Natural Skin Care Serum: Helix Aspersa Müller GlycoConjugates
Many people today are concerned about their health They want to avoid serious health problems such as obesity, heart disease and cancer so they do everything that they can to avoid these illnesses
They exercise, watch what they eat, and never smoke or drink to excess. But, even the most careful, health-conscious person may not know that the natural skincare products that they use on their bodies may actually be harmful to their health.
People read the words: natural skincare and they immediately equate the term "natural" with safe. But, this isn't the case. If you read the label on some of the most popular skincare products you might find one or more of the following listed as one of the ingredients:
Acrylamide
Ethanolamines (diethanolamine, monoethanolamine, triethanolamine)
Parabens (ethyl, butyl, methyl etc.)
Polyethylene
All of these chemicals are suspected carcinogens (cancer causing substances). If you are doing everything you can to stay healthy and live longer; why would you want to use these products?
Along with known or suspected carcinogens; some natural skincare products also contain alcohol, (specifically methyl, isopropyl, SD, benzyl and ethanol) and/or mineral oil and fragrance. While not as dangerous as the other things each of these have a negative impact on the body as well. Alcohol strips away the body''s natural oils causing the skin to become dry.
Sure, it's not always easy to find ALL natural products where every one of the ingredients are safe, harmless, meaning that they haven't been produced in a lab somewhere, without side effects and are totally compatible with our biology.
Skin care is important to us because our skin defines who we are and what image we portray. Skin problems can seriously affect every area of our lives, and the need for natural skin care solutions is a necessity and is solved by a humble little creature: the brown garden snail.
The Garden Snail has a Powerful Immune Ammunition
If you look at the life of a land snail, specifically the species Helix Aspersa Müller, you'd see that their life isn't easy. Each day their delicate skin and shell are exposed to the sun's harmful UV rays, pollution and possible infectious germs always ready to thrive in moist skin; they have to travel over unpleasant territory including sharp rocks; and they have to avoid predators, too.
So what is their defense mechanism? They secrete a special serum that not only protects them from the effects of solar radiation but heals any cuts or abrasions and is able to regenerate and rejuvenate their skin, shell and occasionally tentacles and eyes quickly and without scarring.
As humans, when we receive a cut or are exposed to germs or bacteria, our immune system kicks in to protect ourselves from within, but snails react in a slightly different way. In order to protect themselves from skin dangers, their immune system produces a serum that bathes the living creature to moisturize and at the same time protect the skin with antimicrobial peptides, antioxidants that scavenge free radicals, and molecules that activate the regeneration, rebuilding or renewal of whatever cells and structures that may have been damaged.
Snail Skin is Similar To Human Skin
Scientists have concluded that the structural elements of our skin are similar to the snail's skin. Because of this, the serum that snails produce will have similar restoring effects on human skin from the outside in. Your skin won't reject the powerful serum but will welcome its healing properties as it strengthens your body's ability to ingest and kill infectious germs, gets rid of damaged cells, and restores balance to skin that has been previously disturbed by a wide variety of irritants or disorders.
The Benefits of Snail Serum
Research has proven that this gentle, but very potent serum, can thoroughly maintain healthy skin as well as improving cell function by the action of its antioxidants; help to reduce and avoid excess or abnormal scars by the action of its enzymes; prevent and repair sun damage, thus preventing premature wrinkles and skin aging; accelerate the renewal of damaged tissues like actinic keratosis and skin affected by keratosis pilaris; activate skin regeneration during wound healing; strengthen skin and restore tissue plasticity and elasticity; and fight acne and other skin infections.
Snail Secretions Can't be Replicated
Chemists are not yet able to effectively create a skin regenerative solution in the laboratory, at least nothing comparable to the complex serum secreted by this living creature's immune system. This should come as no surprise for the creature’s immune system has been capable of generating tremendous chemical diversity through the processes of genetic recombination and somatic mutation in order to thrive and adapt to harsh environments, predators and the threats posed by germs and bacteria, and this is why they have survived for billions of years because it has been a question of life or death. Hence, the snail's serum is currently the best biological solution for skin regeneration and healthier skin.
The additional ingredients in all of our skin care products containing the natural serum, even those ingredients we use for preserving the creams from yeasts and micro-organisms that can come from you dipping your hands into it, are from botanical origin, and have been selected because they are completely compatible with our delicate human biology. There are no side effects or allergic reactions so all you'll experience is healthier looking skin.
