Helios Serum
Facial serum for all skin types, with silver birch bark extract and prickly pear oil
Description
When we set out to create a serum, our goal was to develop a formula suitable for all skin types—one that would holistically address a fundamental aspect of facial care: hydration. After a careful and thorough search into ingredients and their properties, Helios was born. Helios is a unisex product, designed for anyone seeking effective, balanced skincare.
It contains: (a) Silver birch bark extract. By containing the terpene betulin, this extract reinforces the proteins of the skin barrier and at the same time stimulates water-retaining aminoacid formation within the stratum corneum (Natural Moisturizing Factors – NMF). (b) Hydrogenated lecithin. It has the ability to retain water and reinforce the lipids of the skin barrier. (c) Opuntia (prickly pear) oil. One of the top oils for skin care. It strongly protects the skin barrier, it has a capacity to repair and it protects from irritation. (d) Panthenol, a.k.a. provitamin B5. Sensitive skins love it as it protects from redness and irritation. In addition, it provides the skin with excellent hydration e) Caffeine. Mostly associated with weight-loss products, it offers many benefits to skin care as well. It has antioxidant properties, improving the look of the skin and making it more radiant. In addition, it topically improves microcirculation helping with “swelling” and making the face more relaxed. With the subtle scent of heliotrope — reminiscent of your beloved Helia eye cream — this carefully curated formula comes together in perfect harmony. Each ingredient serves a specific purpose, with no unnecessary additives and a clear focus on effectiveness and balance.

BEHIND THE FORMULA
The 5 Active Ingredients of HELIOS serum:
1. Silver Birch Bark Extract: Birch bark contains the triterpene betulin. Betulin is the reason behind the plant’s resilience to harsh weather conditions.
Action: Thanks to its natural defensive properties, birch bark extract strengthens the proteins of the epidermal barrier (the “bricks”), while also stimulating the production of more water-retaining amino acids (NMF) within the stratum corneum. The result is an immediate sensation of hydrated skin.
2. Hydrogenated Lecithin: Mainly composed of hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine, a type of phospholipid that mimics the skin’s outer layer.
Action: It strengthens and protects the lipids of the skin barrier. At the same time, its water-retaining capacity helps replenish the skin’s naturally limited amount of moisture-retaining amino acids (NMF). The result is long-term hydration and improved skin elasticity.
3. Prickly Pear Seed Oil: One of the most premium cosmetic oils. This oil is extracted from the seeds of the prickly pear fruit and contains a high percentage of linoleic acid and a smaller percentage of oleic acid.
Action: The ratio of these two fatty acids is ideal for offering strong protection to the skin barrier, enhancing repair mechanisms, and significantly reducing the likelihood of irritation. The result is smooth and radiant skin.
4. Panthenol: Also known as provitamin B5, panthenol is ideal for all skin types—especially sensitive skin, which quickly benefits from its properties.
Action: It has soothing effects on the skin, reducing the appearance of redness and minor irritations, leaving the skin looking more radiant. It also supports wound healing and provides relief for minor burns. Another key benefit—especially in combination with the Helios serum—is its excellent moisturizing power.
5. Caffeine: Caffeine is a water-soluble compound found in the beans, leaves, and fruits of certain plants, including coffee. While commonly associated with slimming products, it offers remarkable benefits for facial skin as well.
Action: It has antioxidant properties, which help improve the appearance of the skin and make it look more radiant. Additionally, it enhances local microcirculation, reducing puffiness and promoting a more refreshed appearance.
