Glow Protocol

Omegia® - The foundation radiance stands on.

A certified organic oil extract from sea buckthorn seeds and berries, sourced from the ultra-clean regions of the Tibetan Plateau, delivering a balanced complex of multi-omega acids (3-6-7-9), including the rare, hard-to-source omega-7, together with other natural bioactive substances (beta-carotene, vitamin E, phytosterols). It nourishes the epidermal barrier, smoothing its surface and supporting its capacity to hold water. In the formula it serves both as an active ingredient and as the matrix in which the remaining lipophilic actives are dissolved.

The epidermal barrier holds an important place in the idea of skin longevity. It is the foundation of the skin’s ability to withstand external influences over time. The better it is maintained, the slower the secondary consequences of its weakening progress: dryness, sensitivity, loss of resilience to environmental factors, intensifying inflammation.

Lycomato® - The concentrated power of tomato bioactives.

A standardized extract from ripe, red tomatoes, containing a synergistic complex of lycopene together with its naturally occurring companion carotenoids - phytoene and phytofluene - and other bioactive substances. Lycopene is one of the strongest natural substances at neutralizing singlet oxygen, one of the most aggressive forms of oxygen. In the skin it accumulates both in the epidermis and in the deeper dermis, where among other things it protects against UV-induced collagen breakdown and other aging processes. Phytoene and phytofluene, the colorless relatives of lycopene, have a unique ability to absorb light in the UVB spectrum, raising the skin’s natural resilience to the sun.

Lyc-O-Lutein® - An inner light filter.

A standardized extract from the petals of the marigold flower (Tagetes erecta), containing natural lutein and zeaxanthin - synergistic yellow carotenoids in the biologically optimal 5:1 ratio. These are the same compounds the eye accumulates in the macula lutea as a natural filter of high-energy blue light (HEV). The skin uses the same protective mechanism. Lutein and zeaxanthin also take part in building a healthy complexion, and thanks to their unique structure they anchor into the cell membrane at an angle, protecting it in places inaccessible to other antioxidants.

Algamo® - A premium-strength natural antioxidant for skin longevity.

Certified organic astaxanthin in its natural form, sourced from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae. In laboratory tests astaxanthin neutralizes singlet oxygen up to 6000× more effectively than vitamin C and 550× more effectively than vitamin E⁷. It owes this to its unique structure: it spans the entire cell membrane, reaching both its outer, aqueous surface and its inner, lipid core at once, whereas a typical antioxidant works in only one of those environments.

At the molecular level it activates the Nrf2 pathway (described in science as a regulator of healthy cellular aging), modulates FOXO3 (one of only two genes with a confirmed influence on human longevity) and supports mitochondrial function⁸.
