Eliza Beauty Therapy has just returned from a very quick trip to the USA updating and attending a conference on some new innovations in the skincare industry. Sue says “Delivery systems are expected to be a big part of 2014, thanks to research from some leading biopharamceutical companies world wide.” Therapists must understand firstly where their ‘Stem Cells’ and ‘Peptides’ are derived from. Is your therapist up to date, are your products effective due to their delivery system, or just added to your product with fluff.” Stem Cell Therapy is continuing to make advancements as more is discovered in their role of protecting cells. Peptides, on the other hand, are building blocks of protein and consist of a combination of amino acids. These are messengers which stimulate your cells, but all Stem Cells and Peptides have a different job to do. For example: Grape Stem Cells – Protect from UV rays and environmental stress .... whereas Echinacea Stem Cells improve elasticity and hydration. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is a small, but powerful peptide that stimulates collagen synthesis at a cellular level, helping to compensate for any collagen deficit in the skin. Remember, all sounds good, but how is it delivered. Is the molecular structure and delivery system effective enough to give the result . It is great if advanced ingredients are in the product you are using, but do they deliver? New breakthroughs are obtaining stem cells from new sources, and the recent knowledge of magnesium both orally and topically for skin, together are just a few of the latest and most exciting advancements coming out worldwide at the moment.
