Hemp oil is the vegetable oil of the Hemp seed. It has been used for food and medicine in China for at least 3000 years. The oil obtained by cold pressing the Hemp seed is a valuable source of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, linolenic (omega-3) and linoleic (omega-6). In fact, it’s the only edible oil that contains over 80% polyunsaturated essential fatty acids. Linoleic acid (LA) and linolenic acid (LNA) are found in a ratio of 3:1, which is widely believed by nutritionists to be the optimal ratio. Hemp seed oil also contains a significant amount of anti-oxidants, especially polyphenols such as biologically active flavonoids (flavanones, flavanols and isoflavones) and tocopherols (vitamin E). These compounds help to prevent oxidative damages caused by free radicals. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are fatty acids that humans and other animals must consume from external sources, as the body requires them for good health but cannot synthesize them. Linoleic acid (omega 6) is an essential building block for the ceramides in the epidermis. It is essential for the permeability barrier function of the skin and to prevent water loss. Anti-aging Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids improve the firmness of the skin by inhibiting the activity of MMP enzymes. MMP enzymes break down collagen and other dermal matrix components, which support the three-dimensional structure of the skin. Omega-3 fatty acids also reduce the synthesis of various compounds involved in skin irritation and aging process providing a substantial anti-aging activity

DescriptionGoji berry (Lycium barbarum) has been used in China for more than 2,000 years as a traditional medicinal herb and food supplement. Today, goji berries are considered a superfruit and are consumed worldwide. The primary active components are Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBPs) composed of various monosaccharides such as fucose, ribose, rhamnose, arabinose, xylose, mannose and galactose. Other constituents of the Goji berry fruits are carotenoids, glycosphingolipids, ascorbyl glucoside, phytosterols, flavonoids and vitamins (in particular, riboflavin, thiamine, and ascorbic acid). Significant anti-aging effects of LBPs and other major components have been reported in many scientific publications. In skin cells, it has been demonstrated that LBPs possess a significant anti[1]oxidative and calming effects against UV-B induced photo damage. LBPs also show anti-aging activity in the skin by significantly suppressing the MMP-9 enzyme. The MMP’S are enzymes specialized in the breakdown of the extra cellular matrix components such as various collagen types, elastin and hyaluronic acid. LBPs also have a prebiotic activity that promotes the development of some beneficial probiotic bacteria. Goji berry Skin Revitalizing Serum contains PhytoCellTec™ Goji. PhytoCellTec™ Goji is a novel active ingredient based on goji berry plant stem cells which improves cell-to-cell communication and boots the synthesis of matrix components such as collagen and elastin. Treatment with PhytoCellTec™ Goji significantly improves skin density, reduces wrinkle depth, and enhances the oval face shape through reduced sagging of the facial contours. In addition to PhytoCellTec™ Goji, it contains vegetable squalane, Hemp seed oil and an effective vitamin C derivative.

Ref. 460-Home use 50 ml, 977-Proff. 250ml
DescriptionCream with a light texture, contains Aquaxyl – a new generation of moisturizer which stimulates the synthesis of proteins and enzymes essential to the function of the skin barrier. Aquaxyl also stimulates the synthesis of the amino acids (NMF), ceramides, and hyaluronic acid. The cream also contains “PHYCOSACCHARIDE” (obtained from alga) which provides effective protection against pollution and environmental factors. Recent studies indicate that pollution accelerates skin ageing. PHYCOSACCHARIDE works like a thin and invisible mask that catches impurities to avoid their penetration. Another active ingredient, PEPHA-AGE, obtained from a special freshwater micro-alga, protects the skin against the harmful effects of blue light. Blue light is the shortest and highest-energy wave length of the visible light spectrum. Blue light is actually everywhere. Sources of blue light include the sun, digital screens (TVs, computers, laptops, smart phones and tablets), electronic devices, and fluorescent and LED lighting. PEPHA-AGE protects against oxidative stress and prevents skin premature aging which is accelerated by exposure to blue light. It promotes even skin tone, stimulates collagen production, and repairs the skin barrier function. The cream contains also a combination of sun filters.
