The Zalakaros Thermal Water Hydrating Face Cream 25+, an incredibly light and fast absorbing cream for a luscious complexion! This newly developed face cream moisturizes, conditions, refreshes, nourishes and soothes the skin thanks to its aloe vera content, strengthening the skin's defence mechanisms. Perfect for all skin types as it does not weigh down the skin, absorbs extra quickly and leaves the skin feeling velvety smooth! Its collagen content helps to soften and hydrate the skin. With its medium hyaluronic acid, it helps to keep the skin firm and elastic. Nourishes and nourishes even sensitive and irritated skin. The hyaluronic acid's water-binding properties keep the face soft and nourished, while its betaine content strengthens the skin's defences and protects it against external aggressions. It is also an excellent make-up base, as it gives the skin a velvety finish. Main special ingredients: MEDIUM DENSITY HYARULonic ACID: penetrates deeper into the skin, where its water-retaining properties keep the skin hydrated. Stimulates the skin's own production of hyaluronic acid, which keeps the skin firmer and more youthful, and improves the structure of collagen fibres. It strengthens the intercellular connections in the upper layer of the skin, preventing water evaporation from the deeper layers of the skin. ALOE VERA: moisturising / The plant is native to South Africa, but has been cultivated in many parts of the world (India, China, Egypt), even used as an ornamental plant. It contains mucilages and resinous substances such as aloe emodin. Plant mucilages are high molecular weight polysaccharides. Both substances have antiseptic properties and anti-inflammatory effects. The extract also has an astringent effect, while its composition allows it to be easily absorbed and moisturises the epidermis. E-VITAMIN: binds harmful free radicals, thus helping to delay the appearance of wrinkles, helps to maintain skin firmness. Vitamin E, also known as tocopherol, increases the moisture content, softness and smoothness of the skin. It is also known to have a sunscreen effect, protecting against harmful rays. It has an important role in preventing the formation of free radicals. Free radicals are also produced in the skin by ultraviolet radiation and damage the structure of the skin. This is partly the result of skin ageing and the development of skin cancer. It is used in cosmetic products as an anti-ageing vitamin. When used in high concentrations (2-5%), it has a good cell-protective, vitalising effect. GREEN TEA: moisturising, anti-ageing, prevents wrinkles. Tea is actually a species of shrub that grows to tree size, native to China and India. Green tea differs from black tea in that it does not undergo a fermentation process (which black tea does, which is why it is black), and retains the beneficial substances it contains in their natural form. It is rich in flavonoids, including catechins and tannins, the most important of which is epigallocatechin-3-gallate, an organic ester compound containing 3 aromatic rings, which is one of the most powerful antioxidants and is currently being researched as a potential anti-cancer drug. It is also known to have astringent, anti-inflammatory, cleansing-disinfectant and sebum production regulating effects. COLLAGEN: Collagen is a protein molecule that can be synthesised by animal organisms, makes up 30-35% of the total body protein and there are many types (28), which perform different functions in different places in the body. It has significant amounts and functions in connective tissues, dentin that forms teeth, bones, joints, tendons, corneas and even blood vessels. Regardless of its type, collagen is crucial for the integrity (structural stiffness) of a tissue. Proteins are made up of amino acids, and collagen is predominantly composed of Glycine, Proline, (and in the presence of the vitamin C cofactor) Hydroxyproline and Hydroxylysine. It has a triple helix (a helical or spiral structure made up of 2 alpha-1 and 1 alpha-2 chain), which gives it high tensile strength and resistance to mechanical stress (which is why the skin does not sag or bone does not break spontaneously). As we age, collagen synthesis slows down compared to the initial rate, which is why wrinkles, sore joints and slower healing wounds begin to appear over time. WHEAT MILK OIL: An excellent „skin-building” oil. It does not clog pores, is easily absorbed, moisturizes and softens the skin, leaving it smooth and silky. Its antioxidants promote regeneration and prevent the formation of wrinkles. It optimises collagen production and has anti-inflammatory properties. Grapeseed oil is very rich in unsaturated fatty acids (essential fatty acids, also known as unsaturated fatty acids, which are organic compounds that cannot be produced by the body but are essential for its proper functioning) such as linoleic acid (»70%) and oleic acid (»15%), as well as vitamin E (tocopherol). This oil is suitable for cosmetic use because of its easy-flowing and highly absorbent properties, leaving a silky feel and helping to maintain the skin's moisture content. AVOCADO OIL: Avocado oil is composed of unsaturated fatty acids 85%. The oil is extracted from the ripe fruit and contains relatively high levels of vitamins A, B1, B2, C and E. The phytosterols (organic compounds with a plant steran skeleton) contained in the oil are similar in structure to cholesterol in the skin. Thanks to these properties, avocado oil also cares for dry, cracked, eczematous skin and promotes cell renewal. It is also often used for sensitive skin, skin prone to inflammation and to treat scars. BETAIN: Two of its most important properties are moisturising (it does this more effectively than glycerin) and anti-irritant properties. The latter property is also used to counteract/reduce the effects of other irritants. GLICERIN: It is not foreign to the human body and therefore does not cause irritation or allergies. It is an excellent absorbent molecule as it helps the skin retain water by attracting and binding water molecules. In combination with urea, it significantly increases the skin's permeability in case of water deficiency and helps the skin to absorb additional moisturisers. Use: Suitable for all skin types due to the combination of active ingredients. Can be used on face and neck Recommended for continuous application on cleansed skin, morning and evening. Can also be used under make-up, it is very easily absorbed and does not leave a greasy feeling on the skin. It leaves the skin looking fresh and luminous, replenishes, nourishes and hydrates the skin's texture. The result of use is more hydrated, firmer, more supple looking skin. Squeeze 2-3 pumps of cream, then apply evenly to the area of skin to be treated using your fingertips, gently massage in and wait for absorption. You can even apply make-up afterwards.