Don''t let your hard work go to waste by applying natural skin care products that contain harmful, possibly carcinogenic chemicals to your body. Instead, choose natural skincare that is free from all these harmful substances and only contain ingredients proven to be truly safe and effective.
Helix Aspersa Müller GlycoConjugates is a biological compound produced inside the cells of the snail of the aforementioned species. We gather it from live snails as they produce them, and we immediately homogenize and stabilize it to avoid hydrolysis of its enzymes and proteins.
The biological active is embedded in liposomes. Those are microscopic "fat" vessels that are food for cells and are thus readily taken in by the them carrying the ingredient within the nucleous of cells and triggering the proliferation of fibroblasts, the cells that give rise to connective tissues and all the structures present in the skin matrix.
The compound is a complex of biological molecular structures: proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, enzymes, copper peptides, antimocrobial peptides and oligoelements (Copper, Zinc, Calcium, Iron some of which act as coenzymes).
Other ingredients - added to transform a fluid into a cream, and with complementary benefits.
Knowing how to understand a list of ingredients is hard, but even if it doesn’t detail specifically what percentage of each ingredient was used to create the product, it is a far more reliable source of information than the product's specifications and claims. Thus, further below we take a detailed look first at the organic ingredient and then at the rest of the ingredients we use, mainly to transform a viscose fluid that regulates the orchestrated regeneration of damaged skin cells and protects the skin, into a gentle balm with enhanced moisturizing properties.
The full ingredient list is: (1) Water; (2) Olive Oil emulsifier, surfactant, and squalene derivatives that replenish the lipid content of the skin blocking the penetration of allergens and toxins and act as antioxidants; (3) Helix Aspersa Müller Glycoconjugates, the richest biological adaptogen for healthy skin yet known, created by a living creature to function as a biological antimicrobial, inflammatory-moderator, antioxidant, moisturizer & trigger of scarless healing & skin regeneration; (4) Rose Hip Seed Oil; (5) Bee Balm, Monarda Dydima, a native american botanical for its adaptogen or immune support properties; (6) Hyaluronic Acid moisturizer a naturally occuring skin substance capable of holding more water than any other known hydrator; (7) Glycerin; (8) Seaweed Extract a rich source of oligoelements that are necessary for cellular growth, (9) Panax Gingsen Root Extract for its adaptogen properties; (10) Licorice Extract a botanical adaptogen with powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-irritant effects. It is good for sensitive skin, and helpful in dermatitis; (11) A balanced and safe preservative made with Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin; and nothing else.
The BIOLOGICAL Ingredient
Further below we look first at the biological ingredient and then at the other ingredients we use, mainly to transform a viscose fluid that regulates the orderly regeneration of damaged skin cells and protects the skin, into a pleasant cream-gel or balm with enhanced moisturizing properties.
The primary element in all our products is the serum produced abundantly by land snails of the species Helix Aspersa Müller whenever they are stressed. Stress makes them produce a gluey liquid element to shield, hydrate, heal and renew its skin. This is also secreted by the snail for many other natural functions, albeit with a different molecular arrangement or a diverse proportion of its molecular components. The complex elements the secretion encloses have been thoroughly studied and you can read all about them by following the links under the title Helix Aspersa Muller Secretion.
How do we collect this rich substance? We use a method that is completely inoffensive for the snails, while it allows us to gather it PURE as it is abundantly being secreted by the snails, and undiluted in water to avoid the destruction of its enzymes and other molecules by hydrolysis.
Hydrolysis: A chemical response in which water reacts with an element to produce other compounds; involves the splitting of a bond and the addition of the hydrogen cation and the hydroxide anion from the water and results in the formation of one or more new compounds that do not have the same properties of the original substance.
We also embed the organic ingredient in a liposome, a microscopic, liquid-filled pouch whose surface is made of layers of phospholipids identical to the ones existent in cell membranes. Liposomes are employed to distribute certain vaccines, enzymes, or drugs (e.g., insulin and some cancer drugs) to the body. Liposomes attach to cellular walls and seem to combine with them, delivering their contents into the cell. Sometimes they are taken up by the cell, and the phospholipids are incorporated into the cellular membrane while the ingredient (glycoprotein enzyme) it contained is discharged.
