Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 (Q10 for short) is a naturally produced body enzyme and one of the most essential antioxidants. It is a type of fat-soluble quinone compound. It is found in every cell of the human body. CoQ10 is vital in the production of energy in cells.

  When we are younger, we can produce as much CoQ10 as we need for energy, but as we age, aging and stress slow down the process of creating CoQ10 and our stocks decrease. 

Benefits of Q10 for

Skin Stimulates cell activity: CoQ10 plays a critical role in the production of ATP, an energy source for cell processes. As we age, our cells slow down and produce less energy. This is especially true for rapidly dividing cells, such as cells in the skin. Active skin cells easily get rid of toxins and can better use nutrients. When your skin ages, all of these processes slow down, resulting in dull, pale, wrinkled skin.

Reduces sun damage: The skin is damaged when exposed to the sun's UV rays, which are the source of free radicals that can damage the DNA of cells. The powerful antioxidant function of CoQ10 helps protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun and damage caused by free radicals at the molecular level.

Evens out skin tone: CoQ10 works to block the enzyme tyrosinase, which helps in the production of melanin, which means that CoQ10 can help reduce and prevent dark spots.

Stimulates collagen and elastin production: CoQ10 supports the body's ability to produce collagen and elastin

Regenerates skin cells: More energetic skin cells mean healthier skin cells. Adding CoQ10 to your skincare can allow your cells to make better use of other nutrients, resulting in healthier skin overall. Helps reduce damage caused by free radicals: Because CoQ10 aids in cell activity, it means that your cells may be more efficient at clearing toxins such as free radicals and healing the damage caused by them.

Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines: This ingredient helps your body produce collagen and elastin, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Arbutus Unedo (Mountain Strawberry) Leaf Juice

is obtained from the leaves of the Mountain Strawberry Tree. It is known for its soothing and antioxidant properties, which help to calm the skin and protect it against environmental damage.

Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid)

 Hyaluronic acid is a molecule found naturally in our skin and connective tissue in our body. It is a naturally occurring polysaccharide in the human body and acts as a moisturizing agent for our joints, nerves, hair, skin, and eyes.

 Hyaluronic acid can draw moisture from the air and keep your skin hydrated, holding almost 1000 times its weight in water. So it's not just a humidifier, but it also has extra moisture retention.

 It helps to replenish and retain cell moisture, leading to hydrated, plump skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Since dehydrated skin is one of the main causes of wrinkles, hyaluronic acid restores lost moisture and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Panthenol

Panthenol is the provitamin for Vitamin B5 (a precursor or substance that the body is able to convert into a specific vitamin). When panthenol is applied topically, it is rapidly converted to vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid. B5 effectively binds to water and holds it. 

 It moisturizes the skin and helps it maintain its softness and elasticity. Unlike other common moisturizing ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, panthenol acts as both a moisturizer and an emollient. Moisturizers attract water and bind it to the skin, while emollients (emollients) close the cracks in the skin and keep the water inside.

 In addition to keeping moisture in the skin for a long time, it also helps stimulate cells that strengthen the skin barrier function. The same cells that strengthen the skin barrier function are also important for wound healing, which is why panthenol is often used to speed up the healing of wounds.

 Geranium Oil & Juice/Hydrolate (Pelargonium Graveolens)

 Used by the ancient Egyptians to provide beautiful and radiant skin, the pelargonium plant is used for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect. With its pleasant smell, it can also improve your mood. 

 Geranic acid, which is found in large amounts in geranium oil, helps to regulate the melanin secretion of the skin, helping to prevent the formation of blemishes and reduce existing blemishes

Zinc Oxide Zinc

is a mineral with anti-inflammatory and skin-healing properties. It can be used both internally through diet and supplements, and externally to benefit your skin.

  The anti-inflammatory effects of zinc have been proven by research. This makes it ideal for skincare products that combat breakouts, inflammatory skin conditions, and even dry skin caused by eczema.

 Not only does it protect your skin from harm, but it also helps repair the skin and supports the wound healing process.

 While chemical sunscreens are absorbed by the skin, mineral or physical sun protection, such as zinc oxide, works by settling on the skin's surface and removing UV rays from the skin. We can also call this movement the reflection of UV rays away from the skin like a mirror. When applied to the surface of the skin, there is less potential for irritation, so mineral preservatives should be the first choice for sensitive skin. The sun protection of zinc oxide is extremely strong. It is a broad-spectrum sunscreen, it has wide UVA coverage and also UVB coverage.

Licorice Root Extract (Glycyrrhiza Glabra Extract)

 The root of the licorice plant has been used for medicinal purposes since ancient times. It is also the source of licorice root extract, which is used for skin beauty. This extract is packed with a variety of beneficial compounds that provide antioxidant and anten-inflammatory effects while also helping to fade dark spots. 

 Lightens Skin Blemishes: Minimizes tyrosinase production to combat discoloration. The production of melanin (aka pigment or color) is a complex process, but at the heart of the matter is an enzyme known as tyrosinase. Licorice root inhibits the production of tyrosinase, preventing the formation of dark spots. It also brightens the skin in another way; It contains an active compound called liquiritin, liquiritin helps to disperse and remove melanin present in the skin. In other words, licorice root can not only prevent new stains from forming, but also lighten existing stains.

 Reduces Irritation: Contains lycocalcone A, a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound. Lycocalcone A can activate anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes. These enzymes protect skin cells from damage caused by oxidative stress. Licochalcone A also soothes irritated skin and redness.

Myrtle Water (Myritus Communis Water)

Mersin is a shrub native to the Mediterranean region. It is antioxidant in nature due to the active ingredients such as anthocyanins and flavonoids it contains. It protects the skin not only from harmful oxidation processes, but also from free radicals. 

 Myrtle naturally contains ellagic acid, a polyphenol. Ellagic acid helps improve skin quality. There are studies showing that it increases the production of collagen fibers. It also binds to elastin fibers, creating a protective layer that will keep them healthy for longer.

Unrefined Cocoa Butter Cocoa

 butter is a naturally deliciously fragrant, gorgeous moisturizer. It is rich in fatty acids and deeply moisturizes the skin, but also rich in antioxidants that help fight damage caused by free radicals. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help repair skin damage, reduce trans-epidermal water loss, and increase collagen production.

Vitamin

 E Vitamin E is a fat-soluble micronutrient that is essential for the overall health of the body. It is an antioxidant; It helps protect our cells from damage caused by free radicals. Aside from its nutritional benefits, Vitamin E is also essential for keeping our skin looking healthy. 

 It helps to lock in moisture and reduce dryness in the skin. It protects the skin from cell damage and softens the skin. It is especially useful in extremely dry and rough areas of the skin
