Ingredients
Through meticulous study and research, NEOVA Ingredients are proven to work beautifully together to create and re-create healthy skin. Protected by novel mechanisms of action and patented delivery systems, our active ingredients get right to the site of all major environmentally triggered damage.
We stay far away from known allergens, irritants, parabens and fragrances.
Just astonishing second chances for skin.
Key Performance Ingredients
Plankton Extract, Photolyase encapsulated in Photolysomes, a DNA repair plankton derivative, powered by visible light is unique in its ability to undo DNA damage in cells and prevent cell death. Clinical studies have shown Photolysomes produce significant 45% reduction in UV-induced DNA damage on contact.
Micrococcus Lysate Extract, encapsulated Endosomes, from the DNA repairing endonuclease stimulates
and intensifies the skin’s ability to repair and remove UV-inflicted DNA damage within 4-6 hours.
Arabidopsis Thalania, encapsulated Mitosomes, the DNA repair enzyme extracted from a tiny mustard plant, recognizes the most common form of DNA oxidative damage and initiates its removal process to protect the energy center of the cell. Clinical studies show Mitosomes eliminate >90% of damage in 2 hours.
Evodia Rutaecarpa [Evodiox], an elixir derived from the active components from the Evodia fruit, has been shown in laboratory studies to inhibit inflammation, soothe aggravated skin and redness reaction after irritant exposure in 90 minutes.
L-ergothioneine [EGT}, an exclusive and maximized natural amino acid, minimizes the formation of various ROS and protects cells from UV-induced damage, through its powerfully intense antioxidant activity. Laboratory Studies show that skin cells recognize, transport and utilize L-ergothioneine as a protector against oxidative damage faster and more efficiently than other studied antioxidants in reducing reactive oxygen species.
Copper Peptide Complex®, also known as Bis (Tripeptide-1) Copper Acetate, an exclusive delivery system that uses the body’s natural protective carrier to dispatch proprietary copper peptides, an essential micronutrient for skin health and strength, for maximum restorative benefits.
DNA CoFactor, the patented DNA repair and signature copper peptide technologies, unite DNA Repair enzymes to excise damage then up-regulate the skin’s natural repair mechanisms as Copper Peptide Complex restores the skin’s ability to self-correct and build tensile strength – it’s like having two hyper-charged correctors in one.
Supporting Ingredients
Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine [UDP] inhibits the production and synthesis of melanin which stops uneven pigmentation issues, such as melasma, discolorations and solar lentigos in its tracks. In Laboratory Studies, UDP was the only agent that had a measurable lightening effect at the surface of the skin starting in 7 days, showed a 9% increase in luminosity and a 29% reduction in melanization.
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate [HPR], is directly related and similarly active to retinoic acid and needs no conversion in the body to activate and work its magic but without the irritation. In Laboratory Studies, HPR has been shown to significantly lower irritation than other forms of retinol a dramatic reduction of lines and wrinkles when applied twice a day for 14 days.
Sodium Hyaluronate, powerful humectant floods skin with hydration and helps strengthen the natural moisture barrier. Its work to replenish the skin’s reservoir and helps maintain a visually healthy appearance.
Hyaluronic Acid [Hydrolyzed], a very low molecular weight, tight junction strengthening Hyaluronic Acid supplying hydration into the skin. With the ability to fill wrinkles from the inside out, HPR also contributes significantly to the elasticity of the skin.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 [Argireline®], an amino acid chain that prevents dynamic wrinkles from forming by specifically and temporarily interfering with nerve and muscle contraction crosstalk. The result: fewer muscle contractions, result in fewer wrinkles
Gallate Blend improves under eye microcirculation making it dark circles’ eraser, its de-puffing agent and instant soother.
Caprooyl Tripeptide-3 stimulates the production of key components at the dermal junction to visibly rejuvenate aging skin. In Laboratory Studies, the compound dramatically reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in just 28 days.
Ceramide Blend, a precise compilation of lipid molecules – the building blocks of the structure and function of cells -- it strengthens skin structure and forms a solid protective layer for moisture retention.
Saccharomyces Lysate, belonging to a class of yeasts, is known for its ability to improve skin absorption, add beneficial nutrients, decrease irritation and optimize cellular oxygen consumption – which helps to prevent formation of ROS and insures proper functioning of the cells’ energy center.
Mandelic Acid, an Alpha Hyrdoxy Acid [AHA], exfoliates by accelerating cell turnover and, therefore, improving skin tone and texture. Its larger molecular size makes it particularly effective for sensitive skins without triggering redness or flakiness.
Glycolic Acid, known as the workhorse of Alpha Hydroxy Acids [AHA], it is favored for its tiny molecular structure making it quick and agile to penetrate and accelerate the body’s natural exfoliation. Recently researchers discovered it to be instrumental in undoing up to 90% of sun damage which could lead to skin cancer.
Salicylic Acid, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), known for its clarifying influence on troubled skin. Brilliantly effective in stimulating cell turnover and unclogging pores, it’s a must-have ingredient for blemished skins.
Hydroquinone, a gold standard topical skin-lightening agent, interferes with melanin production and interrupts the formation of hyperpigmentation, including melasma, age spots, lentigines and acne scars.
A must: concurrent use of an SPF 30 or above sunscreen.
Ascorbyl palmitate, a stable, lipid soluble form of vitamin C known for its ability to defend against free radicals, stimulate structural proteins in connective tissue and reduce the signs of hyperpigmentation.
