Anti-Ageing, Health and Wellbeing

Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide naturally found in the human body, particularly in the skin. With the ability to retain water for up to 1,000 times its weight, HA gives skin its compactness, firmness and elasticity. Skin's hyaluronic acid content declines with age, and therefore it is crucial to restore it.

Ferulic acid is a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-cancer properties. Studies showed that ferulic acid accelerates skin regeneration and protects collagen, elastin, fibroblasts and other skin components from degradation. It helps prevent photoageing and environmental damage.

Studies showed that kahai oil rejuvenates the skin, prevent premature ageing, prevents UV-induced skin damage, nourishes and restores skin barrier. A four week clinical trial showed that kahai oil reduces the appearance of wrinkles by 45% while also improves skin firmness, smoothness and elasticity.

24K nano gold is 99.99% pure gold with a particle size between 0.000000001 and 0.0000001. Nano gold skincare provides superior results with the ability to reach and rejuvenate cells in the deeper layers of the skin. Nano gold strengthens skin matrix by preventing damage to collagen, elastin and other skin components.

Resveratrol is a polyphenol naturally found in the skin of red grapes, berries, tomatoes and nuts. It is incorporated in skincare products for its antioxidant and anti-ageing effects. There are 2 forms of resveratrol, cis-resveratrol and trans-resveratrol. Trans-resveratrol is the most active and effective resveratrol.

Essential oil is a highly concentrated plant extract. Studies showed that some essential oils are potent anti-wrinkle substances due to their antioxidative, anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating properties with rose, coriander, blue chamomile, frankincense and lavender essential oils as the 5 best anti-wrinkle oils.

Ageing happens because our skin can no longer renew and replace all the damaged cells. Studies showed that these 7 skincare ingredients are best at reversing the signs of ageing: n-acetyl glucosamine, resveratrol, coenzyme Q10, 24-karat colloidal gold peptide, niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate and bakuchiol.

As one of the superantioxidants, coenzyme Q10 protects the skin against free radical and environmental damage. It increases the skin's ability to rejuvenate, create new cells and repair itself. Studies showed that coenzyme Q10 works synergistically with vitamin E to prevent and reduce the signs of ageing in the skin.

Colloidal gold has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and wound healing properties. It neutralises free radicals and strengthens skin's defense against environmental damage. Colloidal gold slows down skin ageing, releases epidermal growth factor (EGF), protects skin collagen and elastin from degradation.

The skin cells turnover rate varies individually and age plays a major role. In babies, the skin renews itself every 14 days. In teenagers, this process takes about 28 days. In adults, it takes between 28 and 42 days. In those age 50 and older, the skin renewal process can take up to 84 days.

N-acetyl glucosamine is a nano peptide extracted from the outer shells of shellfish. Studies showed many benefits of n-acetyl glucosamine for the skin from enhancing skin health to diminishing dark spots and signs of ageing. It boosts skin's hyaluronic acid production by 107% and skin's collagen synthesis by 33%.

There are various forms of vitamin C commonly used in skincare products including ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl palmitate, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, glyceryl ascorbate and ascorbyl glucoside. It is important to know which one is the most potent vitamin C.
