Triticum Vulgare Protein is a high molecular weight protein fraction received from soft wheat. Thanks to its film-forming and mechanical "lifting" properties, wheat protein provides a noticeable instant protective and anti-aging effect.
Protective
The skin, the biggest organ of the body, protects the body from external and environmental influences. Protective repair mechanisms form a primary defense line against prolonged exposure to UV rays, extreme cold and heat, loss of moisture, etc.
The human body is exposed to UV light every day. Even under a cloudy sky, UV-A and UV-B rays contribute to the aging process of skin. UV rays indicate a number of different damaging processes of skin layers.
Protective ingredients protect skin from environmental damage and harsh conditions, helping reduce transdermal moisture loss, prevent UV-induced damage, and prevent premature aging.
The skin is prepared to induce natural repair mechanisms; however, when exposure to sunlight is exaggerated, additional support of effective protective actives helps to keep the skin healthy and the natural repair mechanisms intact.Much energy is needed to keep the skin's natural repair processes active. A decrease in the energy level weakens the natural repair mechanisms. Some protective ingredients aim to keep the energy level high.
Triticum Vulgare Seed Extract is a natural extract of wheat grain with anti-aging, hydrating, and anti-inflammatory properties. It contains ceramides, which are similar to skin's ceramides 3 and 6.
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.
Superfruits are fruits that naturally contain high concentrations of essential vitamins, antioxidants, and other important nutrients. Blueberry (Vaccinium Angustifolium fruit) is packed with powerful antioxidants.
Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) is a wild berry of the Northern forests. Berry juice and flesh are rich in antioxidants such as anthocyanins, and vitamin C. Lingonberry seeds are excellent sources of bioactive natural lipids.
Vanilla (Vanilla Planifolia) has been commercially extracted to yield Vanilla extracts that are used in flavors, baking, chocolate making, soft drinks, pharmaceutical products, liqueurs, candies, etc., as well as perfumery and soap making.
Vegetable Amino Acids is a general name for grain protein (from Soy, Wheat, Maize, and Barley) hydrolyzates obtained by complete enzymatic or chemical hydrolyzation. Usually, it is a solution, a clear colorless to pale yellow liquid with a slight odor.
Derived from the French word "pensee," meaning "thought," the pansy's three colors (purple, white, and yellow) represent memories, loving thoughts, and souvenirs, all of which were said to ease the hearts of separated lovers.
Vitis Vinifera Fruit Meristem Cell Culture is an active ingredient from grape fruit stem cells. Activated stem cells of unripened grape fruit of specific cultivars overproduce bio-active principles including polyphenols and stilbenes, both in free and glycosylated forms.
Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract is a brownish to orange micro-granulated powder obtained from grape seeds, a byproduct of wine production.
Voluform™ (Palmitoyl Isoleucine) is a lipo-amino acid, an active ingredient that acts on every layer of the skin, providing volume, firming, and detoxifying dermal tissues.
Wheat (Triticum Vulgare) germ extract is an aqueous liposome dispersion of a fraction containing lipids and carbohydrates, isolated from plants (cereals) and purified.
Wheat Amino Acids is derived by the complete hydrolyzation of wheat protein. Obtained amino acids and remaining short peptides small enough to penetrate the hair and robust sufficient to condition from the inside out!
Yucca glauca is a bluish, green perennial found in the Mid and Western US. The leaves of the plant are long and stiff with a sword-like appearance. The plant can grow anywhere from two to four feet in height.
At one time, Yucca (Yucca Schidigera) was considered a potential source of phytosterols, a family of plant substances used to manufacture steroidal hormones.
Zea Mays (corn) starch is a natural fine powder that may directly replace talc in skincare formulations. It effectively absorbs moisture and oil from the skin surface mattifying and providing a silky-soft feel.
Zinc Oxide acts as a photocatalyst absorbing and scattering UVA & UVB and converts UVR to heat and light that has a rejuvenating effect on skin connective tissue.
