FIRMING AND MOISTURIZATION BOOSTER is based on pea protein-peptides, aloe vera, hyaluronic acid and extract of apple pomace. Pea protein-peptide is a natural polypeptide that delays the signs of ageing on your skin. In vivo results showed that pea protein-peptides improves age-related signs on the body and face, with an increase of skin elasticity and firmness.
Elasticity on the face in 56 days +31%
Elasticity on the chest in 28 days +19%
Elasticity the arms in 21 days + 15%
Firmness on the arms in 42 days + 35%.
Used in between daily routines. Up to 95% of the volunteers perceived their skin to be firmer and smoother after 2 months.
FIRMING AND MOISTURIZATION BOOSTER contains a large amount of hyaluronic acid (HA) of different sizes hence helping the skin to preserve its humidity and elasticity. It also helps reduces wrinkles and fine lines. HA can hold up to 1,000 times its molecular weight in water [src]. Hyaluronic acid penetrates the skin and binds water to skin cells, infusing all layers of the skin with valuable, rejuvenating moisture.
Another important ingredient in FIRMING AND MOISTURIZATION BOOSTER is extract of apple pomace, an agricultural waste product that is generated after apples are pressed to obtain the juice used to make the cider. Apple pomace extract is rich in polyphenols [src] and it contributes to restoring the healthy appearance of the skin thanks to its action on reducing inflammatory processes, as well as markers associated with cellular senescence and through its multiple actions on the different steps of collagen maturation.
Humectants in aloe vera bind moisture to the skin. It can help stimulate both collagen and elastin fibers, boosting the elasticity of your skin. This can mean fewer fine lines and wrinkles.
Pea protein-peptide has antioxidant properties as it contains ellagic acid, beta-sitosterol, gallic acid and quercetin. These antioxidants can help reduce signs of sensitivity. It is a skin conditioning agent and can help skin to appear healthier. It can help boost collagen and elastin in the skin which can be caused by stress or ageing. Pea protein-peptide can help repair and protect the skin from environmental stresses, and it can help strengthen the skin elasticity making it useful in anti-aging preparations.
Pea protein-peptide from pea (Pisum Sativum (Pea) Extract) is a hydrating and firming active. It is a natural polypeptide ingredient acting as a protease inhibitor that quickly improves skin elasticity. It rebalances the regenerative and destructive processes in the skin and increases the synthesis of proteoglycan and fibres (collagen I, III, V and elastin). At the same time, it protects the skins’ architecture against damage.
Pea protein-peptide is an elastifying, firming, anti-ageing, skin protecting, skin repairing and body resculpting ingredient. It rebalances the regenerative and destructive processes in the skin and increases the synthesis of proteoglycan and fibers (collagen I, III, V and elastin).
Benefits of Pea protein-peptides
- Anti-age, protecting, repairing, skin defence.
- Elastifying, firming, moisturising.
- Soothing, anti-irritating, anti-stressed skin.
This pea extract is known for improving elasticity, firmness, and skin hydration and for boosting collagen synthesis (Types I, III and V), Elastin, GAGs and Perlecan. Perlecan is essential for the formation of the epidermis. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) primarily function is to support the most important structural proteins of the skin: collagen and elastin. Glycosaminoglycans are water-binding molecules that can hold nearly 1,000 times their own weight, which helps provide moisture to the skin. Though GAGs are best known for increasing hydration of the skin, they are also essential in keeping epidermal and dermal cells healthy and keeping collagen and elastin in good condition.
The Key Chemical Constituents in Aloe vera are vitamins (A, C, E), minerals, amino acids, enzymes, polysaccharides, saponins, anthraquinones, lignin, salicylic acid palmitic acid, oleic acid, caprylic acid, stearic acid and β-sitosterol. Aloe is known for several positive activities in connection with beauty care among the most important are antioxidant activity, prevents UVR-induced skin damage; moisturizing, antipruritic, astringent, soothing and cooling effect; antimicrobial, antifungal, wound healing, and
anti-inflammatory activity. [src]
