PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
Hemp oil is the vegetable oil of the Hemp seed. It has been used for food and medicine in China for at least 3000 years.
The oil obtained by cold pressing from the Hemp seed is a valuable source of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, linolenic (omega-3), and linoleic (omega-6).
In fact, it’s the only edible oil that contains over 80% polyunsaturated essential fatty acids. Linoleic acid (LA) and linolenic acid (LNA) are found in a ratio of 3:1, which nutritionists widely believe to be the optimal ratio.
The hemp seed oil also contains a significant amount of antioxidants, especially polyphenols such as biologically active flavonoids (flavanones, flavanols, and isoflavones) and tocopherols (vitamin E). Hemp oil contains higher amounts of total phenolic compounds than other vegetable oils and demonstrates higher antioxidant activities. These compounds help to prevent oxidative damages caused by free radicals.
Hemp oil comes from the seeds of the hemp plant. The seeds of the hemp plant contain only trace amounts of THC, CBD, or other cannabinoids.
Cold‐pressed plant oils have better nutritive properties than refined oils. Cold‐pressed oils may retain higher levels of natural antioxidants (which may be removed during the refining steps of a conventional oil processing procedure) and exhibit acceptable shelf stability without added synthetic antioxidants. In addition, cold-pressing involves no organic solvent, which results in a chemically contaminant-free product. Cold pressing is simple, ecological, and does not require much energy.
Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are fatty acids that humans and other animals must consume from external sources, as the body requires them for good health but cannot synthesize them. The fatty acids known to be essential for humans are alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) and linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid). Omega−3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids (contain more than one double bond in their backbone). They play an essential role in the human diet and human physiology.
The three types of omega−3 fatty acids involved in human physiology are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), found in plant oils, and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), both commonly found in marine oils.
Various enzymes (desaturases) found to be present in different layers of the skin are involved in essential fatty acids metabolism in the epidermis. These processes are necessary for the maintenance of skin homeostasis.
Linoleic acid (omega 6) is an essential building block for the ceramides in the epidermis. Ceramides are a particular type of lipids, which comprise 40 to 50% of the lipids in the stratum corneum (SC). The presence of Linoleic acid in SC ceramides is essential for the permeability barrier function of the skin. By supporting the skin’s barrier function, essential fatty acids reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and increase the skin’s moisture content.
Anti-aging
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids improve the firmness of the skin by inhibiting the activity of MMP enzymes. MMP enzymes break down collagen and other dermal matrix components, which support the three-dimensional structure of the skin. Omega-3 fatty acids also reduce the synthesis of various compounds involved in skin irritation and the aging process. Thus, provide a substantial anti-aging activity.
GOJI BERRY SKIN REVITALIZING SERUM
Goji berry (Lycium barbarum) has been used in China for more than 2,000 years as a traditional medicinal herb and food supplement. Today, goji berries are considered a superfruit and consumed worldwide. The primary active components are Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBPs) composed of various monosaccharides such as fucose, ribose, rhamnose, arabinose, xylose, mannose, and galactose. Other constituents of the Goji berry fruits are carotenoids, glycosphingolipids, ascorbyl glucoside, phytosterols, flavonoids, and vitamins (in particular, riboflavin, thiamine, and ascorbic acid).
Significant anti-aging effects of LBPs and other major components have been reported in many scientific publications. In skin cells, it has been demonstrated that LBPs possess significant anti-oxidative and calming effects against UV-B-induced photodamage.
LBPs also show anti-aging activity in the skin by significantly suppressing MMP-9 enzyme expression and promoting human fibroblasts’ survival in harsh conditions. The MMP’S (Matrix Metallo Proteinases) are a group of about 20 enzymes specialized in the breakdown of the extracellular matrix components such as various collagen types, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
LBPs also have a prebiotic activity, and they promote the development of some beneficial probiotic bacteria.
Goji berry Skin Revitalizing Serum contains PhytoCellTec™ Goji.
