Natural Alternative to Botox A unique lupin seed extract is proven to boost skin own collagen production as a vegetarian and natural alternative to collagen and hyaluronic acid injections without the side effects. So many women recur to extreme cosmetic measures to control the appearance of wrinkles by having regular collagen or hyaluronic acid injections. Despite the fact that the injections do work and give instant results, there are several drawbacks: allergic reactions, allergic response due to multiple treatments, pain, bruising and the animal origin of the fillers (bovine for collagen, either rooster derived or synthetic for hyaluronic acid). These extreme measures are topical, meaning they only work in the area surrounding the injection. By applying Lupeol rich extract on the skin surface the collagen content is boosted from the the inside out and on the whole face: fibroblasts are stimulated to produce more collagen which is also is helicoidal in shape. The shape, not only the amount of the collagen molecules affects the mechanical properties of the skin. Helicoidal collagen is like good springs in a matress, nice and firm... Clinical trials performed on women between 45 and 65 show the positive effects of having an increase in skin collagen by applying products containing patented lupin seeed extract twice a day: -15.7% jowls volume reduction after 89 days (-8.8% after 42 days) +11.2% in skin elasticity after 89 days (+9.2% after 42 days) Despite the results not being as immediate as dermal fillers, the natural way is a gentle and clever approach that gives visible results that are pain free both for the patient and the animals. Lupin is an ornamental flower but it has been cultivated for over 3,000 years for its nutritional value in the Nile valley and in Latin America. It is currently used in the food industry as an alternative to soya, being used in vegan sausages and tofu. The lupin plant has also the remarkable capacity of fixing Nitrogen from the atmosphere in the soil, making it a green alternative to animal manure. The are 200 lupin varieties and the one used for this extract has the lowest alkaloid content, ie lupinus albus or white lupin. iRejuvenate Step 1, Lifting Pro-Youth Face Oil contains this unique extract.
