Ceramides are the main component of our uppermost layer of skin (the stratum corneum) and form a protective layer that protects the skin from moisture loss and external irritants. As we age and are damaged by the sun, the effectiveness of the natural ceramides in our skin decreases. The consequences are drier and rougher skin and signs of irritation and redness. By adding ceramides, the skin barrier can be repaired and the skin protected from irritation. Since ceramides help to relieve irritation and redness of the skin, they are an indispensable Active ingredient for dry and irritated skin conditions.

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a single-chain, non-glycosylated protein found in the fibroblast cells. It is naturally present in the skin cell. In skin care, EGF has a positive effect on skin growth. It increases collagen production and stimulates cell renewal by inducing the healing process in healthy cells. As a result, it works against visible signs of skin aging. It may protect against skin lesions in atopic dermatitis by regulating the skin barrier function.

Green tea is an antioxidant that is extracted from the leaves and buds of the tea plant Camellia sinensis. Green tea mainly contains the antioxidants catechin and polyphenol. These help to neutralize free radicals and reduce signs of skin aging. Green tea also has a calming and anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. It also has a pore-refining effect due to the tannins it contains.

Ginseng is one of the oldest natural remedies in the world and an effective anti-aging agent against wrinkles. Thanks to the intensive moisturizing effect of ginseng, the elasticity of the skin increases significantly. Dry skin is gradually plumped up and tightened. This way, a pale complexion or fine Lines are reduced and the skin regains its healthy glow.

This special natural extract stimulates general skin functions and cell renewal by improving blood circulation in the skin. Ginseng therefore ensures that the skin cells are better supplied with important vital substances and has a skin-regenerating effect.

Ginseng also makes your skin lighter. It has the ability to protect the skin from UVB rays and thus reduce photodamage.

Glycerin is an ingredient that is hygroscopic (or a humectant). This means that it can absorb moisture or water from the environment and helps to retain this moisture in the skin. It is absorbed by the skin and mimics the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF). Glycerin has the property of helping the skin to regenerate and repair itself. Another property of glycerin is to protect the skin from environmental irritation. When combined with an occlusive agent, glycerin helps to lock moisture into the skin and helps to keep the skin soft and supple.

Hyaluronic acid is hydrophilic and therefore has the ability to draw moisture or water from the environment and hold it. It is naturally present in the connective tissue of the skin. With advancing age, the body's own production of hyaluronic acid decreases and can be replaced via topical skin care. absorbed. Different sizes (short, medium and long chain) of hyaluronic acid can be used in skin care. Depending on the length of the hyaluronic acid chain, the active ingredient penetrates to different depths. The lower the chain, the deeper the active ingredient penetrates.

Long-chain hyaluronic acid cannot penetrate the skin barrier and forms a film on the skin. This improves the elasticity and moisture content of the skin. This hyaluronic acid is also nourishing and soothing due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Medium-chain hyaluronic acid is absorbed into the skin and ensures plump and firm skin by storing moisture in the skin's connective tissue. Short-chain hyaluronic acid is the smallest hyaluronic acid and therefore penetrates deeper into the skin than hyaluronic acids of other sizes.

Chamomile is extracted from the chamomile flower and contains, among other things, alpha-bisabolol, blue chamazulene, farnesene and polyenes. These provide the anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antipruritic properties of chamomile. By using chamomile in skin care, skin irritations can be reduced and skin regeneration can be accelerated. This makes chamomile suitable for sensitive and dry skin.

Lactic acid is one of the alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), which act on the surface of the skin and are water-soluble. Lactic acid can therefore gently dissolve dead skin cells on the surface of the skin and moisturize the skin. This allows the active ingredients to be more easily absorbed by the skin and improves the overall appearance of the skin. Lactic acid can also work against excessive keratinization and refines pores.

Moss extract (MossCellTech) is an active ingredient that has the property of inhibiting the breakdown of collagen. It also helps to reduce pigment spots and thus has a positive effect on the skin's appearance.

Panthenol is also called provitamin B5 or dexpanthenol. It is a provitamin - a precursor or substance that the body can convert into a certain vitamin - B5. Panthenol has the property of binding moisture. Panthenol draws water into the cells and keeps it in the tissue, providing a feeling of well-being and an improved complexion. This increases the moisture level and elasticity of the skin. It increases the skin's moisture and supports our skin barrier. It has an anti-inflammatory effect over a longer period of time and relieves irritated, tight and dry skin. It is very suitable for irritated skin conditions. The healing effect has been clinically proven. This is why panthenol is often a component of wound ointments.

Peptides in general are components of proteins and are themselves made up of amino acids. Proteins and therefore peptides are naturally found in the skin. They give the skin its elasticity and firmness. In skin care, peptides can therefore improve the complexion and refresh the skin. Some peptides can, for example, have a soothing effect on the skin.

Platinum peptides contain an anti-wrinkle ingredient that improves collagen formation and skin elasticity. This leads to a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles on the skin. The active ingredient is bound to the surface of a platinum particle, which promotes the solubility and stabilization of the active ingredient. This binding makes the active ingredient more effective than free peptides.

Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants. It protects collagen from damage caused by free radicals and inhibits collagen-degrading enzymes. Astaxanthin stimulates collagen synthesis and ensures a smooth complexion and firm skin in the long term.

Protox complex consists of olive leaf extracts, jujube extracts and levan. The combination of these active ingredients makes our protox complex rich in antioxidants and has a very moisturizing effect. The jujube is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C and helps the body to protect itself from harmful free radicals and prevents the formation of oxidized proteins. The olive leaf extracts contained in the protox complex protect the skin with additional antioxidants and moisturize the skin. The extract activates the proteasome, which allows oxidized proteins to be broken down more effectively. The levan has an anti-inflammatory effect and a moisturizing effect like hyaluronic acid.
