Mature Skin Collagen Developer is designed to help with hydration, building collagen, elastin, and firmness. Over time this can help to fill in wrinkles and fine lines.
Method of Application Apply to your skin after toning and before any other hydrating serums, oils or creams.
Please read below for information about this:
Sodium Chloride (Salt) is added to Water to increase electrical conductivity and facilitate the manufacturing process that separates the oxygen molecules from the H2O, and stabilizes the oxygen in the water. (this is a proprietary process from our supplier to achieve this) The end result is a highly stabilized oxygen that is far different than the original ingredients and very very low in sodium and chloride.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for 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 always 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 (except our Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of high humidity, heat, and direct light, and keep them 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 the Salicylic Acid Serums as those 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 Requiring Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier Oils - generally you can refrigerate all carrier oils although some of the 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, setting the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shaking the bottle will hopefully turn into a liquid. ^There are some oils that have 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 always be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare' butters. You can take out 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 from each herb. Root, Trunk, Leaves, and Flowers. Extracts have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator (or a dark DRY place) Other Various Raw Ingredients - i.e. Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
Stabilized Oxygen (see below) assists in the production of collagen and elastin, encourages the growth of healthy, new cells, reduces the look of fine lines with plumping of the skin while increasing the skins moisture content
Gladback(Water (and) Glycerin (and) Poria Cocos Polysaccharide) rolls back the effects of aging in skin thickness, microcirculation, radiance, and firmness, the result is younger and more radiant skin, a purified and standardized fraction of Poria cocos for mature and/or menopausal skins, it is a multi-functional active ingredient which increases skin thickness, radiance and microcirculation while also reducing the appear-ance of wrinkles typical of aging
Trylagen PCB® selectively boosts the synthesis of Collagen I, III and IV while controlling the uniformity of fibril diameter and the regular spacing of collagen fibrils when the fibrils are formed, ensuring the correct organization of the collagen network, protects collagen from degradation and glycation characteristic of aged skin, Trylagen PCB® helps maintain our collagen quantity and quality, and this is macroscopically translated in a significant antiwrinkle effect
Serecite helps to mattify skin
Dimethicone offers barrier protection, holds moisture to the skin, helps to reduce friction against the skin
Benzyl Alcohol/DehydroaceticAcid broad spectrum, paraben free preservative that does not release formaldehyde
Stabilized Oxygen there are some stabilized oxygens that are made from sodium chlorite. Ours is not. There are some stabilized oxygens that are made from hydrogen peroxide. Ours is not.
