Product composition:

• Lactobionic acid (high molecular weight of 358.30 g/mol) - the latest generation acid obtained from naturally occurring lactose, belonging to the group of polyhydroxy acids due to its chemical structure (combination of gluconolactone with the sugar galactose). It is characterized by strong antioxidant properties, inhibits the action of oxygen radicals, thus counteracting the formation of wrinkles. By stimulating collagen synthesis, it strengthens repair mechanisms and provides protection against the effects of UV radiation. It is definitely a milder acid than traditional AHA and PHA acids, and has a unique ability to bind water and counteract its evaporation from the skin surface (transepidermal water loss TEWL). The presence of galactose, which is part of the intercellular matrix, stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin fibers and affects epithelial skin processes and the production of glycosaminoglycans in the dermis.
• Glycolic acid (low molecular weight 64 g/mol) - an AHA acid that complimentarily enhances the action of lactobionic acid, thanks to its simplest chemical structure and smallest molecular weight, so it easily and deeply penetrates the skin. It occurs naturally in sugar cane. It shows strong moisturizing and regenerative properties, precisely due to its hygroscopic structure. The use of glycolic acid over a long period of time contributes to an increase in the amount of properly built collagen, increasing the thickness of the skin, without causing irritation, as is the case with the use of retinoids. It is designed for all skin types.
• Salicylic acid (average molecular weight 138.12 g/mol) - a crystal-clear fat-soluble powder extracted from white willow (Salix alba) and hanging birch (Betula alba). It belongs to the group of beta-hydroxy acids BHA with comedolytic (anti-epidermal), healing inflammatory foci, bacteriostatic, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. It penetrates through the sebum layer and penetrates deep into the hair and sebaceous follicles, and is especially recommended for those with acne and excessive sebum problems.
• Witch hazel hydrolate - extract from the dry leaves of witch hazel Hamamelis virginiana L, obtained by steam distillation containing choline, gallic acid, tannins, especially ellagotannins and flavonoid glycosides (kemferol, quercetin, myricetin). It exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as antibacterial, astringent and anti-hemorrhagic properties. It is comparable to plants with analgesic effects: chamomile, lemon tree, astringent and anti-inflammatory like ivy and horse chestnut, or soothing like hellebore and velvetleaf.
• Bisabolol - the main component of chamomile flower oil with epidermal softening and anti-inflammatory properties. It is tolerated by most skin types, including the more sensitive ones due to its smoothing and moisturizing properties.
• Vitamin F - composed of three essential fatty acids, stimulating the activity of skin cells with regenerating, moisturizing, acting as a protective barrier for the skin, preventing water loss and softening the epidermis
• Coenzyme _Q10 - together with vitamin E is a great antioxidant and complements the action of lactobionic acid. The presence of anti-radical ingredients counteracts the destruction of collagen and elastin fibers, which provide firmness and elasticity of the skin.
