The advantages of marine peptides in anti aging skin care formulations

Image
As we age, our skin begins to lose its elasticity and firmness, leading to the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. While there are many different anti-aging skincare products on the market,  marine peptide based formulations  have been gaining in popularity in recent years due to their ability to target multiple extrinsic aging factors. Marine peptides, also known as marine collagen, are sustainably derived from marine algae and seaweed. These peptides are rich in amino acids, which are the building blocks of collagen and elastin, two proteins which are essential for healthy and youthful skin. As we age, our body's production of collagen and elastin decreases, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin and ultimately, a loss of elasticity. Marine peptides work to restore the levels of collagen and elastin in the skin, resulting in a more youthful and radiant appearance. Another key benefit of marine peptide based anti-aging skincare products is their ability to deeply moi...

The difference between Sodium Hyaluronate and Hyaluronic Acid.

Image
Sodium hyaluronate and hyaluronic acid are both forms of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in the human body and plays a key role in maintaining the skin's moisture levels. While these forms of hyaluronic acid are similar in many ways, some key differences do exist which are important to understand when choosing  skincare products containing these substances : Weight differences:  One of the main differences between sodium hyaluronate and hyaluronic acid is their weight. Sodium hyaluronate is a smaller molecule than hyaluronic acid, which means it can penetrate deeper into the skin.  Penetration depths:  The smaller molecular weight of sodium hyaluronate allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin than hyaluronic acid. This can make it a more effective moisturiser across the dermis layers, as it can reach the deeper layers of the skin where hydration is most needed. Moisturising benefits:  Both sodium hyaluronate and hyaluronic acid are effective mo...

Image
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in using  advanced skin care formulations  which include ingredients such as Laminaria and Fucus Algae Extract. These ingredients, derived from seaweed, are known to offer a wide range of benefits for the skin, including anti-ageing properties, moisturising properties, brightening properties and anti-inflammatory properties. In this blog post, we'll explore ten reasons why you should consider using  advanced skin care formulations  which include Laminaria and Fucus Algae Extract and how they can help improve the overall health and appearance of your skin.

How Tocopherol (Vitamin E) benefits the skin.

Image
Tocopherol, also known as vitamin E, is a powerful antioxidant that has been widely studied for its benefits on the skin. It is often used in  advanced skin care formulations  to help reduce the effects of extrinsic ageing factors, such as UV damage and pollution. One of the primary benefits of tocopherol is its ability to neutralise free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage cells and contribute to the ageing process. Free radicals are generated by UV radiation, pollution, and other environmental toxins, and they can cause damage to the skin's collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of firmness. Tocopherol, with its antioxidant properties, can help to neutralize these free radicals, protecting the skin from further damage. Another benefit of tocopherol is that it can help to improve skin hydration. The skin's barrier function, which helps to keep moisture in and environmental toxins out, can be compromised by exposure to UV radiation, ...

Differences between Plant Derived Squalane and Shark Derived Squalene

Image
Squalane is a highly sought-after ingredient in  advanced skin care formulations  due to its ability to deeply moisturise and protect the skin - but there are good versions and bad versions of this ingredient, make sure you know which version you're using. Squalene is a hydrocarbon that is similar in molecular structure to our skin's natural sebum, making it an excellent choice for those with dry or mature skin. It has also been shown to have anti-aging properties, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. There are two main types of squalene: plant-derived (spelt Squalane) and shark-derived (spelt Squalene) While both types of squalane have similar benefits for the skin, there are some key differences between the two. Plant-derived squalane is typically extracted from olive oil, rice bran oil, and sugarcane. It is a sustainable and cruelty-free option that is easily accessible and affordable. Plant-derived squalane is also non-toxic, making it safe for all ...

Why boosting collagen production in your skin is so important.

Image
Ergothioneine is a unique amino acid that has been shown to have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This has led to its growing use in advanced skin care formulations such as  Kalōnology's Pro Age Marine Collagen Boost Night Cream , as it is proven to help support collagen production and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. One of the key ways that ergothioneine supports collagen production is through its ability to catalyse oxygen consumption. Collagen is a protein that is critical for the structure and elasticity of the skin. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, leading to wrinkles and other signs of ageing. Ergothioneine has been shown to increase the activity of enzymes that are responsible for collagen synthesis, thus promoting collagen production and helping to keep the skin looking youthful and firm. Additionally, the antioxidant properties of ergothioneine help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which can contri...

How to choose a day moisturiser with hyaluronic acid and SPF.

Image
When it comes to protecting your skin from harmful rays, it's not just the sun you have to worry about. Blue light, also known as high-energy visible light, is emitted by electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and televisions. This type of light has been shown to penetrate the skin more deeply than UV rays, and can cause damage to the skin's cells, leading to wrinkles and age spots. This is where micronised titanium comes in. Not only does it help protect the skin from UV rays, but it can also help defend against blue light. The small particle size of micronised titanium allows for better and more even coverage on the skin, creating a physical barrier that can deflect both UV and blue light. Another important ingredient to look for in a face moisturiser is hyaluronic acid. This is a naturally-occurring substance that is found in the skin and helps to keep it hydrated and plump. As we age, our skin's natural levels of hyaluronic acid decrease, leading to wrinkles a...

The benefits of oxygen in advanced skin care treatments and formulations

Image
Oxygen treatments have been a popular choice among beauty enthusiasts for years, and for good reason. Oxygen is essential for the health and vitality of our skin, and when applied topically, it can do wonders for reducing the appearance of fine lines and effectively dealing with extrinsic ageing factors. But first, let's talk about why oxygen is so important for our skin. Our skin cells need oxygen to function properly and create new cells. When our skin cells don't get enough oxygen, they become sluggish and start to malfunction, leading to dull, lifeless skin.  Oxygen treatments involve infusing the skin with pure oxygen, either through a mist or a handheld device. The oxygen is delivered to the skin in a pressurised form, allowing it to penetrate deep into the skin. This helps to revive and rejuvenate dull, tired skin, giving it a healthy, youthful glow. One of the main benefits of oxygen treatments is that they can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A...
