Amethyst
What is it?
Extract of amethyst rock or silicon dioxide. It is mainly formed of silicon, a trace element present in the epidermis and dermis in a high proportion, also known as the element of youth.
What does it do for your skin?
A multi-purpose active:
- Restructures and moisturises as the silicon molecules bind to proteins and mucopolysaccharides, surrounded by water molecules.
- Firms as it is a very important element for optimum collagen synthesis.
- Protects collagen and elastin fibres from glycation, another action mechanism related to its antiaging function.
