-
Dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline: Dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline, a derivative of the amino acid involved in the formation of new collagen, is considered a highly effective, comprehensive lifting active ingredient. It offers a 3-fold firming effect and provides intensive moisture at the same time. Thanks to its regenerating properties, it gives the skin more elasticity and firmness. Dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline has a long-lasting firming and moisturizing effect on the skin. It reduces the appearance of wrinkles by giving the skin volume, suppleness and elasticity. Clinical studies have shown that it reduces wrinkles by up to 32% and increases skin firmness by 14%.
-
Alaria Esculenta Algae Extract: The highly effective extract from brown algae is rich in antioxidants that protect our body cells from free radicals and prevent skin ageing. It improves the skin's elasticity and reduces fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a firmer and more youthful complexion. Alaria esculenta algae extract also has the ability to retain and release moisture. This makes it an excellent moisturizer. The skin is optimally hydrated and feels soft and supple. At the same time, it has anti-inflammatory properties and can soothe redness and calm the skin.
-
Baobab Extract: High-performance extract derived from the fruit of the baobab tree combines the benefits of a new generation of Botox-like action with nature's own ingredients. Study participants confirmed a +67% immediate lifting effect and a reduction of crow's feet by a quarter within 5 minutes. The highly effective power ingredient has a skin-soothing and anti-inflammatory effect. The tiny molecules of the baobab fruit stimulate the connective tissue cells to produce collagen and elastin. Moisture is increasingly bound again - giving the skin a rosy, fresh and plump appearance.
-
Maca peptides: With their antioxidant properties, peptides from the organic maca root activate cell renewal and effectively support the skin's natural regeneration process. At the same time, they promote the skin's elasticity and reduce the visible signs of ageing. Maca peptides can therefore also be classified as high-performance natural lifting agents. They strengthen the skin's natural radiance and give the skin a supple, rejuvenated and fresh appearance.
-
Saccaride Isomerate: Acts as a "moisture magnet" - Saccharide Isomerate is known for its ability to provide the skin with deep and long-lasting moisture. The highly effective power ingredient forms a moisture-retaining barrier that helps to prevent water loss and maintain optimal moisture levels. This property is important for keeping the skin plump, supple and moisturized. The immediate hydration lasts for 72 hours. Saccharide Isomerate also has calming and soothing properties. It intensively smoothes, rebuilds the skin barrier and gives the complexion a rosy, fresh appearance.
-
Tremella Fuciformis: The vital mushroom Tremella Fuciformis, also known as organic hyaluronic acid, has even stronger moisture-binding properties than the tried and tested hyaluronic acid. Tremella Fuciformis provides intensive moisture and is considered a game changer in the anti-ageing sector. It has an anti-irritant, anti-inflammatory effect and is rich in antioxidants in the form of polysaccharides, B vitamins, vitamins D and C and minerals.
-
Milk thistle oleosomes: Milk thistle oleosomes ensure that the skin can perform its storage functions down to the deepest layers - for a plumper appearance. Oleosomes melt on contact with the skin and continuously release their contents. The ingredients in the oleosome do not lose their effectiveness, as the active ingredients are protected in the natural protein shell and are only released when applied to the skin. They are absorbed deep into the skin to achieve truly outstanding performance and provide the skin with long-term nourishment and moisture.
-
Hamamelis hydrolates: Hamamelis, also known as witch hazel, is a plant genus within the witch hazel family. Witch hazel hydrolates have regenerating, anti-inflammatory, soothing and revitalizing properties. They are suitable for the care of brittle, dry, sensitive or large-pored skin. The leaves of witch hazel also contain simple and oligomeric polyanthocyanidins (OPC). They are considered one of the strongest and most effective antioxidants and are therefore very good scavengers of free radicals. The tannins ensure that the pores tighten, which can reduce the flow of sebum. Together with the anti-inflammatory effect, this often has the effect of reducing impurities on oily skin. The skin can become more resistant and smoother and the pores finer. Witch hazel is a valuable medicinal plant that can work its magic in many different ways. It promotes cell division and regeneration of the skin. Its effect can therefore be used optimally for sun damage, minor injuries such as injections and scars.

