Omega Shiso Complex: An exclusive complex obtained by an enzymatic activation of Shiso (Perilla) oil, which breaks up triglycerides into their constituents, fatty acids and glycerides, forming the richest vegan source of omega 3. Easily absorbed this lipid complex increases skin moisture, replenishes lost lipids, reinforces skin barrier function, soothes distressed skin and promotes skin elasticity and smoothness.

Squalane: Derived from Mediterranean olive oil, this botanical ingredient mimics natural skin lipids. Replenishes moisture, prevents moisture loss and restores skin's suppleness. Squalane also acts as an antioxidant to help protect the skin from damaging free radicals.

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).

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

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

Ceramide NS: A main component of the stratum corneum of the epidermis layer of human skin. Helps to repair the skin barrier function, improve skin hydration and reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Leaves skin smooth, supple and moisturised.

Beta-Sitosterol: One of several phytosterols (plant sterols) similar to cholesterol which occurs naturally in skin. Acts as emollient, anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing agent.

Glycosphingolipids: A type of glycolipid, which is built on a ceramide lipid moiety. Improve barrier function and moisture retention.

Inulin: A polysaccharide extracted from chicory roots. Supports the skin microbiome. Shows good moisturising and skin-conditioning properties.

Vitamin E Acetate (Tocopheryl Acetate): An acetic acid ester of Vitamin E. Acts as a strong antioxidant, enhances moisturisation and strengthens the skin barrier.

Glycerin: A vegetable-derived molecule naturally present in the skin. Acts an excellent humectant, a substance that attracts moisture from the environment and increases the amount of water in the surface layers of the skin.

Trehalose: A naturally occurring saccharide with moisturising, skin-conditioning and protective properties.

Lecithin: A vegetable-based phosphatidylcholine, a natural part of all cell membranes. Shows emollient, moisturising and smoothing properties.

Gluconolactone: A naturally occurring polyhydroxy acid (PHA) with metal chelating, moisturising, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity.

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.
