Active ingredients of Kvitok Barrier Booster
Prebiotic complex Biolin P - natural prebiotic, has been proven, it promotes the formation of a microbiological film of our skin and prevents the development of further infections, promotes the growth of protective microorganisms, that help rebuild the microbiome layer, while pathogenic bacteria are eliminated, so their ratio is naturally balanced, which helps prevent inflammatory reactions.
Complex of plant proteins - improves hydration, protects against adverse effects, helps regenerate the skin and strengthens its structure.
Postbiotic ingredients - include AHAs (especially lactic acid), amino acids (especially glutamic acid and proline) and bioactive peptides. The fermentation process increases the bioavailability of these active ingredients in oat extract, making them more usable for the skin, for example in oat flour or colloidal oat extract, even in low concentrations.
Aurafirm S - fermented oat extract, which acts as a postbiotic and prebiotic at the same time. Studies* have shown that it induces an increase in the growth of all bacteria on the skin, which is particularly beneficial for skin with a severely damaged microbiota, for example after washing with aggressive soaps or after shaving.
Shea butter - is great for regenerating and rejuvenating the skin and is especially suitable for sensitive and dry skin. It softens the thickened skin on the feet and elbows, helps prevent stretch marks (which is also suitable during pregnancy), and unifies skin tone. It also helps to reduce wrinkles and dark spots on the skin. In winter, it is excellent for keeping lips, hands and face hydrated.
Olive Squalane - helps restore the skin's protective film, protects it from moisture loss, is easily absorbed and is very resistant to oxidation. It helps stimulate skin cell renewal, is hypoallergenic and ideal for people with sensitive skin and those prone to allergies. It is highly compatible with the skin's natural protective film and, thanks to its powerful antioxidant properties, protects the skin and minimizes the formation of wrinkles. Unlike olive oil, the comedogenic effect of squalane is minimal and it does not clog pores, making it suitable for problematic skin. It is easily absorbed and leaves the skin velvety and plumped.
Almond oil - is suitable for all skin types, its composition is the closest to the skin film of human skin and few people are allergic to this oil, so it is suitable even for delicate baby skin. It has a soothing effect, slows skin aging, soothes inflammation, burns, lightens dark spots on the skin, relieves itching and is especially excellent for sensitive and dry skin.
GMO-free sunflower lecithin - has emollient properties, softens the skin, prevents dehydration and gives our creams a silky texture. The lipids that make up lecithin are very similar to the lipids found in the protective film that our skin naturally produces, making it suitable for very sensitive skin.
Lipids - formed by lecithin, they are very similar to the lipids contained in the protective film that the skin naturally forms, so it is suitable for very sensitive skin
Vegetable glycerin - prevents skin dryness and helps maintain skin hydration.
Levulinic and Anise Acids - plant acids, obtained from sugar cane and anise, which have strong antimicrobial and antifungal effects.
Vitamin E - promotes healing of the skin, improves its elasticity and thanks to its antioxidant action protects the skin from the negative influence of free radicals from the external environment.
Chamomile flower water - has anti-inflammatory effects and soothes irritated skin. It provides quality nutrition like these so-called. hydrolates, which are themselves an active substance. These are pure distillates that contain water-soluble bioactive plant substances and are free of allergenic ingredients.
Xanthan gum - helps to increase skin hydration while reducing dehydration by forming a thin film on the skin's surface. Improves skin firmness and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
Prebiotic-postbiotic complexes
The key active ingredients of the cream are prebiotic-postbiotic complexes, which support a healthy natural skin microbiome. The skin microbiome is made up of a layer of bacteria (containing more than 1000 different species) that provide natural protection - such bacteria are not only found on the surface of the skin, but also form the basis of immunity in the digestive tract, for example. You can preserve, support, and restore the microbiome in various ways – you can eliminate harmful bacteria with anti-inflammatory ingredients, you can use so-called Feed the "good" bacteria with prebiotics and encourage their growth, or promote balance by using probiotics, and you can add the "good" bacteria directly by postbiotics again adding the products of the "good" bacteria.
