Ceramide 1
O: Synthesized. Induces DNA and cell division.

Ceramide 3
O: Synthesized. Maintains cellular viability. Encourages cellular desquamation.

Ceramide 6
O: Synthesized. This ceramide is permeable into the cell, it is an analogue of naturally occurring ceramides, has a longer carbon chain, is hydrophobic and most closely mimics natural skin ceramides for optimum integration.

Ceteareth 20
O: Fatty Alcohol. Stabilizes active ingredients, maintains product integrity, keeps active ingredients properly distributed, natural thickening agent.

Cetyl Ricinoleate
O: Specialty Ester. Used to reduce oily textures of product base ingredients, emollient, humectant.

Copper
O: Natural Trace Element. Copper gluconate is a component of the enzyme SOD. Superoxide Dismutase levels increase with the use of copper, aids in synthesis of Collagen and Elastine, repairs and heals wounds such as wrinkles.

Crataegus Cuneata Fruit Extract
O: Berry. Vasodilator that lowers resistance to blood flow, Anabolic effect: (builds up metabolic functions of the skin).

Cyclomethicone
O: Silicon. Used to provide silky texture to products. Used in place of glycerine.

Calcium Ascorbate
O: Vitamin C. Fully reacted to Calcium providing a buffered non-acidic form of Vitamin C, maintains connective tissue, collagen, acts as a free radical scavenger and recycles Vitamin E content within the body.

Cucumber Extract (Cucumis Sativus)
O: Cucumber. Cooling, calming, contains phosphorus and sulphur compounds that clarify the skin. Used to reduce heat from friction.

Chamomile Extract (Anthemis Noblis)
O: German, Hungarian and Roman Chamomile. Anti-inflammatory, wound healing anti-carcinogenic, excellent for treatment of eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.

Cymbidium Grandiflorum Extract
O: Orchid Flower. Increases immune system of the skin, repairs, fights fatigue, safe for sensitive skin, rich in zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium and polysaccharides that seal in moisture.

Copper Tripeptide 1
O: GHK & Copper. GHK is a protein peptide bound with copper to form Copper Tripeptide 1. Growth modulating, facilitates the uptake of Copper into the cell, mediates bio-chemical functions, aids in the copper transport factor. Increases Procollagen formation 70% within 30 days, in comparison to vitamin C that only increases by 50%. Allows ingredient to arrive at an active state where needed.

• Stimulates Collagen Production =Lessens wrinkles
• Stimulates Elastine Production = Decreases facial sag
• Stimulates the formation of “extra cellular cement” = Skin strengthening
• Stimulates the formation of Glycosaminoglycans = Dermal thickening
• Increases Blood vessel formation / Oxygenation = Ingredient Uptake and Respiration
• Stimulates the Production of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) = Enzyme that interrupts cellular degradation.

Caprylic / Capric Triglycerides
O: Coconut. Promotes penetration of actives, improves spreadability of concentrated ingredients in low percentage.

Dimethicone Crosspolymer
O: Silicone. Wound Healer. Increases linking of Hyaluronic Acid and muccopolysaccharides to protein in the connective tissue. Provides a silky permeable filmogenic texture.

Dipeptide 2
O: Linking of 2 Amino Acids. Used primarily in Oligo-Contour for its impact on lymphatic circulation. Improves the waste removal cycle of stagnant blood flow (dark circles) while expediting lymphatic drainage.
