Rahn reinforces its anti-ageing portfolio

Published: 1-Dec-2010 Featured companies: RAHN
Ingredients Skin Care

New form Rahn is Reforcyl, an active said to provide nutrition and resistance to the perturbed barrier of mature skin. The Ecocert-approved ingredient contains Gynostemma pentaphyllum to activate LXR to stimulate the synthesis of epidermal lipids, restoring the skin barrier from within, as well as Cistus incanus, which strengthens the reduced antioxidative defence system found in mature skin.
