What clinical trials say
‘As one of the most powerful antioxidants in the skin, VITAMIN C has been shown to protect against photoaging, ultraviolet-induced immunosuppression, and photocarcinogenesis. It also has an antiaging effect by increasing collagen synthesis, stabilizing collagen fibers, and decreasing collagen degradation. It decreases melanin formation, thereby reducing pigmentation. Vitamin C is the primary replenisher of vitamin E and works synergistically with vitamin E in the protection against oxidative damage.’
‘FERULIC ACID has a protective role for the main skin structures: keratinocytes, fibroblasts, collagen, elastin. It inhibits melanogenesis, enhances angiogenesis, and accelerates wound healing.’
‘GERANIUM OIL grew to establish a long-standing, strong association with supporting hormonal balance, particularly for women around the menstrual cycle. Even without hormonal imbalance, geranium oil is helpful for both men and women in soothing emotional upsetand can be useful for states of frustration, emotional exhaustion and anxiety. Geranium can also be used as a wonderful skin oil as it has properties that can soothe congestion, including acne, eczema, or inflamed skin. If the skin flares up from hormonal changes, Geranium can be useful in restoring harmony.’
‘HYALURONIC ACID is the most important naturally ocurring particule that prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL) on our skin, that means it’s keeping your skin hydrated by making sure that water doesn’t escape from your skin’s surface.’
