Rosehip oil is highly efficient in minimizing stretch-marks and scars, as well as in easing sunburn and pigmentation marks.

It has anti-inflammatory, anti-oedemic and anti-platelet condensation properties. Used in dermo-cosmetic preparations, it is known to have an excellent sebum-regulator activity.

SALYCYLIC ACID Salicylic acid, a Beta-Hydroxy-Acid, is a highly effective superficial peeling agent, oil reducer and pore cleanser. Salicylic Acid is derived from Willow Bark. Due to its molecule, larger than Alpha-Hydroxy-Acid, Salicylic Acid works more effectively on the skin's surface. It also works by exfoliating aging cells, dirt and debris on the skin surface. By removing the superficial dead cells, new cells growth is stimulated resulting in younger, healthier cells appearing on the surface. Beta-hydroxy-acid appears to be less irritating than alpha-hydroxy-acid. This occurs because salicylic acid is derived from acetylsalycilic acid ( aspirin ), retaining many of its anti-inflammatory properties.

SILK PROTEINS The silk is formed by two proteins: the Fibroin and the Sericin. Sericin wraps up the Fibroin, its characteristic is to protect the cocoon from climatic variations, from UV rays and to prevent the lost of water into the silk thread. Sericin is a totally natural ingredient and has gained popularity in quite a huge number of cosmetic applications, for both skin and hair use. It has great structural affinity with keratin, and the result of this interaction is the formation of a protective layer that gives the skin a smooth and soft feeling. Sericin performs a bright moisture-retentive and UV blocking action, and can inhibit several enzymes responsible for the skin ageing. Basically, its benefits are achieved in three actions: ° direct moisturizing effect: by allowing the water fixing in the skin surface ° indirect moisturizing effect: by reducing the transdermal water loss, thus reducing the tissue dehydration ° elasticing effect: thanks to its adhesive and protecting effect, it is able to perform a tensor effect on wrinkles, reducing their depth, for an overall skin conditions improvement. Sericine also protects the skin from atmospherical agents and pollution and repair cutaneous damages, representing an optimal remedy in case of skin irritation.

CO-ENZYME Q10 ( UBIQUINONE ) The nutrient Coenzyme Q10 is found in every cell ofthe body, thus its other name, ubiquinone ( from the word ubiquitous and the coenzyme quinone ). Ubiquinone is a naturally-occurring substance with a molecular structure similar to Vit. K . Because the body must have energy available to perform even the simplest operation, Coenzyme Q10 is considered essential for the body’s cells,tissues and organs. Even if the body has the ability to produce Coenzyme Q10, deficiencies have been reported in a range of clinical conditions. Coenzyme Q10 is essentially a vitamin, or vitamin-like substance and is synthesised in all tissues. It is as such indispensable for the human life to exist. The antioxidant or free radical quenching properties of CoQ10 serve to greatly reduce oxidative damage to tissues as well as significantly inhibit the oxidation of LDL cholesterol ( much more efficiently than Vit. E ). In keeping with the free radical theory of ageing, these antioxidant properties of CoQ10 have clear implications in the slowing of ageing and age related degenerative diseases. In the skin-care field, the use of Q10 –based preparations is recommended as anti-ageing purpose for wrinkled, faded skins.
