vasodilation Control of Inflammatory Reactions
Must take place at the very beginning of the cascade of reactions.
Inhibition of Phospholipase A2 will result in the control of the release of Arachidonic Acid, a major inflammatory mediator.
Additional anti-inflammatories will subsequently modulate the other steps of the cascade.

Peels and lasers trigger cell’s natural defense mechanism.
Skin’s repair process activated by damaged skin cells. BENEFIT: improves skin
Inflammatory reaction degrades collagen & elastin. SIDE EFFECT: ages skin Anti-Age: A Natural Approach
Prevent : control collagenase, elastase and GAGase degrading enzyme to prevent wrinkle formation.
Restore : collagen synthesis to accelerate “Healing” of skin
Repair : help skin cells rebound from stress and prevent premature aging Collagen Fragmentation by Collagenase

German Chamomile 5-Lipoxygenase assay
SCOPE To analyse potential inhibitors of potato 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO). PRINCIPLE 5-lipoxygenase converts the substrate linoleic acid (diene 1-4) to a conjugated diene product (diene 1-3), which can be detected at 234nm. A decrease in the absorbance signal is indicative for an increased anti-5LO activity.

The development of new ingredients from plant extracts involves many steps which can ultimately provide great benefits in cosmetics.
Despite the cost involved in such development, we believe that active ingredients from natural sources provides the cosmetic industry with a quasi infinite source of ingredients which we are aiming at developing in the future. Conclusion Opportunity not a Headache Carefully choose your partner
