YERBALUXE®-PEARL - Discover the secret of skin’s oxygen revival

YERBALUXE®-PEARL energises and revitalises your skin, swiftly enhancing its appearance, whether you are male or female, young or mature, with Caucasian or Asian skin. It is derived from upcycled mate dust, a by-product of mate tea production, and is rich in caffeine and powerful antioxidants.

Clinical studies have demonstrated that YERBALUXE®-PEARL enhances microcirculation and energises the skin by elevating oxygen levels, even reducing skin reddening. YERBALUXE®-PEARL rapidly fortifies the skin barrier, hydrates the skin, and imparts a natural, healthy glow. Addition ally, it improves skin firmness and elasticity and diminishes the appearance of wrinkles, particularly in the crow’s feet area. The product was tested on a Caucasian study panel, including some African subjects for long-term efficacy, and on a Chinese panel for instant and short-term efficacy.

SCALPINIST®-SENSO - Discover the secret of oily scalp relief

SCALPINIST®-SENSO is a unique active ingredient designed for sensitive-oily scalp. Its novel and holistic approach aims to alleviate scalp discomfort within two weeks by restoring balance to the disturbed micro biome and reducing scalp sebum through a simple rinse-off application. It is obtained by extracting Maclura cochinchinensis leaves, rich in prenylated bioflavonoids.

Clinical rinse-off studies have shown that SCALPINIST®-SENSO significantly reduces scalp sebum and slows the re-greasing of the scalp after washing. Moreover, the active restores scalp balance by alleviating feelings of discomfort. By decreasing sebum production, SCALPINIST®-SENSO directly influences the scalp microbiota, restoring its balance

ILLUMISCIN®-GLOW - Discover the secret of superior skin luminosity for all skin types

ILLUMISCIN®-GLOW provides a bright and even skin complexion for consumers around the globe, regardless of ethnicity or gender. Hordatines, obtained from upcycled brewers’ barley sprouts, were identified by AI as brand-new inhibitors of tyrosinase, a key modulator of our skin tone.

In-vitro studies have shown that ILLUMISCIN®-GLOW inhibits tyrosinase and blocks melanin synthesis. It does so by taking advantage of hordatines, a novel class of tyrosinase inhibitors. Hordatines showed superior binding to human tyrosinase as determined by molecular docking experiments using AI technology. In-silico analysis has shown that hordatines have better binding capabilities than Thiamidol® , kojic acid, arbutin, ascorbic acid and other commonly used tyrosinase inhibitors.
