Key ingredients:

Base: A blend of natural esters with emollient and repairing properties.

Provitamin D3: Also known as 7-Dehydrocholesterol, provitamin D3 is converted to vitamin D3 upon exposure to sunlight. Reinforces skin barrier function, increases skin resistance against environmental aggressors and supports the skin’s natural recovery.

Proprietary Botanical Blend: A unique botanical blend containing 6 plant extracts rich in Vitamin D: Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), Lichen (Usnea barbata), White mushroom (Agaricus bisporus), Shiitake (Lentinus edodes) and Plankton. Shows fortifying and restoring properties.

Phospholipids: Major building components in the structure of cellular membranes. These natural, skin-identical ingredients demonstrate excellent moisturising, repairing and protective properties.

Cholesterol/Lanosterol Esters: Esters with nourishing, moisturising, repairing and softening properties.

Coco-Caprylate/Caprate: Completely natural vegetable-derived esters. Act as a fast-spreading emollient with excellent moisturising, skin-conditioning and refatting properties.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: An ester derived from coconut oil and glycerin. Shows excellent emollient, moisturising and skin-replenishing properties.

Squalane: Squalane, derived from olive oil, mimics natural skin lipids and thereby reinforces skin barrier, replenishes lipids, prevents moisture loss and restores skin's suppleness.

Vitamin F: A complex composed of polyunsaturated essential free fatty acids; linoleic acid and linolenic acid, derived from safflower oil. Restores and reinforces lipid barrier function and prevents transdermal water loss (TEWL).

Glycolipids: Biomimetic lipid molecules with restructuring, repairing and protective properties. Strengthen barrier function and boost the hydro-retaining capacity of the skin.

Plant fatty acids: A mix of 3 fatty acids: palmitic acid, stearic acid and oleic acid derived from almond oil, olive oil, linseed oil and borage oil. These fatty acids deeply nourish the skin and improve skin smoothness and elasticity.

Phytosterols: Lipids derived from soybeans (Glycine soja). Structurally similar to skin’s natural lipids, these sterols moisturise skin, reduce water loss, strengthen natural barrier function and sooth the skin.

Cetylhydroxyproline Palmitamide: A pseudo ceramide resembling natural Ceramide NS in structure and activity. Maintains skin barrier function, prevents moisture loss, increases skin elasticity and improves smoothness.

Rapeseed (Brassica campestris) phytosterols: A mixture of phytosterols derived from the rapeseed plant. Due to excellent biomimetic and soothing properties, these phytosterols help to strengthen barrier function and enhance the skin’s natural repair process.

Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba) oil: A vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the white meadowfoam. Rich in eicosenoic acid (omega 9 fatty acid), this oil shows excellent moisturising, repairing, softening and smoothing properties. Prevents moisture loss and gives the skin a soft cushion feeling.

Linseed (Linum usitatissimum) oil: An oil obtained from the seed of the linseed-flax plant. Rich in alpha-linolenic acid (Omega-3), this plant oil shows emollient, moisturising, refatting, conditioning and softening properties.

Avocado (Persea gratissima) oil: Rich in omega-9, the oil of avocado shows excellent nourishing, moisturising, emollient, regenerating and softening properties.

Sunflower (Helianthus annus) seed oil: The oil obtained from the seeds of Sunflower is rich in linoleic acid (Omega-6). It demonstrates excellent moisturising, nourishing, protective and soothing properties. The extract of sunflower seeds is rich in vitamin E, and demonstrates protective and skin-conditioning properties.

Soybean (Glycine soja) oil: Structurally similar to skin’s natural lipids, sterols from soybean oil moisturise the skin, reduce water loss, strengthen natural barrier function and soothe the skin. The extract of the soybean seed provides antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, collagen-boosting properties and regenerative properties.

Isoamyl Laurate: An ester of vegetable origin with emollient and skin-conditioning properties.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol): A naturally derived vitamin with powerful antioxidant and photoprotective properties. Tocopherol is an excellent moisturiser that helps to reduce water loss and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.

Yeast: A filtrate of the lysate (the solution consisting of the material released from cell lysis;  cellular disruption) obtained by the fermentation of yeast (Saccharomyces). Rich in amino acids, essential minerals, beta-glucan and vitamins. Possesses anti-inflammatory, revitalising and protective properties. Increases cell respiration and metabolism, stimulates oxygen consumption and enhances skin repair.

Bisabolol: An active molecule extracted from Chamomile. Possesses strong antioxidant, anti-irritant, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.

Hyaluronic Acid: A full spectrum of different molecular weights (very low, low and medium) of pure hyaluronic acid working in synergy. Shows multiple activities: improves skin moisture, strengthens the barrier function, helps to retain and maintain skin elasticity, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and restores skin suppleness.

Hydroxyproline: The main amino acid in skin collagen. Stimulates collagen production, increases skin firmness and elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Glycine: An amino acid with multiple benefits: increases collagen production, promotes skin repair and regeneration and improves moisture retention.

Proline: An amino acid used as a building block in the production of proteins. Increases collagen production, improves skin elasticity and promotes skin repair and regeneration.

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis): Rosemary leaf extract is rich in rosmarinic acid, carnosic acid, caffeic acid, ursolic acid and betulinic acid. Demonstrates multiple beneficial properties: antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-septic, anti-inflammatory, astringent, toning and healing.

Dr. Marko Lens, the creator of Zelens, is a consultant plastic and reconstructive surgeon and a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. Internationally renowned in the field of skin cancer and skin ageing.

Zelens is a unique range blended with a remarkable number of unique ingredients, to prevent the signs of ageing whilst improving skin’s current tone and texture. In addition to new biotech actives, the range uses potent plant-derived ingredients, working in synergy to protect, regenerate and repair the skin. Zelens products combine powerful high-performance active biotechnology ingredients with the unique blend of plant-derived molecules with potent anti-aging and healing properties.

But simply combining ingredients derived from both sources does not create truly effective skin care. Ingredients must be carefully selected, science-backed and integrated in a formula to work in synergy.  Only the exact balance and synergistic action of all ingredients can effectively trigger cellular processes necessary for skin regeneration and repair.

The sophisticated technology of our formulations including multiple ingredients that work in balance and synergy is essential to the remarkable effectiveness of Zelens products.

All Zelens skincare products have been subjected to extensive independent clinical testing at international research institutes to prove both safety and efficacy. None of the products have been tested on animals.
