Algae is a powerful ingredient that provides nutrients and minerals to the skin to draw out toxins. It works to hydrate skin and is a capable antioxidant too. Algae has been used in skin care for thousands of years and when topically applied it helps to promote radiant skin tones. 

Aloe is an all natural ingredient that contains antioxidants, enzymes, Vitamins A and C and works as an anti-inflammatory that helps to treat acne and dry skin.  Aloe is a great healer for damaged or burned skin and the ability to moisturize dry cells.  It is safe for daily use and helps with anti-aging, boosting cell turnover and reducing redness of skin too.  

Alpha Lipoic Acid is an antioxidant.  It helps to restore skin and give a renewed skin appearance by improving skin texture and tone. Used at a lower concentration this enzyme works great to help restore a youthful look and slow down the aging process. Alpha Lipoic Acid also works as an anti-inflammatory to help reduce pore size. This is a light sensitive ingredient so it usually requires night use for best results.  

Argireline™ is a peptide that helps with prevention of wrinkles in the skin. When it is absorbed into the body and the cream's chemical composition causes the facial muscles to contract with less force helping with the reduction of wrinkles. This peptide can be quite effective, and in some cases with just the use of Argireline alone, users have experienced up to a 30% reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

B5 has been shown to be an effective moisturizer on the skin that enhances the healing process of skin wounds.  

Beta Glucan are polysaccharide sugars which work to soothe and calm irritated skin as well as being an effective anti-aging and skin plumper ingredient. Beta Glucan is high in antioxidants that help protect against oxidative stress that can cause premature aging. By neutralizing free radicals Beta Glucan helps us to retain our youthful looks. Studies have shown Beta Glucan to be effective at reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Beta Glucan is a multiple functional ingredient that helps with increasing moisture, helps sooth skin and has anti-aging properties by forming an undetectable film which helps protect skin from environment stresses. Beta Glucan is not new and has been around for at least 50 years and has been the subject of numerous studies on how it helps to heal skin in a medical community. It is also known for having an immunity boosting property too. 

Boswellia Serrata is extracted from the serrata tree , the extract has been studied and proven to reduce inflammation and protect skin cellular breakdown. The inflammation harms the skin by causing degradation of collagen and increases the MMP (matrix metalloproteinases) levels.  This extract also has proprieties to help firm skin, increase elastin and help minimize wrinkles.    

Citrustem™ is made from orange stem cells and works by organizing the inner structure of the skin for a younger appearance. In facial formulations, it organizes and re-densifies the dermis structure, repairs the extracellular matrix, and improves cellular adhesion. The result is skin that recovers the elasticity it had nearly a decade ago with a softer and more velvety complexion plus a younger appearance.  Stem cells are undifferentiated cells found in all multi-cellular organisms. In plants, stem cells are capable of regenerating the entire plant.  

Chrysin is a flavanoid, derived from plants, that is well document for having anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic capabilities. This flavanoid is also know for reducing the appearance of skin discoloration as well as being an antioxidant.  

Collagen is a protein that is a major component of connective tissues in our skin. It is responsible for providing your skin with structure.  This protein helps to keep your skin firm and wrinkle free when high amounts are present. When we are young, our bodies have high levels of collagen but as we age our collagen levels decline. As our collagen levels decline our skin becomes wrinkled as the structure is compromised and there is not enough collagen to maintain skin firmness. Replenishing collagen is the key to helping your skin keep it's young appearance and reduce wrinkles.  Another well known benefit of collagen in skin care is it's ability to promote vibrant and glowing skin.  

Before and after collagen replenishment.

Collaxyl™ is a clinically proven preservative free ingredient that helps to visibly reduce the length and depth of wrinkles.  It has also been shown to be highly effective in the reduction of acne scars.

Copper Tripeptide-1 is naturally occurring in the body, it is composed of the amino acids Glycyl-histidyl-lysine, which spontaneously bind to copper, also known as GHK Cu. Copper Tripeptide-1 has many benefits within the human body such as the production of glycosaminoglycans, such as hyaluronic acid, which helps in the reduction of wrinkles.  Copper peptide also helps to remove damaged collagen. 

Decorinyl® is a tetrapeptide that helps to regulate fibrillogenesis and the growth of collagen fibrills causing improved skin cohesion for a more flexible and resilient appearance. This ingredient helps the skin to regain suppleness, increased tone and helps mature skin to look younger. 

