Ingredients
Olive Squalane
Olive S Serum contains the beautiful anti-ageing Olive
Squalane or Phytosqualan®, a vegetable squalane of high purity1.
The molecular structure of this oil makes it compatible with
our skin as Phytosqualan® is one of the components found in human sebum. Sebum,
produced by sebaceous glands, forms an oily layer on the skin surface, keeping
it soft and helping it to be waterproof. The compatibility of Olive Squalane
with sebum prevents moisture loss and restores suppleness and flexibility to
the skin.
Research shows that, after applying a moisturizer containing
Olive Squalane twice daily, a significant improvement is visible after week 8
and Kato et.al. suggest that Olive Squalane can be used as an active ingredient
for wrinkle-care moisturizers2.
Olive Squalane also stimulates a better blood flow and
nourishment of the skin, as well as an improved moisture balance and elasticity
of the skin. The result is a visible improvement in the skin’s quality and
structure3.
Squalane is a stable product that does not turn rancid. It
is also an anti-oxidant, immune-stimulator and has anti-inflammatory properties,
which are all beneficial for the skin. Another benefit is that it is odourless.
As stated by Gregory Kelly4, “squalene is not very susceptible to peroxidation and
appears to function in the skin as a quencher of singlet oxygen, protecting human
skin surface from lipid peroxidation due to exposure to ultraviolet light and
other sources of oxidative damage.”
Lavender
Skin regenerating essential oil, which benefits the skin
where there is inflammation, redness and ageing.
Vitamin E
A natural moisturizer, Vitamin E penetrates the epidermis
where it binds water in the skin thus hydrating the cells in the skin.
Conclusion
Olive S Serum is a blend that is easily absorbed by the
skin; in a matter of seconds it leaves a beautiful soft and non-greasy finish
on the skin. One drop goes a long way and two drops generally suffice to
massage into the face. The throat and décolleté also benefit from daily
applications of this blend.
