Avocado

The avocado is the fruit of the avocado tree (Persea americana), which is native to Central and South America. Avocados are known for their creamy flesh and high content of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. They are valued not only as a food but also for their diverse cosmetic properties.

Active ingredient: 5-alpha Avocuta

In cosmetics: Through cold pressing, bioenzymatic esterification, and molecular distillation (nature meets high tech), we have succeeded in isolating a lipophilic, odorless, and stable active ingredient that has been proven to control and regulate the skin’s sebum production in vivo.

The mechanism of action is based on inhibiting the enzymatic breakdown of testosterone (5-alpha reductase), which otherwise leads to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a derived hormone that massively stimulates sebum production. This means that this ingredient ultimately tackles the problem at its root and ensures regulated sebum production. The gentle exfoliation, which gently removes impurities and thus smooths the skin’s texture, supports the penetration of this completely new approach to combating oily skin.

Effect: restores sebum production to a natural balance, reduces the skin’s own oiliness, and has a soothing effect
