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.
