Vitamins, Minerals and Salts

Our bodies can’t produce minerals but we need them as co-factors to develop and function normally. They support enzymatic reactions and help absorb and produce vitamins.Β  We have to consume minerals and sometimes vitamins through food or supplements. Luckily, our products contain those minerals (and some vitamins!) so you and your microbiata will get those essential substances for your skin.

Our GO2 toner serumΒ BIOTIK KOMPLEMENTSΒ contains over 60 glacier minerals and salts such as calcium, magnesium, boron, sodium, potassium, selenium, manganese, zinc, strontium as well as fermented minerals such as zinc, iron, silicon, copper and magnesium. Through fermentation, these minerals are transformed into a bioactive material that the skin readily utilises.

These essential minerals supports functions that:

  1. enhance barrier function
  2. increase growth factor expression
  3. decrease stress related factors
  4. increase cellular energy production
  5. prevent inflammation

Some specific minerals in our toner serumΒ BIOTIK KOMPLEMENTSΒ includes:

Boron (B)Β - Important to the metabolism of calcium and magnesium.
Calcium (Ca)Β - Strengthens cell membranes and plays essential role in skin metabolism.
Copper (Cu) – 2 key properties for the skin well being: active role in synthesis and stabilization of skin proteins as well as a potent biocidal ingredient. Studies have demonstrated that copper is beneficial in anti-aging by reducing fine lines and wrinkles and in speeding wound healing.
Magnesium (Mg)Β - Acts as anti-irritant for sensitive skin. Beneficial in psoriasis treatment.
Manganese (Mn)Β - Has antioxidant properties. Helps improve blood circulation of the skin.
Potassium (K)Β - Regulates moisture balance. Studies have shown K+ helps with psoriasis.
Selenium (Se)Β - Has anti-inflammatory properties.Β  Protects against the damage of free radicals (a type of ROS).
Sodium (Na)Β - Regulates osmotic pressure. Prevents dehydration and trans-epidermal water loss.
Strontium (Sr) – Traces. Medical research studies have shown that strontium can relieve skin irritations for people who have contact dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea. Also helps with sensitive skins. Do not ingest.
Silicon (Si) – Very different from silicone! Silicon supports optimal collagen synthesis and activation of hydroxylating enzymes, which in turn improve skin strength and elasticity.
Sulfur (S) – Supports the loosening and shedding of skin and displays antibacterial activities. It is these properties that explain why sulfur helps in treating skin conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis or acne.
Zinc (Zn)Β - Is essential for the proper functioning of the skin epidermis and cell renewal. It promotes clear skin by regulating your hormonal balance and supporting your skin vitamin A metabolism. It also limits the inflammatory reaction as it supports the natural barrier function of the skin and protects the skin from external irritants.

NIACINAMIDEΒ - Is one of the 2 forms of vitamin B3.Β  It can be made in the body from niacin, the other form of the vitamin. Supports lipid and sugar functions and healthy cell maintenance. Improves the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by making the skin plumpier.

Emollients and Humectants

Emollients and humectants are the foundation of dry skin prevention and treatment. Moisturizer creamsΒ  can be composed of 3 classes of ingredients to prevent or correctΒ dry skins.Β 

  1. lemollients soften and smooth the skin, like plants oils,Β  free fatty acids and ceramides
  2. humectants bind and hold water in the stratum corneum (outer layer of skin). NMF components are humectants as well as glycerol, hyaluronic acid, sodium lactate and panthenol
  3. occlusives create a barrier on the surface of the skin and prevent water loss by trapping the water into the skin. Petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oils and silicones are examples of occlusives. Aside from those that also act as emollients like jojoba oil, occlusives are NOT used in the V*GAM biome line of products
