TXVector™

TXVector™ is the first of its kind anti-aging depigmentation active for a naturally even skin tone. Studies showed reduced redness in two weeks and reduced dark spots in four weeks

TeraBond™

TeraBond™ is a reactive system that covalently bonds to amino acids and keratin fragments in human hair, including broken disulfide linkages, and is a natural, high performing Plex bond multiplier.

TeraCeutic™ Ferment

TeraCeutic™ Ferment is an active ingredient for skin renewal, resurfacing, exfoliation, and brightening. It improves the overall smoothness and radiance of the skin by promoting an optimized cell turnover (desquamation).

AquaGlucan™

AquaGlucan™ provides immediate and long term moisturization benefits and is 100% naturally derived from the fermentation of the edible mushroom Schizophyllum Commune.

Hydroxysomes® Adenosine

Adenosine is a cosmetic active which significantly improves hair density and thickness when applied to the scalp. Pure adenosine has known dermal penetration challenges which can impede efficacy. To overcome this and achieve superior results, adenosine is delivered inside microscopic calcium particles that penetrate into deeper layers of the scalp.

MicroX LHA™

MicroX LHA™ is a cosmetic active for skin renewal, anti-wrinkle, anti-aging, and anti-acne. It delivers lipophilic hydroxy acid, providing high impact on skin appearance and smoothness through cell-by-cell exfoliation and stimulation of new cells in the basal layer.

Visilift™

Derived from peach gum resin, this active instantly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for up to 8 hours a day.

Keraplast FK Scalp™

FK Scalp™ is specifically formulated to improve scalp health by providing pollution protection and promoting follicle health.

Hydroxysomes® Resveratrol

This powerful antioxidant has strong anti-inflammatory effect in the skin. In dermatological studies resveratrol has been shown to effectively help firm and lift the skin, and reduce age spots. It provides antioxidant protection to the skin, allowing it to detoxify and look healthy.

Hydroxysomes® Retinaldehyde

Hydroxysomes® Retinaldehyde delivers calcium to the skin which enhances the effect of retinal. By delivering retinal and calcium simultaneously, Hydroxysomes® Retinaldehyde provides integrated anti-aging properties for younger looking skin.

TeraCeutic™ Succinic

TeraCeutic™ Succinic naturally and gently resurfaces the skin and boosts radiance through optimizing the cell turnover process.

Actera Adenosine™

Actera Adenosine™ is an anti-inflammatory active for skin & scalp health. This multifunctional ingredient provides soothing and anti-aging benefits on skin and supports circulation and hair growth for scalp applications.

Actera Alpha-Arbutin

As the skin lightening active substance from natural plant, alpha-Arbutin could rapidly permeate into skin, inhibit the activity of tyrosinase effectively and block the formation of melanin without interrupting the cell proliferation concentration. By combination of tyrosinase and itself, it could accelerate the decomposability and excretion to reduce the skin pigment deposition and eliminate stains and freckles.

Actera Ascorbyl Glucoside

Compared with other vitamin C derivatives, ascorbyl glucoside has a better stability and solubility in solution and could essentially inhibit the discolour and degradation of vitamin C in cosmetics while keeping the whole bioactivity.

Actera HA™

Our hyaluronic acid is created from the natural fermentation of carbohydrates and is available in several grades. Quench dehydrated skin, plump fine lines, and reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) with a combo of low, standard, and high molecular weights.
