As medical science unravels the many mysteries of the way the human body constantly regenerates, we can apply this knowledge in certain areas such as skin care to attempt to assist the regeneration and repair process.

We have seen how science has given the human body a helping hand in so many areas of both cosmetic care and healthcare.

By constantly studying the latest research data, cosmetic chemists are able, where possible, to incorporate the latest breakthroughs into the formulations of skincare products. Tripeptides are one of these breakthroughs.

Much of the new anti-ageing treatment technology focuses on compounds called
tripeptides. Many medical experts involved in peptide research state there is ample science behind the tripeptide - anti-wrinkle technology.

Tripeptides are a chain of amino acids that act as chemical messengers throughout the body. These peptides are considered the future of cosmeceutical formulations, and they take their cue from research in wound healing, much like copper peptides and vitamin K, among others. These powerful proteins are a group of amino acids that have been proven to promote collagen and elastin production while strengthening the
essential structural matrix of the skin tissue.

Initially, the research on tri and pentapeptides (strands or groups of amino acids) was done in relation to wound healing. As part of the body’s natural response to help skin heal, published studies showed natural peptides are instrumental in increasing cells in the skin to produce more collagen.

But collagen isn’t just for healing cuts and scrapes. It also plays an important role in how skin ages. Collagen supports the structure that gives our skin a firm, young appearance. When levels remain plentiful our skin looks young and fresh. When levels decline, we lose that support and wrinkles begin to form, giving a prematurely aged look.

Tri-Pentox products utilise the scientific knowledge of research and the skill of cosmetic skin care chemists to bring cutting-edge anti-ageing products to the market.

The most important ingredient in Tri-Pentox are tripeptides, these have been shown to help increase the production of collagen. Collagen is the ‘matrix’ that gives skin its form, shape and elasticity. Obviously, this is of paramount importance in considering how we look.

A complex blending of other powerful ingredients such as Spring Sea water are present. Spring Sea water has been shown to optimise the skin water balance. It also lowers trans epidermal water loss by stimulating production of skin lipids by 45%. It also improves the circulation of water in the skin by increasing the number of
epidermal links by 96%. This is significant. There are also a number of differing wonderful skin moisturisers and emollients such as cocoa butter, shea butter, aloe vera and jojoba oil. These are also extremely important for introducing moisture into the skin. Dry skin ages very quickly, producing those tell-tale wrinkles.

By introducing Tri-Pentox products into your daily beauty regime you can be confident that your skin will benefit from both nature and the science and technology of skin care. The results will be plain to see!
