- Ceramides are a group of organic chemical compounds classified as sphingolipids, which are a key part of the binder that fills the spaces between the cells of the stratum corneum. Deficiencies of ceramides in the epidermis result in increased permeability of the epidermal barrier, leading to increased transepidermal water loss and decreased epidermal hydration, while a dysfunctional lipid barrier increases the risk of skin irritation. Ceramides can support acne skin care. - Zinc hyaluronate (zinc-HA) and zinc pyroglutamate (zinc-PCA) - A combination used in the treatment of skins with imperfections due to its antibacterial, soothing and seboregulatory effects. Zinc-PCA further reduces the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, which has a 3-fold higher affinity for androgen receptors present in the skin than testosterone. Both androgens stimulate sebum production and enhance keratinization. Zinc hyaluronate, on the other hand, combines the sebum-regulating effects of zinc and the moisturizing functions of hyaluronic acid. - Lactoferrin - A protein naturally produced by our body, essential in immune building processes. It is present in many body fluids and glandular secretions, such as milk, saliva, tears, nasal cavity gland secretions. Stimulates the process of keratinocyte differentiation, wound healing and skin lesions. It acts as a protein with the ability to combine with iron ions, which makes it more easily absorbed by the body. - Centella Asiatica extract (including asiaticoside and madecassoside) - is a traditional plant used for medicinal and cosmetic purposes for thousands of years. It is characterized by an exceptionally broad spectrum of uses, mainly due to the presence of pentacyclic triterpene saponins (Asiaticoside, Madecassoside) and tannins, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In cosmetic products, it has found use in protecting the skin from oxidative stress, stimulating epidermal renewal processes and soothing irritation.
