InnerLift Calendula

A botanical story

The wonders of blooming beauty

CALENDULA OFFICINALIS

Calendula, also known as pot marigold, is a herbaceous plant recognized for both its beauty and beneficial properties. Native to the Mediterranean region, Calendula is admired for its magnificent golden petals, radiating like a miniature sun. Belonging to the Asteraceae family, this plant has been cherished for centuries for its medicinal and cosmetic uses. Calendula’s botanical DNA is rich in beneficial compounds such as flavonoids, carotenoids, and phenolic acids, providing the plant cells with anti-inflammatory, soothing, and regenerative properties.

Beyond its floral beauty, Calendula embodies botanical richness, offering invaluable potential to nourish and care for the skin, making it an exceptional ally in the world of natural cosmetics.

In the intricate dance of the skin’s biology, the recognition of the cellular level as the primary battleground for skin ageing is pivotal.
The stimulation of the inner skin structures becomes a proactive response, a commitment to fortifying the skin’s foundation at both dermal and epidermal levels. It’s an ode to the skin’s resilience and an acknowledgement that a well-nurtured cellular framework is an investment for ageless vitality and a radiant complexion.

INNERLIFT CALENDULA OFFERS MUCH MORE THAN JUST SKINCARE.

Exposure to harsh weather conditions, such as extreme temperatures, strong winds, or low humidity, can strip the skin of its natural moisture, leading to dehydration. Prolonged exposure to pollution, including airborne particles and environmental toxins, can contribute to oxidative stress—a process wherein free radicals damage skin cells and accelerate ageing. UV radiation from the sun is a major environmental factor that not only causes sunburn but also triggers inflammation and can lead to long-term skin damage, including the development of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation issues.

These external stressors compromise the skin’s natural defences and underscore the necessity of regenerating essential components like ceramides, collagens, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) for optimal skin health.

Considering the myriad factors at play within the skin, including endogenous elements such as genetic predispositions, hormonal fluctuations, and metabolic processes, the dynamic interplay of these endogenous factors, coupled with external stressors, underscores the complexity of skin health.

Its holistic regeneration effect works in synergy with the body’s natural mechanisms to restore the skin’s health and vitality.

COMBATTING OXIDIZED PROTEINS AND SENESCENT CELLS

In the intricate web of cellular functions, proteins emerge as the keystones, governing diverse physiological roles— from oxygen transportby haemoglobin to the structural support provided by collagen.

Oxidized proteins disrupt crucial biological mechanisms, compromising enzymatic functions, cell signalling, and cellular structure integrity. This interference extends to immune functions, gene regulation, and stress response, impacting cellular balance and contributing to pathological conditions.

Accumulation of damaged proteins, driven by oxidation and inflammation, challenges skin health, affecting the extracellular matrix (ECM) and proteasome activity.

Enter InnerLift Calendula, as a proactive guardian against diverse protein-damaging forces. The studies evaluate the impact of InnerLift Calendula on the levels of oxidized proteins.

InnerLift Calendula demonstrates a considerable antioxidant effect, evident in the reduction of oxidized proteins, thereby safeguarding cellular components.
This impact extends to enabling the correct functioning of other mechanisms, including proteasomes.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY HARMONY

Inflammation, a vital part of the body’s defence system, plays a pivotal role in recognizing, combating, and neutralizing threats. In terms of skincare, it often manifests as redness, irritation, and discomfort.

Naolys opted to investigate three inflammation mediators synthesized by keratinocytes: two cytokines and one prostaglandin, to highlight the beneficial effects of InnerLift Calendula in soothing the cellular matrix.

InnerLift Calendula demonstrates the ability to effectively inhibit irritative and inflammatory responses.
By doing so, it goes beyond mere soothing and comfort and gives the skin a healthier and more vibrant appearance.

REVITALIZING SKIN THROUGH REGENERATION AND HYDRATION

The concept of “lift” involves enhancing skin density through epidermal regeneration, facilitated by the symbiotic relationship between the papillary dermis and the epidermis. Naolys assessed the skin’s renewal process by focusing on the nuclear protein Antigen Ki-67, a marker for cell proliferation. Active Plant Cells in InnerLift Calendula play a crucial role in repairing and renewing cells, contributing to overall regeneration and optimal skin condition.

Furthermore, InnerLift Calendula reinforces the skin barrier through the differentiation of the epidermis and promotes hydration, involving proteins like loricrin and involucrin. These proteins support keratinization and cornification processes, strengthening the skin’s barrier function and enhancing moisture retention.

Additionally, InnerLift Calendula stimulates ceramide production, essential lipid molecules for the skin barrier, ensuring a well-hydrated and resilient skin matrix.

INCREASING SKIN MATRIX DENSIFICATION

Fibroblasts are key players in the maintenance and constant remodelling of the dynamic extracellular matrix (ECM).

Degradation is part of the dynamic remodelling process, allowing for the removal of old or damaged ECM elements and facilitating the incorporation of newly synthesized ones, a vital aspect of the healing process.

Fibroblasts can synthesize and secrete various components, such as collagen, elastin, and other structural proteins. Those key components play crucial roles and contribute to the renewal and maintenance of the ECM. Oxidation negatively impacts fibroblasts, impairing their functions and affecting the key components.

Naolys studied the key components of cultured human fibroblasts to investigate the ECM’s structure and function. With a particular focus on total collagen synthesis, degradation, and reconstruction, which enables the skin to adapt to ageing, environmental damage, and other factors.

InnerLift Calendula plays a crucial role in maintaining skin quality by boosting key ECM components. It becomes possible to effectively support skin firmness, hydration, and elasticity, enabling the skin to adapt to ageing.

The innovative multi-pronged approach of intelligent cellular stimulation, exemplified by InnerLift Calendula, not only addresses senescent and oxidized proteins, its fosters regeneration and hydration, and remodels the extracellular matrix, but also showcases potent anti-inflammatory properties.
