Beauty Ocean Cleansing Gel contains a complex of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor ingredients (NMF): Sodium PCA, lactic acid and sodium lactate. This gel is enriched with collagen amino acids and retinol (vitamin A).
Sodium PCA, a natural amino acid derived from vegetables, sugar or starch, is the basis of the skin’s natural moisturizing process:
- effectively absorbs and retains liquid, maintains optimum moisture level
- softens, reduces the sloughing and irritation of dry skin
- helps smooth out small wrinkles
Lactic acid has the strongest moisturizing effect of all AHA-acids because it’s the skin’s natural moisturizing component:
- is included in the skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF), so it effectively moisturizes and maintains the optimum epidermis hydro-alance
- stimulates the exfoliation of corneous scales and epidermis renewal, thereby boosting the content of the skin’s functionally-active natural moisturizing factor (NMF) and bound water molecules
- binds water due to hygroscopic molecules, delivers water to deep epidermis layers after penetrating the skin
Sodium lactate, a lactic acid derivative:
- is a “physiological” skin moisturizer. Its composition is similar to natural moisturizing factor composition, therefore, sodium lactate actively replenishes water deficiency in the skin
- restores pH level to its physiological norm
- inhibits the growth of microorganisms extraneous to the skin
Sodium lactate is used in the food industry as a moistureretaining and acidity-regulating agent.
Collagen amino acids:
- penetrating the deep skin layers, glutamic acid, leucine, lysine, aspargine, glycine and valine promote its regeneration
- strengthen the skin’s collagen “frame;” they are built in the structure of collagen fibers, where they act as “spare parts”
- moisturize the skin, making it supple
Retinol (vitamin A):
- has excellent antioxidant properties, successfully fights against free radicals
- activates regeneration processes; as a result, the skin breathes better and is moisturized, with nutrients penetrating it more easily
- accelerates the skin-cell division process (this process slows down as we grow older). We stimulate collagen synthesis by “boosting” the skin with a dose of vitamin A
Purpose:
- Effectively cleanses the skin’s surface, constricting pores
- Maintains the activity of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor ingredients, normalizes its hydro-lipid balance
- Activates the skin’s natural protective mechanisms
