Marine Botanicals & Wheat Amino Acids

One of the most effective actives that will either prevent or speed up the healing of dehydrated, oily, or congested skin through the delivery of their high percentage of amino acids and oligo minerals to strengthen the elastin and collagen fibers.

When stress or unhealthy conditions are present in the dermis, the elastin and collagen fibers weaken and contribute to premature aging, wrinkles, flabby, and/or congested skin.

Due to the presence of polysaccarides, these actives are excellent moisturizers.

These ingredients leave a nice feel on the skin once the product has been absorbed.
