What is Pracaxi Seed Oil?

Pracaxi Seed Oil is a powerhouse of benefits, comes from Pentaclethra macroloba, a hyper-dominant tree of the Amazon rainforest. It is rich in Retinoid (a derivative of vitamin A), well known for its anti-aging benefits & skin restoration ability. It has Vitamin F (made up of Two Fats), which helps repair the skin barrier. It is also known as Liquid Gold as it has the highest concentration of Behenic Acid, which helps keep hydration levels in check.

Why is it called Liquid Gold?

Pracaxi Seed Oil is also known as Liquid Gold because of its unique composition of a group of fatty acids that hydrate extremely dry skin by preserving moisture and maintaining high water retention capacity and skin integrity.It has a high concentration of behenic acid, a saturated fatty acid with excellent moisturizing & hydrating properties, and acts as a natural humectant that retains and prevents moisture loss in the skin.It contains two essential acids, namely Linoleic and Linolenic (polyunsaturated acids), also known as Vitamin F, and are highly rich in Omega 3 & Omega 6, respectively. It promotes Ceramides' production, which helps repair the skin barrier, retain moisture, and replenish skin cells. Ceramide is a vital component of the skin barrier as it forms the epidermis layer of the skin, blocking out irritants and protecting against UV damage. 

How does it help in reducing pigmentation?

Retinoids subdue melanin production and stimulate hyaluronic acid formation. It goes beneath the epidermis (outer layer of skin) to the dermis (middle layer of skin) to neutralize the free radicals that otherwise can decline already present collagen in the body and stimulate the growth of elastin and collagen (a fibrous protein secreted by connective tissues). This effectively reduces pigmentation and prevents early signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. It promotes an increase in the density of the network of collagen fibers in the dermis. In this way, it gives a firming effect, deep hydration, fades age spots, and softens rough skin patches. Along with collagen, it also stimulates the production of new blood vessels, which gradually accelerates the natural cell turnover rate. 

What is Palmitoyl Tripeptide 38?

Palmitoyl Tripeptide is a three amino acid derived highly functional peptide that plays a vital role in skin cell regeneration.

Why is it effective in reducing pigmentation?

Tripeptide is a Tyrosinase inhibitor that prevents over-stimulation of Tyrosinase enzyme (act as a catalyst for melanin production) hence limiting overproduction of pigment or melanin in the skin, which is responsible for darkening or pigmentation.

How does it reduce Pigmentation?

This super potent peptide modulates cell activity by stimulating cell turnover and aids in wound repair by replicating the skin matrix. Its matrikine like effects, i.e., restoring damaged skin cells by imitating or mimicking the original cell structure, stimulate the synthesis of six major constituents of the dermis (Collagen I, Collagen III, Collagen IV, Fibronectin, Hyaluronic acid, and Laminin).
The skin protein gradually realigns and creates new cells that help in erasing fine lines and wrinkles, providing even skin tone while structuring and strengthening connective tissue to induce cell recovery and wound healing. The combining effect of Fibronectin and Hyaluronic acid accelerates vivo tissue repair, improves skin moisture & elasticity.

What are the other benefits of Palmitoyl Tripeptide?

This anti-inflammatory peptide hydrates the skin and restores firmness and elastin, making it the preferred ingredient to treat pigmentation and prevent premature aging.
