Cell Renewal Creme Ingredient Information

Co Enzyme Q 10

Co Enzyme Q 10 is also known as Ubiquinone. It is found in the cell which enables mitochondrial activity- by chain of cytochrome, electronic transport and promoting oxygen utilization. It prevents free radical and lypoperoxide formation at the cellular level. It is essential in the body's production of ATP, which is a source of stored energy within the cell. CO enzyme Q-10 functions in our Pure Essentials formulations to prevent signs of aging and wrinkles, as well as reduce damage to the cell caused by free radicals and lipid oxidation.

Hyaluronic Acid is one of the most exciting ingredients on the market today.  Pure Essentials Natural Skincare only uses the 100% vegan approved material. Topically applied hyaluronic acid forms an air permeable layer and penetrates into the dermis, thus boosting the elasticity and hydration of the skin. The protective breathable barrier on the skin locks in moisture which gives the skin a youthful appearance. The cuticle 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 times its weight in water, which 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. It is the ideal ingredient in skin care products as it adjusts to the skin’s need for a moisturizing effect depending on the relative humidity of seasons and climate of an area. Hyaluronic acid also protects the epidermis by scavenging reactive oxygen species generated by ultra violet light which would normally cause sunspots.

MSM-Methylsulfonylmethane

Methylsulfonylmethane has been present in the oceans, soil, and atmosphere of the Earth for eons. MSM is a naturally occurring nutrient found in plants, meats, dairy products, fruits and vegetables. It is therefore found in the normal human diet. Organic sulfur (MSM) occurs naturally in the human body. It actually makes up 5% of the human body and is essential for every organ, cell, tissue, hormone, enzyme, antibody, and function found in the body. This whole food is a beautifying mineral, and contributes to hair, skin, nail, and joint renewal and health. Bio-available, MSM must be continually replenished for optimal youth, nutrition and health. MSM is anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. 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. When used topically, in the form of a cream or lotion, sulfur is helpful in treating skin disorders including, acne, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, and certain fungal infections.

Palmitoyl tripeptide-3

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-3 is a peptide that stimulates the skin's natural production of collagen. This collagen synthesis booster works by activating the release of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) within the epidermis. By actively promoting collagen synthesis palmitoyl tripeptide-3 is effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improving the skin's firmness and moisture retention. Palmioyl Tripeptide-3 is based on a small peptide developed to reduce any type of wrinkles. Clinical trials have shown that Palmioyl Tripeptide-3 is capable of reducing and changing the type and aspect of wrinkles that add years to your appearance. Palmioyl Tripeptide-3 is based on a small peptide developed to reduce any type of wrinkles. Clinical trials have shown that Palmioyl Tripeptide-3a is capable of reducing and changing the type and aspect of wrinkles that add years to your appearance.

Matrixyl 3000

Matrixyl 3000 contains two matrikines, Pal-GHK and Pal-GQPR which act in synergy to restore and maintain skin's youthful appearance. These ingredients act as messengers of cutaneous restructuration and repair. They activate the neosynthesis of extracellular matrix macromecules providing Matrixyl 3000 with a visible anti-wrinkle efficacy. As messenger molecules, matrikines are capable of regulating cell activities. They interact with specific receptors to activate certain genes involved in the process of extracellular matrix renewal and cell proliferation. With age these mechanisms become progressively weaker.

Globularia cordifolia. (Plant Stem Cells)

It grows high in the mountains of central Europe and Turkey. The globe daisy clings to rocks 6,500 feet up barren peaks. It thrives at 22 degrees below zero in chalky soil. It's bombarded by sun, wind, snow, and pests. What's its secret to surviving? It's learned to adapt. It produces cells that live longer. It detoxifies itself naturally. And it regenerates faster. Every day your skin is assaulted by ultraviolet radiation, pollution, smoke, pesticides, and other chemicals. Those toxins accumulate in your skin cells. In no time your skin looks dull and tired.

This exciting new stem cell science can extract the survival mechanisms from Globularia cordifolia. Cutting-edge biotechnology can now give your skin the same defensive tactics used by this rugged daisy." In laboratory studies, when Globularia cordifolia extract was added to face cream, it: helped skin tissue regenerate by preserving 2.3 times as many skin stem cells in the epidermis; detoxified skin cells by removing damaged proteins and other accumulated wastes; and increased the lifespan of skin cells by helping the cell mitochondria produce continuous energy. Globularia Cordifolia extract is a brand new high tech anti-aging ingredient.  The extract is completely safe and natural. It's derived from the globe daisy. It contains no pesticides, no fertilizers, no contaminants, no petrochemicals, and no GMOs.

Silk Protein Amino Acid

Sodium L-Pyrrolidone Carboxylate, Sodium Lactate, LArginine, L-Aspartic Acid, L-Pyrrolidonecarboxylic Acid, Glycine, L-Alanine, L-Serine, L-Valine, L-Proline, L-threonine, L-Isoleucine, L-Histidine, L-Phenylalanine- Amino acids are the basis for all living tissue on Earth. The skin is a living, breathing organ and needs an abundant supply of amino acids to function properly. These natural miracles are the very building blocks needed for the creation of important skin proteins like collagen and elastin. Without amino acids the skin simply cannot function properly.

