Our Patent: Argania Active Complex™
Protect, treat and glow with our patented Argania Active Complex™, a breakthrough antioxidant complex for the treatment of sun damage and photoaging.
UNITED STATES PATENT ARGAN EXTRACTS FOR THE TREATMENT OF DERMATOLOGICAL CONDITIONS Patent No.: US 11,304,987 B2 Date of Patent.: April 19, 2022
FRÉ’s anti-aging patent, Argania Active Complex™, combines argan oil with the stem cells and leaf water of the resilient desert argan tree. These three argan elements form an antioxidant powerhouse that fight free radical aggressors and work synergistically to minimize the damaging effects of sun on the skin. The complex slows the oxidative process to fight UV damage, minimizing the signs of photoaging like fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, dark spots and leathery texture.
Harnessing the Power of Argan: Argania Active Complex™
To create Argania Active Complex™ we started with Argania Spinosa, commonly known as the argan tree. Argan is native to the deserts of Southern Morocco. For generations, this humble tree has been hailed by indigenous populations as a kind of wonder plant because of the intensely nourishing properties of its oil, which reputedly helps prevent cancer, cardiovascular disease and rheumatism.
Argan oil's high proportion of potent antioxidants and fatty acids has made it a popular ingredient in treatments for dry hair and scaly skin. But to protect and repair UV damage Argan oil's high proportion of potent antioxidants and fatty acids has made it a popular ingredient in treatments for dry hair and scaly skin. But to protect and repair UV damage Argania Active Complex™ combines argan oil with the stem cells and leaf water of the resilient desert argan tree. These three elements work together synergistically to fight photoaging caused by UV damage.
Argan Stem Cells
Argan stem cells are based on plant stem cells that are derived from the Argania Spinosa tree. These are the first active ingredients to demonstrate a proven effect protecting real dermal stem cells. Argan stem cells revitalize and protect dermal stem cells. They reduce wrinkles, tighten and tone skin tissue, increase skin firmness and density, and foster deep-seated rejuvenation of the skin.
Argan Leaf Water
Argan leaf water is rich in phenolic compounds that are known to act as skin protectors and foster collagen regeneration, leaving skin looking younger.
Argan Oil
Argan oil is rich with vitamin A & E, antioxidants, omega-6 fatty acids and linoleic acid that deeply nourish and hydrate skin.
Unique Blend Of Antioxidants
Our complex contains carotenoids, polyphenols, vitamin E, ferulic acid, and squalene enriched with flavonoids of the Argan tree. The combination of these antioxidants helps reduce the effects of aging.
Vitamin E: A vital antioxidant and anti-inflammatory element. Acts as a barrier against cell aging and prevents the evaporation of moisture from the epidermis in the skin, keeping the skin moisturized.
Polyphenols: Have antiseptic, anti-aging and antioxidant properties.
Carotenoids: These natural fat-soluble elements protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation and free radical reactivity, helping to maintain healthy skin.
Ferulic Acid: Helps protect the skin from UV radiation and free radical activity.
Flavonoids: Have strong anti-oxidative properties, inhibit the free radical activity, protect collagen, and preserve the skin against premature aging. Protect the skin by absorbing UV radiation, therefore providing a sunscreen effect.
Squalene: Protects cells against bacterial & fungal infections, while also protecting from UV light.
Essential Fatty Acids: Fatty Acids are important for regulating and maintaining healthy skin. This chemical is essential to the body.Sterols: Sterols assist in keeping the structural integrity of the outermost layer of human skin and help retain moisture in the skin.
Collagen Degeneration and Elasticity Loss
Collagen degeneration and elasticity loss can be aggravated by regular intense exercise.
Irritation, Redness and Itching
The skin's delicate pH balance is upset by sweat that remains on the skin's surface, causing irritation, redness, itching and blotchiness.
Over Dryness
Dehydration and over-dryness caused by sweat are worsened by extreme weather and environmental conditions.
Sun-Damaged skin from UVA, UVB & IRA & Dark Spots
The sun's ultra-violet rays (UVA and UVB) have a harmful effect on skin, regardless of the weather (approx. 80% of these rays can pass through clouds). The sun's infra-red rays (IRA) generate free radicals and have a premature photo-aging impact.
Premature Aging
Premature aging is accelerated by sun damage, which is intensified when the skin's photosensitivity is increased by sweat.
Loss of key vitamins and minerals
key minerals and vitamins are lost throught sweat during exercise (Lactate, Urea, Magnesium, Glycine, Citrulline, Creatinine, and Uric Acid).
Breakouts
Pimples, blackheads and blotches are typical breakout symptoms, which are triggered when facial skin pores are clogged by sweat, combined with everyday grime.