DERMAXYL™ is a peptide that smooths out wrinkles while strengthening the skin’s natural barrier function. Its activity is based on peptide technology and tilizes a Matrikine- Ceramide 2 concept to combat the signs of aging.  75% of the volunteers stated that the product smoothes the skin, 52% observed a decrease in wrinkles and crow's feet.

DMAE is an amazing nutrient that helps to extend the life of cells by inhibiting the cross linking of proteins this gives the skin a tone and firm appearance.  DMAE offers anti-aging ability by helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, reduce dark circles under the eyes and improve sagging skin by the neck line and jawline.  The firm appearance that DMAE provides takes about 20 minutes to occur and usually wears off by the end of the day. DMAE has become very popular as a result of Dr. Nicholas Perricone, M.D.'s top-selling book, The Wrinkle Cure, in which he promotes supplementing with DMAE as a treatment for reducing wrinkles. When applied to the skin DMAE stimulates acetylcholine release which triggers a response in the muscles of the face. This activity creates a firmer facial tone and less sagging. 

EGF is a polypeptide that has come to the beauty market via the medical industry. EGF was developed to help speed wound recovery and does this by stimulating skin growth at a cellular level and is suspected to increase collagen levels too. In some cases EGF has had an effect on the reduction of the appearance of acne scars. 

Eyeliss™ contains three peptides, Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone, Dipeptide Valyl-Tryptophane and Lipopeptide Pal-GQPR. Clinical studies have shown it to be very effective in reducing under eye puffiness, dark circles and bags and in tests, 70% of users showed a vast improvement in less than 2 months.

• Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone is a natural ingredient derived from flavonoid hesperidin found in citrus fruits like grapefruit and oranges. This rather newly discovered ingredient helps to strengthen capillaries and veins as well to improve lymphatic drainage and circulations which tones the delicate under eye area.
• Dipeptide Valyl-Tryptophane is a peptide that promotes the drainage of fluid that collects under the eye creating bags and puffiness.
• Lipopeptide Pal-GQPR is another peptide that decreases inflammation, improves skin elasticity and firmness, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Haloxyl™ is is a synthetic ingredient made to reduce dark circles under the eyes and studies have shown an improvement between 19% and up to 45%. In some cases in the complete reduction of dark circles has been accomplished.  This product is specifically targeted to treat one of the most chronic under eye issues, dark eye circles.  

During extensive experiments of the most effective treatments of this specific indication, scientist found that the association of two matrikines: Pal-GHK and Pal-GQPR with N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and a flavinoid: Chrysin was the most effective combination to eliminate dark circles and inflammation. During testing large percentages of volunteers displayed reduction in all b-, b+, a-, and a+ color ranges. Pal-GHK and Pal-GQPR reinforce firmness and tone of the eye area. Chrysin and N-hydroxysuccinimide activate the elimination of blood originated pigments responsible for dark circle color and local inflammation.

After 30 days of treatment, HILURLIP™ proved to increase the lip volume by 18% while the placebo formulation produced no effect on the lips, also improves skin hydration only 1 hour after application, immediate moisture increase of 32%, it's so easy to have the healthy lips!

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring acid found in the extracellular matrix of human tissue. Topically applied, hyaluronic acid forms an air permeable layer and penetrates into the dermis thus boosting the elasticity by affecting the collagen levels and increasing hydration of the skin.

The protective breathable barrier on the skin locks in moisture which gives the skin a youthful appearance.  The cuticular layer of the skin normally contains 10-20% water, however as we age it can drop to below 10%.  Hyaluronic acid comes to the rescue with its unique ability to hold more than 1000 ml of water per gram. This is a key factor in allowing the skin to retain more water.  Amazingly, hyaluronic acid adjusts its moisture absorption based on the relative humidity in the air.  Hyaluronic acid also protects the epidermis by scavenging reactive oxygen species generated by ultra violet light which would normally cause sunspots.  Hyaluronic Acid is one of the most exciting ingredients on the market today and was discovered in 1934 and has been used in personal care and wound healing ever since. Bellahut only uses hyaluronic acid derived from non-animal sources. 
 

JoJoBa Oil  is an oil that closely resembles sebum, a waxy substance that is produced by our skin glands.  This oil is all natural and when placed on the skin can act as a barrier holding in moisture.

