When it comes to anti-aging care, the first thing that comes to mind on the components - is retinol, hyaluronic acid or collagen. They are the most "hyped" of all moisturizers. But also work in anti-age care is excellent, so that his popularity to justify.
However, there are other components, which have basically introduced Asian moisturizing and anti-aging agents. Some of them are very few people's lips, and the rest - are regarded as exclusive. Nevertheless, I believe that each of us in this life is to get to know them :-)
1. Phyto stem cells of grapes
It is a natural component which comprises decent concentration of antioxidants. And as we know, antioxidants protect our cells from free radicals destroy them.
Cosmetics, which contains phyto stem cells, will cope well with the restoration and renewal of the skin. We can safely say that this is a serious competitor to vitamin C, to which some are allergic.
Phyto stem cells of red grapes - real fighters with ultraviolet light, so if you care about the topic of photoaging, you should look to the media with this component.
A bit about the tediousness plant phyto stem cells. These are the cells which are located in areas of active growth of plants. For example, in the kidney, shoots or root tips. It is in these areas there is a mad regeneration of plant cells, and it would be logical to assume that such a mechanism would help to activate self-healing and reproduction of our cells. On this for several years, scientists are scratching their heads, experimenting, and made the first success: 10 years ago in the laboratory was isolated extract of plant stem cells. In general, the right to call them meristematic cells, but marketers have decided that "tastes better" for the consumer is to label stem cells.
Dedicated scientists extract dermal fibroblasts activates activity - these are the cells that form collagen. That's such an interesting chain run rejuvenation at the cellular level. The most important thing in all this - is that the plant phyto stem cells does not change our cells, they only help them to function normally and actively share.
2. horse fat
Animal fat in its structure is closer to us than the plant, so it is easier to digest.
In horse fat (it is called a horse oil) A huge amount of fatty acids that work in contact with our skin in several ways: deep penetrating (up to dermis), moisturize and make the epidermis softer form a protective film that will not evaporate moisture and smoothes the bumps on skin. The horse's fat in addition there are vitamins A and E and amino acids. Why the horse? It turned out that of all animal fats its composition closer to the human fat secretion. This suggests that the horse fat will be absorbed by the skin better than others.
In our cosmetic market such component it appeared relatively recently, but in Asian countries have long been aware of it and use in wound healing.
For horses you can not worry: they do not kill for the sake of the fat, and spend a loyal liposuction.
3. Proteins spider web
It is also called spider silk. Spiders weave amazing stuff: it is strong, elastic, and the web in general is not terrible nor wind, nor rain. This material long been interested in genetic engineering, and only in 2013, the Germans managed to develop in laboratory conditions, a protein that is used in weaving spiders webs.
The most interesting of all the material webs - the silkworm. It produces two types of protein:
1) fibroin - water-soluble proteins secreted by the silkworm, this is the most natural silk;
2) sericin - protein "glue" that connects a good thread webs between them.
Spider web protein produced by the bacterium Escherichia coli in which genes of spiders have been introduced. Such technology allows for trivial protein infinite, i.e. reasonably be in all future cosmetic products with a protein to make web cheap, because the cost of the component itself will fall from every year.
What is it in cosmetics? But the fact that these proteins released by spiders, more than 20 amino acids that work effectively with Skin: stimulate cell regeneration, nourish the skin, making it supple and align structure hair. And by the way, of all the five presented in my article components is a protein spider web work more effectively with elastin.
4. crocodile fat
But this is really an exclusive component "highlight" of the Australian cosmetics, which is highly valued in the world. Crocodiles are able to dwell in places where just everything is teeming with harmful bacteria. In addition, they are very fast wounds heal. Crocodile blood plasma are now being carefully studied by Australian scientists, they say that soon will create a "unique" antibiotic with him.
Unfortunately, to get fat crocodile reptiles have to score. With only one crocodile obtained 800 g of a fermented and purified fat. As you have seen, the component is quite expensive, and cosmetics with it can not be cheap. Crocodile fat even before the creation of the first shampoo actively used in African traditional medicine: treat ulcers, skin diseases and wounds. To note, in the African countries to receive a cut - it is very dangerous, because of the climatic conditions of the wound quickly rots.
In cosmetology same crocodile fat very well stuck. I would say that this is the king of all the components.
Firstly, in the fat of crocodiles as much omega 3-6-9 acids, how many do not boast any of the fish. Since our body can not itself produce omega-acids, such composition has crocodile fat is of interest, since omega-3,6 and 9 acid - strong men with age-related changes. Age aging - a phenomenon that free radicals and photoaging some were not, it is very difficult to fight with him.
Secondly, lipids crocodile fat instantly nourish and moisturize the skin. And they do it in the deep layers of the skin. Thirdly, peptides crocodile fat eliminate minor damage to the skin (it is a small scar and post-acne).
5. swallow's Nest
The extract of swallow nest is rich in antioxidants, polysaccharides and minerals. It works very well in terms of skin elasticity. Protein swallow nest works similarly to proteins of algae and fish fins. Simply put, there's a whole storehouse of hyaluronic acid and betaine.
An extract of swallow's nest I will have a separate article, because this component is now gaining popularity and will soon be in the same place with hyaluronic acid :-)
Put a "thumbs up" if you want more interesting materials for self-care and skin of the face!
