PRODUCT ORIGINS
After years of in depth researching the process of skin aging and with our knowledge and experience in the field, our products represent one of the most innovative approaches of DNA skin care. Taking into consideration the various factors involved in aging, we have developed our products with some of the most specialized ingredients, acting on a cellular level, targeting protection, repair and regeneration of DNA.
CAVIAR EXTRACT
Caviar has a cell format similar to human skin and is known to provide unparalleled nourishment and mineralization of the skin. The Caviar Extract used in the Caviar of Switzerland products is comprised of non-fertilized sturgeon eggs farmed in France, near the town of Bordeaux. Caviar is very rich in nutritious elements, including proteins, minerals, vitamins and lipids, which contain an abundance of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The Caviar Extract is uniquely structured to deliver these potent nutrients directly to the cellular level of the skin. The most important properties of Caviar Extract are its moisturizing, nourishing, anti-aging, vitaminizing, retexturising protective qualities – all of these help reverse the aging process. By providing an external source of DNA, caviar extract is said to be an ideal additive to repair skin damage as well as stimulate the metabolism of the skin cells.
RESVERATROL
Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant produced by certain plants as defense against stress. Conclusive research of the past several years has led to it becoming widely accepted as a veritable fountain of youth for its protective qualities against free radicals (scavenging existing ones and preventing their further formation) and other factors that cause aging. The antioxidant ability of resveratrol has been shown to be greater than that of vitamins E and C classifying it as a both potent and efficient antioxidant. Topical application of resveratrol protects against UVB-mediated skin damage and inhibits UVB-induced oxidative stress, which is known to cause DNA and RNA damage, contribute to premature aging and more. It also helps regenerate the skin by stimulating healthy cell proliferation and collagen synthesis while increasing its resistance to irritants (harmful enzymes) and ageing factors. Overall, its antioxidant activity provides cellular protection against free-radical attack and shielding against damage from air pollutants and sunlight. Resveratrol is also possessed of significant anti-inflammatory and skin lightening properties.
HYALURONIC ACID
All products are enriched with Hyaluronic Acid, which has strong moisturizing and film-forming properties that help preserve the most important characteristics of youthful, healthy skin, such as suppleness, elasticity and tone.
PANTHENOL
Panthenol, a plant derivative also known as Provitamin B, is a natural humectant. This property in combination with its ability to penetrate into the lower skin layers (easily absorbed by skin cells) is making it an excellent hydrating ingredient. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory and protective antimicrobial properties. Panthenol helps to restore and maintain the natural moisture of skin while leaving it velvety and smooth. Its exfoliating properties fight free radicals and promote new skin cells to systematically regenerate.
BISABOLOL
Bisabolol is a natural active ingredient of botanical origin (German chamomile), used in medicine and cosmetics for hundreds of years because of its skin healing properties. It is known to have anti-irritant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Bisabolol is also demonstrated to enhance the percutaneous absorption of certain molecules, can help reduce UV-induced erythema and is said to protect the skin from the effects of daily stress and accelerate the cutaneous healing process.
VITAMIN E
Vitamin E has antioxidant and moisturizing properties. It helps the skin acquire a youthful glow, tones the tissues and plays an important role in preventing skin cancer as well as damage due to UV radiations. Vitamin E easily penetrates into the vital membranes of the skin cells and accumulates there to protect against the damaging effects of lipid peroxidation. Topical application of Vitamin E can therefore provide a defense against aging from the inside out.
SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE ENZYME
​SOD is a very efficient enzyme and its role is to neutralize free radicals resulting from lipid peroxidation, preventing the chain reactions that would eventually reach deeply into the skin and attack the cells. This ingredient contributes to the significant antioxidant properties of Caviar of Switzerland.
SHEA BUTTER
Shea butter contains five essential fatty acids, (a major amount coming from stearic and oleic acids), phytosterols, vitamins E and D, allantoin (good for healing skin irritations), and vitamin A. These ingredients act in neutralizing free radical damage providing production at the DNA level, reducing fine lines and wrinkles as well as fading age spots. Shea butter also has cell regenerative virtues and delays skin aging while stimulating collagen production, in addition to its softening, moisturizing, and skin restoring qualities.
