CoQ10 is a vitamin-like substance that is naturally found in every cell of the human body. Vital for proper cell function, CoQ10 plays a major role in producing energy needed for cell growth, maintenance, and immune functions. It is also a powerful antioxidant that prevents damage to collagen and elastin process by harmful molecules, free radicals.
CoQ10 decreases in level with age and thus is often referred to as a “Biomarker of Age.” The level of CoQ10 in the skin at about age 30 is below optimum, resulting in a lesser ability to produce collagen, elastin, and other important skin molecules. CoQ10 is a small molecule that can easily penetrate the skin.
CoQ10 Toner contains Aloe Vera and Hyaluronic Acid. Aloe Vera, used for several thousand years for its therapeutic properties is beneficial to skin in different ways. First, Aloe’s polysaccharides act as moisturizers, hydrating the skin. Secondly, Aloe is absorbed into the skin and stimulates the fibroblasts to replicate themselves faster producing collagen and elastin thus making the skin firm and supple. An anti-inflammatory, Aloe is well known for its ability to heal wounds and speed up the healing process.
Hyaluronic Acid, nature’s most powerful humectant capable of holding 1000 times its own weight in water. Through the natural process of aging and other extrinsic factors that causes skin damage, the skin’s natural quantity and quality of Hyaluronic Acid diminishes, which causes dryness and wrinkles. An essential glycosaminoglycans and with its sustained moisturizing effect, Hyaluronic Acid effectively repairs, regenerates, soothes, nurtures, and restores skin’s moisture content. Hyaluronic Acid also helps draw in active ingredients deeper into the skin. |