PhytoCellTec™ Goji is a novel active ingredient based on goji berry plant stem cells which improves cell-to-cell communication and boots the synthesis of matrix components such as collagen and elastin.
Treatment with PhytoCellTec™ Goji significantly improves skin density, reduces wrinkle depth, and enhances the oval face shape through reduced sagging of the facial contours.
In a clinical study, 23 women aged 41 – 69 years with signs of photoaging applied a cream containing 0.4% PhytoCellTec™ Goji (or a corresponding placebo cream) for two months.
After 28 days, ultrasonic measurements showed a significant improvement of skin density for the treatment with PhytoCellTec™ Goji.
Furthermore, after 56 days, a significant decrease in wrinkle depth on the sides of the face (the crow’s feet area) was measured. Notably, not only fine wrinkles below the eye appeared smoother, but deeper lines were also visibly improved.
Representative before/after pictures of two volunteers to illustrate the decrease in wrinkle depth on crow’s feet after 56 days treatment with 0.4% goji stem cell active.
Goji berry Skin Revitalizing Serum is a rich serum with a light texture.
In addition to PhytoCellTec™ Goji, it contains vegetable squalane, Hemp seed oil, and an effective vitamin C derivative.
HEMP ESSENTIAL – HEMP MOISTURIZING CREAM
Cream with light texture contains Aquaxyl – a new generation of moisturizer that stimulates the synthesis of proteins and enzymes essential to the skin barrier function. Aquaxyl also stimulates the synthesis of amino acids (NMF), ceramides, and hyaluronic acid.
The cream also contains “PHYCOSACCHARIDE” (obtained from alga), which provides effective protection against pollution and environmental factors. Recent studies indicate that pollution accelerates skin aging. PHYCOSACCHARIDE works like a thin and invisible mask that catches impurities to avoid their penetration.
Another active ingredient, PEPHA-AGE, obtained from a special freshwater micro-alga, protects the skin against the harmful effects of blue light. Blue light is the shortest and highest-energy wavelength of the visible light spectrum. Blue light is actually everywhere. Sources of blue light include the sun, digital screens (TVs, computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablets), electronic devices, and fluorescent and LED lighting.
PEPHA-AGE protects against oxidative stress and prevents premature skin aging, accelerated by exposure to blue light. It promotes even skin tone, stimulates collagen production, and repairs the skin barrier function. The cream also contains a combination of sun filters.

BIOME-CALMINE
PROBIOTIC ANTI-AGING SKIN CARE APPROACH
The skin microbiome or microflora is the collection of microorganisms that live on our skin: bacteria, fungi, viruses, and mites. The skin is the second most common body site for microorganisms next to the gut. Most of these microorganisms are harmless or even beneficial. Bacteria are by far the most common skin microorganisms.
The types and the concentration of the microorganisms in the various skin areas are determined by the ecology of the skin surface. Bacterial species vary depending on the body site, which is classified as one of three types: dry, moist, oily.
Although there are variations between individuals, skin microbial variation depends more on the anatomical site than on the individual.
Different microorganisms on the skin are categorized according to how they affect us.
Commensals are “friendly” microbes that benefit from living on our skin, usually without causing any harm.
Mutualistic microorganisms are microbes that benefit from living on the skin and benefit the human host in return.
Pathogens are disease-causing microbes.
Most microorganisms on the skin are commensals. These can prevent the colonization of other pathogenic microbes by using the nutritional sources that those harmful microbes require to survive and producing toxic substances that stop the pathogens from adhering to skin cells. New evidence suggests that commensal skin bacteria both directly protect humans from pathogenic invaders and help the immune system maintain
the delicate balance between effective protection and damaging inflammation.
Apparently, we do not need the bacteria to be alive for work on our skin. Scientific research indicates that the beneficial properties of probiotic microorganisms are beyond their viability. Inactivated microbes and their fractions are biologically active as well.
Biome-Calmine series contains effective concentrations of anti-aging probiotic and prebiotic active ingredients together with a special red alga extract with anti-wrinkle action:
PRORENEW COMPLEX:
Biotechnologically obtained from the probiotic lactic acid-producing bacterium, Lactococcus lactis.
