Our key ingredients
Coffee Seed Oil
Cold-pressed the green coffee oil contains high levels of vitamin E, phytosterols, antioxidants and essential fatty acids, offering nourishment and protection.Some studies suggest that it promotes the production of elastin and collagen, increasing the flexibility and firmness of the skin.
Elderberry Seed Oil
Elderberry oil’s high concentration of linoleic and α-linoleic acids, combined with the predominance of phytosterols, make it uniquely regenerative, anti-inflammatory and antioxidative.
That is the reason why this oil is regarded by many specialists as particularly suitable for dry, irritated, inflamed, acne-prone and / or allergy-prone skin.
Pomegranate Seed Oil
Pomegranate oil contains an expressive triglyceride (punicic acid) percentage which, combined with the presence of estrogen hormones (17α-estradiol and estrone) and a high concentration of vitamin E, makes it unprecedented.
This oil is anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, antitumour and photoprotective. It contributes to injured skin regeneration as well as to the reparation of the dermis. Besides, it helps to decrease the damages caused by sun exposure. Pomegranate oil is particularly appropriate for those with mature, dry, stressed, and / or allergy-prone skin.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidants that helps to fight the free
radicals and therefore fights the aging process. Vitamin C protects the skin from oxidative stress by sequentially donating electrons that neutralise the free radicals. The oxidised forms of Vitamin C are relatively non-reactive. However, exposure to pollution, smoking, or even exposure to the sunlight, destroy vitamin C in our bodies, which can lead to premature aging.
Vitamin C is absolutely essential for the synthesis of collagen. It is an essential co-factor for the two enzymes required for collagen synthesis: prolyl hydroxylase (that stabilises the collagen molecule) and lysyl hydroxylase (that gives structural strength cross-linking). Recent research has further demonstrated that vitamin C acts directly on DNA to increase the transcription rate and to stabilise the procollagen messenger RNA, thus regulating and maintaining the intercellular amount of collagen. There are many cosmetic products in the market with many different forms of Vitamin C - some work better than others.
