Preserving the natural beauty of the skin.

PreBIULIN® FOS is a polyfructose extracted from the chicory root (Cichorium Intybus) and enzymatically purified towards a chain length of 10 fructose units and higher.
PreBIULIN® FOS preserves the healthy look of the skin by balancing the human skin microbiota. It also balances the microorganism responsible for body odor.

The Final Barrier

The main skin function is to build a protective barrier against the aggressive environment. The epidermis and more specifically the horny layer forms a shield that keeps out undesirable chemicals and bacteria.
Recent scientific research discovered that our barrier on its turn is protected by a far more impressive shield: a layer of microorganisms covering the epidermis. This layer outnumbers clearly the amount of skin cells. Each skin cell is guarded by a unit of at least 10 beneficial microorganisms: 90% of our skin is formed by this human skin flora.
This microbiotic film forms an impenetrable labyrinth for foreign/harmful microorganisms.
The discovery of this final and most important barrier is a game changer. Skin imperfections and skin discomfort are actually caused by a disturbance of our protective microflora.

Skin Prebiotic

preBIULIN® FOS is a novel and scientifically tested skin prebiotic. A prebiotic is actually a selective food supplement for our protective and beneficial skin microbiota. Harmful microorganisms cannot metabolize the prebiotic. Hence the natural skin flora is reinforced and balanced, while the harmful microorganisms are disadvantaged.

Being the first barrier, our skin microbiota is constantly attacked by the harsh environment. The delicate balance of our skin microbiota can be disturbed by pollution, excessive UV, domestic chemicals, aggressive cosmetics.

When this barrier weakens, our skin becomes sensitive, dry, infected, itchy and wrinkled: the skin ages.
A classic cosmetic approach does not take into account the needs of this crucial barrier. The solution to slow down skin aging and to keep the skin in a healthy shape is to energize and to protect this precious skin microbiota barrier.
preBIULIN® FOS is a scientifically proven prebiotic that makes our skin microbiota and our skin more resistant.
Protecting, reinforcing and balancing the human skin microbiota is an essential strategy in preserving our skin health and beauty.

OLEOSOFT-4. ALL THE ENERGY OF VEGETAL OILS ENZYMATICALLY ACTIVATED

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

OleoSoft-4 has been developed applying our enzymatic activation technology to a mix of almond oil, olive oil, linseed oil and borage oil, chosen for their content in different classes of highly nourishing fatty acids. This technology is able to release all the energy entrapped in vegetal oil stored in plants under the form of triglycerides. This process allows to break up triglycerides into their constituents (fatty acids and glycerides), creating a completely new Phyto complex.

Oleosoft-4 is able to moisturize the skin being much more quickly absorbed compared with the mix of untreated oils and it leaves the skin far less greasy with an amazing silicone like touch.

Oleosoft-4 can deeply nourish the skin affected by stretch marks, improving the elasticity and smoothness of the skin while reducing the redness.

LIFE ESSENCE-VITIS. FROM VINEYARDS ON THE ITALIAN HILLS. THE ESSENCE OF LIFE.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Spring has arrived in the Emilian hills and the warmth of the sun awakens the Malvasia vines from their tong winter sleep. Noting this rise in temperature, the root of the vine activates the upward circulation of the precious tears of a powerful essence of life: vine sap.

Vine sap contains a great vital force linked to the presence of a complex but extremely well-balanced mix of nutritional substances such as mineral salts, amino acids, natural saccharides, polyphenols, organic acids and auxins. This ideal plant cell nutrient is also a precious ally in nourishing and stimulating our cells and skin microbiota. In order to effectively transfer vine sap to our skin and hair without altering its properties, we enclosed these precious tears inside plant liposomal systems. Life Essence-Vitis is therefore an essential nutrient able to improve the condition of the skin, increasing moisturization and elasticity and repairing heavily damaged hair increasing elasticity and delaying breakage.

BENEFITS

• Efficient skin nutrition and stimulation (in vitro tests)
• Increases skin elasticity (+19,7 % in vivo test)
• Promotes skin moisturization (+10.3 % in vivo test)
• Increases hair elasticity (+13,7 % ex vivo test)

LUMINESCINE. Protect from harmful high-energy UV radiation.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

LUMINESCINE is the first natural active ingredient for cosmetics based on plant photoluminescence, the emission of visible light by a substance caused high (UV) energy light.

Flowers are the main tool for plant reproduction and they hide secret tricks to better compete for pollinating insects. Mullein (Verbascum Thapsus) flowers are able to harvest UV radiation and transform it into new visible light to appear brighter, becoming more visible in the meadow and therefore, having a greater chance to attract insects.

In creating LUMINESCINE we harvested this secret feature of flowers allowing to create highly innovative cosmetic products. LUMINESCINE is able to protect from harmful high-energy UV radiation, transforming it into a source of light that radiates directly from the skin and hair making them looking more radiant, shinier, younger and healthier.

BENEFITS

• Produces light due to photoluminescence (in vitro tests)
• Increases skin radiance (+5 5 ∆ L a.u. in vivo test)
• Improve hair brightness and shine (up to +10.3 ∆ L a.u. ex vivo test)
• Protects from UV-blue light induced photo-oxidative stress (in vitro tests)
• Inhibits tyrosinase and melanin synthesis (in vitro tests)

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

INCI: glycerin, hydrolyzed Verbascum Thapsus flower, citric acid, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate

PLANT USED: Mediterranean mullein (Verbascum Thapsus) flowers.

TECHNOLOGY: Bio liquefaction Technology

SUGGESTED CONCENTRATION FOR USE 3-5% w/w.

ORGANIC WHITE TRUFFLE / W TR-ACTIVE MULTIPLE ANTI-AGING EFFECTS THROUGH EPIGENETIC MODULATION

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

White truffle is one of the most exclusive food on the market, it is not only delicious but also extremely rare because it only grows in some specific areas and only in Italy. Truffles have been known since the beginning of time and were greatly appreciated by the Romans, who believed this precious fungus was generated by lightning thrown by Jupiter near an oak.

White truffles have also always been considered an aphrodisiac food and apparently Casanova was using them to seduce women. This feature seems to be triggered by the chemicals creating the truffle aroma, given that in nature truffles attract mammals consuming the fruiting bodies and contribute to spore dispersal due to pheromone-like molecules.

W Tr-Active was tested to evaluate the gene expression modulation of over 42,000 genes on two different cell lines. W Tr-Active was able to successfully modulate several groups of genes (MMPs, extracellular matrix proteins, aquaporins, and damaged protein degradation processes and Vita genes) involved in preventing skin from aging and promoting skin health by delivering a broad-spectrum action. The in vivo test proved that W Tr-Active was able to act as a powerful multiple anti-aging active ingredient able to reduce wrinkles and eye bags, increase skin tone and thickness (filler effect) and significantly improve skin moisture.

BENEFITS

• Positive epigenetic modulation of anti-aging, repairing and protective genes (in vitro tests)
• Increases skin elasticity (+35.0% in vivo test)
• delivers a filler effect (+0.39 mm in vivo test)
• Reduces wrinkles (-12.8% in vivo test)
• Reduces eye bags (-14.0% in vivo test)
• Promotes skin hydration (+13.0% in 24 hours, +45.0% in 15 days in vivo test)

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

INCI: glycerin, Tuber magnatum extract, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate.

PLANT USED: white truffle (Tuber magnatum Pico) from the Alba area, Italy.

TECHNOLOGY: Bio liquefaction Technology. SUGGESTED CONCENTRATION OF USE: 1% w/w. ORGANIC STATUS: COSMOS approved.
