The accidental discovery, of the key natural organic ingredient that powers our line of skin care products, dates back to 1980 at a small farm in Chile. There, workers who routinely handled mollusks began noticing that the cuts and scrapes they incurred as a result of work were not getting infected, were healing quickly with no scarring, and their hands became very soft.

A few years latter a Spanish Doctor in medicine, specializing in oncology, discovered healing properties in the mollusks’ secretion by testing it in patients after observing that when they were close to his radiotherapy equipment, emitting gamma radiation to treat cancer, the creatures copiously secreted a lotion that protected them from the oxidizing effects of the radiation.

Validated by Scientific Screening

For years the Spanish co-authors of the following scientific paper had been working as “Sherlock Holmes of the Skin” to analyze, compare and detect the molecular activities that may unveil the intricate skin-regenerative properties of the macromolecules in the secretion that act as complex nano-machines to clean, repair, moisturize, orchestrate the regeneration and healing of skin cells and the skin matrix (in a way similar to how another mollusk achieves beauty: oysters coating an irritant to create a beautiful Pearl that can not possible be made so perfect in a lab or with man made machinery).

Several of the scientist’s findings were reported in Dermatology Journals in Spain (1996-2001) and in 2007 prestigious colleagues involved in skin cancer research, in the USA, have confirmed them.

The secretion or “serum”, as we prefer to call it because of how it supports the innate immune system of the skin, is now the basis of our complete skin care line of products, and of products prescribed by dermatologists in Europe for healing skin affected by radiotherapy for cancer or compromised by isotretinoin drugs.

It’s all about the way you support your own biology

Almost all skin care product lines you see this days, whether pricey or cheap, a clever concoction of natural actives or the new molecules of a pharmaceutical discovery; endorsed by celebrities, cosmetic giants, or doctors, promotes the same basic cleansing, exfoliation, moisturizing, toning, nourishing and concealing routine, and do not address the root cause of your skin concerns.

No wonder it is so hard to find something that works. If you want to see a real difference in your skin, there is now an easy way for healthier beautiful skin.

Keep reading below and find why those fanciful lotions and potions that are now sitting there looking good in your bathroom don’t work for even basic cleansing and moisturizing. And how you can easily deeply clean, dissolve dead, dull and worn out or abused skin with enzymes, while also moisturizing and properly nourishing your skin.

Also, why BIOCUTIS® skin care products will keep your skin clean, hydrated, firm, younger looking, radiant, and protected from the deleterious effects of solar radiation and free radicals, while also repairing and radically regenerating skin structures and cells to banish all signs of damaged or stressed skin, where others have failed.

And after two months or so you may even be joining the thousands of women who have stopped wearing foundation because they no longer need it. And look forward to a lifetime of healthy skin and graceful aging. Does your skin care regimen do that?

Skin care products are only as good as what they contain and how their ingredients help remove worn out and damaged skin tissues, retain moisture from within, and rebuild, protect and regenerate skin.

So, what is the new standard (benchmark) for efficacy in skin care ingredients?

I cannot give you here a full update of what is going on in the skin care industry… but I will give you some clues for you to decide what is in your best interest.

Here is an outline of those clues:

• I. First we fast forward to the marvels that have shaped the skin care industry in the last 50 years, with skin care ingredients like Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Retinol, Omega Fatty Acids, Antioxidants, etc., and how they are being replaced by more efficient ‘solutions’.
• II. The allure of natural skin care products finally taking hold in the modern era, with many of the popular skin care companies making the switch and turning back to Mother Nature for their ingredients.
• III. Biomimicry or the ability to mimic what we may learn from observing solutions made by biological (bio) organisms and applying them to the design of industrial skin care ingredients.
• IV. Natural solutions embodied by biological organisms and how they shed light or insights about what is necessary for the effective care of human skin lesions and skin affected by immune disorders.
