Samphira Oil Bioactive – as Efficient as Retinol, but without the Risks

(available in the SOFW media library after the congress)

German

In view of the upcoming restrictions of use and the obligation to declare retinol and its derivatives in cosmetic products, the search for efficient yet safe alternatives is gaining momentum.Samphira Oil Bioactive is a lipophilic CO2 extract from sea fennel (Crithmum maritimum) with retinol-like properties, but without any irritation potential, as could be shown in comparative studies even on sensitive skin.Samphira Oil Bioactive promotes the exfoliation of the stratum corneum without damaging the epidermal structure. Simultaneously, it supports the proliferation of the keratinocytes for a thicker and denser epidermal tissue. The active stimulates the synthesis of collagen I and reduces the expression of collagen-degrading matrix metalloproteases (MMP). In vivo, Samphira Oil Bioactive reduces skin roughness and decreases the pore size significantly. Wrinkles around the eyes are smoothed out visibly and significantly, luminosity and homogeneity of the complexion are improved in an equally significant manner.Samphira Oil Bioactive is a 100% natural active ingredient and certified Cosmos organic.
