Goji Berry Extract:
the Goji Berries, with their natural anti-ageing properties, are now recognized as one of the fruits with the most antioxidant powers on the planet, as well as being rich in vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, polysaccharides, fatty acids (essential, linoleic and alpha-linoleic) and other valuable nutrients. They contain more beta-carotene than carrots (an important pigment that, converted into vitamin A by our body, helps it to fight free radicals, in the growth and repair of tissues, in the protection of pollutants and, converted into retinol, to protect eye health). The berries contain more iron than spinach and more protein than cereals; they have 21 minerals, including zinc, copper, potassium, calcium, selenium, contain 18 amino acids, vitamin E, and 500 times the amount of vitamin C contained in oranges; vitamins B1, B2 and B6 that facilitate the construction of new cells and the functioning of the nervous system.
Botanical Collagen (Acacia Senegal):
Collagen is a very important protein that our body produces and that serves above all to protect and maintain elasticity of the skin. In order to use only products of vegetal origin, has been searched a molecule that could replace those of animal origin, and has been identified in the Acacia of Senegal, a tree of tropical origin which, in fact, grows mainly in Senegal, where it is considered a national treasure.
Elastin:
a protein that forms the elastic fibres of connective tissues, is produced by cells called fibroblasts and its fundamental task is to give elasticity and tone to the skin. It is mainly composed of amino acids and constitutes the connective tissue. Elastin forms, together with Collagen and Fibronectin (the protein responsible for healing), the skin’s support network. Our body synthesizes elastin throughout its development, up to the age of about 20 years. In adulthood, the production of Elastin is progressively reduced, causing the loss of firmness, elasticity and compactness of the skin, facilitating the onset of wrinkles and stretch marks. The external supply of Elastin helps to counteract the ageing process and the appearance of the first wrinkles.
Hyaluronic Acid:
is a natural molecule of our organism (connective tissues), as a gel binds together collagen and elastic fibers and gives the skin resistance and mechanical protection to the skin. The artificially produced Hyaluronic Acid is identical to the natural one and for this reason it does not pose problems of allergies. It is famous for its immediate lifting and anti-ageing effect, it is responsible for the firmness of the skin, maintaining the right level of moisture, thanks to its ability to retain water inside the epidermis. The topical application determines the formation of an external film that reduces transpiratio insensibilis ensuring a soft, smooth and hydrated skin.
