PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT: The Mask
Today we are going to do a deep dive into one of our most popular products; our Revitalizing Face Mask. It is an innovative treatment mask that you can do at home in your bathroom or, if you are a skin care professional, you can offer your clients as a service. This mask contains pluripotent stem cell extract, 24K Gold, active botanicals, and peptides designed to support your skin’s health and in this article we are going to go over each of those ingredients so you can fully understand why this carefully formulated mask is truly the Gold Standard when it comes to age-management.
Hydrolyzed Placenta Extract
Placental extracts are shown to enhance the proliferation of fibroblasts and cord blood cells in vitro. The mechanism of action of placental extracts in wound healing is associated with the increase of TGF-β (transforming growth factor-beta) in the early phase of regeneration.
24K Gold
24k Gold helps your skin retain and absorb the other ingredients in the product. Gold has been shown to specifically promote collagen III. Collagen III is found in fast-growing tissues, especially in early stages of wound repair. It is typically replaced later by type I collagen which is the most common type of collagen found in our bodies.
Also, gold has been shown to promote collagen III production. Collagen III is found in fast-growing tissue, especially in the early stages of wound repair.
COQ10
CoQ10, or Coenzyme Q10, is full of antioxidant properties that protect the skin from environmental stressors, energizes the skin, and helps your skin retain moisture. In addition to its ability to help even out skin tone, it helps reduce dullness and tightens the skin.
Hydrolyzed Collagen
Hydrolyzed collagen (HC) is a group of peptides with low molecular weight that has excellent biocompatibility and is biodegradable. It has moisturizing and antioxidant properties. It assists structural bonds in the epidermis and collagen and elastin formation in the dermis. HC also prevents TEWL and premature aging such as fine lines and wrinkles.
Glycerin
As a humectant, glycerin works to moisturize the skin by drawing water from the air into the skin’s outer layer. It also forms a protective layer that helps prevent moisture loss.
Rose Extract
Contains gentianin as well as tannin compounds, which have a toning effect on the skin – promoting firmness.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring polysaccharide (carbohydrate) in the human body that keeps skin plump and hydrated.
Kojic Acid
Kojic acid is made from several different types of fungi. It is safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types and promotes a brighter, more even skin tone.
Grape Seed Oil
High in linoleic acid, and safe for acne-prone skin, grape seed oil has anti-inflammatory properties and contains the flavonoid oligomeric procyanidin, which helps support collagen repair.
Plum Extract
Reinforces antioxidant defense to protect skin against oxidative stress, which improves skin radiance.
Arbutin (Bearberry Extract)
Blocks tyrosinase to effectively lighten discoloration and age spots on the skin. Tyrosinase controls the production of melanin in the body; when tyrosinase oxidizes, age spots and pigmentation occur in the skin.
Vitamin A (Retinol)
Boosts collagen production to treat wrinkles and prevent fine lines, speeds cellular turnover to even discoloration and brighten skin tone, and unclogs pores, making them appear smaller and reducing acne.
Vitamin C
Promotes collagen synthesis, which is essential for skin health and wound healing.
