Extracellular matrix components

This is a group of cosmeceutical components that are naturally present in human skin. Due to their crucial role in dermal hydration and regeneration, these skin care ingredients naturally refine the appearance of the skin making it look healthy, smooth, and radiant.

Sebacic acid
In vitro studies showed that Sebacic acid can cross-link with collagen type I and improve its mechanical properties. Thus, besides moisturizers, it is used in formulas to improve the skin's elasticity and surface texture, minimizing the appearance of blemishes and breakouts.
Ceramide NP
SK-influx® is a skin-identical lipid (ceramide) complex ingredient that restores the skin's protective barrier function. It is a concentrated formulation consisting of a multi-lamellar (membrane) system resembling the structure of the lipid barrier in the Stratum Corneum.
Skin identical lipids that regenerate and reconstruct the skin barrier. The stratum corneum (the horny layer of the epidermis) is composed of the corneocytes and the lipid matrix which fills the space between them.
Hyaluronic Acid
The use of small-molecule hyaluronic acid ensures that moisture is stored in the skin for a long time.
Sodium Hyaluronate
Sodium Hyaluronate is the sodium salt form of Hyaluronic Acid (HA). It has been used in cosmetics and skincare products for moisturization and wound healing.
Squalane
Squalane prevents loss of moisture and makes your skin soft and supple. In addition, it has an anti-oxidant effect (fights free radicals) and prevents premature skin aging.
Squalene

Squalene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon oil previously obtained from shark livers but now obtainable from vegetable sources. It has six double bonds, making it prone to oxidation and polymerization.

Ceramide III

UTMF is an Ultra Thin Molecular Film that ensures the stabilization of the molecule against oxidation and enhances cutaneous absorption of active ingredients through the epidermis.
