Vita-C Collection with Apple and Lemon Facts

We are pioneers in developing outstanding skin care products that are unique and utilize the latest biochemical developments. But this is not our only goal. For decades, we have been working for the overall health of our customers and our environment, which is a huge responsibility.
We methodically consider the strict requirements for sustainable skin care during our product development. We only create products that meet the strictest COSMOS certification, so our customers can fully trust our products.
Our Vita-C Collection with Apple and Lemon was created by these standards, too. They are COSMOS certified products that utilize the purest herbal ingredients while packed with the latest biochemical developments to deliver even more effective and more visual results.

Apple
With its high content of fruit acids, pectins, and calcium, it has anti-allergenic, disinfecting, skin softening, regenerating and skin conditioning effects. Its vitamin B and C content contribute to healthy skin functions. It helps to fight free-radical activity in the skin that causes aging.

Lemon
Rich in vitamin C and natural fruit acids, lemon juice has brightening, regenerating, moisturizing and toning effects. Antioxidants help to fight damaging free radical activity. It refreshes and rejuvenates the skin and increases its resilience. Lemon is highly recommended for oily, seborrhea skin affected by acne. Its essential oil has a pleasant, fresh aroma. The health benefits of lemon oil can be attributed to its rejuvenating, calming, anti-infection, astringent, detoxifying, antiseptic, disinfectant, and antifungal properties.

Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid restores damage resulting from surface and deep layer moisture deficiency. It maintains the degree of hydration, plasticity, and viscosity. Literally acting like a sponge, hyaluronate can retain water up to 1,000 times its own weight. HA is naturally present in our skin as our cells produce about 5 grams of it per day. However, as we age, the percentage of HA in the skin decreases; and this loss accounts for the loss of hydration and moisture in the skin.
Our Hyaluronic Acid complex is partially plant derived from tara tree seeds and marine seaweed, partially produced by biofermentation of non-GMO plant ingredients (peptone, yeast, glucose). The small molecular weight HA penetrates the deeper dermal layers to fill the lines from the inside out, while the medium molecular weight HA protects the epidermis by minimizing moisture evaporation.

Vitamin C, Ascorbyl Glucoside
Ascorbyl glucoside is a stable vitamin C derivative. It reduces fine lines, enhances collages production, and normalizes sebaceous gland functions.

Sodium PCA
A natural moisturizing factor (NMF), a humectant, that improves the skin’s ability to retain moisture. Boosting hydration helps to maintain suppleness and skin elasticity. 

Vitamin F
The added vitamin F supplies essential unsaturated fatty acids (primarily linoleic and linolenic acids) that nourish and regenerate the skin by participating in cell membrane building to protect the epidermis.

Lactococcus Ferment Lysate
A probiotic derived from Lactococcus Lactis, it effectively stimulates the skin’s self-renewal processes and promotes a healthy skin microbiome. It reduces inflammation and protects the skin from environmental damage and toxins.

Indian Reed and Poria Mushroom (prebiotic)
An active ingredient combination derived from Indian reed and poria mushroom that has soothing effects. 
Indian reed is a prebiotic that nourish the beneficial bacteria (probiotics) on the skin, strengthening its protective microbiome and supporting overall skin health. Prebiotics are typically plant-based and act as fuel for these beneficial bacteria, helping them thrive and outnumber potentially harmful microorganisms. 
Poria mushroom is another prebiotic that contains polysaccharides that act as a food source for beneficial bacteria in the skin’s microbiome. It is used I skincare for its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Poria cocos extract, derived from this mushroom, helps improve skin hydration, soothe irritation, and protect against damage caused by free radicals. Additionally, it helps brighten the skin, regulate oil production, and reinforce the skin’s natural barrier.

Zinc Sulphate
Tightens skin and promotes skin healing. It plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of cell membranes. Without zinc, membranes become fragile and less resistant to harmful effects, significantly reducing cell vitality.

The efficacy of the combination of these ingredients is proven by our clinical studies. The Vita-C Collection with Apple and Lemon has conditioning, refreshing, vitalizing, brightening, firming effects and balances the skin microbiome. These products are ideal to treat post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
