DHEA is a hormone precursor
found in many organs, including skin, which will ultimately be converted into
testosterone, estrone, and estradiol (1).*
Studies indicate men and women produce less DHEA as they age,
thereby decreasing the amount available to the epidermis (outer layer of skin).
This ultimately leads to diminished skin elasticity, firmness and moisture
content (2,3).*
Current work has revealed the existence of the enzyme systems required for
normal biochemical conversion and regulation of epidermal estrogens. This is a
state of the art, non-greasy, rapidly absorbed moisturizing cream that is quick
drying and provides the skin with essential re-hydrating components.
Goldzieher reported increases in epidermis
thickness along with a more orderly cell arrangement, elastic fibrils, capillary
beds and water content when skin was exposed to topical estrogens (5).*
Blau and Kanof noticed similar effects with the estrogen precursor pregnenolone(4).*
Normal cellular metabolism, ultraviolet exposure (UV-A and UV-B), chemical
solvents and environmental toxins have been shown to produce skin damaging free
radicals. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), a unique fat and water-soluble antioxidant
coupled with a patented liposomal preparation containing vitamin C, vitamin E (Oxysomes™).
This liposomal preparation of proanthocyanidins extracted from grape seeds
produce a powerful line-up against the harmful free radicals.
Alpha-lipoic
acid (ALA) is a potent thiol antioxidant that has shown the potential to protect
the skin (10).* The distinctive structure of ALA and liposomes
provides enhanced transport across skin layers and cell membranes, while their
water and lipid solubility allows effective free radical quenching both inside
and outside the cell. This symbiotic relationship is further enhanced by ALA’s
ability to regenerate glutathione (6)*
and various
antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E, which have been shown to protect
against skin damage (9)*, making for the ultimate in free radical
eradication.
Furthering this “high-tech” formula is the inclusion of Borage
Oil via a patented surfactant-free micro-emulsion chosen as the base of this
cream. With patented European compounds, this formula was designed to minimize
water loss and enhance quick drying without any noticeable oiliness, residue or
“tackiness”.
A special Aloe Vera concentrate was added
because of its well-known ability to accelerate epidermal skin regeneration
(6,7).
This moisturizing cream contains a highly purified grape seed extract
containing a 95% oligomeric proanthocyanidin complex that has undergone several
laboratory tests to validate its ability to protect the skin from free radical
damage. This combination helps restore damaged collagen and elastin to its most
resilient functional form (8). Collagen is the primary component of the
inside layer of skin (dermis) while elastin gives the skin its strength,
smoothness and elasticity.
