Wheat protein

proteine-del-granoHydrolyzated wheat protein

Wheat or bran, is a plant belonging to the Graminaceae family. Grown for the first time in the Euphrates basin approximately 9000 years ago, wheat is grown virtually the whole world over. The most important producers are Russia, the United States, China and India. Hydrolysed wheat protein are natural derivatives of wheat grain and constitutes a unique moisturisingcomplex able to penetrate within the skin structures, binding water and offering filming properties and a correct moisture balance to the skin. Hydrolysed wheat protein is also used to prepare shampoos and shower gels due to its capacity to reduce the irritating power of the surfactants.

Sage

Sage (Salvia officinalis L., Lamiaceae family) is a small evergreen shrub that is characteristic of Southern Europe; in Italy it grows wild in central-Southern areas and on the islands. The name of this plant bears witness to the virtues assigned to it by the ancient Romans: the word sage in fact shares the root of the verb “to save” and the word “salus” (salvation or health). Sage extract and the essential oil obtained from the leaves are used in cosmetics for their antiseptic, healing and astringent properties, characteristics that are very useful in treating excess sweating. The variety referred to as Salvia Sclarea is a plant that shows good toningstimulating and bactericide properties. It is used in oral hygiene products, in deodorising products against excessive sweating and for skin mycosis, alopecia and poor hair growth, as it improves the condition of the scalp.

 

Milk protein

Milk protein has been used for years due to its particular affinity with skin protein, in order to develop moisturising, restorative cosmetics. This protein acts by supporting and maintaining cell vitality in the skin cells, activating the cell metabolism and collagen synthesis. The cell regenerative effect will therefore result in increased skin elasticity and epidermal thickness. Skin will be more toned and moisturised, more elastic and vital.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L., Pedaliaceae family) is a herbaceous plant that originates from the West Indies. Refined sesame oil is light yellow in colour, is odourless and has a pleasant, characteristic flavour. In addition to its traditional use in food, it is also used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic sector. Obtained by cold pressing the plant seeds, Sesame oil has excellent emollient, antioxidant, sebum restoring and skin soothing properties. It has a large quantity of essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6). It also contains group B vitamins as well as vitamins E, D and PP. External use of sesame oil is therefore helpful in treating irritations as well as skin dryness and lack of tone. On hair, it helps give tone and vitality, nourishing and restoring the hair fibre.
