Science of Mature Skin
As we journey through postmenopause, our skin undergoes significant changes.
The decline in estrogen impacts our skin's collagen production, hydration, and overall thickness. This can lead to dryness, the appearance of fine lines, and a loss of firmness.
Menopause → Decreased Estrogen → Decreased Collagen
→ Potential for Dryness, Flakiness, Fine Lines, and Loss of Firmness.
Our Strategy
We employ non-hormonal, scientifically grounded methods to address menopausal skin challenges, focusing on replenishing and bolstering the skin's intrinsic processes.
Our products are designed to achieve the following objectives:
-
1. Moisture Retention
Age-related decline in sebaceous gland activity leads to reduced natural oil production, causing dryness. Enhancing hydration at the cellular level is crucial for maintaining skin plumpness and preventing transepidermal water loss.
-
2. Skin Barrier Integrity
Mature skin experiences a thinning of the stratum corneum and a reduction in lipid content, weakening the skin barrier. Reinforcing this barrier is essential for protecting against external irritants and pathogens, and for maintaining skin homeostasis.
-
3. Sooth Irritation
Inflammatory processes are more pronounced in aging skin due to a decline in immune response and increased sensitivity. Soothing inflammation is key to reducing the cycle of irritation and damage that can accelerate skin aging.
-
4. Rejuvenation
With age, the skin's regenerative processes slow down, leading to slower wound healing and reduced collagen production. Promoting these natural healing processes aids in combating the visible signs of aging and improving overall skin health.
Why No Hormones?
Hormonal treatments, while potentially effective, can introduce variability in dermatological responses due to individual hormonal fluctuations and medical histories. Such treatments also carry a risk of systemic side effects, especially pertinent in long-term application.
Our strategy leverages non-hormonal alternatives, which mitigates these risks, ensuring our products are safe and suitable for a wider demographic, irrespective of their endocrine profiles.
This methodology aligns with our scientific commitment to deliver efficacious skincare solutions while safeguarding against the complexities and potential contraindications associated with hormonal therapies.
Ingredients
Given our objectives and scientific strategy, the selection of specific ingredients is meticulously aligned to address the unique dermatological needs of women over 45, based on an understanding of the physiological changes in mature skin.