This ingredient is based on a probiotic anti-aging approach towards skin renewal and barrier function.
It induces the production of many vital constituents essential for skin function and differentiation.
It Induces balanced skin renewal and desquamation and accelerates skin barrier recovery.
It increases the production of antimicrobial peptides by the skin cells and supports the healthy ecosystem of the skin.
ECOSKIN:
Ecoskin is a Pre/Probiotic complex comprising three components: α-glucooligosaccharides, nutritional fibers obtained by enzymatic synthesis from plant substrates.
Pure plant juice, rich in polyfructose, nutritional fibers obtained by cold pressure of yacon (Polymniasonchifolia) tubers. Yacon is one of the richest sources of polyfructose in the plant kingdom containing almost 67% inulin.
The third component of Ecoskin is Lactobacilli probiotic bacteria (L. casei and L. acidophilus) inactivated and freeze-dried.
Ecoskin provides prebiotic action by supporting the growth of beneficial microorganisms and balancing the ecosystem of the skin. It provides probiotic action by stimulating the skin’s natural defense mechanism.
Clinical tests demonstrated smoothing effect, reduction in the depth of the skin furrows and
improvement in the texture of the skin.
RENOUMER:
Ocean sourced ingredients are a fusion of natural, sustainable, fascinating marine science and exploration of an undiscovered world.
RenouMer has been developed from the nourishing cytoplasm of the newly characterized Breton red Algae Polysiphonia Elongata.
This species lives exposed to full light and has developed cell protection processes.
This cytoplasmic extract has the most extraordinary skin rejuvenation properties. It turns out that cytoplasmic components of these algae are highly effective in both counteracting photoaging and promoting collagen renewal, which supports skin firmness.
RenouMer(2%) shows a significant anti-wrinkle effect after 56 days of treatment in the clinical study.

BIOME-CALMINE GEL FOR OILY AND PROBLEMATIC SKIN
Various skin conditions are associated with a significant shift of the natural composition of the microflora, and such a condition is called “Dysbiosis.” Often, an increase in the presence of a particular microorganism is observed: for example, propionibacterium in the situation of oily and problematic skin.
It is not surprising that significant growth is observed in products focused on the skin microbiome in the last years. These products balance the skin microflora and maintain the health of the skin.
Combining probiotic ingredients with other unique active ingredients makes this gel an effective treatment for oily and problematic skin.
The gel has a very light texture, and it does not leave any sticky after-feel on the skin. It may also be used under a moisturizer or makeup.
The active ingredients:
PHYCOSACCHARIDE AC
ECOSKIN
NIACINAMIDE
PHYCOSACCHARIDE AC
A biotechnological molecule inspired by the symbiosis between an alga and a marine bacteria to fight against pathogens attacks. When the alga is attacked, the symbiotic bacteria releases an enzyme that digests the alginates of the alga membrane into smaller molecules known as oligo alginates. These molecules activate defense systems.
It was demonstrated that PHYCOSACCHARIDE AC balances the sebum levels in the skin and inhibits bacteria Involved in problematic skin conditions (P. Acne and S. Aureus). The clinical test demonstrated impressive improvement in various parameters in oily and problematic skin.
ECOSKIN
Ecoskin is a Pre/Probiotic complex comprising of nutritional fibers and the probiotic bacteria Lactobacilli.
Ecoskin provides prebiotic action by supporting the growth of beneficial microorganisms and balancing the ecosystem of the skin. It provides probiotic action by stimulating the skin’s natural defense mechanism.
NIACINAMIDE
There are many scientific pieces of evidence of the impressive effects of niacinamide on the skin. Niacinamide soothes the skin and balances the levels of the sebum. Clinical experiments demonstrated impressive results in the treatment of problematic skin.
EXCLUSIVE RESTORE
Exclusive Restore series includes products with substantial effects.
