Our luxurious anti-aging hand cream is designed to provide immediate and long-lasting care for even the most sensitive skin. With a unique blend of natural ingredients and active substances, it ensures intensive hydration, protection, and repair.

Ectoin (0.5%)
Ectoin is a naturally occurring amino acid belonging to the group of extremolytes – molecules known for their ability to protect cells under extreme environmental conditions such as high salinity, heat, and UV radiation. Ectoin forms a protective water layer around cells, proteins, and enzymes, which stabilizes the cell membrane and reduces oxidative stress, which can otherwise lead to inflammation and premature aging of the skin. Clinical studies have shown that Ectoin, at a concentration of just 0.5%, can improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkle depth and skin roughness, making it an effective anti-aging component.

In addition, Ectoin possesses powerful anti-inflammatory properties, similar to hydrocortisone, but without the side effects. This makes it particularly suitable for soothing irritated and damaged skin, for example in atopic dermatitis and eczema. Ectoin is also known for its ability to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), ensuring long-lasting moisture and protection against external stressors such as pollution and UV radiation. This multi-functional effect makes Ectoin ideal for hand creams, as it protects, moisturizes and regenerates the skin.

Sodium PCA
Sodium PCA, also known as Sodium Pyrrolidone Carboxylate, is a natural humectant derived from L-glutamic acid, an essential amino acid in the skin. This ingredient is a key component of the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF), which plays a crucial role in maintaining the skin's moisture balance. Sodium PCA is able to attract and retain water from the environment, binding up to 70% of its own weight in water, even under very dry conditions.

As part of the NL-50 complex, Sodium PCA acts as an effective moisturizer, preventing dryness and improving skin elasticity. It quickly penetrates the skin, where it helps retain moisture, ensuring a fresh and supple skin surface. Sodium PCA's ability to absorb and bind water makes it particularly suitable for cosmetic products such as creams and lotions, where it helps prevent the skin's natural moisture loss and leaves the skin smooth and hydrated.

Panthenol
Panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, is a well-known ingredient in skincare due to its moisturizing and soothing properties. In the skin, panthenol is converted into pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), which is crucial for skin regeneration and repair. This ingredient promotes the skin's ability to attract and retain moisture, resulting in softer, more elastic skin.

Panthenol is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for treating dry, irritated, and damaged skin. It can penetrate deep into the skin and promote healing of damage such as cracks and wounds, making it perfect for a hand cream. Regular use of products containing panthenol can reduce redness, scaling, and irritation, making the skin more resistant to external factors such as cold and wind.

Chamomile extract
Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, also known as Roman chamomile extract, is a well-known ingredient in skincare due to its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Chamomile contains a number of active compounds, including flavonoids and essential oils, which help reduce redness, irritation, and inflammation in the skin. It is particularly suitable for sensitive and dry skin, as it acts both as a softener and moisturizer.

The reason why Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract is included in the hand cream is its ability to:
Soothing irritated skin: It helps reduce redness and irritation, which is important for hands that are often exposed to environmental influences such as cold, wind, or frequent hand washing. Moisturizing and protecting the skin: Chamomile helps maintain the skin's moisture balance and strengthens the skin barrier, which counteracts dryness and cracking. Preventing inflammatory reactions: With its anti-inflammatory properties, it helps reduce the risk of inflammatory reactions that can occur on damaged or irritated skin. In hand cream, it therefore acts as a protective and restorative ingredient that helps keep hands soft and healthy, while relieving discomfort caused by dryness and irritation.

Natural Vitamin E
A powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals and premature aging. It helps maintain the skin's natural moisture level, making it particularly suitable for dry and irritated skin, such as that which can occur with eczema and keratosis pilaris. Tocopherol also promotes the healing of damaged skin and strengthens the skin's natural barrier, reducing the risk of further irritation and dryness.

Nutritious fatty acids
The medium-chain natural fatty acids are known for their silky-smooth texture and non-greasy feel. This ingredient is known for its moisturizing properties without feeling greasy on the skin. The fatty acids are quickly absorbed, leaving the skin silky soft. This oil forms a protective layer on the skin's surface, which helps prevent water loss and thus contributes to the skin's moisture-retaining properties.
