Many changes occur as we age; processes such as cell turnover and desquamation slow down and continue their gradual decline. The production of collagen is reduced and eventually the epidermis begins to thin. Degradation processes cause a further decline in the production of collagen and elastin. Hyaluronic acid and lipid production is also reduced. If you would like to find out more about peptides, their structure, and use in cosmetics, see The formulator’s guide to natural peptides. Our formulation is for a light, but nourishing face cream with peptides and enriching botanical oils and is lightly scented with lavender and rosemary. It is an ideal face cream to use at night after cleansing so the hero ingredients can really go to work in helping replenish mature and/or dry skin.

Fagus Sylvatica increases cellular oxygen uptake, boosts protein synthesis by keratinocytes, improves cutaneous moisturisation and smoothens the skin This peptide ingredient is isolated from the fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae which is a single-celled yeast organism. Although it was thought to be a very simple organism, it seems to have developed a series of mechanisms to protect itself from oxidative stress and extreme temperature conditions.As a result, structural changes like sagging and wrinkles become more visible and can sometimes cause the skin to look worn out. Our aim when creating skincare products is to make us feel and look more confident, healthy and happy with ourselves regardless of our age. Why use peptides in skincare? Into the mixture of phase ABC, add the beaker containing phase D and mix using the mini whisk until there is no phase D liquid visible.

In a separate beaker, weigh out phase B and heat to 75-80°C until everything has melted and combined. Yeast isolates have been known to be used for their anti-irritant properties and have also been shown to increase intracellular respiration and improve intracellular metabolism. FSS Hexapeptide 1 (see our list of suggested suppliers below) is used in natural skincare products and is a peptide that has a six amino acid sequence. These types of peptides are used to improve skin hydration, stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis and to reduce the visible signs of wrinkles, dark spots and eye puffiness. In the past, so-called ‘anti-ageing’ skincare products were used in an attempt to reverse the signs of ageing and grasp onto a youthful appearance. As wonderful as many high-performance cosmetic ingredients are, they cannot work miracles. Ageing is an inevitable part of life. This is something the American writer Betty Frieden was well aware of when she said that ageing is not lost youth, but a new stage of opportunity and strength.

In a separate beaker, weigh out C1, add C2 and mix using a glass rod and then add C3 and mix again using glass rod. Set beaker to one side.

Other factors alongside natural ageing can contribute to this process and even trigger premature ageing. Extrinsic factors affecting skin ageing include our lifestyle choices (for instance, smoking is said to have a detrimental impact on the skin), and exposure to UV radiation which has been shown to have a negative effect on the skin leading to the occurrence of age spots and uneven pigmentation.
