𖧧 Unique Ingredients from Superfoods

​​

Unique ingredients are what define Elemente range of skincare products containing elements necessary for beautiful, healthy skin.

 

Rich in antioxidants and other nutrients and blended to perfect proportions, the special combination of ingredients in Elemente products is an unrivaled advancement in modern skincare. We believe in taking the best possible care of the body both inside and out, and its products reflect this philosophy, making beautiful, healthy skin a reality.

 

Ginseng Berry

Women in a remote mountainous province arise before the sun and work long days to cultivate and harvest the precious and rare ginseng berry.

During the coming of fall, these women can be seen intently harvesting and picking ginseng berries. The bright sun reveals a patchwork of fine lines, freckles, scars and roughness on the faces of these women, yet the toil of this demanding labor is not reflected in their hands, which are unusually smooth and beautiful. In the quiet of the highland fields, the ginseng berry performs its magic.

​

Every ginseng berry is precious. The berries are so rare that they can only be found in certain areas of the world. The plants must grow for at least three or four years before their berries are mature and ready for picking.  Each plant produces only a small number of the valuable fruit, and within each berry lies just a few tiny, carefully nurtured seeds. Some of the fruit must be left to ensure another season of harvest, and for this reason, only a few ginseng berries are gathered. Each small berry must be handled with the utmost care as its juice is extracted because each berry contains only a small drop of its vital fluid. It is this precious berry juice that contains the beauty secret of the highlands.

​​

Cactus

The cactus is another unique plant. Aptly called the sage of the desert, cactus has long held the secret of retaining valuable moisture. Like ginseng, one of cactus’ greatest treasures is its rare and delicate fruit. Rich in antioxidants and nutrients, cactus fruit can take up to four years to ripen, a wait that is well worthwhile.

​

Cactus Fruits

Cactus fruit extract not only boasts high levels of antioxidants, but also high concentrations of thiamine and riboflavin, nutrients that nourish and replenish the skin.

​​

Unlocking the skincare secrets of rare plants is an eye-opener, but those of commonly known plants are no less amazing. Within rose, a beautiful symbol of love, lies an ability to enhance collagen production.

​

Seaweed

Seaweed is a miracle from deep under; it has numerous skin rejuvenation properties.  

 

Grape Seed

Grape seed is a super antioxidant that helps to reduce signs of aging for a youthful, radiant appearance.

𖧧 Safety Comes First, Even in Beauty

​

Your safety should come first in the formulation of skincare and cosmetics. It should take priority over efficacy and packaging. Why is this so?

​

You are likely to use a vast array of personal care and cosmetic products daily. The morning grooming ritual often includes toothpaste, facial cleanser, hair shampoo, shower gel, body powder, lip balm and sunscreen. And that is not even including any makeup. Personal care and cosmetic products such as lip balm and lipsticks may be accidentally swallowed. They are also absorbed through the skin.​

​

Harmful chemicals are an unforeseen threat in the beauty industry​

Scientists have found many common cosmetic ingredients in human tissues, and even toxic chemicals in human breast milk. Heavy metals and asbestos are some of the most common impurities in cosmetics. For example, lead, arsenic, mercury and asbestos have been detected in lipsticks, lip glosses, beauty products and talcum powder (used in baby powders and cosmetic facial powders) respectively.

​

Exposure to harmful chemicals occurs when babies and young children touch adults who use skincare and cosmetic products containing harmful chemicals, then put their little fingers into their mouths. They may also accidentally ingest products such as baby powder, shower gels and baby lotions.

​

We use so many different personal care and cosmetic products daily, some of which we absorb through the skin or even accidentally ingest. Hence it is of paramount importance that they are safe to use. That is why we has taken the initiative to uphold the highest safety standards in formulating and manufacturing Elemente products.

​

Elemente - The Skincare That You Can Trust

All Elemente products use only carefully processed raw materials and ingredients that meet the Japanese Standards of Quasi-drug Ingredients (JSQI). The research, formulation and testing of all Elemente products are conducted in Japan, where some of the world’s most rigorous safety tests are carried out. The tests on raw materials, formulations and product packaging include testing for toxins, heavy metals and potential to cause allergies. Japan has high safety standards and its heavy metal impurity limits in cosmetics are among the lowest in the world.

