key ingredients

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 (Syn®Coll): Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, also known as Syn-Coll, is a peptide renowned for its remarkable ability to stimulate collagen synthesis within the skin. As collagen is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness, the presence of Syn-Coll assists in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. By encouraging collagen production, Syn-Coll aids in achieving a smoother, more youthful complexion.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline® Amplified): A type of peptide that targets expression wrinkles with superior activity and added post-expression relaxation and anti-aging effects. Due to its mechanism of action, it is often referred to as a “botox effect” peptide, as it works in a similar way to botulinum toxin (Botox): it inhibits muscle contraction, thereby relaxing the skin and helping to reduce the depth and visibility of wrinkles. The “Amplified” version is an improved form of the compound, which shows improved efficacy, not only targeting the surface layers, but also penetrating into the deeper layers of the skin, visibly transforming tired, dull, aging skin into a glowing and youthful complexion.

Squalane: Squalane is a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizing agent derived from olives, a natural component of human skin. Its emollient properties enable it to deeply hydrate the skin without leaving a greasy residue. Squalane helps restore the skin’s lipid barrier, enhancing its suppleness and resilience. It is an ideal ingredient for maintaining skin moisture and promoting a smooth, plump complexion.

Sodium Hyaluronate: Sodium Hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, a hydrating molecule naturally present in the skin. It possesses exceptional water-binding capabilities, enabling it to attract and retain moisture within the skin’s layers. Sodium Hyaluronate provides intense hydration, helping to plump and firm the skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its moisturizing properties contribute to a more youthful and radiant complexion.

Shea Butter: Shea Butter is a rich and nourishing emollient, packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, Shea Butter deeply moisturizes and conditions the skin.
