Meder Beauty Science approach to skin care relies upon microbiome-friendly impact with a focus on the restoration and maintenance of the skin’s barrier function and local immunity.
Meder Beauty’s first professional treatment, released in 2009, contained microbiome-friendly products.
Net-Apax Prebiotic Cleanser
Cleansing, very mild exfoliation, strong calming effect.
Microbiome-friendly ingredient: alpha-glucan oligosaccharide (BioEcolia®) is a potent prebiotic, a perfect substrate for healthy microflora and a toxin for pathogenic bacteria. BioEcolia® helps clear the skin and restore its normal regulation, barrier functions, sebum production and other processes. Prebiotic has been proven to reduce and after a few weeks stop entirely all inflammatory processes. BioEcolia® has a prophylactic effect as well, suppressing the growth of pathogenic microorganisms and stabilising the healthy skin flora.
Other key ingredients:
- Silver Mallow extract soothes the skin, calms inflammation and brings a welcome relief to sensitive, easily irritated skin.
Nrj-Net Revitalising Cleanser
Cleansing, mild exfoliation, capillary stimulation.
Microbiome-friendly ingredient: Bacillus Ferment (probiotic, bacterial lysate filtrate Saccharomyces, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Streptomyces griseus, Aspergillus & Bacillus).
Other key ingredients:
- Sweet Almond Oil softens, moisturises and nourishes the skin, restores its barrier function
- Niacinamide (vitamin В3) enhances microcirculation, provides anti-inflammatory effect, oxygenises the skin, enhances metabolic processes in the skin and biological accessibility of the active ingredients applied afterwards;
- Methyl nicotinate dilates the capillaries enhancing blood circulation and oxygenising the skin.
- Vitamin E protects the membranes, nourishes and accelerates the skin’s regeneration.
Double-action enzyme peeling Enzy-Peel Mask
Gentle exfoliation and cleansing, preparation for the application of active ingredients. Suitable for sensitive skin.
Microbiome-friendly ingredient: Bacillus Ferment (probiotic, bacterial lysate filtrate Saccharomyces, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Streptomyces griseus, Aspergillus & Bacillus), among other benefits, has a pronounced keratolytic effect, smoothes out the skin, regulates sebum production, reduces the depth of wrinkles and prepares the skin for the application of active ingredients.
Other key ingredients:
- Shea butter, rich in polysaturated fatty acids, protects cell membranes, nourishes and shields the skin from external damage.
- Vitamin E protects the membranes, nourishes and accelerates the skin’s regeneration.
Net-Apax Cleanser, Nrj-Net Cleanser and Enzy-Peel Mask still remain in the professional sets for Meder Beauty treatments, and their home care versions are available for purchase.
Eu-Seb Treatment
A new approach to acne therapy
In 2013 Meder Beauty Science Lab was the first to use prebiotics in professional skincare to restore facial microflora and treat acne.
The key active ingredient of the professional program was a new ingredient, biotechnological substrate alpha-glucan-oligosacсharide (BioEcolia®), a perfect nutritional medium for the growth of beneficial ecoflora. BioEcolia® is also toxic for the pathogenic bacteria, destroying the microbial wall of Propionibacterium acnes.
BioEcolia® is technically a galacto-oligosaccharide, or alpha-glucan-oligosaccharide, derived from natural sugars (maltose and saccharose) by a patented fermentation process. It is a key active ingredient of Meder Beauty’s anti-acne concentrate Eu-Seb, used in the professional acne treatment and offered in the home care range.
Eu-Seb Concentrate
Acne treatment, skin normalising.
Microbiome-friendly ingredient: alpha-glucan oligosaccharide (BioEcolia®) is a powerful prebiotic, a perfect substrate for healthy microflora and a toxin for pathogenic bacteria. It helps clear the skin and restore its normal barrier functions, reducing and after a few weeks stopping entirely all inflammatory processes. BioEcolia® has a prophylactic effect as well, suppressing the growth of pathogenic microorganisms and stabilising the healthy skin flora.
Microbiome-friendly Daily Routine
Meder Beauty home care range was released in 2013.