Matrixyl S6 is the latest addition to the Matrixyl family of peptides.  This peptide focuses on stimulation of six major contents of the skin. Collagen I, Collagen III, Collagen IV, Fibronectin, Hyaluronic Acid and Laminin-5.  Studies have shown collagen type I had increased by 105%, collagen type III had increased by 104% and collagen type IV had increased by 42%.  When applied as a crows feet treatment studies have shown a reduction in wrinkles by over 16% and when applied as a treatment for wrinkles on the forehead studies have shown a reduction in wrinkles by 32%. The best thing is that this peptide treats the skin differently than Matrixyl 3000™ and Matrixyl™ so they can be used with each other in order to create very effective wrinkle fighting creams, serums and other skin care products.

MSM is found in all living organisms and in the human body it acts as glue to hold together amino acids. MSM feeds the formation of collagen and elastin while preventing and reducing cross-linking between cells which is the primary cause of wrinkles and scar tissue.   We've seen reports of MSM eliminating wrinkles, brown spots, spider veins and being an effective acne fighter and acne scar reducer. MSM has been used to help with the repair of scar tissue for burn victims. Many report relief from allergies after using MSM too. Other reports have indicated that MSM will remove parasites from the body, and help the body to detoxify itself. 

Niacinamide / Viamin B3 helps protecting the skin's immune function and gently suppresses transfer of melanosome packets from the melanocyte to the keratinocyte while regulating excessive sebum output without leaving skin feeling dry or stripped. Niacinamide also increases the rate of skin exfoliation and increases moisture barrier repair. Studies have shown it to be useful in increasing synthesis of collagen and lipids, inhibiting the transfer of melanosomes and decreasing inflammation.  

Pepha®Tight has been referred as a liquid face lift by many. This formulation has algae and contains pullulan which is a film former, which is water soluble, that gives this ingredient the ability to form a thin film over the skin creating an instant firming effect. Pepha®Tight also contains polysacharides which help accelerate the oxygenation of the skin, in turn, this helps cellular turnover and the building of collagen and elastin. More collagen means less wrinkles.

Tripeptide-5 ( Palmitoyl tripeptide-5, aka Syn-coll ) is a highly bioactive, deeply skin penetrating peptide (palmitoyl tripeptide-5) able to activate tissue growth factor (TGF-beta) that stimulates collagen synthesis in the skin.  It can actively iron out wrinkles is good for skin firming and has great moisturizing properties.  It works great on stretch marks and has been clinically proven to be effective and safe and in some cases a good alternative to collagen injections.

Tripeptide-29 is a chain of amino acids that helps to improve uneven texture in the skin and helps to reverse the appearance of dehydration in the skin. This synthetic peptide consisting of glycine, proline and hydroxyproline is also known to increase fibroblast activity for collagen I synthesis by 400%. 

TRYLAGEN® is a combination of active peptides and proteins that can fight the processes that affect the quantity and quality of collagen as we age. It acts on collagen via 3 main functions:

• Collagen boosting  During aging, the synthesis of collagen gradually declines. The active ingredients in TRYLAGEN® boost the synthesis of collagen types I, III and IV, helping to compensate for our decreased production as we age.
• Collagen organization  The process of fibrillogenesis results in the formation of collagen bundles that are responsible for the strength and resiliency of the skin. TRYLAGEN® controls collagen fibril dimensions by providing a uniformed arrangement to their diameter and spacing them regularly. This provides a better cohesion and stabilization of collagen fibers, and gives suppleness to the skin.
• Collagen protection  After a certain age the degradation of collagen speeds up, due to an increase in MMP (matrix metalloproteinases) levels. Collagenases, a specific type of MMP, cleave fibrillar collagen into smaller fragments, which are then susceptible to further proteolysis. TRYLAGEN® inhibits the production of human MMP-2 and MMP-3, therefore avoiding excessive collagen damage in aged skin. Its anti-collagenase activity protects collagen from degradation.

Vitamin B5  is effective at counteracting the dryness that occurs in aging skin and increases the moisture retention capacity of the skin which allows dry skin to stay supple and elastic longer. It is anti-inflammatory and stimulates skin regeneration. Niacinamide and Panthenol improve the condition of the skin's moisture barrier, a function considered by dermatologists as critical to healthy skin.

Vitamin E is known for helping to reduce the appearance of scars. Another role of Vitamin E in skin care is primarily to work as an antioxidant but is also works to  soften skin as well. Vitamin E also helps to eliminate free radicals and that helps to build a better level of collagen in the skin.
