Luxury skincare from STEMULATION

Stemulationboostcreme_44

Stemulation is based on the science that stem cells can be effectively used for skin rejuvenation, tissue repair and wound healing. A research team of specialists spent two years capturing growth factors from adult human skin cells, which they turned into an active ingredient and the basis for Stemulation products. These growth factors stimulate collagen and the reproduction of new skin cells to reduce wrinkles, eliminate sun spots and smooth scars and fine lines. It truly is a groundbreaking (and technology-backed) new way to achieve younger-looking skin!

The Stemulation line includes a serum, cleanser, exfoliant and face and body creams. 

Groomed LA's picks from the Stemulation (www.stemulation.com ) line –

A Breakthrough in Anti-aging.

Through 30 years of scientific and clinical development, our unparalleled medical advisory board has created a unique derivative of stem cells that can be absorbed directly into the skin. Now, called Stemulation, it has become the most powerful regenerative mechanism for anti-aging on the market.

The Science Behind It.

Our revolutionary technology is based on advanced stem cell research and the effects of topical application of cell derivatives combined a clinically proven highly concentrated antioxidant.

This antioxidant is a highly effective natural and organic ingredient that has been proven through clinical trials to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by 46% and improve the tightening and firmness of skin tissue by 65%.

Stem Cells and Aging.

Stem cells in general have a legendary power for rejuvenation by triggering the production of new healthy cells in the human body. Stem cells are our "natural" defense against deterioration of the body. When we reach the age of 50 we have roughly 2% of the stem cells our bodies were born with. Since stem cells repair all forms of deterioration, the lack of available stem cells contributes to the aging of our skin.

Is the Technology Safe?

Yes. The 100% natural and organic stem cell extract (Stemulation™) is pure and safe. The active stem cell ingredients in Stemulation are non-pathogenic, ecologically friendly and free of all chemical additives. There is no injection and there are no known side effects.

Organic MOOR SPA masks: bio available ingredients, sea kelp, Moor extract and more!

M101_Facial Mask

Popular for years in European wellness clinics and spas and sold in 16 countries,  these 100% naturally sourced products are now launching in the US!   Moor Spa is ranked #1 Safest Spa Line by the EWG at www.moorspa.com.

The line is completely free of synthetics and each product comes with its own certificate listing all ingredients and the actual source of each, so you don't have to be a chemist to understand what's in the formula.
I'm mad about their masks, but want to get my hands on their dry skin brushes and aroma balancing blends and bath products.
 
Facial Mask is a 100% organic mask for all skin types, featuring the exclusive Austrian moor extract for deep cleansing, exfoliation and  increased circulation. It's bio available, which means your skin can actually absorb the nutrients (minerals, antioxidant, humic acid, fulvic acid) from the mask.   It's great for all skin types, and my oily, sensitive skin is refined and glowing, with smaller, clear pores after one treatment.   It's very stimulating, so best to start with a 5 minute treatment.
 
Kelzyme Mask is Moor Spa's newest product.  This enzyme mask containing fossilized, calcified sea kelp from a pristine source in Nevada.  It's a creamy, luxurious treatment provides superior exfoliation, brightening & tightening. Those with rosacea or redness will notice a more even skin tone post treatment.
 
Both masks can also be used on the body.
Other products include additional masks, cleansers, serums, moisturizers and more. Poke around the entire line of over 60 face, body & wellness products,  all containing the unique Moor extract, which offers anti aging and anti inflammatory benefits.
