Silver birch bark extract
Silver birch bark extract contains the triterpene betulin. Betulin offers the plant protection from harsh weather conditions. The bark extract, with its innate protective properties, reinforces the proteins of the skin barrier while it stimulates the formation of water-retaining aminoacids within the stratum corneum.
Hydrogenated lecithin
It mainly consists of hydrogenated phosphatidylcholines, a class of phospholipids that imitate the external layer of the skin. They reinforce and protect the skin barrier lipids while, having the ability to retain water, they make up for the small number of water-retaining aminoacids naturally contained in our skin.
Opuntia (prickly pear) oil
One of the top oils for skin care. Opuntia oil comes from the seeds of the plant. It contains a high amount of linoleic acid and a lesser amount of oleic acid. This acid ratio is ideal to achieve good skin barrier protection, a strong repair capacity and at the same time the possibility of irritation is drastically reduced.
Panthenol
Panthenol, a.k.a. provitamin B5. An ideal ingredient for any type of skin. Sensitive skins in particular immediately benefit from it. It has a soothing effect on the skin, reducing the appearance of redness and irritation and making it look more radiant. It helps with the healing of wounds and offers relief from scorching. An important property for the Helios serum is also its strong hydrating properties.
Caffeine
Caffeine is a hydrophilic compound found in the leaves and fruits of some plants, including the coffee plant. Mostly associated with weight-loss products, it also offers benefits for skin care.

Atecoron plus
It is a mixture that consists of collagen that has been processed (atelocollagen) and different molecular weight hyaluronic acids. Atelocollagen is a polypeptide with 3 peptide chains rich in the aminoacids proline and hydroxyproline. Hyaluronic acid, one of the main constituents of the skin, is a polysaccharide formed by the combination of glucuronic acid and acetyl-glucosamine. It is located in the connective tissue and the extracellular matrix and it has the ability to retain water. The lower the molecular weight the deeper it penetrates the skin, thus hydrating it. The combination of hyaluronic acids with different molecular weights offers hydration in different layers of the epidermis and at the same time, because of the action of atelocollagen, the epidermis is rejuvenated.
