To counteract skin dehydration, postbiotics derived from controlled biofermented yeast extract stimulate the synthesis of lipids in the epidermis, thereby improving the barrier function and strengthening the skin's defenses. In doing so, they restore skin balance and help break the vicious cycle of dry skin and imbalanced skin flora without damaging the skin flora.
Niacinamide is a vitamin B3 derivative that supports the skin's own collagen synthesis, strengthens the skin barrier, stimulates regeneration, and counteracts fine lines and wrinkles. At the same time, it regulates sebum production, makes enlarged pores appear smaller, and ensures an even complexion.
The extract, obtained from a wild pistachio tree on the Greek island of Chios, was widely used as a medicinal remedy in ancient times and was used to combat skin inflammation. It supports sebum regulation and combats unwanted shine, restoring the skin's natural balance. Thanks to its astringent effect, it also reduces impurities and minimizes visible pores, giving the skin an overall smoother and more matte appearance.
Hamamelis, also known as witch hazel, is also a medicinal plant. Its tannins are crucial for wound healing due to their astringent and anti-inflammatory properties. The extract obtained from witch hazel improves the appearance of dry skin and helps promote the healing of superficial skin irritations and restores skin suppleness.
Sage extract is best known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Due to its high calcium and vitamin A content, it is said to have cell-renewing and circulation-stimulating properties, thus counteracting fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Furthermore, sage has been praised for centuries for its antiseptic properties. The ursolic acid responsible for this effect ensures thorough cleansing of the skin.
The rosemary oil it contains is particularly valued for its nutritional content and antioxidant effects. It acts as a shield against oxidative stress caused by negative environmental influences and helps fight free radical damage in the skin.
Thanks to its moisturizing properties, glycerin makes the skin appear smoother and softer. The intense and lasting hydration of the skin reduces dryness and fine lines, giving the complexion an instantly revitalized and plump appearance. At the same time, a protective barrier is formed on the skin's surface to protect the skin from external influences and reduce moisture loss.
