Pollution, air conditioning, depletion of the ozone layer, and the more stressful, fast-paced lifestyle all take their toll. Skin care products need to respond to these changes.

Benefits from previously unused plant sources:

The latest scientific research in dermatology has provided a better understanding of the micro-structure of human skin. At the same time, expanded research into natural ingredients has resulted in the discovery of the benefits that extracts from many previously unused plant sources can have on the skin. The result - products with improved, highly valuable compositions of active ingredients.

Farnesol (Dodecatrienol)

One of the most important new ingredients in skin care products is Farnesol (also known as dodecatrienol). Farnesol has fascinated researchers with its superb skin caring qualities. It occurs in various essential oils, most notably rose and orange blossom and wild cyclamen. A fatty alcohol, it is one of the components of Vitamin K.

A relatively new discovery, it burst upon the cosmetic scene in the early 1990s. Much of the pioneering research done on Farnesol was by H. Janistyn in the early 1980s.

Farnesol has been found to have the following effects:
smoothes wrinkles
normalizes sebum secretion
increases skin elasticity
increases the tension of tissue
increases the moisture binding capacity of the skin.

When applied to the skin, Farnesol actually promotes regeneration of cells and thereby reduces the skin's aging. It also activates collagen, elastin and mucopolysaccharide synthesis in the dermis. As a result, the skin looks younger and lovelier.

In addition, Farnesol has a bacteriostatic effect. The dramatic excitement generated by the discovery of Farnesol has led to a whole new generation of more effective skin products.
