Restore the glow of youthful skin with our new Luminese, an algae extract which is great for skin energizing applications, de-stressing treatments and any anti-aging product geared toward radiant and luminous skin.

This is a great product for skin cell turnover. An in vivo test was conducted with 20 volunteers applying a test treatment containing 3% Luminese for 4 weeks. It was demonstrated that Luminese significantly improves cell turnover, expressed as variation of decoloration.

The microalga Dunaliella salina is unique: it’s natural habitat is in salt lakes that have a salinity which is nine times higher than the salinity of sea water. Since Dunaliella salina is continually exposed to all kinds of stress like high osmotic pressure, high UV-levels and high oxygen levels it is considered as a stress manager. To withstand these conditions the alga needs a lot of energy and it has been found out that it has outstanding skin energizing properties. Dunaliella salina is cultivated by a special fermentation technology and it’s highly purified extract is processed to Luminese, the new innovative approach to supply the skin with new energy.

Properties:
• Luminese acts as an efficient skin energy generator and replenishes the energy stores of stressed skin which has lost it’s initial energy level.
• Luminese protects the mitochondria of the skin cells and keeps it’s functionality from being slowed from stress attacks. The skin becomes more radiant and it’s natural healthy glow is improved.

Function:
• Luminese protects and stimulates the mitochondria, the energy centers of the skin cells
• Luminese enhances the ATP-levels to provide the skin with new energy
• Luminese increases cell turnover
• Luminese improves the overall skin complexion

Cosmetic applications:
• skin energizing applications
• de-stressing treatments
• skin care geared toward improving healthy, radiant and luminous looking skin

Formulation:
Luminese is a clear yellowish liquid. It should be incorporated at the end of the formulation process (<50°C).