 

Raw ingredient selection, innovation, formulation, and testing involved in skincare and cosmetic product manufacturing all contribute to product safety and quality. They are scientific processes that require expertise, accuracy and great care. Hence, instead of splurging on advertisements and seasonal packaging, E.Excel invests in quality ingredients, advanced research and formulations, professional personnel, specialized technology and stringent controls.

 

Our effort: skincare and cosmetic products that have minimal risk of causing skin irritation or an allergic reaction, and are safe and reliable.

𖧧 Antioxidants Are The Key To Fighting Aging

​

Are you worried about looking your age and trying to stop wrinkles and fine lines from appearing? Skin’s youthfulness is a reflection of overall health, as skin is related to the functions and condition of many parts of the body. A smooth, taut and supple complexion is not just about skin itself but actually begins with rejuvenating the body to slow down the effects of aging.

​

Free Radicals and Aging

Free radicals have the effect of injuring cells, damaging their DNA. While free radicals naturally generated by cells are few and kept in check by antioxidants produced by the body, free radicals that are generated by cigarette smoke, air pollution, alcohol and other toxins burden the body.

​

Free radicals accelerate aging by capitalizing on the body’s natural degeneration of DNA. From around 27 years old, aging cells in the body gradually lose their ability to divide and to restore breaks in the genetic code. As DNA loses its ability to regenerate and repair, oxidative DNA damage by free radicals gains momentum and accelerates the aging process. Fine lines and wrinkles are external evidence of the body's decreased ability to repair DNA damage and increased vulnerability to free radicals.

​

Because antioxidants repair and prevent oxidative DNA damage, they may have the ability to slow the aging process both internally and externally.

​

✰Tip

The body needs a wide variety of antioxidants to counter different types of free radicals. Plant foods are ideal antioxidant sources as they contain complex mixes of antioxidants together with phytochemicals and polysaccharides for nourishment.

Skin and Overall Health                                                                                                     As the body’s largest organ, skin is closely related to the body’s internal organs. Even for young people, blemishes such as pimples are signs of internal conditions such as surging hormones and poor detoxification. Hence, it is natural for skin to also manifest signs of aging within the body.

​

After peaking in its 20s, the body starts to age physically in all aspects, leading to organ degeneration, poor blood circulation and poor detoxification. The body’s collagen production also declines, leading to increasing stiffness. As a result, visible signs of aging such as wrinkles, age spots and sagging flesh gradually increase over the years.

​

✰Tip

Consuming antioxidant-rich plant foods can promote blood circulation, keep connective tissues healthy, and strengthen blood vessels, contributing to youthful skin. Good blood circulation enables skin to obtain from blood the nutrients that are required for collagen production.

​

Skin Aging

The body’s immunity weakens with age, causing skin to be vulnerable to certain conditions. Production of collagen, which makes up around 75% of skin, also decreases. Collagen forms an elaborate matrix that supports the skin and locks in moisture, giving skin its suppleness and resilience. With age, collagen loss breaks down this matrix and results in fine lines and wrinkles.

​

Skin aging is accelerated by factors such as UV radiation and environmental stress. Alcohol, smoking and inappropriate food intake can also worsen the effects of aging, and wrinkles are more apparent when skin is dry.

​

✰Tip

Collagen that is applied topically is left unabsorbed on skin because collagen molecules are too big to be absorbed by skin. Synthetic collagen products are derived from pigs and cows. They contain collagen that is structurally different from natural collagen fibers of human skin, and may trigger allergic or inflammatory reactions.

​

Eating collagen-rich animal foods and collagen-enriched foods and drinks may not help to replenish collagen in the body. That is because collagen is digested into amino acids just like other proteins.

​

Antioxidants in plants are able to be absorbed into skin to nourish and help it withstand daily assaults and stimulate collagen production, strengthening the collagen matrix. Some antioxidants can also brighten complexion and promote skin healing.

​

Slowing Down the Hands of Time

While aging cannot be prevented, consuming antioxidant-rich plant foods to nourish the body, and using skincare containing plant ingredients high in antioxidants, can help the body to continue to function well and enable skin to age more gracefully