These products are designed for use combined with our other active series, such as Deep Restore, Hyalu-Ron, Creative, Phytosterol 40+, and other Series to complete and intensify the results.
EXCLUSIVE RESTORE- SKIN-LIGHTENING SERUM
The product contains a particularly effective combination of skin-lightening active ingredients:
Alpha Arbutin–found to be nine times more effective than the common beta form of arbutin in inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, the main enzyme in the biosynthesis of the melanin pigments. The reason for this high effectivity is better affinity and better interaction with the enzyme. Alpha Arbutin is also more effective in lightening the skin than Kojic acid.
In addition, the product contains a very high concentration of a unique compound (a very stable oil soluble form) of vitamin C. This compound effectively inhibits the process of melanin synthesis (melanogenesis) and shows high efficiency in the lightening of pigmentations. The efficacy of Exclusive Restore- Skin-Lightening Serum was demonstrated by a clinical study.
EXCLUSIVE RESTORE – SKIN REVITALIZING RESVERATROL DROPS
Resveratrol is present in small quantities in red grapes, red wine, peanuts, blueberries, and other plants. It is a polyphenol with intense antioxidant activity.
It has become clear that chronic inflammatory processes are very significant factors in developing various diseases and the aging process in the tissues.
Another important fact is that many of the inflammatory processes are initiated by free radicals. Therefore, antioxidants show effective anti-inflammatory activity in many cases and can diminish age-related processes in the tissue. Resveratrol is one of the most interesting materials regarding its potential to minimize tissue aging and promote restructuring.
Resveratrol is today one of the most studied natural materials in the field of slowing the aging process. It seems that its activity mimics the effect of “caloric restriction,” an important mechanism associated with slowing the aging process.
It was found that resveratrol (through epigenetic effect) promotes important processes such as Autophagy (or autophagocytosis) – a natural destructive mechanism of the cell that disassembles unnecessary or dysfunctional components. Studies have shown that this process is closely linked to preventing tissue aging and extending cells’ lifespan, as shown by studies in recent years.
Resveratrol, in addition to its other beneficial actions, is also very effective in skin lightening.
Combining resveratrol in cosmetic preparation is not easy as it is difficult to dissolve and tends to oxidize quickly. Resveratrol Skin Revitalizing Drops are a special stabilized solution of resveratrol without the presence of water.
The efficacy of the product was tested clinically by a unique three-dimensional photography technique (Primos). All participants reported improvement in overall wrinkles. A significant reduction in wrinkles was shown in 73% of the participants after twice a daily use of the product for 28 days.
EXCLUSIVE RESTORE – HYDROXY RETINOL SERUM
The differentiation process of the epidermal cells begins after the formation of the cells in the basal layer. In the upper layers, the cells undergo changes in shape and function and finally form the stratum corneum- the skin barrier composed of dead flat cells, tightly linked together. A waxy substance is present between the cells.
The final process is the desquamation – the shedding of the dead cells from the outermost layer of the epidermis. Any dysfunction in the differentiation process will lead to a defective skin barrier, dry or even flaky skin.
Retinol affects the differentiation process and the epidermal regeneration rate. Alpha hydroxy acids affect the renewal of the epidermis and assist the shedding process by weakening the strong connections between cells in the stratum corneum.
In addition, both retinol and alpha hydroxy acids affect the quality of the components of the deeper layers of the skin and therefore improve skin texture and topography.
Therefore, the combination of alpha-hydroxy acids at the optimal concentration and pH with retinol benefits the skin texture, skin tone, and skin moisturization.
The serum has a light texture, and it contains retinol, glycolic acid, malic acid, vitamin C, and vitamin E.
EXCLUSIVE RESTORE – GLYCOLIC AHA GEL SOAP
The soap is based on a particularly mild composition of cleansing agents. The product contains 5% alpha hydroxy acids at a low pH level. The product is designed to renew the skin and promote the efficient absorption of active ingredients. The product contains pomegranate juice with a strong antioxidant activity to soothe the skin and protect it from free radical damage.
