ANTI-AGING SKIN CREAM
Anti-aging Skin Cream: A phyto-rich, therapeutic
formulation targets environmentally stressed skin and promotes
and improves daily skin health.
As we age, our skin becomes more demanding. This Aloe-based
moisturizing cream with Flavosomes™ technology is
the ultimate high performance beauty treatment to help restore
the skin’s look of youthful vitality and firmness.
Since the skin is our largest exposed organ, it receives
the most oxidative abuse. These toxin-induced free radicals
must be successfully combated to achieve and retain beautiful
skin.
FLAVOSOMES™ is a proprietary formula consisting of
extracts of the edible portion of the artichoke, sarsaparilla
root, and rose petals in a liquid concentrate developed
to be used as a cosmetic/skin care ingredient. The naturally
occurring flavonoids and polyphenols, acid, sarsaponin,
stigmasterol, and glycolic acid, have extensive history
of addressing the damage to skin brought on by chronic exposure
to external and internal toxins, ultraviolet radiation,
hormonal imbalances, free radical damage, and what is considered
normal degenerative processes due to aging. This complex
of phytonutrients provide comprehensive protection and regenerative
qualities to any skin care program by adding the following
features:
Anti-Oxidant. FLAVOSOMES™ inhibits free radical damage
brought about by exposure to environmental pollutants, drug
use, ultraviolet radiation, and improper diets. Free radical
formation is responsible for causing collagen, a protein
found in the dermal layer of the skin, to become hard and
cross-linked with neighboring collagen fibers, preventing
it from holding water and maintaining elasticity. This cross-linked
collagen then collapses on itself resulting in wrinkling
of the skin. FLAVOSOMES™ has a group of phytonutrients,
including Vitamin C that function as anti-oxidants and neutralize
these harmful free radicals to help prevent damage to the
skin’s dermal layer and keep the skin hydrated, soft,
and supple.
Anti-Aging. FLAVOSOMES™ helps to keep the skin cell
membranes resilient by providing an array of poly-unsaturated
fatty acids and other fatty acids that enhance healthy cell
membrane function. By normalizing cell membrane permeability,
elimination of environmental and internal toxins is increased,
thereby preventing toxic accumulation and premature cell
death.
Anti-Inflammatory. FLAVOSOMES™ provides a complex
of plant flavonoids that promote the binding of protein
links within the cell membranes, thereby supporting cellular
repair, decreasing the normal healing inflammatory processes
and minimizing the visible signs of aging.
Ultraviolet Filter. FLAVOSOMES™ are pigments produced
by the plant to carry on various functions. Some of these
flavonoids are used by the plant to prevent damage due to
extended exposure to harmful ultraviolet radiation from
the sun. These same plant pigments, found in high concentrations
in the FLAVOSOMES™, offer a good natural protection
and help to prevent premature aging of the skin.
Cellular Regenerative. The flavonoids found with FLAVOSOMES™
have been found to increase microcirculation to the skin,
as well as decrease capillary wall fragility. By normalizing
blood supply, FLAVOSOMES™ supports the body’s
efforts in providing adequate nutrition to the cells, and
at the same time, help to eliminate accumulation of metabolic
and environmental toxins resulting in a smooth, youthful
complexion.
Natural Exfolient. Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA’a) are
a group of plant or fruit acids that promote the exfoliation,
or removal, of dead skin cells. Studies show that, because
of its size, Glycolic Acid possesses the greatest penetration
potential of this entire group. Other Alpha Hydroxy Acids
include malic acid, found in apples, lactic acid, found
in sour milk, and tartaric acid in grapes. Glycolic Acid,
found naturally occurring in artichoke, helps to dissolve
the “cellular cement” that binds dead cells
together. Consequently, the skin’s dry, outer layer
is gently sloughed away, revealing a softer, revitalized
glow.
Anti-Microbial. The flavonoids found in FLAVOSOMES™
have been found to have anti-viral qualities accomplished
by providing a protective coating around the skin’s
cell membranes, preventing viral penetration through the
skin cell membrane, and supporting the skin’s efforts
in fighting infection from opportunistic micro-organisms.
