- Stalilised Retinol (Vitamin A). It is a powerful antioxidant that improves the texture and radiance of the skin. Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines as it stimulates the production of new cells and activates the production of collagen.

- Organic Propolis from our ecologically managed bees an excellent antibiotic with strong antimicrobial & healing action.

- Natural Prebiotics, which favor the development of a complex microbiome and make our skin microflora and our skin more resistant.

- Organic Jojoba oil. The arachidonic acid it contains balances the levels of oiliness resulting in a less oily skin. It does not clog the pores but leaves the skin silky. At the same time it is known for its great affinity with the natural sebum of our skin, which is its natural lubricant. When the pores tend to work slowly or when they become blocked (usually due to the use of the wrong type or low quality cosmetic products) then sebum accumulates. As a result, the pores appear larger and the surface of the sebum oxidizes on contact with the air, resulting in dark spots. Due to this affinity, jojoba oil acts as a solvent, diluting the accumulated sebum and helping it to flow and eliminate blackheads.

- Organic Wild Rose Extract. With a very light texture, it is absorbed immediately without leaving any oiliness. Helps balance sebum secretion, reduce pore size and remove dark spots. Its high content of vitamin A (retinol) and omega-3 fatty acids, is an ideal combination for reducing wrinkles and expression lines.

- Organic Yarrow extract mainly for its astringent action for reducing the size of the pores but also for its soothing properties

Propolis extract

Propolis is a sticky substance produced by bees. More specifically, propolis results from the collection of resinous secretions from the barks of plants, and they enrich it with wax, pollen, enzymes and other substances.

The chemical composition of propolis as well as its physical properties depend directly on the flora of each region, as different plants give different possibilities to bees to collect resinous secretions.

It usually consists mainly of resin (50%), wax (30%), essential oils (10%), pollen (5%) and the remaining 5% are aromatic substances, sugars, balms, etc.

The propolis we use comes from our small, ecologically managed family apiary.

The extract we produce from this particular propolis is of extremely high purity and content.

It is used to treat skin diseases (acne, skin ulcers, fungal infections). It has action against pathogenic bacteria, viruses and fungi as well as anti-inflammatory action. The antiviral action of propolis appears to be one of its most beneficial properties.

NATURAL PREBIOTICS

Inulin, Fructose

This prebiotic is based on inulin extracted from chicory root and it works to selectively supporting protective organisms to help restore the microbiota layer after disruptions. Secondary benefits include natural conditioning effects for skin.

Being the first barrier, our skin microbiota is constantly attacked by the harsh environment. The delicate balance of our skin microbiota can be disturbed by pollution, excessive UV, domestic chemicals, aggressive cosmetics. Their only survival kit are dead corneocytes, sebum and oxidized skin lipids. Sometimes this is simply not enough to cope with the environment.

When this barrier weakens, our skin becomes sensitive, dry, infected, itchy and wrinkled: the skin ages.

A classic cosmetic approach does not take into account the needs of this crucial barrier. The solution to slow down skin aging and to keep the skin in a healthy shape is to energize and to protect this precious skin microbiota barrier.

Prebiotics make our skin microbiota and our skin more resistant.

Protecting, reinforcing and balancing the human skin microbiota is an essential strategy in preserving our skin health and beauty.

Retinol (Vitamin A)

Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride, Phospholipids, Retinol

Retinol, otherwise known as Vitamin A, is an established anti-aging active supported by over 40 years’ worth of research.

It can help to reduce the effects of photo-aging and extrinsic stress on the skin.

Retinol works by increasing cellular turnover, inducing epidermal thickening. These actions result in a minimized appearance of wrinkles, a bolstered skin thickness and the slowing of collagen degradation giving firmer more elastic skin.

In addition retinol can help to lighten hyperpigmentation, or brown spots caused by sun exposure, to even the complexion and improve translucency.

In personal care retinol is often chosen over other retinoid forms, as it exhibits only minimal signs of erythema proving to be an optimal choice when comparing efficacy vs skin irritation.

It is well known that retinol in all forms readily deteriorates when exposed to light and air, so sun exposure is avoided after its use.

The retinol Myrro Skincare uses is encapsulated in liposomes, an advanced technology that helps to improve not only delivery of the retinol, but its stability as well, making it non photo-sensitive.

To sum up, retinol:

- Increases enzyme activity and normalize cell division.

- Rejuvenates and nourishes the skin.

- Stimulates cell renewal.

- Can improve appearance of aged, dry, damaged and blemished skin.

- Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

- Improves general appearance and texture of the skin.

- Reduces flaking, improves collagen production.

- Helps to boost the natural elasticity of the skin.
