Beauty Trend and Ingredient Spotlight - Menopausal Beauty

As women go through menopause, hormone levels plummet,?and skin can become dry, less firm and thin. Hair can also thin on the scalp but become more troublesome on the face.

We have put together a list of ingredients from Active Concepts that can help combat some of these common challenges -

Skincare Ingredients -

• Phytofuse Renew?? - offers the protective, moisture-retentive, and reparative advantages associated with the secondary metabolites produced by the Rose of Jericho under stress.?
• BiEau?? Actif Brown Algae - Laminaria japonica, also known as brown algae, is considered a rich source of nutrients, including fucoidan.?Fucoidan is a natural algae polysaccharide that is typically involved in wrinkle reduction and aids in providing antioxidant protection to prevent radical damage.

Haircare/Skincare Ingredients -

• Acquaseal?? Coconut - for haircare and skincare. You can notice the advantages right away, such as a decrease in transepidermal water loss and powerful moisturisation.
• ACB Pisum Sativum Peptide - can effectively condition and moisturise the skin and hair, keeping them both healthy and nourished.
