Infused with innate anti-aging and free-radical fighting properties, the elderberries keep skin radiant and juvenile for a long period. Acting as a natural detoxifying agent, elderberry also helps keep away distressing skin conditions like breakouts, boils and scars. Elderberries are rich in vitamin A and B6.
ADIPOLESS™
Adipoless™ is quinoa extract – the role of quinoa is to stop cell maturation and force the adipocytes to become dormant. Adipoless™ is primarily used as a preventative. It stops the body from forming the blood vessels that make fat. Like Adiposlim™, Adipoless™ stops fat cells from being able to form, and can halt the formation of new cellulite.
ADIPOSLIM™
Adiposlim™ is a main component of dermal structure proteins and lauric acid. It targets the adipocytes, amongst the biggest cells in the body and used to store fat. Adiposlim™ releases fatty acids into the blood stream, preventing them from clumping together, and forming bumpy cellulite. Women have a 10:1 ratio of alpha receptors to beta receptors, and since alpha receptors trigger fat storage, a higher ratio of these receptors can lead to more body fat and cellulite. Adiposlim can help to reduce the effects of these alpha receptors by blocking them, and activating beta receptors to burn fat. A clinical trial using Adiposlim™ on the thigh area showed a visual improvement in the appearance of cellulite in 71% of treated subjects.
PLANTAGO OVATA
Plantago species have been used since prehistoric times as herbal remedies. The herb is astringent, anti-toxic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-histamine. The Plantago leaf extract is useful for insect bites, poison-ivy rashes, minor sores, and boils. It calms the skin after burns and reduces redness.
HESPERIDIN METHYL CHALCONE
Hesperidin methyl chalcone is a bioflavinoid found in naturally high concentrations in the peel, pulp, and membranes of citrus fruit, such as grapefruits, lemons, and oranges. Hesperidin methyl chalcone has antioxidant properties, which help it to combat the inflammation and cell damage caused by free radicals.
VITAMIN K (VITAMIN K-1)
Vitamin K is the body’s natural blood coagulating agent which stops the spread of blood from seeping further. Individuals with low levels of Vitamin K will often experience wider and darker bruises, taking excessively long periods of time to recover because is not enough Vitamin K in their systems to prevent this from occurring.
ARGIRELINE (HEXAPEPTIDE-3)
An anti-wrinkle inhibitor that will reduce pre-existing wrinkle depth and relax facial tension. Leuphasil compliments the action of Argireline by modulating muscle contraction, especially beneficial for reducing depth of wrinkles around the eye and forehead areas. These peptides can significantly modulate muscle contraction thereby destabilizing the cell so it cannot release the neurotransmitters that make the muscle contract thus preventing formation of lines and wrinkles.
COPPER PEPTIDE COMPLEX
Peptides are small fragments of proteins, and proteins are the key building blocks of most living tissues. Certain kinds of peptides have an avid affinity for copper, to which they bind very tightly. The resulting compound consisting of a peptide and a copper atom has become known as a copper peptide. A distinctive feature of GHK copper peptides is that they reduce scar tissue formation while stimulating normal skin remodeling. In other words, they help better restore the damaged area to its original look.
SALICYLIC ACID
Occurs naturally in wintergreen leaves, sweet birch and other plants. Topically it is an anesthetic, a sunscreen and a fungicide with a mild peeling effect.

STRAWBERRY OIL
Soothing, astringent, and firming; strawberries contain more vitamin C than an orange and also contains ellagic acid, a super antioxidant.
OXYGEN PLASMA
A completely natural and organic complex carbon molecule which mimics the blood’s ability to carry oxygen and biologically active substances into cells.
Used in skin care products, it transports huge volumes of oxygen to tissues, activating tissue-breathing processes, and allowing for more effective penetration of other active compounds. Skin care products containing Oxygen Plasma are hypoallergenic and feature bio-stimulating and regenerative actions, and speeds up skin’s healing process.
LYCOPENE
Carotenoid pigment that has potent antioxidant properties (almost three times higher than that of betacarotene). Introduction of lycopene into cosmetic means allows improvement of cells metabolism and tissue breathing, promotes restoration of the cell structures of the skin, turns on the protective functions of skin, and quenches free radicals.
CO-ENZYME Q 10
(CoQ-10) A natural substance found in every cell of the human body. In our mid twenties its activity decreases. Naturally occurring in the tissue of plants, CoQ-10 (also known as “ubiquinone”) is a vitamin-like anti-oxidant that boosts cellular activity. It helps to fortify the skin’s defenses against UV damage, while reducing the appearance of wrinkles, strengthening cell membranes, and providing the skin with new energy.
COCO-GLUCOSIDE
This natural source surfactant is exceptionally mild and has excellent cleansing and foaming characteristics. Results from several studies demonstrate Cocoglucoside ET to be non-irritating to skin and eyes, which makes it an ideal ingredient for tear-free cleanser.

QUINOA SEED EXTRACT
A herbaceous plant native to South America that helps inhibit the formation of new fat cells and tissues within the skin to prevent cellulite formation by blocking MMP-9 signals and initiating an innovative anti-adipogenesis mechanism that suppresses adipose cell maturation and restricts fat storage. It is full of protein, which is used to build up the integrity of the skin.
VITAMIN E
Essential for maintaining the activities of enzymes in the cells and for the formation of red blood cells. Vitamin E has been shown to inhibit skin cancer and aid in the healing of skin ailments. It is a dynamic weapon against premature aging and combating wrinkles by neutralizing free radicals to stop the chain reaction of molecular damage and to protect the skin against oxidation.
ALOE VERA
Hydrating; softening; calming; anti-microbial; anti-inflammatory; moisture regulator. Aloe has remarkable healing properties that can draw and hold oxygen to the skin. The plants composition is similar to that of human blood plasma and seawater and, because its pH is the same as the human skin, it is extremely soothing and protective.
VITAMIN A (RETINYL PALMITATE)
The normalizing vitamin. Essential for increasing skin elasticity and thickening of the epidermis and the dermis. Vitamin A plays an important role in RNA synthesis, which produces new and healthy cells in the skin and the body.
