M – S

Magnolia
The ingredients of Magnolia magnolol and honokiol have clarifying, anti-irritating, antioxidant and resistance – enhancing properties. This aging processes are slowed down and the rejuvenating processes activated.

Mallow
Mallows contain long chain sugars and tannins. The extracts stimulate the skin’s supply with moisture by leaving a mucus layer and moisturize and soothe the skin. Suitable for dry and sensitive skin.

Marshmallow
Extracts of Marshmallow are rich in phyto-sterols and long-chain sugars. The extracts create a moisturizing and protective coat and soothe and mantle the skin. Good for the care of dry and sensitive skin.

Milk thistle
Besides bitter components, milk thistle contains unsaturated fatty acids and a flavonoid (Sylimarin) which supports the skin’s repair and protective mechanisms. Thereby, the signs of skin aging, which is promoted by external harmful influences such as UV radiation and toxins can be reduced.

Mulberry
Excerpts of mulberries are rich in vitamins (A,C,E,K and B-vitamins), cell-supporting minerals, powerful antioxidants (resvera-trol) and flavonoids (anthocyanins). These bio-active plant compounds have a strong anti-oxidative effect, provide strength and elasticity of the skin and regulate melanin synthesis, thereby pigmentation marks will be lightened. The rejuvenation processes of the skin are supported in a very natural way.
Oats
Green Oats contains of various polysaccharides (sugar molecules) and has a high content of silica, saponins and minerals. Thanks to its swelling properties, sugar molecules coat the skin and have a moisturizing and soothing effect.

Pearl
The pearl, a symbol of perfect beauty, contains minerals and trace elements. Another important ingredient is Conchiolin. Conchiolin is a protein which contains many different amino acids such as alanine, glycine, aspartic acid, serine, glutamic acid, leucine and phenylalanine, which are very similar to the natural moisturizing factor (NMF) of Strateum corneum. Pearl extracts have moisturizing, protective and regenerative properties.

Pennywort
Tiger Grass (pennywort) contains -various triterpene such as Asian Chicks-glycosides and Madecassoside which stimulate colla-gen synthesis. Extracts of tiger grass have antioxidant, regenerating, skin-smoothing and connective tissue-strengthening proper-ties.

Phytospingosine
Phytospingosine are skin-identical lipids, which are formed out of ceramides. They are found in the stratum corneum (horny layer) of the epidermis. These bioactive skin’s own lipids strengthen the defense forces of the skin, improve skin texture and regulate sebum. In addition, they provide the skin with moisture and have anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant properties.

Plum
The extracts of plum contain bitter sub-stances, tannins, minerals, trace elements and vitamins. They have clarifying, protective and skin-smoothing properties. Further secondary ingredients such as pectins are water-soluble fibers which have a high water binding capacity and thus have excellent moisture-retaining qualities.

Ratanhia roots
The red ratanhia roots contains many tannins which have astringent properties. The extracts of ratanhia roots reduce appearance of pores and have a firming effect on the skin surface.

Red clover
Extracts of red clover consist of flavonoids, phytoestrogens (isoflavones) including genistein and daidzein. These bioactive plant hormones have a similar structure to the female estrogens and activate the skin’s rejuvenating processes. They counteract the decreasing collagen and elastin production of the skin.

Rice
The rice plant has its power reserves in form of starch stored in the rice grains.  The rice starch has the ability to absorb waste products of the skin and thus supports the detoxification processes of the skin cells. Rice extracts also retain moisture in the skin and stimulate collagen production, providing the skin with elasticity and suppleness.

Shea Butter
The oil of the nuts of the shea tree has high contents of precious ingredients: vitamins E, A and skin-friendly fatty acids high in unsaponifiable oils (phyto-sterols). The oil has excellent protective properties and prevents drying of stressed skin. The skin is soft and supple and preserves the natural hydro-lipid balance.

Siberian Ginsen
Mentioned extracts from Siberian ginseng contain triterpene saponins and antioxi-dants. The Siberian Ginseng protects against oxidative stress, invigorates tired skin and has an activating effect. In phyto-therapy their adaptogenic, stimulating, anti-viral and immune-stimulating properties are used.

Soy
Extracts of soy are rich in Isaflavones as Gensitein and Daizedin. These plant hor-mones can positively influence the stimula-tion of collagen synthesis and hyaluronic acid synthesis. They strengthen the protec-tion mechanisms of the skin and reduce lines and wrinkles.

Squalane
Squalane is a transparent, odorless neutral oil, which is obtained by hydrogenating the unsaponifiable part of olive oil. Squalane oil is with a proportion of 10-15% one of the main components of sebum. The bioktive squalane penetrates rapidly into the skin without leaving a greasy film. It protects the skin against moisture loss and prevents oxidation of the body’s lipids. Squalane makes the skin soft and supple and improves the natural hydro-lipid barrier.

Stem Cells
The highly potent stem cells from the buds of the argan tree (produced in Switzerland), revitalize and protect the skin’s own stem cells of the dermis. These activated dermal stem cells differentiate fibro-blasts, which play an important role in the construction and repair processes of the extracellular matrix. This connective tissue-forming cells produce collagen and elastin which provide for the extensibility and tensile strength of the skin. The dermis is plumped; the skin’s repair mechanisms repair mechanisms are activated. The skin will be tightened skin and rejuvenated.
