Placenta and collagen cosmetic masks LADY U ~ PRODUCTION

COMPONENTS IN DETAIL

The LADY U maska are adapted for the application on different parts of the body textile tissues, imbued with the correspondent composition, hermetically sealed in an individual package and ready to application.

The essential components of the LADY U cosmetic series are placenta extract, hyaluronic acid, collagen, herbal extracts and vitamins.

Placenta extract

The best natural cell stimulating agents are so-called protein growth-promoting factors. Scientific research shows that with the time the production of such biologically active molecules reduces, leading to the cell activeness reduction and tissue ageing. In the search for the sources of protein growth-promoting factors scientists found out that placenta is a real «factory» for mammals, producing these molecules in huge quantities. Thus the normal growth and maturation of foetus are provided. Pioneering research works of the kind date back to 1912. For this invention a Swiss professor Karr was awarded a Nobel prize. First the placenta extract was singled out by a Japanese scientist Shan Dao in 1943. And in 1980 activating action of placenta extract on the cells of a human body was proved. The reparation was introduced intravenously. This fact was bound to encourage the study of the influence of placenta extract on the human skin. These were the first steps to the creation of placental cosmetic – the cosmetic of the 21st century.

At present in the cosmetic practice sheep placenta extract is in use, as it is a biological complex, containing protein growth-promoting factors, enzymes, irreplaceable amino acids, vitamins, microelements and etc.

note: placental hormones do not permeate into the finished cosmetic preparation

Stimulating action on skin cells is realized via the action of a range of biologically active peptides:

	EFG — epidermal growth factor
	Promotes the cell growth of the skin surface layer, restoring its smoothness
	TGF — growth factor
	Stimulates the activeness and division of fibroblasts. In the result the collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid synthesis increases. Therefore, a «skin mattress» is reconstructed, skin elasticity improves and wrinkles disappear.
	IFN — immunity increasing factor
	Stimulates the activeness and division of macrophages, and also other cells of the immune system. The increased activeness of macrophages leads to the increase of resistance and removal of harmful materials from the skin.
	NGF — nerve-growth factor
	Stimulates the restoration of nerve endings, normalizing regulatory processes.
	AFGF — oxidizing agent
	Necessary to synthesize new connective tissue fibers

Cosmetic effect of placenta extract is due to the abovementioned components, influencing the human skin in a stimulating, trophic, plastic and anti-oxidant way. In the result of the derma cell activeness increase the skin frame is replenished with «healthy» collagen and elastin, the quantity of hyaluronic acid content is increased and phagocytosis is intensified. Skin becomes smoother, more elastic, wrinkles disappear.

The use of placental cosmetic gives a chance to restore and prolong the youth of your skin.

Hyaluronic acid

Another important component of the LADY U cosmetic series is hyaluronic acid. As it was mentioned above, hyaluronic acid is a mucopolysaccharide with high hydrophilicity.

Hyaluronic acid content is especially high in the baby skin and progressively reduces in the course of time. Due to the high molecular mass, hyaluronic acid is not capable of penetrating through the solid barrier of epithelial cells to the derma. However, owing to the ability to keep a large amount of water, the emulsion on the basis of hyaluronic acid significantly moisturizes the skin, increasing the content of free water in the corneal layer.

Moreover, the results of scientific research enable to suggest, that the hyaluronic acid stimulates the migration of cells to the epidermis, encouraging the regeneration of damaged skin, wound healing without scars. Therefore the healthy skin becomes softer and tender. Such hydrating effect is explained by the reduction of water evaporation from the skin surface.

Collagen

Considering the changes of the skin in the course of human life raises the question: if the role of collagen in the keeping normal properties of the skin frame is so important, is there a possible way to feed the derma with it directly?

This task is complicated with the fact that collagen is a large protein molecule, which is too large to enter deep derma layers. Nevertheless, nowadays the leading laboratories have introduced the method of the collagen enzymic hydrolysis, which due to the small size and high dissolubility provides the realization of this task.

As a result of the collagen exchange acceleration skin restore its elasticity, smoothes wrinkles. Certainly, such rejuvenating effect can be attained only with a long-term use of collagen-containing masks.
