The Liftonin®-xpert eco is obtained from the juice of the leaves of Bulbine frutescens, a succulent plant from southern Africa. It belongs to the family of plant-based tensor actives and combines two components that rarely coexist in the same raw material.
The juice is rich in glycoproteins and mannan, a polysaccharide that retains water and forms a film on the surface. Glycoproteins support the organization of fibers in the dermis, where collagen and elastin build the structure, while mannan works on surface smoothness: the result is skin that looks firmer while also feeling softer to the touch—two sensations that usually require different ingredients.
It is suitable for loss of firmness and uneven texture, in face creams for skin that is beginning to sag. Use it morning and evening; the feeling of tighter skin is noticeable quickly, while the firming effect develops over the course of several weeks.
The Bulbine frutescens is a plant that grows in arid environments and stores water in its fleshy leaves: the same molecules that allow it to retain moisture under extreme conditions work on the skin. It is one of those cases in which a plant's survival strategy becomes a cosmetic ingredient.
