic acid, Leucine, Valine, Serine, Threonine, Proline, Isoleucine, Histidine, Thyrosine, Phenylalanine, Taurine, Methionine, Cysteine/Cystine) and lipids (Fatty acid esters, Triglycerides, Free fatty acids, Phospholipids, Hydrocarbons). The particular species included in the extract are as follows: larva states, Actimula sp., Pilidium sp., Nauplios sp., Zoeas sp., Veliger sp., Ochiopluteus sp., Various copepods, Natantia sp., Podon sp., Ewadne sp., Phyllirhoe sp., Pelagothuria bouvieri, Filodocides, Tifloscoledides, Tomopterides, Chaetoceros compressus, Chaetoceros affinis, Chaetoceros decipiens, Thalassiothrix frauenfeldii, Rhizosolenia alata, Rhizosolenia imbr shrubsolei, Skeletonema sp., Cryptomonas sp., Nitzschia delicatissima, Nitzschia seriata, Ceratium furca, Ceratium massiliense, Ceratium candelabrum, Guinardia flaccida, Hemiaulus hauckii, Thalassionema nitzschioides, Asterionella sp., Goniodoma polyedricum, Bacteriastrum delicatulum. Its Glucides offer moisturizing benefits while oligoelements and iodine offer lipolitic action. Oligoelements and free amino acids offer tissue restructuring, making plankton a star nutrient.


 

Actiplus
Origin: United States

Actiplus blends the clinically-proven, long-term action of botanicals with the immediate effects of alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), and meadowsweet extract, a naturally rich source of salicylic acid (which is a clinical beta hydroxy acid or BHA). Actiplus also contains hydrocotyl extract which is clinically proven to strengthen the skin, promote connective tissue vascularization and increase collagen synthesis. Studies have shown that alpha and beta hydroxy acids are versatile anti-aging ingredients, which provide immediate exfoliation and long-term skin benefits. In a clinical study, an Actiplus solution was compared with a salicylic acid control solution (at maximum allowed concentrations); the Actiplus solution yielded a 27.8% increase in cell renewal versus the 21.2% increase with the salicylic acid solution.


 

Hyaluronic Acid
Origin: Denmark

Hyaluronic Acid is present abundantly in youthful skin and provides maximal below-surface hydration. It protects youthful skin features, smoothes the skin’s appearance and unconditionally magnifies the absorption of other active principles. This vital ingredient was recently praised by the BBC as the single most important compound that contributes to the astonishing youthfulness of the very old in the small town of Yuyao in Japan.


 

Regu®-Seb
Origin: Switzerland

Regu®-Seb is a solution containing polyphenol-rich fractions of the fruits of the North American saw palmetto and South American sesame seeds in a Moroccan argan oil base. Its perfectly balanced polyphenol formula, consisting mostly of lignans and phytosterols, helps to inhibit the formation of 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for the overproduction of sebum. Regu®-Seb controls and reduces sebum production, especially in the T-zone area of the face. In particular, this active decreases the severity of Seborrheic Dermatitis by up to 46% and normalizes the secretion of sebum.


 

Sebonormine®
Origin: Switzerland

Sebonormine® brings together multiple patents to remedy and control excess sebum. Its strong triple action is based on tannic polyphenols. Also rich in gallic and ellagic tannins, this active:

(a) Reduces keratinocyte synthesis of 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme responsible for the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), an androgen hormone that stimulates the sebaceous glands;

(b) Limits the excretion of surface sebum with rich gallic and ellagic tannins, while significantly reducing skin pore size;

(c) Prevents the proliferation of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Propionibacterium acnes, the main bacteria responsible for irritation and formation of acne. This concentrated plant-based active restores a fine skin with a regular grain, eliminating the aesthetic and psychological discomfort associated with shiny skin, acne and seborrheic dermatitis.
