#4 The Crème

The Promise

– Natural barrier integrity is strengthened
– Skin’s outermost layer is fortified, helping to main and augment moisture levels
– Firmness is enhanced as hydration levels are intensified
– Soothes and calms skin to reduce skin sensitivity
– Skin appears naturally dewy and radiant

The Ritual

Smooth gently over face, neck, décolletage and backs of hands.

The Research

A perfectly balanced array of specialised bioactive lipids, including ceramides, cholesterol and triglycerides, form a vital component of the skin’s barrier function as part of the Stratum Corneum, the skin’s outermost layer.As a dynamic, interactive interface between the skin and the outside world, these ‘living lipids’ are also crucial in modulating immune responses and empowering cell-to-cell communication.Topical treatment with a precise combination and ratio of lipids, vitamins and proteins can alleviate skin sensitivity and dryness by replenishing and stabilising the barrier function of the Stratum Corneum, which diminishes throughout life due to natural ageing and environmental damage.

The Integrity Actives

Australian Botanicals have the ability to help soothe and calm skin.
A Multi-Vitamin Complex (Vit A, B, C, D + E) supplements endogenous reserves, reinforcing antioxidant rejuvenation and cultivating a more luminous complexion.
Squalane is a powerful antioxidant and bio-mimetic lipid. Its affinity for the intercellular matrix enables the delivery of rejuvenating benefits to the skin’s deeper layers.
Oligopeptide-1 is a protein fraction that activates connective tissue synthesis in the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating the regeneration of new cells to reveal a more radiant complexion.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-37 helps to restructure the architecture of the extracellular matrix and increase hydration by preventing Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL). Barrier function is immediately restored as skin integrity is reinforced.
Skin Identical Ceramide Complex replenishes the skin’s intercellular matrix to fortify barrier function and integrity while encouraging cell-to-cell-communication.
Amino Acids strengthen skin integrity, improving hydration and fortifying the skin’s outermost protective layers.
