Hydrolysed collagen is the further processed form of collagen. The proteins in the gelatine are fragmented into smaller pieces by enzymes. This process is known as hydrolysis. The resulting hydrolysed Collagen can be more easily absorbed by the skin and the body.
Sericin, the silk protein gently extracted from our cocoons, is a structural protein that binds particularly well with the skin's keratin and is optimally absorbed by the skin. Sericin has extremely high moisturising properties. One ampoule contains as much sericin as an entire cocoon.
Fibroin is a fibre protein and as such is the main component of silk. In skincare, it helps to repair and strengthen damaged collagen fibres in the skin, making the skin look firmer and tighter. It also provides a lot of moisture, similar to the popular hyaluronic acid.
Troxerutin, naturally occurring flavonol is a type of most stable flavonoid extracted from Sophora japonica buds. Troxerutin is a hydroxyethylrutoside derived from rutin in a semi-synthetic process. Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds found in most fruits and vegetables. Troxerutin is an effective antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent and also has an antibacterial effect. It improves microcirculation and helps to promote new angiogenesis.
Mannitol is a low molecular weight sugar that has a long-standing and well-studied safety profile in medicine and pharmacology. It combines moisturising and antioxidant properties that make it an ideal ingredient for use in skin care formulations. In addition, mannitol is a powerful free radical scavenger that protects dermal cell membranes and extracellular matrix components from reactive oxygen species and products of UV radiation. It can also break up bacterial films, making mannitol useful in acne treatment products.
Hyaluron has the ability to bind large amounts of water and plump up the skin. By combining Microneedling with hyaluronic acids, both the superficial epidermis and deep layers of the skin can be moisturised. The result is a fresh, youthful complexion with a volumising effect.
Ectoin is able to increase moisture in the skin cells. As a result, it has a hydrating, wrinkle-reducing, smoothing and regenerating effect. It inhibits inflammation and soothes irritated skin. It also protects the skin from the effects of UV radiation and extrinsic skin ageing.
Niacinamide is a very well tolerated and stable Vitamin B3 derivative. It is particularly valuable for freshly perforated skin as it has an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and soothing effect. A major advantage is that, unlike many substitutes, it does not dry out or irritate the skin.
