Grape Fruit Distillate
* distillate of the concord grape. This is a very mild anti-oxidant that is naturally
in the grape skin itself. It also imparts the scent to this product. Acai Fruit Extract
* helps to prevent destructive, oxidative damage to tissues and cells
* contains up to 33% more anti-oxidant properties than red wine grapes
* this berry contains a high concentration of 'anthocyanidins' which produce
the color in the berries. These provide a high degree of anti-oxidant properties
to fight 'free-radical' damages and to help build a natural defense system
in the cells themselves Hyaluronic Acid
* humectant that can hold up to 1,000 x it's own weight in water retention
which in turn contributes to our skin maintaining a more youthful
and 'plumped' appearance Resveratrol
* resveratrol functions [in plants] as a phytoalexin, a substance produced by
plants that can inhibit the growth of infecting fungi or other pathogens. As a
'neutraceutical' [], Resveratrol [which offers the dark brown look to this serum],
presents itself with anti-viral, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and
neuroprotective activities which fights the degradation of cell functioning
to fight the free-radicals Lecithin
* emulsifier L-Carnosine
* consists of two amino acids, alanine and histidine. Such combinations of amino acids
are known as dipeptides. Like other amino acids and dipeptides, L-carnosine
is a protein building block.
* l-carnosine is good for trapping chemicals and turning them into lipofuscin
[which is the brown waste material deposited in skin and nerve cells that is \
commonly called "age spots." Lipofuscin is made of free radical damaged
proteins and fats.
* anti-oxidant properties that also fight the invaders causing cell degradation Optiphen
* preservative
** this serum is excellent to use before a Vitamin C serum as it helps the
cells to accept/absorb the Vitamin C to protect them from the
free-radicals that actually bind themselves to the cells and destroy
the cellular structure
