Anti-aging
Many people consider preventing skin aging one of their most essential needs. Over the years, the cosmetic industry has strengthened this wish with new formulations and active ingredients. Consumers highly appreciate good looks and well-being.
Active anti-aging ingredients are participating in both directions. The tests on human volunteers demonstrated the positive influence of many modern ingredients and complexes against skin aging.
The active support of energy control in the cells and the prevention of DNA damage are essential steps to counteract the process of accelerated aging, often induced by UV light. The specific combinations of anti-aging ingredients and complexes do even more.
Strong regenerative effects, like stimulating collagen, support the consumer's need for well-being, resulting in improved skin elasticity and wrinkle reduction. The more consumers learn from the concepts and claims of cosmetic products containing anti-aging ingredients, the higher their expectations are. This section fulfills the increasing requirements of quickly learning consumers.Creatine is an amino acid derivative (non-proteinogenic amino acid) found naturally in the skin.

Historically, the juice of the Coneflower (Echinacea Angustifolia) root was used externally to bathe burns and make the intense heat of a sweat lodge more bearable.
ECM-Protect® is a peptide that inhibits the enzymatic activity of the elastase and the cutaneous MMP-1. ECM-Protect® defends the body’s collagen and elastin network against harmful damage caused by environmental factors (UV radiation, pollution, cigarette smoke) and aging.
A fruit native to Mexico, the Avocado was consumed more than 10,000 years ago by the Aztecs and Mayas and was imported to Europe in the 17th century. The varieties used to produce Effipulp® are mainly harvested in Latin America and Africa.
Elaidoyl Tripeptide-37 is a synthetic lipo-peptide with sequence Elaidyl-KFK (Elaidyl-Lys-Phe-Lys-OH) known under the trade name Lipospondin. It is an ester of elaidic acid and Tripeptide-37 (KFK peptide), which repeats a part of the sequence of Thrombospondin.
As the skin is stressed during the aging process, the synthetic activity of cells decreases in general. The production of MFAP-4 is reduced and the whole process of elastin fiber formation is negatively involved from its first stage.
Epilobium Angustifolium Extract is a natural ingredient derived from Canadian Willowherb. Historically, preparations from Canadian Willowherb have been used for wound healing and as an anti-inflammatory and soothing remedy for burns and insect bites.
