Simplicité products are packed with particularly effective versions of vitamins A,B,C,D and E.
These vitamins are found in 16 particular medicinal grade plant extracts used throughout our range.
The vitamins in our products are so effective because they
Another word for synergy is co-working.
When these vitamins are 'co-working' their combined power is far greater than what one or a couple can achieve.
This co-working - working in synergy - is the only realistic way that vitamins in skin care can be true skin transformers.
That's why our products with co-working collections of vitamins will easily restore luminosity, brightness, and even out skin tone.
We don’t extract and eat part of an apple - we eat the whole fruit.
Nor do we extract and eat part of say, broccoli. We eat the whole vegetable.
It needs to be the same with our skin.
The only effective 'skin vitamins' that can improve skin and help it to resist ageing are nourishing, active vitamins that are part of whole, quality plants used in product formulations.
The best source of skin care nutrients is plants because plants contain numerous compounds that have “nutritive, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties” that “simultaneously act on different molecular targets in the body”.[i]
Apart from the vitamins and minerals found in plants, scientists have identified over 25000 biologically active plant nutrient components[ii], usually referred to as phytonutrients.
Just a few examples of these phytonutrients are:
Broad spectrum nutrients in completely natural plant form decrease abnormal cell behaviour when nutrients are combined, rather than just one class of nutrient taken.
Scientific studies have shown that it is:
“carefully selected combinations of natural, plant-derived bioactive compounds and micronutrients that improve skin regeneration and skin elasticity.”[iii]
These combinations of nutrients enhance collagen, boost antioxidant defence and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles because they work synergistically.
This means that the interaction of each element produces a greater effect than if each individual element was used in isolation.[iv]
Most products in the Simplicité range incorporate in their ingredient lists some combination of the 16 particular medicinal grade plant extracts that contain vitamins A,B,C,D and E.
That means you only need to use the most basic Simplicité daily skin routine to be 'feeding' your skin many multiples of vitamins and nutrients.
Even our gentle cleansers are formulated using a synergistic combination of nutrients.