These selected amino acids are essential to healthy skin. These are exactly the same amino acids found in collagen and elastin. Each amino acid is made from plant sources and is painstakingly purified. These amino acids are then carefully blended to match the optimum amino acid composition in collagen. By utilizing the unique delivery system in this amino acid blend, the skin now has available the amino acids necessary to beautify and repair itself on a daily basis.

Amino acids are the main moisture retention factors in human skin. Topical application of amino acids has shown to dramatically increase moisture content while decreasing visible lines. In addition, amino acids help in the production of collagen and elastin, regulate sebaceous gland activity and decrease discoloration.

Free radicals are unbalanced molecules caused by the sun, environment and pollution. These unbalanced molecules randomly bounce around inside skin cells and cause damage to important cellular tissues including DNA structures. Amino acids are natural free radical scavenges that seek and neutralize free radicals to help prevent the damage done by them.

• L-Proline: Important in maintaining radiant and youthful skin
• L-Histidine: Protects the body from radiation and sun damage. Antioxidant, which neutralizes free radicals helping to prevent skin cell damage.

• L-Phenylalanine: Building blocks for various proteins. It can be converted to L-Tyrosine

Niacinamide - Vitamin B3

Also called niacinamide, vitamin B3 is one of several topical vitamins that has been studied in order to identify its potential benefit to the skin. A lot of ingredients have disappointed dermatologists due to low efficacy in treating various skin problems. However, vitamin B3 has undergone clinical testing and established itself as being useful when applied topically. How does niacinamide work and what benefits can it deliver to improve the appearance of your skin? Let's examine these as well as the clinical studies that have been conducted. How Vitamin B3 helps your skin? There are two important enzymes (NADH and NADPH) that contribute to the production of cellular energy and lipids (responsible for cell growth). With a sufficient supply of both enzymes, your skin creates an effective barrier to external factors that influence the aging process. However, the levels of both NADH and NADPH decline as we grow older. When applied topically, vitamin B3 seems to reduce their rate of decline. Because topical application of niacinamide can help preserve levels of NADH and NADPH, it contributes to the support of the skin's barrier against pollutants and other irritants. As a result, many skin conditions, such as acne, the redness associated with rosacea, and other inflammatory signs can be actively managed. Also, vitamin B3 has shown to be useful for encouraging the production of natural emollients that can help the skin remain hydrated.

Clinical Tests With Niacinamide---While research is ongoing to uncover additional properties of vitamin B3, a number of clinical tests have already been conducted. A study organized by Proctor and Gamble found that not only is niacinamide well-tolerated by all skin types, but also reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation, redness, yellowing, and blotchy spots on the face. A group of 50 women between the ages of 40 and 60 participated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study with randomized testing over a 12-week period. Randomization was done between a moisturizer lacking a niacinamide concentration and one with a 5% concentration. The results showed that the latter topical solution yielded more noticeable effects than the former. Furthermore, a clinical test was conducted by the Department of Life Science at the University of Seoul. The study found that cells which were exposed to vitamin B3 endured less oxidative damage, results that are consistent with an antioxidant. And, studies have also shown that niacinamide may be useful in increasing skin's elasticity as well as in the treatment of wrinkles.

Other Beneficial Ingredients...

Aloe Vera Leaf Juice -Aloe vera juice contains 75 nutrients including 8-essential amino acids and vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C and E. Noted for its healing properties and rejuvenating, soothing and cell regeneration properties.

Vitamin C- Scientific data have shown that Vitamin C will help increase the amount of collagen production in the skin, which serves to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, it helps as an antioxidant in protecting the skin from sun damage. Vitamin C can play a vital role in a regular skin care regimen.

Jojoba Oil- The jojoba tree (pronounced Ho Ho Ba) is cultivated in California, Arizona, Mexico and Israel. It contains protein, minerals and a waxy substance that mimics collagen. Native Americans have been using jojoba for centuries to treat sores, cuts, burns, as a conditioner and for all over skin and hair treatments. It resembles the natural coating our body produces to protect the skin (known as sebum) and keeps it supple. We lose this coating regularly as our skin ages or is exposed to sun, wind, cold, and the environment. Jojoba is perfect for any skin type (it actually helps dry or oily skin). The reason jojoba oil works so well it actually penetrates the skin because it is accepted as sebum

Lavender- Lavender has a host of benefits in skin care; helping the skin heal itself, stimulating cell growth, reducing inflammation, preventing scarring and balancing the production of oil- all perfect when fighting acne and problem skin. It also is an antiseptic, antiviral, and antibacterial.

Pomegranate  -Contains several polyphenols (such as catechins, gallic and ellagic acids) and anthocyanidins (such as delphinidin, cyanidin, and pelargonidin) and its antioxidant activity is said to be higher than that of red wine and green tea.
