Moisturization

Question 1

Aesthigel

Answer 1

1. algae from Baltic Sea
2. moisturizes at every level of skin & triples HA
3. increases HA, ceramide & filaggrin synthesis
4. tests/proof:
   
   • HA-like but faster and more efficient (single application and after 2 weeks)
   • at surface, HA like; in skin, helps to increase HA
   • 1 week restructuring effect (picture)
   • increases ceramide production (mortar) to retain h20

Question 2

Aminohydrane (skin)

Answer 2

1. sodium salt of polyaspartic acid created from amino acid L-aspartic acid
2. protects and retains moisture
3. forms a flexible film
4. tests/proof:
   
   • 1 hr moisturization (in vivo)
   • 24 hr moisturization (in vivo)

Question 3

Merospheres-V

Answer 3

1. encapsulated ursolic acid (rosemary extract)
2. restores ceramide production which improves
   barrier strength and moisturizes from inside
3. increases ceramide production & collagen synthesis
4. test/proof:
   -0.30% takes back 25 yrs in 11 days!
   -1% increases fatty acid reservoir
   -in 5 days, increases cholesterol esters 100%
   -total ceramides in 5 days
   -compared to retinol, but is synergistic with it

Question 4

Phytofix-EC

Answer 4

1. cucumber, barley, sunflower
2. strengthens barrier to keep moisture; resist stingers
3. lipids in it are similar to skin barrier and can penetrate quickly acting as a mortar for cells
4. test/proof: no pictures
   -in vivo at 1%: after 5 days of ethanol use, barrier is
   repaired
   -in vivo at 1%: barrier rebuilt after 4 days and skin
   desorption takes longer
