Gold, Copper, Acids, Enzymes

-Lactic Acid from passion fruit and lychee: smooths and refines the look of skin‘s texture
-Glycolic Acid from pineapple and sugar cane extract: gently exfoliates to remove dead skin cells
-Papain from papaya: further removes dead skin cells to rejuvenate the overall appearance of skin texture and radiance

ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS: The topical use of AHAs dates back to the beginning of recorded history. Traditional skin care treatments for softening skin have included milk and lemon juice, both of which contain AHAs. Since then, products comprised of AHAs have become widely used in cosmetics. AHAs have transformed the modern cosmetic market. Instead of relying on statistics, people could literally feel and see an immediate difference in their skin – a smooth, brighter complexion with a diminished appearance of unwanted wrinkles. Natural blend of AHAs are capable of improving moisturization while simultaneously increasing the production of structural components, such as collagen and glycosaminoglycan, as well as reversing cutaneous atrophy. AHA mix in The QUEEN NANI mask is the way to smooth, wrinkle-free skin, truly revealing a rejuvenated complexion!

GOLD: Used since ancient times in beauty rituals by Japanese geishas, and Egyptian royalty, gold has been revered for its ability to repair microdamaged skin, boost circulation, calm inflammations, protect skin against premature aging, and prevent the breakdown of collagen and elastin (which causes wrinkles and loss of firmness). The QUEEN NANI mask features an intelligent and safe use of gold in skin care by way of suspending mesoparticles of 0.9999 pure gold in deionized water.

COPPER: Revered for it’s healing properties as far back as 400B.C. by Hippocrates, scientists are still uncovering new information regarding the functions of copper in the human body. Modern clinical research connects topical application of copper to excellent skin health, including wrinkle reduction, improved elasticity, and increase collagen levels in the skin. Copper is an essential trace mineral that facilitates the activity of several enzymes. One of them, lysyl oxidase, is required for the cross-linking of collagen and elastin, which are essential for the formation of strong and flexible connective tissue.

POMEGRANATE: Research has shown that this exotic fruit contains compounds capable of providing intense antioxidant benefits by optimizing Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD) activity. SOD is a powerful anti­oxidant enzyme that is capable of neutralizing the super oxide anion. This anion is the most persistent type of Reac­tive Oxygen Species (ROS). It contributes to cellular damage and accelerates the pace of aging. By neutralizing this destructive free radical, SOD provides intense protection which helps to prevent damage that contributes to aging.

The ACIDS: Lactic acid is an excellent moisturizing ingredient and beneficial for most hyper-proliferate skin conditions. One of the key benefits of using lactic acid in skin care is that research has also shown it is capable of reversing cutaneous atrophy. This will help thicken the skin to create a more youthful aesthetic. Citric acid is an intermediate in the Krebs cycle and is integral for ATP production, which helps to promote healthy skin by stimulating the formation of fibrous protein. The Krebs cycle, also known as Citric Acid, occurs in the mitochondria of our cells. This cycle is responsible for metabolizing sugar intake thus breaking it into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. In skin biology, Citric Acid provides cells with a source of useable energy. This, in turn, contributes to the factors that chemically exfoliate the outer layer of the epidermis. Malic and tartaric acids also influence skin tone and have been shown to increase elasticity, which is an important factor to enhancing complexion clarity.
