                  PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

                  A clear, light yellow to orange brown liquid with a characteristic odour.
                   
                  It is an extract taken from the seeds of the sweet white lupin.
                   
                  The lupins are grown in sustainable farming projects in the South West of France and the extract is taken by using a patented bio-enzymatic process.
                   
                  The whole lupin plant is considered to be an important source of molecules for cosmetic and nutritional products.
                   
                  Lupine Peptides is a blend of penta- and hexa- peptides that work as an MMP inhibitor. MMP stands for Matrix Metalloproteinase. MMPs action is to degrade proteins such as collagen and elastin, which are the defining features of connective tissue.
                  This is even more active after the skin has been exposed to sunlight. The Lupine Peptides inhibit MMP activity following exposure of the skin to sunlight.
                   
                  This prevents collagen and elastin from being damaged, helping to renew skin’s outer layer, reducing the depth of wrinkles and stimulating the production of more collagen and elastin, giving the skin a more youthful look.
                   
                  There are over 200 genus within the Lupin family and they have been used in one form or another since the Ancient Egyptians.

                  HOW TO USE IT

                  Skin Care
                  Increases the contractile capacity of the fibroblast of the dermis thus reducing the loss of firmness and elasticity of the skin.
                   
                  Excellent for firming masks and night creams. Restores the elastic properties of the skin which is beneficial for skin that has lost its tone.
                   
                  Use in serums to target specific areas of the skin.
                   
                  Protects the dermal matrix by Inhibiting metalloproteinases 1, 9 and 3.
                   
                  This would be of great benefit when used in daily body lotions, prior to sun exposure.
                   
                  Hair Care
                  No direct hair care usage other than toning the scalp.
                  Other
                  Use 0.5% to 2%. Water soluble so cannot be added to oil only products.
                   
                  It is heat sensitive so add it when the temperature is under 40°C or during stage 3 (cool down stage) when making creams and lotions.
                   
                  Combine in a cream or lotion with Camellia Seed Oil which also increases the elasticity of the skin.
                   
                  Use in combination with Hylaluronic Acid Gel to plump up the skin and diminish fine lines and wrinkles.
                   
                  Blend with Eco Marine Algae Extract in anti aging serums.