Biolin P and Aurafirm S
A very important ingredient is therefore the prebiotic complex Biolin P, which has been shown to support the formation of the microbiological skin film and prevent further infections. The natural prebiotic consists of inulin obtained from chicory root and glucosaccharides obtained by enzymatic synthesis of natural sugars. It promotes the growth of protective microorganisms that help to restore the microbial layer, while pathogenic bacteria are eliminated, i.e. their ratio is naturally balanced, and this helps prevent inflammatory reactions. Its function is complemented by Aurafirm S - fermented oat extract, which acts as a postbiotic and prebiotic at the same time. Prebiotic components are polyphenols and ectoine, postbiotic components are AHA acids (especially lactic acid), amino acids (especially glutamic acid and proline) and bioactive peptides. The fermentation process increases the bioavailability of these active ingredients in oat extract, making them more accessible to the skin than e.g. in oat flour or colloidal oat extract, already in low concentrations. **
Plant protein complex
A plant protein complex, called. plant keratin complex, is a blend of corn, wheat and soy protein. It is a plant-based vegan substitute for the classic keratin commonly used in body and hair cosmetics. Hydrolyzed proteins have smaller molecules that penetrate the skin better. In the human body, it is one of the key components often referred to as NMF (natural moisturizing factor). Compounds are responsible for maintaining the skin's moisture and elasticity by attracting and retaining water. Thanks to a triple combination of plant proteins, this complex improves skin hydration, strengthens skin structure and protects against dryness (transepidermal loss of hydration). It protects against adverse external influences, helps to regenerate the skin, improves its firmness and elasticity.
Anti-inflammatory oat protein
Oat protein in hydrolysed form consists mainly of proteins (avenin and globulins) and oligosaccharides. Oats, especially thanks to them, have been used for centuries to soothe irritated skin. In addition, it is rich in vitamins, minerals, sugars and other natural ingredients, thanks to which it has moisturizing, anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. Oat protein strengthens the skin's outer barrier, helping to restore skin function, maintain moisture and reduce itching. Its anti-inflammatory properties effectively relieve the unpleasant manifestations of eczema, especially atopic eczema. The hydrolyzed form is specially adapted for use in cosmetics, because oat powder itself is insoluble in water and contains large molecules, so it is not possible to use its full potential in cosmetic products. At the same time, the hydrolysed form is classified as gluten-free in foods where there is a limit for gluten. Cosmetic products have no specific limit.
Complex of plant ceramides for a strong skin barrier
A complex of plant ceramides helps to restore the lipid barrier by replenishing lipids in the skin structure. Ceramides are among the most important elements of the lipid barrier. They are arranged in a lamellar fashion to serve as a membrane and fill the intercellular space in the skin layers. In dry and cracked skin, this part of the lipid barrier is severely damaged and the skin suffers from excessive loss of hydration. Ceramide complex contains a lamellar structure that is different from other ceramide products, and this is what makes it unique and very useful in modifying the lipid barrier. Restore moisture, strengthen the skin's natural barrier and help protect it from damage. Skin sensitivity is also reduced and protection against external influences is improved. They are also important for moisturizing and firming the skin, eliminating wrinkles and skin deformities, and preventing thinning and weakening of the skin. Shea butter and squalane, which together with fine almond oil form the fatty part of the product, also support the function.
Use:
Apply a small amount of cream to cleansed and toned facial skin and massage gently. The texture of the cream is soft, very light and you only need to use a really small amount. The light consistency of the cream is quickly absorbed, does not stick and does not leave a greasy film.
Tip:
For improved hydration retention and protection from frost in the winter months, combine with Kvitok's Barrier Booster Regenerating Barrier Balm.
*The studies used Savon de Marseille soap (Marseille soap), whose higher pH had a negative effect on the slightly acidic pH of the skin and therefore on the microbiome - the diversity of the microbiome was altered by long-term use.
**Clinical studies show that regular use of a product containing this complex supports the maintenance of skin barrier homeostasis, induces antioxidant reactions and has a positive effect on skin hydration. Studies have shown that Aurafirm S induces an increase in the growth of all bacteria present on the skin, which is particularly beneficial for skin whose microbiome is severely disturbed, for example after washing with aggressive soaps or after shaving.
Storage:
Natural cosmetics are best stored in a cooler, dry place. Do not expose it to direct sunlight or frost. Sunlight can devalue it or reduce its expiry date. At the same time, when using cosmetics, follow the hygiene recommendations, for example, use a cosmetic spatula to scoop the products in the cup, always close the products after use and keep the edges of the bottles clean. Keep out of reach of children.
Warning:
From a legislative point of view, cosmetic products are not classified as pharmaceuticals and are therefore not used to treat skin diseases arising from internal body problems (regardless of brand, price or pharmacy purchase). They are used to relieve symptoms and treat damaged skin. The solution to the problem needs to be approached comprehensively - both from the outside and from the inside. For external use only. However, do not use natural cosmetics on open wounds either. The product is not intended to diagnose, prevent or cure any disease. In case of eye contact, flush with lukewarm water from the inner corner to the outer corner for at least 15 minutes. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before rinsing. If irritation occurs, seek medical attention. Before the first use, it is recommended to perform the so-called. patch test, i.e. apply and test the cosmetic product for tolerance on a small area of skin, preferably on the wrist, and wait 24 hours. This method can prevent the onset of allergic reactions and hypersensitivity to the product. If an allergic reaction occurs after application, wash the skin surface with lukewarm water. Stop using the product immediately. If the allergic reaction persists for a prolonged period of time, seek medical attention.