Acetyl glucosamine: Acetyl glucosamine is one of two building blocks of hyaluronic acid. It is a derivative of glucose, i.e. a sugar derivative. As a partial building block of the body's own hyaluronic acid, it stimulates the skin's own polymer. As a result, dry skin is better supplied with an important moisturizing factor. Skin hydration is thus improved. It also reduces the flakiness of the skin. Acetyl glucosamine also has a positive effect on hyperpigmentation. It prevents the enzyme tyrosinase from being activated in the skin. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme in the synthesis of the skin pigment melanin. By inhibiting the activation of tyrosinase, less melanin is produced and hyperpigmentation is reduced. Acetyl glucosamine can also help with cornification disorders. It reduces the cohesion between the already dead skin cells of the horny layer (stratum corneum). As a result, the active ingredient supports the exfoliation of the uppermost cells of the skin, refining the skin's appearance.
-
Grape fruit juice: Grape fruit juice contains "oligomeric procyanidins", which have a strong antioxidant effect and therefore act as radical scavengers. They not only prevent the breakdown of collagen, but are also able to cross-link it effectively. Grape juice also accelerates the skin's own repair process and ensures lasting skin rejuvenation. Grapes also contain resveratrol, a substance that the vine produces to protect itself against cold and other environmental influences. This sap ensures firmer skin and increases the natural production of hyaluronic acid. The sap that flows through the vines lightens pigmentation spots and is around 60 times more effective than vitamin C. The grape seeds contain one of the strongest antioxidants in the world. The active ingredient smoothes wrinkles and tightens the skin. Grape seed oil is also obtained from the seeds. The oil is rich in linoleic acid, vitamin E and antioxidants. Linoleic acid has an anti-inflammatory effect, helps with acne, lightens pigmentation spots and moisturizes the skin.
-
Apple fruit juice and apple extract: Apple extract has a balancing, invigorating and refreshing effect. The moisture-binding effect also has a positive influence on the skin's moisture balance. This in turn helps to make the skin softer and more elastic. The ingredients of the apple are responsible for its mode of action. It is rich in vitamin A and vitamin C, has a special malic acid and a high iron and potassium content. The minerals, tannins and fruit acids not only help to firm the skin, but also regulate the moisture balance. They also protect against oxidative skin stress and promote the skin's own regeneration during the night.
-
Oryzanol: Oryzanol is extracted from rice germ oil. It has a strong natural UV-A and UV-B absorption capacity and is therefore the ideal ingredient for sun protection products. Oryzanol also has a stimulating effect on the sebaceous glands and strengthens the skin barrier. It is therefore ideal for products for the care of dry, oily and mature skin, especially in combination with its light-protective effect.
-
Cold-pressed karanja oil: 100% pure, cold-pressed karanja oil, from the Indian beech tree, has strong anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and UV-B absorbing properties. Cold-pressed karanja oil has a high content of omega 6 and omega 9 (of 70%). It also contains pongamol, which gives it its photoprotective and antioxidant properties. It therefore has a natural sun protection of around SPF 10. The highly effective oil also soothes irritated skin prone to inflammation and reduces itching. It promotes wound healing, especially in the treatment of neurodermatitis, psoriasis, ulcers and dandruff. The formula of cold-pressed karanja oil, which is rich in essential fatty acids, also penetrates the skin and provides intensive and long-lasting moisturization.
-
Schisandra berry extract: The highly effective schisandra berry extract provides intensive moisture, has a revitalizing effect and accelerates the regeneration of skin cells. This counteracts premature skin ageing. For example, the extract is able to help aged skin regain its firmness. In this context, the main focus is on stimulating the synthesis of collagen XVII and ladinin-1. These are two extremely important molecules in the dermo-epidermal junction zone. They are responsible for the tension between the dermis and epidermis as well as for cohesion. In vitro tests have shown that the Schisandra berry or its extract increases ladinin-1 synthesis by 3.5 times and the synthesis of collagen XVII by as much as 6.0 times.

Mango butter: Mango butter is lighter than shea butter. It is absorbed very well and quickly. Mango butter consists of various components. The most important are stearic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid and magokern oil. Stearic acid forms a protective film on the skin that protects it from external influences. Oleic acid ensures that the facial care product spreads well and promotes the absorption of other active ingredients. Palmitic acid is a component of the natural skin barrier and protects dry skin from moisture loss. Mangokernel oil contains the fat-soluble vitamins A, C, D and E as well as several B vitamins. As a radical scavenger, vitamin E in particular can support cell regeneration and thus slow down the ageing process.
