Skin Care: nutricosmetics to complement your skin care
Skin Care from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement made with plant extracts and concentrates, vitamins, bromelain, hyaluronic acid, a polar lipid complex, and zinc.
For people who want to take care of their skin naturally, integrating ingredients that are a benchmark in the “skincare” world as part of a nutricosmetic formula: nicotinamide (vitamin B3), vitamin C, zinc, hyaluronic acid, bromelain, concentrated botanical extracts, and a wheat polar lipid complex with phytoceramides. A complete proposal for those who enjoy self-care and want daily support that fits a simple routine: healthy eating, proper rest, hydration, and cosmetics.
If you like taking care of yourself, this formula is designed to help you in your daily routine.
How the formula is designed: the idea behind each block
The core nutrients for the skin
The base of Skin Care relies on vitamin B3 (nicotinamide), vitamin C, and zinc, three well-known ingredients in nutricosmetics for their role in maintaining and caring for normal skin.
A block focused on cosmetics
Hyaluronic acid and phytoceramides (within a wheat polar lipid complex) are combined to give the formula an unmatched boost.
Final block of concentrated and standardized extracts
We include specific extracts with high ratios and standardization, like Polypodium leucotomos and gotu kola (Centella asiatica), plus grape (Vitis vinifera) with polyphenols and proanthocyanidins, as part of our unique formula.
Key nutrients for skin maintenance
Nicotinamide (vitamin B3): key in skin care
Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B3 especially popular in skin care for its use in wellness routines and its good compatibility with other nutricosmetic strategies.
- Niacin contributes to maintaining normal skin.
Vitamin C: a classic for skin collagen
Vitamin C as ascorbic acid contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin.
Zinc: the last must-have
Zinc is one of those micronutrients that has to be present when the formula aims to support skin maintenance comprehensively.
- Zinc contributes to maintaining normal skin.
Hyaluronic acid and phytoceramides
Hyaluronic acid from plant fermentation
Hyaluronic acid is one of the most well-known ingredients in the cosmetic world. It’s used in nutricosmetics as part of quality formulas. At HSN we use a stable form of sodium hyaluronate derived from plant fermentation.
Wheat polar lipid complex with phytoceramides
Ceramides are closely linked to cosmetics in general. In Skin Care, we provide them as phytoceramides within a lipid complex that also includes other characteristic lipids (like DGDG and phospholipids), the perfect finishing touch for a definitive 'Skin Care' formula.
Concentrated plant extracts: quality in the details
Polypodium leucotomos: key for its research
It’s one of the star ingredients in nutricosmetics when it comes to formulas for skin and people exposed to external factors that affect it. We’ve used a concentrated extract with a specific phenolic acid profile, key to ensuring formulation quality.
Gotu kola (Centella asiatica): standardized in triterpenes
Gotu kola is a classic in skin care formulas. We’ve selected a high-concentration extract standardized in triterpenes, a clear way to guarantee quality in the extract’s nutritional composition so it can deliver its nutritional properties as part of the formula.
Vitis vinifera: the value of polyphenols and proanthocyanidins
Grape, especially its seed, is a widely used ingredient in nutricosmetics. In Skin Care, it’s integrated within a patented formula with a specific profile of polyphenols and proanthocyanidins, aligned with the highest quality standards.
- Vitis vinifera is traditionally used to support the skin’s capillary function.
- Vitis vinifera helps improve overall skin health and appearance.
Bromelain: the extra that completes the formula
What it brings to Skin Care
Bromelain is an enzyme from Ananas comosus valued for its activity (expressed in GDU/g). It’s a key quality detail because it shows the enzymatic capacity of the raw material, something that guarantees its activity.
SkinAx2™ and Ceramosides™: the most “skincare” part of the formula
SkinAx2™: a studied matrix
SkinAx2™ is a patented formula that combines a profile of polyphenols and proanthocyanidins from Vitis vinifera seed extract. A registered trademark that integrates a block designed to fit into the day-to-day of a nutricosmetic routine, with quality and consistency.
Ceramosides™: phytoceramides and polar lipids
Ceramosides™ is a wheat polar lipid complex that provides phytoceramides along with other characteristic lipids (like DGDG and phospholipids) from Triticum aestivum seed. It’s the kind of ingredient you look for in a skin care formula, brought into the nutricosmetic field.
Delayed-release vegetable capsule: convenience for daily use
Delayed release is used so the capsule dissolves later in the digestive transit. Ensuring that nutrients are released at the right spot to be properly absorbed.
How to include it in your Skin Care routine
With habits that help you reach your goal
If your goal is to care for your skin naturally, what fits best with the Skin Care nutricosmetic formula is very simple: good hydration, a complete diet, rest, and a cosmetic routine based on quality, well-chosen products.
Recommended combinations
Frequently asked questions
Who is the formula especially designed for?
For anyone who wants to care for skin appearance from within with a complete formula: key nutrients for a full Skin Care approach.
Can I combine it with traditional cosmetics I already use?
Yes, that’s common: topical care is one thing, and nutritional support another. If you’re trying to complete a varied cosmetic routine, adding nutricosmetics is one of the best options.
Does it make sense if I already eat well?
It fits perfectly right there: when you already have a habit base, a nutricosmetic supplement works as “the key extra” that boosts your efforts.
