Spin Your Attention Towards CoValence’s Original Anti-Aging Marbleberry Cream Mask.
SCIENCE (Part 1):
The Marbleberry Cream Mask is an antioxidant-rich mask designed specifically for aging and parched skin, but works well on all skin types. This unique purple cream mask has built-in antioxidants and natural botanicals of olives and black rice bran which is sure to leave skin feeling and looking refreshed, balanced and healthy. Because this mask also possesses an ingredient that recycles vitamin C, it is an expert at protecting and oxygenating the skin, leaving it looking youthful and clear. With this SPIN, you won’t have to gamble!
There are three main livewire ingredients in the Marbleberry Cream Mask that really contribute to its powerful antioxidant nature. The first ingredient is Thiotaine®, made using Ergothioneine (L), which is a natural antioxidant and amino acid that can aid the skin’s natural ability to prevent damage caused by UV radiation. It does this partially by recycling vitamin C, and also ensures efficient energy production. The second ingredient is Cyanidin-3-Glucoside, which is a purified extract from the heart of Black Rice Bran. This particular extract is high in antioxidant content, and also acts similar to an anti-inflammatory, which helps to keep skin soothed and clear. The third, and cornerstone, ingredient is Phenyl t-Butylnitrone, a Spin Trap… It is a highly active oxygen and nitrogen complex. It is considered an “intelligent” antioxidant because instead of destroying free radicals, it traps them, transforms them into useful oxygen, and then transports them back into the respiratory cycle. This activity keeps the skin continually spinning the effects of aging away from your skin… helping to maintain hydration so that skin appears healthy, clear and more fortified. [See below under SCIENCE (part 2) for further Spin Trap information]
Once the skin has been induced with anti-aging properties, it’s time to let a natural, hydrating and repairing ingredient work its magic… Squalane is derived from olives and it is incredibly moisturizing, while enhancing the skin’s natural barrier function making it very protective. This olive derivative also boosts the skin’s ability to retain moisture, keeping it supple and balanced. Spin away the signs of the appearance of aging from the skin with Marbleberry Cream Mask.
SCIENCE (Part 2):
As children, we loved to spin around as fast as we could… enjoying the exhilaration. However, the more we spun around, without resting in between ‘spins’, the more our bodies decided to retaliate…at times the retaliation was not pretty! Just as our bodies do not like non-stop spinning, our skin does not like the non-stop spinning of free radicals. How does our skin retaliate to the spinning of free radicals? Well, do wrinkles, poor complexion and inflammation ring any bells? If so, you will find the following information very interesting…
CoValence started manufacturing with PBN (N-tert-butyl-alpha-phenylnitrone) in order to create the most potent antioxidant skincare product. But, due to the ‘science-fiction’ aspect of Spin Traps, it was difficult for people to grasp how it worked… even though they could SEE the amazing results, the technical part of Spin Traps eluded the general public. The following information should shed some light on why we manufacture with Spin Traps and why your skin will thank you for it!
“SPINs” are free radicals found in cells. Free radicals are molecules that are the result of UV exposure, environmental and chemical toxins, etc. to the cells in our body. They consist of unpaired electrons which make them very unpredictable and unstable. They are a primary cause of aging and damage to cells.
“SPIN TRAPs” are ingredients that can react with these free radicals, neutralize them, and thus make them relatively stable so that they cannot cause damage. But, these are not your ordinary ‘antioxidants’. We call them ‘intelligent’ antioxidants because how they respond to free radicals. More than that… Spin Traps are the ‘Albert Einstein’ of antioxidants… they can trap the destructive energy of free radicals. Go Albert!
“SPIN ADDUCTs” are the stable end products that result from these spin traps reacting with free radicals.
SPIN (damaging free radicals) + SPIN TRAP (i.e.: PBN) = SPIN ADDUCT (neutralized end product)
What does the above information mean to your skin? It demonstrates that PBN scavenges and neutralizes free radicals differently than other antioxidants. However, now fast forward from the early 1990’s to the present… In the last few years other antioxidants have been shown to be as good at scavenging free radicals and at much lower doses as PBN. But, and this is a big ‘but’, PBN has shown to have numerous benefits that are not found when using these classic antioxidants. Research has proven that there were other mechanisms in play, which PBN controls that in turn produce benefits in the cell other than simple neutralization of free radicals.
What are the additional benefits? PBN impacts signal transduction pathways that alter DNA genetic expression that can lead to damaging inflammation. In other words… PBN has been found to inhibit the protein complex (NF-kB) that stimulates and increases inflammation. Nice!
