Natural skin regeneration Treatment with Snail Secretion Extract
ALOE VERA
A surprisingly genius solution from nature. Scientific researches published in The International Society of Skin Pharmacology Journal reveal the regenerative properties of snail secretion and its effects on human skin (“Skin Pharmacology and Physiology “ January 2008, 21:15-22 ). The garden snail possesses incredible skin regenerative properties, and according to this study, the fluid substance that land snails secrete protects them from free radicals, environmental pollution and UV radiation. This is why a snail never suffers from skin infections, even after slithering through the roughest of surface.
How does the secretion of snails work on human skin? When the snail serum is applied to fibroblasts, it enhances the proliferation and functional capability of these cells. Fibroblasts are responsible for generating all the elements of the skin matrix, including collagen, elastin fibres, glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans. The latter two provide firmness, suppleness and elasticity for the skin by retaining water.
The active ingredient is extracted from the leafs and its principal constituents are: amino acids, enzymes, inorganic salts,monosaccharides, mucopolysaccharides and vitamins. The Aloe Vera use is recommended as able to give several benefic effects to the skin. Among these, it protects and makes the skin soft and smooth; it's a good calming, moisturizer, skin regenerator, bacteriostatic and finally also having a good effect on the blood circulation.
VIT.A (Retinol)
One of the primary functions of the retinol is to maintain the cellular membrane integrity. This function is particularly visible on the skin tissue, where the Vit A is performing a keratoplastic action, i.e. soothing and smoothing the skin, being also able to reduce the skin thickening and roughness of the horny layer. When the Vit. A is missing or decreasing, the skin appears dry, hard, cracked, pigmented; as a consequence, skincare products based on Vit. A are suitable to dry/aged skins as a skin renovation program.
VIT.E (Tocopherol)
Being able to perform a bright anti-oxydant and anti-free radicals action, Vit. E is often called “ the youth vitamin “. The use of Vit. E is also very important to avoid, or at least reduce, the damages caused by the UV-radiation. Vit E is mostly used: As an anti-age product when in combination with Vit. A and Vit. F As a SPF when in combination with sun filters
KERATOPLAST ®
This salicylate performs a good micro-exfoliating action, which cause a slow movement of the superficial cells that are already old, forcing the deep layers to replace them with younger cells. In this way, the skin results smooth and more compact, and the dilated subcutaneous capillaries ( couperose ) are better protected and less visible.
What does snail serum do to the skin? • Helps maintain the skin healthy as well as improving cell function with the use of antioxidants • Helps and avoids scars, including acne scarring • Repairs sun damages, preventing photo-ageing and wrinkles • Accelerates renewal of damaged tissues • Opens clogged pores • Induces quick skin regeneration • Restores skin plasticity • Prevents and treats stretch-marks • Fights acne This natural balm, rich in allantoin, natural proteins, vitamins, collagen, elastin and glycolic acid, may be also considered as a non-irritating option for people who develop skin irritation in response to retinoids or alpha-hydroxy-acids. As a matter of fact, snail secretion is not only effective, but it is also safe, since it is totally compatible with living cells. Products with serum of land snail offer a new choice in skin treatment. It is now possible to utilize a treatment cream that penetrates the skin and activates the dissolution of scar tissues, while improving the natural skin regeneration and cellular turn-over processes in a balanced and complete way.

Products range: HA treatments also facilitates turnover and regeneration of “keratinocytes” that decreases the appearance of wrinkles, lines, darkened spots and other signs of ageing. Especially when combined with a high- potency Vitamin C product, topical HA creams can be quite effective at rejuvenating and hydrating skin. Albumin is an essential protein. It enhances the Hyaluronic Acid action by forming a protective film onto the skin, contemporary lifting furrows, therefore minimizing wrinkles. PENTA-PEPTIDES Peptides are short polymers formed from the linking in a defined order, of alpha-amino acids. Peptides act as a molecular messenger, triggling intracellular activity. They promote tissue repair, and are as such particularly interesting in any anti-ageing formulation. FILAGRINOL FILAGRINOL is a blend of pollen extract, fractions of unsaponifiable wheat germ oil, soybean oil and olive oil. The whole complex is quite efficient in maintaining a suitable level of epidermal moisturization, so as to ensure a physiological defence and barrier function of the skin. GUARANÀ EXTRACT The fruit of Guaranà comes from a bush native to Amazonia, Brazil. Rich in multi-vitamines complex, it represents an important skin energy booster, which helps in any tissue regenerating action.

