Cistus from Crete

In Ancient Greece, Cistus Ladanifer, commonly known as rock rose or Labdanum, held a revered position in skincare practices. Renowned for its remarkable skin benefits, this botanical extract was prized for its ability to promote a clear, radiant complexion. Ancient Greeks often incorporated Cistus Ladanifer into their skincare rituals, harnessing its natural properties to soothe, nourish, and rejuvenate the skin. Whether used in balms, oils, or facial masks, Cistus Ladanifer played a significant role in maintaining skin health and enhancing beauty in the ancient world.

Hero Ingredients

Green Tea extract inhibits key MMP subtypes (collagenase and elastase) at low concentrations, protecting skin's collagen structure.

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) from Green Tea, Sesame oil, and a Vitamin E + C complex from Shea Butter create a protective barrier against collagen breakdown and DNA damage by neutralizing free radicals from UV radiation, air pollution, and smoking.

Organic Cistus Ladanifer hydrosol, enriched with Hyaluronic Acid, effectively reduces wrinkles by plumping skin cells and increasing fibroblast viability to boost collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production. Enhances skin tissue consistency and density, restoring elasticity and providing lasting moisture.

Sesamin from sesame seeds, combined with Rice Bran oil, rich in inositol and gamma oryzanol, delivers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits while nourishing the skin’s natural barrier.

Under My Skin

What is the significance of balanced matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) expression in the skin?

Balanced matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) expression is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the skin matrix, which consists mainly of collagen and elastin. MMPs are enzymes responsible for breaking down damaged or worn-out skin matrix, and when their activity is not regulated, it can lead to skin imperfections.

What are some solution steps to achieve balanced MMP expression and promote skin health?

Solution steps include using antioxidants to fight reactive oxygen species (free radicals) damage, inhibiting MMP enzymes, increasing fibroblast activity, and boosting anti-inflammatory activity. These measures help maintain the balance between MMP expression and skin matrix synthesis, promoting healthier and more resilient skin.

How does Cistus Ladanifer contribute to maintaining balanced matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) expression in the skin?

Cistus Ladanifer provides comprehensive support for skin health by offering antioxidant protection against oxidative stress, reducing inflammation, and promoting a balanced expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). With its beneficial properties, regular use of Cistus Ladanifer helps sustain a resilient and youthful-looking complexion, ensuring enduring skin vitality and radiance.
