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.Medicago Sativa (Alfalfa) is a perennial plant from the Fabaceae family. The common name Alfalfa is a Spanish modification of Arabic-Persian origin meaning horse food. The plant is distributed and cultivated all around the world and used as livestock fodder.

Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16 is an eyelash booster lipo-peptide with sequence Myr-Leu-Lys-Lys-Ala-Leu-Lys that stimulates multiple genes responsible for keratin (hair protein) production. Keratin is the primary protein in hair, nails, and the outermost layer of the skin.
Myristoyl Hexapeptide-4 is a hydrophilic peptide rich in the essential amino acid threonine with sequence Myr-Thr-Lys-Thr-Thr-Lys-Ser-NH2, which is more bioactive, thanks to modifications during production.
Myristoyl Nonapeptide-3 is a synthetic biomimetic lipo-peptide with retinol-like action, known under the trade name RetinoPeptide™ 189. Mimicking famous anti-aging vitamin A's biological activity boosts collagen type I production, exposing a firmer, smoother, and youthful appearance.
Myristoyl Octapeptide-1 is a synthetic lipo-peptide that mimics growth factors, promoting dermal tissue repair processes and accelerating wound healing. It binds to the specific receptors on fibroblasts, boosting skin cell proliferation and activity.
Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 is a bioavailable lipo-oligopeptide (sequence Myr-Lys-Leu-Ala-Lys-Lys-NH2) with eyelash-enhancing action. In addition, it has anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial properties.
Myristoyl Pentapeptide-8 is a synthetic lipopeptide that mimics cell-adhesion protein action, exposing a smoother, healthier, and more resilient skin appearance. It is known under the trade name SymPeptide® 222.
Collagen is one of the main components of the ECM (extracellular matrix) of the skin connective tissue and its concentration decreases with aging. The loss of collagen has two reasons reduction of the production and increased degradation.
Transforming growth factor (TGF-β), a member of a large family of secreted peptide growth factors is known to play a prominent role in the accumulation of ECM (extracellular matrix) components by increasing the expression of ECM genes, such as collagen, elastin, fibronectin, and proteoglycan.
Photoaging occurs via the clinical and histological effects of chronic sun exposure and is responsible for most age-related changes, including wrinkles, roughness, and hyperpigmentation.
Myristyl 3-Glyceryl Ascorbate is a stable vitamin C derivative. It is a modified 3-Glyceryl Ascorbate with an attached alkyl (myristyl or tetradecyl; C14) group. This modification adds lipophilicity and enables the molecule's emulsifying ability.
Coenzymes Q10 (ubiquinones) are essential components of energy metabolism in animal and plant cells. Additionally, they play an important role as antioxidants. The supply of ubiquinones from food, together with the body’s own production, is normally sufficient.
NatureCells Antiaging is a liposomal botanical complex, a nature's bounty for anti-aging applications.
NatureCells Hydragenesis is a liposomal botanical complex that provides long-lasting hydration for skin care applications.
A nourishing, boosting, and energizing complex that stimulates the synthesis of pro-collagen, collagens, tropoelastin, and elastin. Fibro-boost revitalizes skin fibroblasts, promoting elasticity, smoothness, and firmness.
Niacinamide is a derivative of Vitamin B3. It's an active ingredient with proven anti-aging, and moisturizing properties—an active form of Vitamin B3, or niacin. Niacinamide works to prevent melanin from reaching the surface of the skin.
Octapeptide-11 is a synthetic peptide with sequence Met-Ile-Pro-Cys-Tyr-Ile-Ser-Ser known under the trade name CG-Seperin. It acts as an inhibitor of the MMP (Matrix MetalloProteinase) enzyme responsible for hyaluronic acid degradation.
The olive is a culture, it is nature, synonymous with health, and a symbol of purity. From a chemical point of view, it is an extraordinarily rich fruit.
Oleoyl Dipeptide-15 (Glycyl glycine oleamide) is a synthetic lipopeptide that fights against skin structural proteins glycation and elastosis. It is known under the trade name Relastide®.
Oligopeptide-177 is a synthetic peptide with 33 amino acids whose sequences repeat a fragment of the erythropoietin (EPO) glycoprotein.
Oligopeptide-20 is a synthetic peptide that contains 12 amino acids and mimics Somatomedin (a growth factor) involved in normal skin growth, healing, and wound repair.
Oligopeptide-21 is a synthetic peptide developed for the reduction and prevention of lines and deep wrinkles. This peptide is also known under the trade name CG-IDP 4.
Oligopeptide-22 is a synthetic peptide with anti-wrinkle, anti-aging, and wound-healing properties. It is known under the trade name CG-IDP 3.
Oligopeptide-24 (former Oligopeptide-23; known under the trade name CG-EDP3) is a synthetic biomimetic peptide that stimulates skin cell proliferation by up-regulation of EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) expression.