TIOVEIL Tioveil is a titanium dioxide ingredient made specifically for high sun protection factor(SPF) sunscreen products. It protect against both UVB and UVA radiation, enabling to get a broad spectrum protection. PHYTOLIFTING Tensor and plasticizer cosmetic agents are substances largely employed in the formulation of face and body care products. The action of these compounds is essentially due to their adhesive power, which provides a mechanical modification of the epidermis surface resulting in a tangible improvement of the skin aspect. In fact, either natural products or synthetic polymers used as tensors and plasticizers work forming a very thin, continuous film, at the meantime elastic and resistant, able to produce a smoothing effect. PHYTOLIFTING can be considered a biotechnological product obtained from plant raw materials, maintaining all the properties of sugar molecules, such as marked lifting effects and considerable moisturizing properties. AHAs & GLYCOLIC ACID Alpha-hydroxy-acids are a mixture of fruit acids obtained from an exhaustive extraction process from various plants and fruits ( Bilberry, Sugar Cane, Maple, Citrus fruits, Grape) . Working directly on the corneous cohesion substance, they reduce the skin thickness (smoothing action) by renewing the dead cells on the skin surface (exfoliation process). This quickly helps to renew the skin damaged tissues with a consequent increase in elasticity and freshness. These characteristics are mainly due to the presence of Glycolic Acid, an element with a very low molecular weight and therefore with a wider range of action than other AHA.

SHEA BUTTER SHEABUTTER is used as a fatten agent in cosmetic products, as well as topical ointments, creams and lotions. Because of its high content of unsaponifiables, it is mostly appreciated for facial, hand and body care products, giving a very pleasant smooth feeling to the skin. This commodity is extracted from the kernel of a nut derived from a wild tree commonly found in Africa.
DARUTOSIDE Siegesbeckia Orientalis ( Darutoside) is a plant originated in Ethiopia and Madagascar, to be found also in Japan and Australia. Its vegetable extract has proven to stimulate wound healing and tissue regeneration, by way of collagen matrix build-up. It leads to more regular tissue renewal and full restoration of elasticity. Collagen fibres are arranged in regular fashion, offering an intensive antiageing action.

MARINE COLLAGENE Collagen is the chief constituent of connective tissue that supports the structure of the skin. As collagen in depleted, visible signs of skin ageing appear and then accelerate. The skin requires constant synthesis of new collagen to remain firm and youthful. Nowadays, the most common collagen source in the skin-care field is the fish skin. MILK PROTEINS Milk proteins in a cream increases skin elasticity by around 20% compared to the same cream without. Skin elasticity ensures lines and wrinkles are minimised after every movement of the skin. Milk proteins dramatically increase skin moisture level, neutralizing free radicals by adding Vit. A, C and E, bringing the complexion to be radiant and supple. Used constantly, milk proteins products help prevent skin damage and premature ageing caused by sun exposure. PUERARIA LOBATA Pueraria Lobata is a plant found in Thailand and Myanmar. Local communities have used its extract for well over one hundred years, specifically for its rejuvenating qualities. Because of its bright activity towards ageing, it is commonly named “well of youth”. Pueraria Lobata energizes the skin, stimulates the skin oxigenation and promote a general rejuvenation action, thus being particularly targeted for anti-wrinkle preparations. SENSILINE (line-seed extract) Sensiline is composed of purified fractions of linseed. It prevents irritation caused by a number of cutaneous aggressions and limits discomfort resulting from inflammation phenomena: redness, tingling. Combining the acid polysaccharides and peptidoglycans of linseed, Sensiline assures:physical protection: limiting the penetration of irritants by playing the role of a screen, related to the film-forming properties of polysaccharides and ß - Glucan biological protection: reducing the release of interleukin 1α, a key molecule of inflammation, limiting its synthesis and expression by playing the role of a decoy As a response to varied stimuli ( UV radiation, chemical irritants, allergens, etc.),activated keratin cells rapidly release an initial cytokine (= mediator of intercellular communication): interleukin 1α. This so called pro-inflammatory cytokine induces the secretion of other cytokines and thus contributes to the mobilisation and the activation of a series of cells involved in inflammatory reactions. BIO-CARE (Hyaluronic acid + albumin) Hyaluronic acid main function is to aid in the body's water maintenance (by binding water molecules to tissue), providing essential moisture for body processes and molecular transport. As we age, the HA levels in our bodies decrease, contributing to certain joint ailments and the physical features of ageing such as wrinkles. For example, fifty years old are estimated to have less than half the amount they had in youth. By drawing in and holding onto water in the outer cell layers of the skin, hyaluronic acid allows for a vital process that enables effective skin hydration, delivery of nutrients and removal of contaminants and other toxins.
