July 2010
AAK has launched Lipex Cellect, a natural skin therapy ingredient with a high content of vegetable-derived phytosterol esters, which accelerate the barrier recovery of aged and sensitive skin, restoring a more youthful and healthy appearance.

The new product penetrates and nourishes skin cell membranes with essential phytosterol esters to restore membrane elasticity, strength and flexibility. Skin care formulations made with Lipex Cellect can accelerate the barrier recovery of aged skin to counter the damaging effects of diet, environmental stressors and irritants characterised by cell membrane inelasticity or rupture, causing skin flaking, sagging and wrinkle formation. Lipex Cellect natural intense skin health ingredient is especially well-suited to facial skin treatment products, eye cream, night moisturising liquids, facial masques, men’s skin care products and intensive therapy skincare treatments.

Skin defences boosted by grapefruit extract
Humans are constantly exposed to harmful foreign chemicals and materials from exogenous and endogenous sources. As a result, defence mechanisms have evolved to protect against toxin overload.1 Cells are under constant threat from metabolic waste products and xenobiotics. The formation of phase I and phase II metabolism mobilises and excretes these mainly lipophilic toxins.
