Living Nature night-time products have demonstrated their advanced effectiveness to maximise the healing and renewing processes of the human skin.
In-vitro tests performed by renowned Italian biological analysis body, ABICH Laboratories, confirmed that the five advanced, all-natural formulations maximise the repairing processes that take place during sleep – which is when our skin naturally performs its healing functions.
The ABICH results conclusively demonstrated that the
Living Nature night-time products tested:
Help the skin behave like formative, younger skin by effectively speeding up the renewing and repairing processes that slow down as we age
Assist with repairing the damage done to the skin during the day, i.e. free radical damage, loss of moisture and UV damage
Promote cell repair and bring fresher, younger-looking skin to the surface
The five Living Nature night-time products tested to date are:
Living Nature Radiance Night Oil - for youthful looking skin
Living Nature Balancing Night Gel - to nourish and rejuvenate
Living Nature Nourishing Night Cream - nutrient-rich to feed skin
Living Nature Firming Flax Cream - to soften lines
Living Nature Hydrating Gel Mask - to enrich skin and replenish moisture
The assays carried out were as follows:
Stimulation/inhibition of human fibroblast proliferation
Hyaluronic acid synthesis
Wound repair (vascular regeneration activity)
Antioxidant activity
NOTES:
Fibroblasts are a type of cell and provide a structural framework for many tissues in the human body. Fibroblasts are responsible for the production of collagen and elastin and also play an important role in wound healing.
Hyaluronic Acid is naturally produced within the skin and gives firmness and internal protection against moisture loss. As skin ages, it becomes thinner and is more easily damaged - intensifying this is the skin's decreasing ability to heal itself. Increase in the synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid assists the skin's ability to repair and rejuvenate.
A healthy vascular network within the skin is important for a healthy complexion. As we age the skin's vascular network declines and needs more stimulation to assist with repair. This can affect blood flow, nutrient exchange, temperature regulation, skin complexion and healing.
Oxidative stress has been identified to play a key role in the development of age-related skin conditions. Exposure to UVA rays and pollutants, compounded by poor diet can increase the level of oxidative stress within the body and skin, resulting in the formation of reactive oxygen species. ROS can cause damage to both cell membranes and DNA.
RESULTS:
An outline of the ABICH clinical results:
Fibroblasts are shown to be stimulated by up to 31 per cent over a 48 hour period with the use of Living Nature Nourishing Night Cream.
Living Nature Nourishing Night Cream increases the synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid by fibroblast cells by up to 72 per cent after a 48 hour exposure period.
Living Nature Radiance Night Oil increases the synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid by fibroblast cells by up to 43 per cent after a 72 hour exposure period.
Living Nature Radiance Night Oil is active in inhibiting the production of reactive oxygen species induced through UVA exposure.
Living Nature Hydrating Gel Mask increases the synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid by fibroblast cells by up to 68 per cent after a 48 hour exposure period.
The ABICH clinical trials on human vascular cells indicate that Living Nature Hydrating Gel Mask is proactive in maintaining and stimulating vascular health and the repair of damaged skin.
Living Nature Firming Flax Cream increases the synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid by fibroblast cells by up to 86 per cent 48 hours after exposure.
Living Nature Firming Flax Cream is active in inhibiting the production of reactive oxygen species induced through UVA exposure.
The ABICH trials on human vascular cells indicate that Living Nature Balancing Night Gel is proactive in maintaining and stimulating vascular health and the repair of damaged skin.
ABICH Laboratories are renowned for their progressive methodologies, and they have developed a wide range of alternative in-vitro tests that replace the use of animals for large-consume product testing. These assays employ cell cultures and reconstituted human epidermis to mimic the human skin's behavior and responses, and this allows true investigation of the toxicological profile and the biological activity of products aimed at human use.