It contains all the above-mentioned microbiome-friendly skincare solutions, plus some new stars with BioEcolia®
Derma-Fill Prebiotic Moisturising Cream
Deep skin hydration, filling of wrinkles, restoration of skin’s moisture level and water-salt balance.
Microbiome-friendly ingredient: alpha-glucan oligosaccharide (BioEcolia®)
Other key ingredients:
- Hyaluronic acid’s low-molecular and middle-molecular weight fragments are enclosed in reservoirs inside dendrimers, fractal polymers. These dendrimers are 3D tree-like structures, close to the skin’s own linear and long chained molecules, in particular mucopolysaccharides. Dendrimers consist of the series of chemical shells, built around small nuclear molecules. As dendrimers soak into the dermis, the cell nucleus is replaced by guest molecules (fragments of hyaluronic acid) that they release. The size and shape of these molecules can be regulated very precisely, and dendrimers remain stable for a long period of time, which is crucial for their role of nanoparticles’ carriers. After Derma-Fill Cream is applied onto the skin, the release of hyaluronic acid from the dendrimers continues for 10 to 12 hours (!) filling the skin with hyaluronic acid layer by layer and ensuring deep moisturising by attracting water molecules.
- Algae extract is a source of polysaccharides and aminoacids. Brown ocean alga is the only source of fukoidanes, polysaccharides consisting of sugar (fucose) with a bit of sulfur. Fukoidanes are immune modulators — they mobilise the skin’s protective properties, allowing it to fight infection more effectively and control inflammation. Polysaccharides have a strong surface moisturising effect and smooth out the epidermis covering it with thin moisture-retaining film. Aminoacids (aspartame, glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, serine, valine, isoleucine, leucine) repair the peptide components of membranes and the structural molecules of the upper dermis layers, enhancing, among other things, the syntheses of collagen and elastin.
Salva-Derm Cream for normal and sensitive skin
Protects and moisturises the skin reducing its reactivity to all harmful factors
Microbiome-friendly ingredient: alpha-glucan-oligosaccharide (BioEcolia®)
Other key ingredients:
- Hyaluronic acid
- Macadamia oil
- Brown algae extract
Equa-Derm Cream for oily and problem skin
Oily skin care, reduces sebum production, mattes and smoothes out the skin
Microbiome-friendly ingredient: alpha-glucan-oligosaccharide (BioEcolia®)
Other key ingredients:
- Butyl avocadate (avocutin) reduces sebum production by 30% in the first few weeks of use, reduces inflammation, tightens pores and improves the complexion.
- Indian Tamarind Seed Extract promotes the growth of healthy microflora, provides anti-inflammatory and moisturising effect.
- Agarikon extract (Fomes officinalis) conquers severe and chronic acne, suppresses the growth of even antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Agarikon extract can affect the structures of parasympatic nervous system in the skin. When the skin is oily, almost inevitably pores are widened due to the manifestations of specific vasoneurosis, which keeps the skin’s systems and capillaries in a state very similar to deep sleep. Agarikon ‘awakens’ the skin restoring healthy microcirculation and drainage, firms up the skin, tightens pores and smoothes out the skin surface eliminating the characteristic spongy look.
Blepharo-Rich Eye Cream (released in 2017)
Anti-stress anti-age eye cream.
Microbiome-friendly ingredient:
- Jojoba oil nourishes, protects and heals microinjuries in the skin, smoothing its surface.
- Olive squalene compensates for the deficit of the skin’s own squalene, restores the healthy level of fatty acids in the skin, repairing the skin’s protective mantle and improving water retention and resistance to harm.
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) helps oxygenise the skin, enhances all metabolic processes, from collagen synthesis to toxins’ removal.
- PALMITOYL DIPEPTIDE-5 DIAMINOBUTYROYL HYDROXYTHREONINE, PALMITOYL DIPEPTIDE-6 DIAMINOHYDROXYBUTYRATE (Syn-TACKS) a peptide complex, able to penetrate deep into the skin due to low molecular weight. Syn-TACKS improves cell metabolism and increases the syntheses of proteins: laminin V, integrin, collagen types IV, VII and XVII.
- Alteromonas filtrate – probiotic strengthening epidermal-dermal connection.
