Overview The Moisturizing Complex is an ultra-hydrating, anti-aging formula that contains a broad spectrum of botanical oils and antioxidant phytonutrients. This moisturizing formula is rich in the full Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 Essential Fatty Acid spectrum, and contains anti-aging amino-peptides to firm facial structures while reversing the appearance of deeper wrinkles. This soothing formula is very effective at calming inflammation in the skin and leaves a youthful, dewy finish immediately upon application. This pearlescent cream is infused with lightly aromatic botanicals that provide natural floral overtones and can be applied at any time either alone or over our active serums. It is especially suggested as an evening-therapy for dry, sensitive, and mature skin. Formula Mechanisms Phytolipid Nutriplex Includes several free radical neutralizers that work synergistically to reverse age related damage in the skin. Free Radical Defense From Seed Oils This formula contains an immensely wide spectrum of antioxidant phytonutrients and anti-inflammatory compounds delivered via the nutritive oils of Grape Seed (containing proanthocyanidin polyphenols and resveratrol phytoalexins), Blueberry Seed (containing anthocyanins, flavonols, and tannins), Pomegranate Seed (containing punicalagin tannins and catechin polphenols), and Cranberry Seed (containing cyanidins and quercetin). Combined with the natural phospholipid liposome delivery system in this formula these antioxidant-rich oils penetrate deeply into the skin to deliver their active phytonutrients directly to cells. Antioxidant Protection From Fruit Oil – This formula contains a unique variety of phytonutrients from the oils of antioxidant-packed fruits. These beneficial compounds are delivered via the nutritive oils of Olive Fruit (containing oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol polyphenols), Acai Berry (containg procyanidin polyphenols and several flavonoid varieties) and Avocado Oil (rich in vitamin E and beta-sitosterol phytosterols). Anti-Inflammatory The calming, anti-inflammatory oils and extracts in this formula are particularly beneficial for those with eczema, rosacea, and other ultra-sensitive skin conditions as these ingredients help reduce irritation and redness. Pro-Firm Contains a proprietary combination of anti-aging peptides and organic extracts that provide anti-wrinkle benefits to the skin in addition to dramatically increasing hydration. Collagen-Enhancing To support and enhance collagen in the skin this formula contains Hydroxyproline Anti-Aging Amino-Peptides that have a lipophilic nature allowing them to combine with the nutritive oils for deeper skin penetration, stimulating the development of new collagen fibers through a uniquely different mechanism than aqueous treatment serums. Multi-Faceted Skin Firming The Date Palm Seed Extract in this product provides a multi-faceted approach to the reversal of skin aging through several different phytocompounds. This single extract includes: phytosterols that improve the barrier function of the skin, isoflavones that boost metabolic activity lost from hormonal deficiencies, ursolic acid that has anti-cancer properties, policosanols that enhance the skin's neuro-immune system, vitamin E tocotrienols that have powerful antioxidant properties, and vitamin A that has a regenerating effect in the skin. In clinical tests the phytosteroid properties of this extract outperformed even DHEA (a natural hormone in the body that declines with age) in anti-aging/anti-wrinkle effects. Moisturplex Contains a unique combination of lipohilic (having an oil affinity) and hydrophilic (having a water affinity) moisturizers and essential fatty acids that maximally nourish and hydrate the skin throughout the day. Lipophilic Ultra-Moisturizing This nutritive cream contains a powerful infusion of Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 Essential Fatty Acids from the oils of Hemp Seed and Flax Seed as well as superior moisturizing from Jojoba Oil (with a lipid composition amazingly similar to human skin sebum), Avocado Oil (rich in sterolins and with a high oleic content similar to olive oil), and Squalane (which is extracted from olive oil and naturally present in high amounts in young skin). These moisturizing oils form a lipophilic barrier against water loss and plump epidermal structures to impart a dewy, youthful finish upon application. Hydrophilic Ultra-Hydrating While this formula’s botanical oils seal in moisture, we have also included hydrophilic (water-binding) ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium PCA that are both natural constituents of human skin (and the main factors that keep young skin so effortlessly hydrated and naturally plump). Combining such a high concentration of both lipophilic and hydrophilic moisturizers into one formula creates a more complete spectrum of hydration that lasts for several hours.
