Why Do Wrinkles Form?

Wrinkles are an inevitable part of aging, but understanding why they form is key to preventing and minimizing them effectively. Skin aging is driven by both intrinsic factors (natural aging processes) and extrinsic factors (environmental aggressors).

1. Intrinsic Aging: As we age, our skin’s collagen and elastin production declines. Collagen is the protein responsible for maintaining skin’s structure and firmness, while elastin ensures flexibility and resilience. After the age of 25, collagen production decreases by approximately 1% per year, leading to gradual thinning of the skin and increased susceptibility to fine lines.

2. Extrinsic Aging: External factors such as UV exposure, pollution, harsh weather, stress, and inflammation accelerate skin aging. UV radiation is the primary culprit, responsible for up to 80% of visible aging through the breakdown of collagen and the formation of free radicals. Environmental stressors trigger oxidative stress and chronic low-grade inflammation, further weakening the skin’s barrier function and increasing the appearance of wrinkles.

3. The Skin Barrier’s Role: The outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, acts as a defense mechanism, protecting against dehydration and external damage. When this barrier is compromised, whether due to irritants, pollution, harsh skincare products, or natural aging, skin becomes more prone to redness, irritation, sensitivity, and premature aging. Restoring and reinforcing the skin barrier is essential to keeping skin youthful and healthy.

How Defensil®-Plus Restores and Protects the Skin

Defensil®-Plus is a scientifically advanced active complex designed to combat extrinsic aging. This innovative ingredient blend works by calming stressed skin, strengthening the skin barrier, and reducing reactions that accelerate aging.

What is Defensil®-Plus Made Of?

Defensil®-Plus is derived from three key botanical ingredients, carefully selected for their anti-inflammatory and barrier-repairing properties:

• Echium Oil: This oil is exceptionally rich in stearidonic acid (SDA), a rare omega-3 fatty acid that supports the regeneration of the skin’s protective barrier. It helps restore lipid balance, improving the skin’s natural ability to retain moisture.

• Sunflower Oil Concentrate: A powerful source of linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid), which plays a crucial role in reinforcing the skin’s lipid barrier. It helps prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL), keeping skin hydrated and resilient.

• Cardiospermum Halicacabum Extract: Also known as balloon vine extract, this botanical is renowned for its soothing and anti-itch properties. It works by reducing skin hypersensitivity and calming redness.

How is Defensil®-Plus Made?

The production of Defensil®-Plus involves a biotechnological extraction process to maximize the potency of its botanical ingredients while ensuring optimal skin compatibility. Each ingredient undergoes a specialized extraction method:

• Cold-Pressed Extraction for Echium Oil: This method preserves the highest concentration of omega-3 fatty acids, ensuring the oil retains its powerful properties.

• Purification of Sunflower Oil: The sunflower oil undergoes a refinement process to isolate and concentrate the most beneficial active compounds, ensuring maximum efficacy in barrier repair.

• Standardized Bioactive Extraction for Cardiospermum: This process ensures consistent potency, allowing for reliable calming benefits in every batch.

By carefully combining these ingredients, Defensil®-Plus creates a highly effective soothing and repairing complex that works at multiple levels to strengthen and rejuvenate the skin.
