ALPINE ROSE EXTRACT

Handpicked from the Swiss Alps, Alpine roses grow at high altitudes, where they have evolved to protect themselves from dehydration, free radical damage, and pathogens of their unique environment. Alpine rose extract offers these same protective benefits and has been shown to increase the vitality and integrity of epidermal cells to optimize skin cell function.

ALPINE ROSE EXTRACT IN SKINCARE

When applied topically, it increases the skin’s own cell vitality, boosts epidermal regeneration for a healthier skin barrier, and reduces signs of aging by promoting a more vital, youthful-looking appearance. It has also been shown to be effective at smoothing out crow’s feet and other common signs of aging around the delicate eye area.

In addition to boosting cell activity and nourishing the skin’s natural protective barrier, Alpine rose extract is a powerful antioxidant that protects against oxidative stress brought on by climate changes and other environmental stressors. It soothes inflammation and irritation to help repair the skin’s natural protective barrier while fighting free radical damage at the cellular level, making it an ideal ingredient for all skin types.

EDELWEISS EXTRACT

A rare and protected flower, Edelweiss is the symbol of the Swiss Alps, whose botanical name derives from the Greek term for “lion’s foot,” a reference to its unique and downy texture.

Edelweiss contains a rich profile of phytochemicals and antioxidants, including tannins, proteins, glycosides, and flavonoids. However, most notable is its high antioxidant content, which has been shown to offer twice the power of vitamin C in protecting against UV exposure and other environmental damage.

In addition to being a potent antioxidant, Edelweiss extract is also antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory and helps soothe inflammation and irritation. When applied topically, it protects against dark spots and age spots from sun exposure; it deeply moisturizes and hydrates to soothe and protect the skin barrier and helps reverse signs of aging brought on by free radical damage.

RASPBERRY EXTRACT

Harvested from the leaves, seeds, and berries of the raspberry plant, the raspberry extract is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, including vitamin C, beta-carotene, glutathione, quercetin, resveratrol, ferulic acid, and vitamin E. It offers powerful regenerative benefits and boosts skin cell renewal to help reverse signs of aging and protect against future skin damage, especially photodamage from sun exposure. Raspberry extract is also rich in antioxidants and can suppress the enzymes responsible for excess melanin production that contributes to uneven skin tone.

RASPBERRY EXTRACT IN SKINCARE

Raspberry extract is especially beneficial thanks to its ability to reduce inflammation and redness resulting from UV exposure to provide a soothing effect to the skin. In-vitro studies show that raspberry extract immediately decrease redness by reducing existing erythema (skin redness) from UV exposure and protect against long-term damage by preventing its formation when regularly applied topically.
