The preparation is based primarily on the unique ingredient Aqua Cacteen, developed at Mable Laboratories in Switzerland. This ingredient is extracted from the Opuntia cactus (prickly pear plant), which is used for various purposes in traditional Mexican medicine. Aqua Cacteen is extracted from the cactus through enzymatic processes, extraction and filtration.

The extract is rich in flavonoids, polysaccharides, minerals and vitamins that provide the skin with moisture, protection against environmental damage and soothing. Experiments have shown that aqua cactin extract reduces the release of substances (CGRP*) associated with skin irritation and pain transmission at nerve endings, which is likely the explanation for its activity in soothing the skin.

CGRP is a peptide (short protein) produced by nerve cells. In inflammatory processes, this substance

Related to blood vessel dilation and the transmission of pain sensation.

Additional active ingredients with a soothing effect on the skin: allantoin, calendula extract, Aloe vera, panthenol.

Aqua Cactus Series

The Aqua Cactus range was developed specifically for women aged 30+ with combination skin. In combination skin, the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) is oily or tends to be oily, and in other areas of the face the skin is normal to dry. In combination skin, the T-zone is prone to comedones, redness and irritated skin, including hypersensitivity to the sun.
In order to provide an appropriate solution for this skin type, the Aqua Cactus series is based on textures that are not heavy or oily and do not stimulate the formation of comedones. At the same time, the products in the series contain top-notch active ingredients for the treatment and restoration of aging skin.
