Moisturizing Toner No.58

It is an aqueous solution of the steam distillate obtained from the flowers of Chamomilla recutita.It is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiseptic agents. It is often used in skin care formulations for sensitive, baby skin.

Gluconolactone is white crystalline powder derived from gluconic acid received  from vegetable raw materials. Gluconic acid, found abundantly in plant, honey and wine, is a mild organic acid derived from glucose by a simple oxidation reaction. It’s a polyhydroxy acid (PHA), that is often referred to as next generation AHA. It gently lifts off dead skin cells form the skin surface making skin smooth and even. In the long term it provides anti-aging benefits. It has comparable skin benefits to AHAs but without the irritation as a side effect.

A comparative study of gluconolactone versus benzoyl peroxide in the treatment of acne. The results of this study showed that both gluconolactone and benzoyl peroxide had a significant effect in improving patients' acne by reducing the number of lesions (inflamed and non-inflamed). Furthermore, fewer side-effects were experienced by patients treated with gluconolactone when compared with benzoyl peroxide.

The distillate created from the leaves of the hazelnut-bush-like-magic-tree commonly called Witch Hazel. The leaves contain active components with anti-oxydant, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Good for sensitive and acne prone skin, strengthens the capillaries.

Patented green compound HYDREIS© of the laboratory SOLIANCE (France) It is a polysaccharide sugar derived from yeast or oats. It has some antioxidant properties and is a skin-soothing agent. Beta-glucan is considered as an excellent ingredient for improving the look of redness and other signs of sensitive skin.

Hydreïs is obtained by selective hydrolysis of an exopolysaccaride (EPS) able to maintain organic stocks and water content. It stimulats the synthesis of filaggrin, natural precursor of the natural moisturizing factors (NMF).   Contributes to the synthesis of aquaporin-3, essential channels for water homeostasis. Hydreïs efficiently restores skin barrier function.

This extract is known to optimize the metabolic processes in the skin, to strengthen the capillaries, to eliminate the itching and irritation. It has pronounced anti-inflammatory and deodorizing activities. Honeysuckle extract is a natural, plant-based preservative that is strongly anti-bacterial and anti-viral. It works to prevent fungal and bacterial growth in water based products, it is used as natural preservative in green cosmetics.

Patented mineral compound SEPITONIC M3© of the Laboratory SEPPIC (France) SEPITONIC™ M3.0 is a multimineral active chrono energizer (zinc, copper, magnesium synergy) for skins.

The activity of SEPITONIC™M3  results from the synergy between copper, zinc and magnesium. It is a active ingredient booster, has a radical scavenging effect to inhibit the cellular free radical formation. It stimulates cell metabolism by activating the cells’ respiratory processes within the mitochondria. This cycle results in the synthesis of ATP, the cells’ energy source. The combination of an inorganic cation and an organic anion (L-aspartate and gluconic acid) allows the former to be carried more effectively to their targets.

It is made from fresh Rose Damascena petals by direct steam distillation.Stimulates cellular renovation, increases skin elasticity, evens out skin tone and prevents pigmentation of mature skin. It has a pronounced smell of roses.

High-molecular-weight-HA Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt form of Hyaluronic Acid . High-molecular-weight-HA (>500 kDa) is an excellent surface hydrator, skin protectant, that can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water. It can act as an osmotic pump helping water-soluble actives to penetrate deeper into the skin. Smoothes the skin, boosts the tissue regeneration without scarring, prevents oxygen free radical damage.
