Nescens Lifting & Volumizing Care Balm

Swertia Chirata Extract (pure swertiamarine extracted from the leaves of Indian gentian): patented active ingredient derived from advanced regenerative science. Originating from a new technology used to engineer skin tissue for the treatment of burns, it is capable of stimulating the proliferation of keratinocytes in order to regenerate the epidermis in the event of volume loss and to improve the appearance of skin with pronounced wrinkles. This innovative biomimetic mechanism of action is based on intercellular communication which activates the production of keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) from adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC).
Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Sxtract: purified polyholosides from linseed. Veritable reservoirs for water, capable of retaining at least 30 times their weight in water. Stimulate the synthesis of GAGs for a revolumizing and redensifying e!ect. Protect against collagen degradation (main protein making up the structure of the skin) thus allowing the skin to preserve its firmness and reversing the process of tissue sagging.
Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate: hyaluronic acid with low molecular weight for maximum bioavailability. Powerful moisturizer. Promotes the repair of cells damaged by ultraviolet rays. Increases cellular activity and proliferation. Participates in the elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by UV radiation. Slows down the process of skin aging thanks to its antioxidant properties. Firms the skin and increases its elasticity. Reinforces the skin’s barrier function when applied in the long term.
Sodium Hyaluronate: a hyaluronic acid of high molecular weight used for its capacity to retain water in tissues. Increases hydration by influencing the epidermal structure of the skin. Improves the texture of the skin by stimulating intercellular communication.
The combination of hyaluronic acid with low and high molecular weight provides an outstanding synergistic effect.
Sodium Hyaluronate (microspheres of hyaluronic acid): exclusive technology based on the use of a hygroscopic material to create a dehydrated sphere capable of filling with water upon contact with tissue and achieving a rapid and significant increase in volume. As effective as the ingredients used in injection for increasing hydration in the long term and rapidly counteracting deep wrinkles.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 + Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7: messenger peptides capable of regulating cell activities by interacting with their specific receptors. Activate the process of skin repair. Promotes the synthesis of components of the extracellular matrix by activating certain genes that tend to weaken with age. Regulates the expression of progerin, a senescence marker known to accumulate with age. Smooths wrinkles and improves the tonicity and elasticity of tissues.
Saccharide Isomerate: provides highly e!ective hydration over the long term. Urea: increases the activity of enzymes involved in the synthesis of epidermal lipids.
Xylose: a component of natural glycosaminoglycans, this sugar stimulates the synthesis of hyaluronic acid by keratinocytes and acts as an excellent moisturizing agent.
Glycerin: restores the lamellar structure of the intercellular lipids of the stratum corneum and ensures optimal hydration of the di!erent layers of the epidermis.
Niacinamide: has a stabilizing e!ect on the epidermal barrier. Increases the concentration of water in the stratum corneum. Accelerates the di!erentiation of keratinocytes.
Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter: rich in oleic and stearic acids. Helps to restore the skin’s lipid layer, reinforcing the skin barrier. The hydrating properties of cocoa butter are recommended for treating chapped skin and lips by applying daily hydration to prevent dry skin. Improves skin elasticity.
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter: repairs, hydrates, softens and protects the skin. Rich in unsaponifiables and vitamins (A, D, E, F). Protects against environmental factors (wind, cold, sun etc.). 
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): powerful antioxidant and photoprotector.
Amino-acids: includes 10 amino acids (arginine, glycine, alanine, serine, valine, isoleucine, proline, threonine, histidine, phenylalanine) which help to generate NMF and have hygroscopic properties. 
PCA (Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid): a component of natural moisturizing factor (NMF), this highly hygroscopic molecule is composed of an ultra-e!ective hydrating agent. It also helps reorganize the lamellar lipid structures of the stratum corneum. 
Ceramides NP, AP, EOP + Phytosphingosine + Cholesterol: restores the protective barrier function of the skin Ideal for aging skin, dry skin and sensitive skin Replenishes lipids in the skin.
