POLYPEPTIDE-WX - France This advanced peptide composition is a biomimetic peptide antagonist specific of the a-MSH. Biomimetic peptides are identical to the skin’s peptides, and are acting on the physiological mechanisms of the skin with a high specificity. This active competes against the natural ligand (a-MSH) on its specific receptor (MC1-R) by preventing any further activation of the tyrosinase, and thus blocking melanin synthesis. Tyrosinase inhibition reduces the formation of unwanted pigmentation, allowing for the control over skin tone and brown spots. This active represents the first scientifically-explained skin whitening compound in the world of skincare.
Kalahari Watermelon - Kalahari Desert This Swiss active is based on a highly-purified extract of a watermelon which has its origin in the Kalahari Desert. Under extreme conditions, this watermelon develops its own defense system by producing compatible solutes against drought, heat and UV radiation. Abundantly rich in its synergistic composition of vitamins, carbohydrates and such amino acids as L-Citrulline, this extract offers unprecedented protection of DNA, the skin's fibroblasts and keratinocytes, thereby decreasing erythema as a result of UV radiation.
Alpha Arbutin - Switzerland Recognized as the safest, most effective skin whitening compound, this ingredient is not to be mistaken for Beta Arbutin (commonly known as Arbutin). Most manufacturers use Arbutin, because it is far less expensive and easier to source than Alpha Arbutin. A patented ingredient manufactured in Switzerland, Alpha Arbutin has shown extraordinarily rapid and safe skin whitening properties and, therefore, is used extensively in our portfolio.
Hyaluronic Acid - Denmark Hyaluronic Acid is present abundantly in youthful skin and provides maximal below-surface hydration. It protects youthful skin features, smoothes the skin’s appearance and unconditionally magnifies the absorption of other active principles. This vital ingredient was recently praised by the BBC as the single most important compound that contributes to the astonishing youthfulness of the very old in the small town of Yuyao in Japan.
