REMEDY WITH PHYTOPLEX
The Phytoplex system focuses on redness, dry skin and oxidative stress that have the potential to
disrupt skin surface barrier function. Phytoplex may help mitigate these negative effects by maintaining
conditions necessary for normal skin function. Phytoplex helps to nourish, moisturize and soothe skin.
THE SCIENCE OF PHYTOPLEX

NOURISHING AND SOOTHING
Blue-green Algae extract (Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae)
• Found naturally, blue-green algae is extremely rich in proteins, vitamins, antioxidants,
essential fatty acids and carbohydrates.
9,10
• Skin soothing, refreshing and uplifting; reduces effects of everyday drying conditions.

STRUCTURAL MOISTURIZING
• Phytoplex helps to restore tight junctions between keratinocytes reducing porosity and preventing
moisture loss.
• Yeast extract
11
and Soy proteins
12
Proteins and polysaccharides from the yeast extract may increase the moisture retentive capacity
of the skin and restore moisture balance.
13
Soy proteins are film formers and help to reduce moisture
loss. They also function as natural humectants, attracting moisture to the skin from the environment
and from lower skin layers.
14
• Vitamin D
15
Phytoplex includes encapsulated Vitamin D. Encapsulation helps to stabilize the vitamin and
permits efficient delivery onto the skin surface, due to a small electrostatic charge that has affinity
to negatively charged surfaces (such as skin) thereby enhancing adherence to it.
