PREBIOTICS

The prebiotics ALPHA-GLUCAN OLIGOSACCHARIDES and INULIN serve as a food source for bacteria and can thus work together to support the skin’s commensal flora and strengthen the skin barrier by inhibiting the growth of unwanted bacteria on the skin. Together, they can alleviate skin symptoms such as dryness and itching.

POSTBIOTICS

The postbiotic BIFIDA FERMENT LYSATE reduces skin redness and strengthens the skin barrier by increasing the production of proteins that help stabilize the skin’s cellular structures. LACTOCOCCUS FERMENT LYSATE promotes skin renewal and accelerates the restoration of the skin barrier. It can improve the function of the skin barrier, optimize skin hydration, and regulate the skin’s pH level, which may allow the skin’s lipid-forming enzymes to function close to their optimal pH.

ECTOIN

Ectoin belongs to the group of extremolytes—small molecules that protect microorganisms in extreme environments, such as salt lakes or deserts, from environmental stressors. As a natural cell-protective ingredient, ectoine shields the skin from environmental stressors, supports its regeneration, and helps reduce moisture loss over the long term. 1% ectoine can reduce redness, strengthen the skin barrier, and increase skin hydration.

5-FOLD CERAMIDE COMPLEX

The 5-in-1 Ceramide Complex combines five types of ceramides (EOP, NG, NP, AG, AP) that work synergistically to strengthen the skin barrier and maintain the skin’s moisture levels. Ceramides are a class of lipids that play a central role in the health and function of the skin. Together with other lipids, they form a barrier that protects the skin from external influences and moisture loss.

PEPTIDES

Peptides are considered promising active ingredients in the field of well-aging. Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, and Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester specifically support skin regeneration and firming.

ASTAXANTHIN

Blood-red algae (Haematococcus pluvialis) is considered a natural source for the biological production of astaxanthin, which is known as one of the most powerful natural antioxidants. It is said to offer numerous benefits for the skin, including photoprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects.
