Also known as the Chili Pepper, or simply - Chilis. It is estimated that South Americans have been cultivating Chili Peppers for over 7000 years. Traditionally Chilis were used in to counter black magic and to protect from evil, while also serving as an aphrodisiac. Capsicum are brimming with skin benefiting minerals and nutrients such as capsaicinoids carotenoids, polyphenols and flavonoids as well as Vitamins C, B and A.

All of which are essential to give the cells the energy that they need to perform their protecting, repairing and regenerating functions. A potent anti-oxidant, Capsicum Meristem Concentrate energise the skin and stimulates cell metabolism, leading to new cell regeneration, improving skin elasticity by 20% within 20 days, and giving your skin added tone and firmness.

Coming from the Japanese pronunciation – shoyu – Soy originated in the East as long ago as 7000 BCE in China, and 5000 BCE in Japan. Soybean (Glycine max) is a leguminous plant with red flowers and green pods containing 3-5 beans of various colors. Thanks to its richness in phytonutrients and its high protein and carbohydrate content, Soy has become one of the most important crops in the western world with 155 million tons grown yearly.

Naturally rich in Vitamin E, essential fatty acids, and lecithin which benefit the skin when applied topically thanks to their high anti-oxidant activity, soy also contains a high level of isoflavones. Isoflavones act as phytoestrogens in the body, helping in cell rejuvenation, and are directly responsible for an increase in skin thickness by improving collagen content and increasing cell proliferation. But unlike many xenoestrogens, these plant estrogens do not penetrate into the blood stream to disrupt the endocrine system. Elixseri’s Soy Meristem has been fermented and bioliquefied to increase the bio-availability and action of the phytomolecules. In vivo tests of Soy Meristem reveal an increase skin firmness of 18% after only 7 days, and a decrease in wrinkle depth of 27% after 21 days.

Papaya has long been recognised for its impressive antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties, and is currently one of the most researched fruits in health.  Fermented Papaya- or Paw Paw - is incredibly rich in skin friendly phyto-nutrients such as flavonoids and phytoesterols, as well as vitamins and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, beta-carotene, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin C and vitamin A.

Fermentations of Papaya have been used over the centuries to treat, to heal and to repair inflammatory pain as well as wounds, cuts and burns. Papaya fermented extract is considered a free-radical scavenger, with an anti-oxidant power 20 times greater than that of Vitamin E. Our prebiotic Tropical Papaya Ferment will prepare the skin to better receive and use other active ingredients. It will also smoothen skin surface and promote skin regeneration, hydrate deeply and reduce trans-epidermal water loss, soothe stressed skin reducing skin inflammation and redness and to support skin’s immune system.

Noni is indigenous to the southern hemisphere and for over 2000 years has been used by ancient healers as the primary ingredient in their medicinal potions. Approximately 200 bioactive compounds have been scientifically identified in the fruit. These actives –potent phyto-chemicals and anti-oxidants, including anthraquinones, glycosides, lignans and polysaccharides - bestow on the Noni Fruit considerable analgesic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Noni also exhibits visible firming and anti-wrinkle properties in skin thanks to its proven action on skin’s collagen content. Clinical trials using Noni in cosmeceuticals have revealed fantastic skin benefits: it diminishes skin redness, helps to rebuild the skin’s lipid barrier, and provides energy and vitality to tired skins. Noni helps to even skin tone and to improve skin firmness and elasticity.

Smooth Player contains Hayluronic Acid in both high and low molecular weights, acting in synergy with our Swiss Alpine Crystallized Light Water to ensure intense moisture, on multiple levels. Our High Molecular Weight HA forms a film on the surface of the skin reducing surface dehydration while increasing the moisturising effect by 22% within two hours of application. Low Molecular Weight HA is able to penetrate into the deepest layers of the skin and works to preserve collagen and to stimulate Ceramide production.

Moisture levels are optimised, barrier functions are restored and the extra cellular matrix is supported. In vivo tests demonstrate an increase in the skin’s water content of 18% and a reduction in pore size of 20% within 4 weeks; a decrease of Trans-Epidermal Water Loss of 20% after 1.5 months and a 20% reduction in wrinkle depth after 2.5 months. Together High and Low Molecular Weight HA provide increased skin smoothness and comfort and a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

XEP 018 Snail Peptide is an instant line smoothing peptide which mimics the muscle-relaxing venom of the Marine Cone Snail. To attack and defend itself in its natural habitat, the Cone Snail produces Conotoxin, powerful venom that targets the neuromuscular system of its prey. This toxin is currently being used for medicinal purposes and the subject of multiple scientific studies. Elixseri’s Snail conotoxin is bio-engineered in a Swiss lab to reconstruct the properties of the peptides. The biotech origin of this ingredient allows scientists to recreate the identical properties of the Cone Snail Toxin, without risking harm to the Cone Snail or its environment (endangered mangroves and coral reefs).

For even more effectiveness, the bio-mimetic peptide is engineered at an extremely low molecular weight, allowing it to penetrate into the deepest layers of the epidermis. When applied to the skin, XEP™-018 has an instant line smoothing and wrinkle relaxing effect that also continues to work over time to alleviate deeper wrinkles. Clinical tests have demonstrated a 10% reduction in deep wrinkle depth in the first two hours. And 93% of those tested indicated that their skin was softer and lifted while 79% confirmed that their crow’s feet wrinkles were less visible.
