Ancient tradition and modern technology combine to create a natural solution for oily, inflamed, and acne-prone skin.

INCI Name: Scutellaria Baicalensis Root powder (and) Portulaca Oleracea extract (and) Chrysanthemum Indicum Flower extract (and) Rheum Palmatum (rhubarb) Root extract (and) Dehydroacetic Acid (and) Benzyl Alcohol (and) Propylene Glycol (and) Water (aqua).

In recent years research elucidated the role of excessive inflammation in acne development leading to deeper lesions and scarring. While many triggers such as bacterial activity, lipid oxidation, and DNA damage initiate inflammation, controlling them is just not enough. Inflammation enhances itself in a vicious cycle due to secondary damages leading to pro-inflammatory balance.

Z-Care™ is a new botanical solution aimed not only at the inflammatory triggers but at  inflammation itself to stop the cycle and support prevention of deeper lesions and scars. The blend has its roots in the ancient traditions of China, through a unique collaboration with traditional Chinese medicine experts, while being backed up by modern scientific standards. Its composing extracts are purified by affinity chromatography in order to ensure active ingredients content and lower unwanted residues.

The efficacy of Z-Care™ was established in-vitro and in clinical studies demonstrating

• Anti-Inflammatory activity - 95% reduction in PGE2 levels
• Anti-Acne support - 30% reduction after 12 days (tested on 28 women)
• Sebum reduction - 26% reduction after 21 days (tested on 10 males)

Z-Care™ safety was demonstrated in Repeated Insult Patch test and in-vitro eye irritation model as well as in the clinical tests themselves.

The blend is a yellow liquid solution.

Recommended doses are 5% for anti-inflammatory and acne spot treatment support, 2% for sebum regulation, and 1 to 2% for skin and lesion maintenance.
