Our Keep It Simple approach to Skin Care

Contrarily to the general wisdom you do not need more than three products to get a perfect skin:

1) Cleanser to deep cleanse, remove dead cells and help your skin with the renewing process. Use it morning and night

2) Day moisturizer to nourish and protect your skin against the sun and pollution. Under makeup if you are using it

3) Night moisturizer to nourish and treat the eventual skin problems you may have: Wrinkles, Rosacea, Discoloration, Acne, Age spots or ?  You will change this product time to time when you want to address a specific situation. We are limited with the active ingredients we can ad in a particular product and keep it's efficacy! Do not mix products, do not try to treat more than one problem at the time. Some active ingredients in one may render the other one or both inactive by incompatibility. The active ingredients will negatively interact with each other. Some time one product will take care of more than one problem, this is an added benefit of a good treatment.

If you like you may also use a toner and an eye makeup remover, but this may not be necessary. If you use toner do not use it before treatment product at night. It closes the pores that you want open for the best penetration of the treatment product. If your skin is young and perfect using the day moisturizer at night is ok. A body lotion is also recommended for dry skin.

THE NATURAL PROTECTION OF THE SKIN

The skin Society New natural preservative

Oxidative processes are all around us. As the metabolism of every living organism depends on conversions of chemicals with a high energetic content, and oxidation is involved in every cell, it does not wonder that nature has learnt to cope with oxidative systems and exploit them for energy production. On the other hand, our life expectancy is growing and the intensity of solar radiation is increasing. Thus, the oxidative stress for our skin is much higher than years ago and we are approaching a natural limit of our skin’s resistance against the influence of sunlight, oxygen and other unavoidable oxidative burden. The results of changes in the skin’s integrity, triggered by harmful oxidative reactions, are commonly known as premature aging of the skin. Therefore we have to protect our skin against oxidative reactions to avoid premature skin aging.

As nature offers perfect antioxidants, developed in many millions of years, it doesn’t appear useful to invent new compounds. We have to identify the right compounds and blend them to obtain the best possible effect for different applications. And as described above we have identified exactly two different systems that need protection with different requirements due to their nature. Cosmetic formulations are nowadays increasingly complex formulations with sometimes expensive and often sensitive raw materials. There are growing numbers of active concepts in modern cosmetic products, many of them from natural origin. And all these products have one thing in common: they are not living systems and lack restorable antioxidant systems. Therefore they are subject to quick deterioration if not protected. In cosmetic compositions it has been found that the natural mixture of α, β, γ- and δ-tocopherols is more active against deterioration than the single species. The natural blend of Tocopherol guarantees a strong and long lasting effect for product protection. For natural cosmetics tocopherols with organic sunflower oil as solvent is the right choice.  

The protection of human skin in the sense of antiaging concepts follows other concepts. It has been shown that here it is the pure D-α−Tocopherol that shows the highest activity of the naturally occurring tocopherols. Furthermore, Natural restoration of tocopherol happens by reduction with ascorbic acid to re-establish the tocopherol’s antioxidative capacity in living cells. This cycle can be mimicked and thus additional synergistic activity can be achieved by addition of ascorbyl palmitate. This component will make the tocopherols available for a longer time. Slowing down oxidation is also achieved by addition of a chelating agent. It is well known that certain heavy metal ions (e.g. iron, copper) act as catalysts for oxidative reactions. Therefore by adding a chelator like PA (INCI: Phytic Acid) and inactivating the metal ions by complexation the oxidation will slow down and thus be a first line protection against oxidation. Phytic acid is one of the strongest natural chelating agent, exceeding the complexing power of EDTA for many metal ions. Phytic acid can be used over a broad pH range (3-10), is derived from 100% natural sources and is fully biodegradable. commercially available synthetic D,L-Tocopherol is not as effective as the natural pure D-Tocopherol. That’s why our recommendation for an effective anti-aging concept will point at. This is pure D-α−Tocopherol sourced from certified non-GMO plants. Another elegant way to protect the skin is the use of Tocopheryl Acetate  This material is stable in the cosmetic formulation and unfolds its antioxidative properties only when it is applied on the skin. There, with the help of enzymes present in our skin, fresh Tocopherols are generated from the precursor and will protect the skin. The possibilities for anti-aging concepts are completed with our green tea extracts. The Phenon group of products with its high content of polyphenols delivers well known antioxidative protection to the skin.

THE PERFORMANCE OF COSMETIC PRODUCTS

THE SKIN SOCIETY NATURAL PHYTOFERMENTS ACTIVE BOTANICALS EXTRACT

The essence of a successful cosmetic product lies in the cosmetic performance it delivers to the consumer’s skin. The old patent from the Geneva Switzerland based The Skin Society:  of Phytoferments http://www.theskinsociety.com   have been reformulated to better work with the newest developments in skin care science. To better penetrate the deepest part of the skin we have entrapped those already very active ingredients into liposomes.

The sensual experience depends on various factors like perfume, texture, skin feel of oil components and emulsifiers or the performance of active ingredients. And there are ingredients that can still improve products that already are close to perfect. Our fermentation of botanical range of active ingredients has been designed to improve and refine the skin feel in skin care products. The basic ingredient of these active raw materials is Amylose, which is a natural polymer from starch. Thus the name Phytoferments explains the nature of this class of compounds. Produced on the basis of plants and renewable materials, chemically modified to obtain high performance, Phytoferments is an ideal compromise between natural sourcing and chemical engineering for the improvement of the cosmetic performance.

Skin conditioning anti wrinkle, skin whitening, Anti aging and skin treatments such as cellulite and body sculpting have been the main target in the development of Phytoferments products. The use of different molecular sizes of amylose and the chemical modification to form this class of active materials guarantees a high flexibility in designing valuable skin care active material. Various compounds are created by this variation and we have developed perfect plant extract for different types of skin. A combination of different Phytoferments grades or the addition of other plant material opens new possibilities for specialized skin care for every type of skin condition. The balance between substantivity and removability is one key to optimization of skin care products. We have obtained it by combining different types of Phytoferments. According to their size and chemical modification they target different sites skin problems. Skin conditioning is the application that has been targeted with our Phytoferments. The assessment of several sample products showed us that the skin feel of cosmetics and toiletries is improved by addition of certain Phytoferments types. Smooth and silky skin is the result of formulations with starch based Phytoferments plant extract. This effect can be used in rinse off products such as cleansers for a rich and velvety after feel, as well as in leave on products, where a luxurious skin feel is achieved. Ease of application is something hardly found in starch based active ingredients. Proven efficacy is the ground for a successful application. Therefore we have extensive test protocols for our raw materials. We incorporate the different types in various state of the art formulations to test the performance with our In-house facilities. UV-resistance and other tests are done to carefully evaluate the performance of our Phytoferments materials in our products. Natural materials are the basis for Phytoferments, renewable sources like potatoes and tapioca provide the starch used for the production. The raw starch is refined and chemically modified to yield cosmetic ingredients with the desired functionalities.
