The Ultimate in Rose Stem Cell/Peptide, Age Defying Cream

There is much to be said about the Rose. It’s fragrance. Color and the like.  Of late, there is much study being done about the benefits of Rose stem cell, and its ability to aid the production of new cells in the skin, thus reducing signs of aging, and enhancing elasticity of the skin.  The studies show that the Rose stem cells also allows the body to create much-needed hormones in aging woman.  Though there are only a handful of products currently on the market, when aging women get their hands on these products and find how effective they are, that number will greatly increase.  It is necessary for companies like ours to stay off the cutting edge of these studies and bring to our customers the latest personal care items.

The Alpine rose:

I want to introduce to you a beautiful pink flowering plant, the Alpine Rose, that can be found high up in the Swiss Alps.

It grows –and thrives– in an incredibly harsh environment consisting of high-altitude dryness and freezing temperatures.

How does the Alpine Rose endure such environmental stressors?

Its resilience and regenerative characteristics help the rose to thrive. 

Scientists have learned how these characteristics can also help support more youthful skin. 

The Alpine Rose contain stem cells that protect it against dehydration as well as the attack of radicals and pathogens.

These stem cells have amazing regenerative attributes, enabling the plant to produce new stem cells continuously throughout its lifetime, potentially living up to 100 years. This characteristic of the Alpine Rose stem cells is referred to as “totipotent.” Medical Definition of totipotent* 

*capable of developing into a complete organism or differentiating into any of its cells or tissues

Along with this vital characteristic, the Alpine Rose plant also contains high amounts of polyphenolic compounds (which protect the plant against radicals, as well as viruses and bacteria), taxifolin, antioxidants, and antiviral compounds; and are also optimized to sustain in a very dry environment. The plant has adapted to its environment by developing scales on its leaves to limit water loss, as well as developing the ability to synthesize protective proteins which behave as tiny sponges, retaining water around the cell membrane.

How Do These Stem Cells Support More Youthful Skin?

The Alpine Rose stem cells can survive the frost and dehydrating conditions of dry air and cold. And this protection appears to support more than the plant itself, as studies have shown the same stem cells can offer protection to human skin as well. 

Studies of the stem cells were shown to reduce the formation of carboxylated proteins. These proteins are a marker of skin aging. The stem cells were also shown to protect the skin against herpes occurrence due to their strong antiviral effect.

The Alpine Rose stem cells protected against damage induced by oxidative stress as well as defending against pathogens!

And in another study, Alpine Rose stem cells were again shown to have a protective effect on human skin, as they did within the plant.

Our skin’s epidermal cells are responsible for skin cell replenishment, and this process slows down as we age, taking 50% longer for replenishment to occur. This study demonstrated that one key measure of renewal, the ability for the cells to form colonies, increased as much as 75% when penetrated with a 0.15% Alpine Rose stem cell extract. Stem cells were better able to counter environmental stress and retain skin cell vibrancy.

What are Peptides, and How Do They Work?

Anti-Aging Peptides in Skin Care Products

Science has proven that peptides can help manage wrinkles in your skin and reverse the signs of aging. So, how do peptides in skin care products make your skin look younger? Many skin care products contain them, so just what are peptides?

What are Peptides for Skin Care?

Human skin is composed mostly of collagen. Collagen is a protein comprised of long segments of amino acids arranged like a chain.

• Collagen provides a foundation and thickness for skin
• Women under 30 have ample collagen, which results in smooth, tight skin
• The rest of us have less collagen – skin tends to be thinner, revealing more wrinkles

When collagen breaks down, short segments of amino acids are formed. These are the tiny proteins and active molecules known as peptides. Peptides in skin care can provide significant anti-aging benefits.

Skin Care Peptides Encourage Collagen Production for More Youthful Skin

When collagen is depleted by age and environmental factors, including sunlight, it is not fully replaced. As a result, smooth, young skin slowly becomes thinner and wrinkled over time. As collagen deteriorates, it produces certain peptides. Research from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) shows that these peptides send a “message” to your skin that it has lost collagen and needs to generate more. When skin care peptides are applied topically, your skin “thinks” that it's a collagen break-down product and that your body needs to manufacture new collagen. So, you can successfully minimize wrinkles and give your skin a more youthful appearance with the application of skin care peptides that trigger the production of collagen. It is therefore important to use a good peptide wrinkle cream.

The most commonly used peptide in skin care is: 

Peptides in Skin Care Products Help Remove Wrinkles

Wrinkle creams containing anti-aging peptides are popular and effective skin care products. Trylagen has been marketed as a safer, less expensive, and non-invasive alternative to Botox. This anti-aging peptide works by causing facial muscles to relax, thereby minimizing wrinkles. It is often combined other Peptides, which relaxes tiny muscles under the skin. This is particularly helpful for fading wrinkles around the eyes and for forehead wrinkles. By making the small muscles under your skin longer and reducing muscle tension, Trylagen fades the appearance of fine lines. 

What are peptides you'll find in skin care products?  Trylagen and other peptides are included in many anti-aging product preparations and include two paired amino acids attached to a fatty acid to promote absorption.  This cream contains Trylagen, and six distinct peptides, each at the maximum effective dosage.  They are neuropeptides, which are important because they have the ability to penetrate your skin more deeply to do the most good.

Scientists have discovered that Trylagen triggers the formation of several influential skin components, including elastin and collagen.  Scientific research reveals that after four months, the anti-aging peptide Trylogen may decrease wrinkle depth by 27%, roughness by 13%, and wrinkle size by 36%, when used two times each day on the face and the neck area.
