Vanhuus ei ole vältettävissä. Me kaikki vanhenemme – idea on tehdä se arvokkaasti ! Selvyyden vuoksi – emme ole ikääntymistä vastaan. Haluamme vain auttaa ihmisiä säilyttämään nuorekkaan hehkunsa pidempään.
EVOLUUTIO KOHTAA MODERNIN TIETEEN
Esse suhtautuu ihon pitkäaikaiseen terveyteen erittäin vakavasti, ja ikääntyminen on pitkän ajan prosessi. Lähestymistapamme juuret ovat evoluution ensimmäisissä periaatteissa, mutta käytämme modernia tiedettä hyödyntäen bioteknologiassa tehtyjä edistysaskeleita, joka auttaa meitä jäljittelemään niitä olosuhteita, joissa olemme kehittyneet.
Ihmiset ovat kehittyneet metsästäjä-keräilijöinä, joten meidän on ymmärrettävä, että tällaiset olosuhteet ovat luonnollisimpia kehoillemme. Metsästäjä-kerjäilijöitä koskevat tutkimukset ovat johndonmukaisesti osoittaneet, että he ovat onnellisempia ja terveempiä kuin nykyihmiset. Nykyaikaisessa maailmassa olemme kadottaneet osia metsästäjä-keräilijä- elämäntyylistä. On todistettu, että monet modernisoinnin tuomat muutokset ovat johtaneet haitallisiin terveysvaikutuksiin.
REWILDING-MATKA
Tästä syystä haluamme elvyttää ihon – palauttaa sen mikrobisesti rikkaaseen ja monipuoliseen tilaan, jota varten se on kehittynyt. Valitettavasti emme voi palata metsästäjä-keräilijöiksi. Luonnonympäristöjä, joissa esi-isämme kukoistivat ei yksinkertaisesti ole enää tarpeeksi. Viimeaikaisen biotekniikan kehityksen ansiosta voimme kuitenkin jäljitellä näitä olosuhteita, jolloin iho altistuu hyödyllisille mikrobeille ja rakentaa näin mikrobiemme monimuotoisuutta.
We believe that there are many aspects and challenges of modern life that have resulted in accelerated ageing. We seek to bring a truly natural solution to this problem, bringing the wild back to clients, even those in the heart of city life. To do this, we use biotechnology, offering skincare that is effective in the short-term, as well as in the long-term.
Esse is driven by sustainability in all its facets, including sustainability for the client. We want people to address the root causes of accelerated ageing, really improving the state of their skin to look their very best in old age. We don’t sacrifice long-term skin health for short-term results.
UNDERSTANDING THE SKIN AGEING PROCESS
To fully understand how our products improve ageing outcomes, we need to unravel the fundamentals of skin ageing – we need to understand the problems we’re trying to solve. We pay careful attention and explore the concepts of skin ageing by looking at the effects of four major aspects:
- Skin physiology
- Inflammation
- Barrier function, and
- The skin microbiome
We look at ways in which these four aspects impact each other, and we create complex products using biotechnology to assist skin in achieving this natural balance which has been disrupted by modern lifestyles.
ANTI-AGEING HEROES
Whilst the entire Esse range is formulated and geared for reducing the effects of ageing, we want to highlight two of our ageing heroes and how this approach is proving to be highly effective in treating skin.
1. Probiotic Serum
The Probiotic Serum delivers its most notable benefits with three species of live Lactobacillus probiotics. These are stabilised in a Jojoba Oil base and are activated when exposed to the water on the skin’s surface.
Jojoba Oil contains fatty acids and wax esters that mimic sebum composition and provide a nutrient source for beneficial skin microbes. All three Lactobacillus species in the Serum have been shown to:
- Improve barrier function by increasing the quantity and quality of tight-junctions;
- Protect from pathogens by secreting antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and by competitive exclusion; and
- Attenuate inflammatory responses by reducing production of inflammatory cytokines, and/or by downregulating the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).
During independent studies, the Probiotic Serum has been tested for skin firmness and skin elasticity to show its effects on anti-ageing. Results show:
- An increase in skin firmness by 16% in 28 days.
- An increase in skin elasticity by 9% in 28 days.
2. Resurrect Serum
This multi award-winning serum is the anti-ageing solution for sensitive skins. The Resurrect Serum makes use of an extract of Myrothamnus flabellifolia, the ‘resurrection plant’, wild harvested in Namibia.
This plant can survive long periods of drought and will revive when water becomes available again. To avoid DNA damage during these desiccation periods, the plant employs a high level of antioxidant protection. The population of Myrothamnus used by Esse has an extremely high content of the polyphenol 3,4,5-tri-O-galloylquinic Acid, which provides this antioxidant activity.
Also included in the formulation is Hyaluronic Acid which provides hydration, reduces inflammation, and improves delivery of other actives. Bakuchiol offers anti-inflammatory activity and reduces collagen degradation. Gamma-aminobutyric Acid (GABA) relaxes the muscles under the skin to reduce wrinkles.
During independent studies the Resurrect Serum has been tested for wrinkle depth to show its effects on anti-ageing. Results show a reduction in wrinkle depth of 13% in 28 days.
