Lactic acid
maintains skin’s natural pH.
Lactobacillus strain
combined with three amino acids develops a biotechnological active principle
that produces precursors of phosphocreatine which is a source of energy that
revitalizes depleted connective tissue and reactivates elements required to
support skin structure.
Lactococcus ferment lysate
moisturizes, firms and smoothes.
Laminaria saccharina
eliminates bacterial wastes and regulates sebaceous gland activity. Lipolytic
and differentiated action to control irritation. Revitalizes and stimulates
skin.
Laneth-10 acetate
is sebum-compatible to perfectly remove any kind of impurities from the skin.
Laneth-10 acetate allows for perfect cleansing and a complete rinse.
Linoleic / Arachidonic acids
rebalance cell membranes and restore the correct metabolism of lipids. Linoleic
acid prevents dryness and roughness due to its emulsifying properties.
Lysine
is an amino acid essential to the re-synthesis of skin proteins. A basic constituent
of keratin structures, it protects their integrity by preventing dehydration.
Lysine demonstrates anti-aging properties, repairs UV damage, and is a strong
but non-aggressive anti-seborrheic.
Magnesium and potassium aspartate
are anti-edema and lipolytic.
Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate
and cyclodextrin ascorbyl palmitate is a combination of two forms of Vitamin
C that facilitates maximum cutaneous absorption in conjunction with skin lightening,
collagen formation, and anti-free radical activity.
Malaleuca alternifolia decongests,
prevents scar formation, and soothes the skin.
Melanin
Amount and type of melanin creates pigment which is the primary determinant of skin color. Dermal melanin is produced by melanocytes which are found in the statum basale of the epidermis.
Melanocytes
(wikipedia.com) Melanocytes are cells located in the bottom layer of the epidermis. Through a process called melanogenesis they produce melanin. The difference between fair and dark skin is not the number but how active.
Melanosome
(medscape.com) A cellular organelle containing melanin. A determining factor of skin color is the distribution of melanosomes within keratinocytes.
Methoxy PEG-7 rutinyl succinate
is vasoprotective. Reinforces capillary walls.
Niacinamide
prevents moisture loss.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)
plays a vital role in metabolic processes, and is an essential component of
cellular respiration. Highly antioxidant, NADH acts both autonomously and
as a re-activator of other ingredients.
Octyl methoxycinnamate
is a UV filter.
Octyl methoxycinnamate, benzophenone-3 and titanium dioxide
work together to form a UV filtering system.
Oliogoelement Microcomplex
is comprised of calcium, magnesium, iron, aluminum, silica sodium and potassium
that work together to stimulate all enzymatic and metabolic reactions of the
tissues to eliminate toxins.
Organic Fraction
is comprised of zinc gluconate, copper gluconate, and magnesium aspartate
to enhance the absorbed energy of the inorganic fraction. The organic fraction
oxygenates and eliminates dead skin cells.
Osmocide
is a polysaccharide complex that bonds water molecules together to prevent
evaporation. Osmocide also counteracts skin irritations.
