Seacode™ is a marine ingredient occurring naturally in non-genetically modified organisms (Non-GMO) and obtained through biotechnology for sustainable cosmetics since there is no harvesting nor extracting from nature.
Seacode™ contains Extracellular Polymeric Substances (ECPS) from Pseudoalteromonas bacteria and enhances the synthesis of essential dermal proteins: as shown in vitro, it induced the synthesis of collagen I by more than 100% in HDFa cultures. As a result, it combats fine lines and wrinkles while helping to maintain the skin’s firmness. The skin roughness reduced by 16.5% and 25.1% statistically significant results versus initial time after 1 and 4 weeks with Seacode™- respectively, which are visible in the way it improved lipstick lines, as shown the dermatological evaluation.Thanks to its anti-wrinkle effects, Seacode™ is highly recommended for all ages and skin types in formulations which are directed at rejuvenating skin.
Ceramides only enhances this to be hydrating, regenerative and protective!
Method of Application Spritz onto moistened skin for easiest application and to help the serum last as long as possible. By spritzing your face first with spring water, hydrosol or a hydrating mist you will find the serum glides on easily without tugging and pulling on the skin. This is especially noticeable with the application of creams.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of humidity, heat, direct light and in a dark cabinet when possible:
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark:
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt:
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
Honey very healing, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral
Spring Water hydrating, moisturizing
Lingonberry Extract reduce redness and skin sensitivity, promote tissue regeneration and have anti-inflammatory properties. Clinical studies have proven that topically applied these essential fatty acids improve the health and appearance of the skin, speed up wound healing, and reduce transepidermal water loss
Seacode™ has shown an “in vitro” wound healing effect, an increase in the formation of Collagen Type I and Type IV and Elastin formation, helps to keep skin from drying out, shows important anti-wrinkle activity, especially in the forehead and around the eyes
Sunflower Seed Oil high in fatty acids, as well as vitamins A, D, and E, conditions skin
Leucidal SF (Lactobacillis Ferment) GMO Free preservative and no ethoxylation, irradiation, sulphonation, hydrogenation, or ethylene oxide is used in processing
Ceramide Complex with aging, skin loses its youthful moisture, suppleness, and smoothness, thanks to the loss of essential ceramide molecules. Skin ceramides make up 50% of the lipids in the extracellular "cement" that binds together protective cells in the outermost skin layer, the stratum corneum. The loss of skin ceramides renders aging skin permeable to moisture, leaving skin dry, rough, and itchy; ceramide loss is also a major contributor to wrinkles.
Sunflower Seed Extract conditioning, anti-inflammatory, helps to neutralize free radicals
Milk Protein hydrating, gives skin a glossy, smooth look, protective
MSM contains naturally occurring sulfur, helps to keep skin soft and free of wrinkles, helps to prevent dry and brittle skin, used to treat acne in adolescents, helps to prevent scar tissue formation after an injury or burn, works to shrink and replace old scar tissue with healthy new skin, *immediately and completely eliminate itching caused by poison ivy or poison oak (just an interesting fact)
Hydrolyzed Elastin improves skin elasticity for a firmer, tighter feel and look, stimulates natural collagen production
Allantoin derived from the comfrey root, relieves dry, itchy, irritated skin, believed to heal skin by promoting new tissue growth
Glycerin humectant, vegetable derived, literally, draws moisture out of the air to skin when applied topically
Lactic Acid used as a moisturizer in small amounts in this serum
I love this. I use it on damp skin and it’s light so it doesn’t take much time at all to absorb. I tend to over-exfoliate my skin (and a bad habit of picking sometimes, I know I know- I’m working on it) and when it’s irritated or red and I use this I can immediately see and feel a calming effect on my skin. I also feel like it helps my skin absorb other products better when layering serums.
