Camellia Sinensis Leaf (1%)

Powdered Matcha tea leaves obtained from the fresh leaves of the Chinese tea shrub (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze) are a very high concentration raw material - it is pure Matcha tea with three times higher concentration of polyphenols than green tea extract. Matcha is a rich source of antioxidants, it is characterized by a high content of alkaloids, terpenes, catechins, flavonoids and other active substances, thanks to which it has a strong anti-inflammatory effect, helping to eliminate and prevent wrinkles and maintaining a youthful appearance of the skin. Alkaloids present in Matcha green tea, including caffeine and theobromine, affect the metabolism of fats, effectively fighting against flabby skin and acting anti-aging. Terpenes have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. They also help reduce sebum production, therefore they are helpful in fighting acne. Known as the 'polyphenols of beauty and youth', catechins present in Matcha green tea protect the skin from the harmful effects of solar radiation. Thanks to the properties that absorb excessive amounts of UV radiation, they reduce the risk of developing skin cancer, preventing the reduction of skin hydration and formation of lesions within it. Thanks to the regular delivery of catechins, our skin regains its vitality and preserves the young look. Supporting the delaying of skin aging processes, flavonoids protect against the destruction of cell DNA, support collagen biosynthesis, improve the stability of connective tissue and protect against the harmful effects of solar radiation. Matcha green tea is rich in tannins that tighten the skin and soothe irritations. In addition, tannins form a protective coating on the skin surface, thanks to which it ceases to be sensitive to harmful weather conditions and the influence of the external environment. It also has a natural photoprotective effect (UVB) - preventing the formation of erythema. Matcha green tea is also rich in vitamin K, which strengthens the blood vessel walls. It is therefore relief for people with sensitive skin, prone to breaking blood vessels. Moreover, Matcha green tea enhances melanin synthesis, which not only helps to improve the tone of pale, tired and dull complexion but also accelerates tanning. Riboflavin and thiamine normalize the work of sebaceous glands being very effective in the fight against oily skin.

Edelweiss Extract (Leontopodium alpinum)

The extract obtained from the leaves and flowers of Leontopodium alpinum, derived from organic farming, has anti-aging (slows down the effects of skin aging) and antioxidant effects. In addition, Edelweiss extract has anti-inflammatory, soothing and relaxing properties.

AQUAXTREM™

The active substance of Aquaxtrem ™ is raponticin, obtained from rhubarb roots (Rheum rhaponticum). Aquaxtrem ™ activates the internal mechanisms of long-term skin hydration, leading to a deep and intense increase in hydration. It improves the integrity and strength of the stratum corneum, significantly increases the synthesis of ceramides and other components of the lipid barrier. It protects the skin against dehydration and external factors, and also normalizes the skin exfoliation process - giving it glow and the right shade. In an in-vivo study on dry-skinned people, the Aquaxtrem ™ application resulted in a two-fold increase in hydration versus placebo, a significant decrease in TEWL and an improvement in skin barrier regeneration, as well as a reduction in excessive exfoliation and skin smoothing.

Sea Moist Complex

The effectiveness of the complex is based on the synergistic combination of natural ingredients responsible for skin hydration: Kappahycus alvarezii red algae extract, glycerine and sea water. Sea Moist Complex contains minerals and oligosaccharides regenerating the skin and protecting it against excessive water loss. It provides the skin with optimal hydration for up to 24 hours.

Exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by marine plankton

The unique, pure and natural exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by marine plankton provides an immediate and long-lasting matting effect. It absorbs sebum secreting on the skin surface, maintaining a matting effect for up to 8 hours from the time of application, while ensuring adequate skin hydration. The light, fluid consistency perfectly adapts to oily and combination skin.

Rosemary extract

It is a strong antioxidant, which thanks to the content of ursolic and olean acids has a positive effect on the skin's protective barrier. It reduces transepidermal water loss and stimulates collagen synthesis as well. Rosemary extract additionally regulates sebaceous glands activity.

Lime Pearl AF

A new generation of AHA acids extracted from the exceptional Caviar lime fruit (Microcitrus Austalasica), called lime caviar, offering a modified cell regeneration mechanism based on stimulation of the TRPV3 receptor, which increases the process of exfoliation by up to 26%. Leaves the skin lightened and smoothed, without the effect of irritation.

Sodium Hyaluronate

High molecular hyaluronic acid obtained in the biotechnological process is one of the most effective moisturizing raw materials on the market. When applied to the skin, it creates a protective film on its surface that limits transepidermal water loss. Gives the skin silky smoothness, tension and softness. Enables the penetration of active substances deep into the skin by increasing the permeability of the epidermis. It also acts as an active substance with a lifting effect, causing immediate skin surface tension.

Thus, it increases the elasticity and firmness of the skin and reduces wrinkles. In addition, acting as a natural sunscreen, it improves the skin's defence mechanism against UV and also supports the fight against blackheads.

Olive oil

Being one of the oldest and most popular oils used in cosmetics, olive oil has unparalleled emollient properties - creating a delicate protective film on the skin surface counteracting loss of moisture.
