Active ingredients

• Retinol, retinal, retinoid are derivatives of vitamin A, which play an essential role in the growth processes of cells. Retinol is converted into vitamin A acid in the body and then unfolds its power. The vitamin supports the skin's regeneration process, it stimulates the metabolism and stimulates collagen production. Its plumping effect improves the structure of the skin and makes the skin appear plumper, smoother and more even. Retinol leads to a higher sensitivity to solar radiation and is best used in conjunction with UV protection or in the evening.
• Aloe Vera Extract / Juice (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract / Juice) provides natural moisture, prevents dry out the skin and strengthens the natural skin barrier. Aloe Vera contains vitamins, minerals, enzymes and essential amino acids. Provides oxygen to the skin and is believed to be effective in supporting cell renewal. Binds moisture, has a cooling, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect.
• Saffron (Saffron (Crocus Sativus)) It is a brightening, antioxidant powerhouse with strong anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It removes dead skin cells and excess oil and helps fight blemishes and acne. Can protect against damage caused by UV radiation and prevent premature skin aging. Lycopene, zeaxanthin as well as alpha and beta carotene help minimize scars, brighten the skin and make it supple and soft.
• Squalane or squalane oil (squalane) is a lightweight, non-comedogenic and non-greasy oil that leaves skin silky soft. Squalane is a natural component of our skin barrier and is therefore very well absorbed by our skin. It protects the skin from moisture loss and prevents the skin's own fats from oxidizing. The regenerating oil prevents age spots, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, makes the skin supple and promotes the oxygen supply and regeneration of the cells. It is mostly obtained from olive oil, more rarely from rice germ or wheat germ oil. For cosmetics, squalene is converted into squalane. Squalane It no longer contains unsaturated compounds and is therefore resistant to oxidation and has a longer shelf life. Incidentally, squalane was originally extracted from shark liver, hence its name. Squalus is the Latin name for shark.
• Ceramides are lipids (fats) that occur naturally in our skin. They form the basis of our skin's barrier function. The skin barrier ensures that no harmful substances get into the skin and that the skin remains well moisturized. A functioning skin barrier is essential for healthy skin. Ceramides reduce water loss from the skin, also known as TEWL (Trans Epidermal Water Loss), and protect against environmental pollution, bacteria and other influences to which the skin is exposed. Ceramides are therefore an effective anti-aging agent that also helps to keep the skin supple and soft.
• Pomegranate Seed Oil (Punica Granatum Seed Oil) contains the rare omega 5 fatty acids (punicic acid). These fatty acids have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The oil supports the fight against free radicals and premature skin retention, can alleviate age spots and promotes collagen synthesis and thus skin regeneration and repair. The oil also contains secondary plant substances such as flavonoids, polyphenols and phytosterols, all of which have strong regenerative effects.
