Functional substances: Organic distilled green tea water: thanks to its content of polyphenols, caffeine, minerals, it is characterized by its toning, refreshing and elasticising action; evens out the colour and appearance of the skin, fights free radicals, stimulates detoxification, activates the skin micro-circulation, strengthens the skin’s defences, soothes and protects even the most sensitive skin.
Organic extra virgin olive oil: the oil that is cold extracted from the fruits of the olive tree is characterized by the high content of Omega-9 (oleic), Omega-6 (linoleic) fatty acids, unsaponifiable fraction (phytosterols, vitamins) , which have key benefits for healthy looking skin and hair. Extra virgin olive oil therefore has excellent moisturising, nourishing, protective, sebum-restoring, soothing and antioxidant characteristics. It is highly recommended for dry, very dry, irritated skin and in general for all skin types.
Vegetable squalane: squalane comes from the unsaponifiable fraction of olive oil, and is an excellent raw material for use in cosmetics. Protects the skin against water loss, makes it elastic without making it too oily and restores the lipid structure of the skin; thanks to its high affinity for the skin (it is part of the composition of the skin sebum) and ability to penetrate, it can also improve the availability (penetration) of the active ingredients. Great for dry and sensitive skin.
Abyssinian oil: this vegetable oil (originally from the Mediterranean area, grows spontaneously in Abyssinia and North Africa) has a composition that makes it unique in nature: high concentration in omega 6 and 9, and triglycerides; this translates into rapid absorption and without leaving a greasy residue on the skin, giving it deep nourishment, providing softness and protection against dehydration. In hair products it makes them soft and shiny; penetrating between the cuticles and the cortex, it increases thickness, improves elasticity and resistance to breakage.
Unsaponifiables of avocado: the unsaponifiable fraction of avocado is rich in tocopherols, carotenoids and phytosterols, terpenic alcohols, avocatine and volatile acids; these substances are able to stimulate the activity of the fibroblasts of the dermis, promoting the synthesis of soluble collagen; on the other hand, avocatins act as collagenase inhibitors, enzymes that destroy collagen fibers. All this translates into an effective action to stimulate skin renewal, with a consequent increase in skin hydration and elasticity.
Ectoin: 100% natural substance belonging to the class of “extremoliths”: molecules generated by microorganisms and plants to protect them from extreme environments. This multifunctional active stops and prevents cell damage, and at the same time repairs and regenerates mature, stressed and irritated skin. It has global anti-pollution action (protects against pollutants and regenerates damaged skin), prevents photoaging, has anti-wrinkle action, long-term moisturising, repairs the skin barrier, anti-inflammatory and improves the overall appearance of the skin.
Horehound extract: the atmospheric particulate matter (fine dust, aromatic polycyl hydrocarbons, heavy metals, present both outside and inside the house) is able to settle and penetrate (via receptors) the skin, damaging its cells, causing wrinkles and spots; moreover, as dirt accumulates, it clogs the pores, dehydrates and makes the skin more sensitive, oxidizes its cells, thus leading to premature ageing of the epidermis. This purified extract targets visible and invisible damage caused by pollution by protecting, removing, strengthening and repairing. It protects by preventing the adhesion of the particulate on the cells and blocking the transport of pollutants towards the nucleus, preventing damage to the cellular DNA. Removes and neutralizes oxidants that damage proteins and lipid structures, detoxifies cells from waste caused by pollutants. Strengthens by helping to recreate a healthy stratum corneum to prevent further damage and dehydration. Repairs cellular metabolism by replenishing energy levels and reducing inflammation. The extract leads to an improvement in the texture of the skin, helping it to remain cleaner, softer, hydrated, brighter, smoother and healthier looking.
Low molecular weight hydrolysed hyaluronic acid (50 kDa): its small size allows it to easily penetrate the skin and carry out its actions from within: it supplies and increases the content of hyaluronic acid in the skin and its viscoelastic properties. Improves tone, fills, reduces and plumps wrinkles from within, significantly improving appearance, firmness and hydration.
Bella di notte extract: the complex of active ingredients of this plant native to Peru serves to improve the feeling of comfort of sensitive and reactive skin. Relieves skin disorders, reduces redness, strengthens and hydrates the epidermis (consolidates the stratum corneum, restores the barrier function), decreases skin reactivity, has a soothing and calming effect. The extract reconciles communication between the epidermis and nerve communications, by modulating the levels of sensory messengers and receptors, stimulates the synthesis of several key components of the epidermis, including ceramides, occludins, and hyaluronic acid.
Bourbon Geranium Essential Oil: The essence has a green, pinkish-sweet, slightly minty scent. It has a tonic, astringent, anti-inflammatory action on the skin.
