2. RETINYL PALMITATE- Retinyl Palmitate is the active ingredient for cosmetic skin-care products. They release Vitamin A in contact with enzymes in the skin. Vitamin A stimulates cell growth, increases enzyme activity, and normalizes cell division. It is therefore able to counteract the skin aging process and improve the appearance of UV-damaged skin.
3. HIPPOPHAE RHAMNOIDES OIL- Also known as sea buckthorn, this berry is a good source of vitamin C as well as various B vitamins, vitamin E, lycopene, phytosterols, and numerous phenolic compounds that provide antioxidant benefits.

4. toSea buckthorn (is a thorny shrub that has small, yellow to dark orange, soft, juicy berries. Due to hydrophilic and lipophilic ingredients, berries have been used as food and medicine.

4. BORAGO OFFICINALIS SEED OIL- Soothing and regulating. Borage oil is the richest plant-based source of gamma linoleic acid (GLA) known, with around 21% of the oil constituting GLA. GLA is an incredibly important fatty acid, as it ensures the integrity of the skin cell membranes. This allows the skin to effectively keep the moisture in and irritants out. GLA is also the precursor for potent, hormone-like compounds called eicosanoids, which helps modulate normal skin physiologic processes by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and increasing moisture retention. Anti-aging and conditioning- Borage oil is extremely rich in tocopherols (forms of vitamin E) – 97% of them being delta-tocopherols. Tocopherols are very potent anti-oxidants and have been well documented for having anti-aging and skin conditioning properties. They are also very good in protecting the skin cells from the oxidative stress caused by UV radiation. The borage plant is also very rich in phenolic compounds, which are strong free radical scavengers, however, more research has to conducted to confirm their presence in the oil itself. Repairing and moisturizing- Borage oil’s high GLA and linoleic acid (LA) content make it a fantastic rebuilder of the skin’s barrier. A strong skin barrier reduces the so-called trans epidermal water loss (TEWL), meaning the skin retains moisture for longer. This in turn leads to the skin looking smoother and more elastic.

Their frequent application to impaired skin could contribute to the sensitization rates seen.
10. Carosine - anti-glycation factor. Proteins are the substances most responsible for the daily functioning of living organisms. Destruction of proteins can be caused by oxidation (as by free radicals) and protein-sugar reactions (glycation). Once too many proteins lose their ability to function, the body becomes prone to degenerative diseases and premature aging. Carnosine, an amino acid compound, has been shown to specifically protect against the age-related degradation of the protein.
Carosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) is a dipeptide of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine. It is highly concentrated in muscle and brain tissues. Carnosine has shown that it has a number of antioxidant properties that may be beneficial. It has been proven to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as alpha-beta unsaturated aldehydes formed from the peroxidation of cell membrane fatty acids during oxidative stress.
Carnosine is also a zwitterion, a neutral molecule with a positive and negative end. Carnosine can increase the Hay flick limit in human fibroblasts, as well as appear to reduce the telomere shortening rate. Carnosine is also considered a geroprotector.

Vitamin C benefits among other uses as a de-pigmentation agent and an antioxidant able to scavenge free radicals
13. SILYBUM MARIANUM FRUIT EXTRACT- Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a flowering plant from the daisy family. This fairly typical thistle has red to purple flowers and shiny pale green leaves with white veins. Originally a native from Southern Europe through to Asia, it is now found all over the world. Polyphenol silymarin is the major active substance of milk thistle and is able to capture and neutralize free radicals. Furthermore, it inhibits lipid peroxidation and inflammation as well as the release of histamine.

LIPOSOME COMPLEXES OF THE ABOVE-MENTIONED

The following ingredients are introduced in liposomes/
How Do Liposomes Work?
– Liposomes are extremely large structures. The small unilamellar vesicles which are manufactured have a molecular weight in the hundreds of thousands
– The sheer size of the liposomes indicates that they cannot penetrate into the deeper epidermis. However, the studies show that twice as much active will reach into the living epidermis.
– Liposomes are hydrated bilayer structures; they are readily compatible with the peridermal lipids (the skin’s primary moisture barrier) which exist as lamellar bilayers.
– Lamellar bilayers require less moisture to maintain their structure. When a liposome fuses with the epidermal lipids, the epidermal lipid structure becomes overloaded with water and out of equilibrium. To restore the equilibrium the water and phospholipid (+ associated active) are rapidly churned
