Anni Mateo Anti-aging Clearing Marine Detox Cream 

An anti-aging and anti-inflammatory bioactive treatment for all kinds of skin problems such as Acne, Rosacea, Eczema & Dermatitis, but also uneven skin tone and enlarged pores as well as wrinkles.

It also works great as an intense moisturizer for anyone who would like to give their skin a bit of extra care and nourishment. Please note, this cream contains high concentration of natural plant extracts and is therefore light green (see photo).

It is an amazing cream which makes the skin wonderfully supple and perfectly hydrated for 48 hours, without making it greasy.

Packed with high concentration of proven actives as well as Marine Seaweed extract and detoxifying Chlorella algae extract, rich in chlorophyll and minerals. In addition, it contains a large number of potent anti-aging/wrinkle fighters & Collagen builders.

This cream has a fantastic rich, but yet very penetrating texture which is not greasy. It is intensely hydrating and suitable for both night and day.

It is a completely natural cream, free of petroleum products, parabens, silicones, fillers, synthetic fragrances, colours & harsh preservatives etc. Most of the ingredients are food grade. 

The active ingredients above are dissolved/dispersed in soothing, healing and hydrating Aloe Vera Juice and Green Tea Extract (containing polyphenols with great anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties) and pure oils and butters, each one contributing with its own unique properties.

Anni Mateo Anti-aging Cosmeceuticals is a new line of bioactive skin care products with a goal to offer the very best in anti-aging skin care that gives a visible and lasting impact. This goal stems from my own interest in putting together a super active "All-in-One" cream that contains everything known to reduce all signs of aging, specifically wrinkles and sagging skin, but also pigmentation, dull/uneven skin and large pores. The active ingredients have to be concentrated enough to work. I have bought numerous products myself throughout the years, many of them with a lot of promising active ingredients, only to find that they did not work as they were not concentrated enough. Since the “original” Anni Mateo “All-in-One” Cream was launched, the range of Anni Mateo creams has steadily increased as I have been asked to produce creams and other products tailored to different needs.


As part of my goal the products have to be very affordable. This is achieved by purchasing straight from manufacturer without middle men involved and due to no expensive marketing and fancy packaging. The products will speak for themselves and only a truly active quality product will sell this way in the long run. A second goal is to offer only products with natural ingredients, free of petroleum products, parabens, silicones, fillers, synthetic perfumes, colours or harsh preservatives etc. More active products will be launched over the next few months, please check www.annimateo.com


 

 

Important info and application: This cream is yellow/light greenish as it contains Chlorella Algae extract, Idebenone (Coenzyme Q10 evolved) and Sea Buckthorn oil which are orange/reddish. This is a rich, but yet very penetrating cream which is intensely hydrating without leaving any greasiness. It smells wonderful due to natural ingredients and essential oils. Due to lack of availability of non-harsh natural/suitable sun protection factors Anni Mateo Clearing Marine Detox Cream only has a SPF of ~5. Therefore, if out in the sun for prolonged periods, use additional sun cream. This cream will do what is says and you should notice a difference in skin clearing and texture at the end of one jar (probably before), which will be more and more pronounced with continued use as some of the ingredients work over time, e.g. for Collagen production and for reduction of large pores.

Ø     The eye cream is gorgeous! So little is needed, it does tingle a little, but actually that's a nice sensation! I could feel 

a slight lifting effect, then just a lovely comfortable nourished feeling.


Now onto the face cream. It's packed to the brim! Smells lovely. More tingling, which is invigorating, 

and them that lovely, almost 'full-up' feeling when you just know you've put enough on your face & neck and any 

more would be a waste! It feels wonderful on the neck. I do have those circle things, but the cream 

seemed to wipe them out, or at least that's how it felt!

So, in my humble opinion? I'll be sticking with your range because I trust it, you very obviouly know what you're doing 

and it feels wonderful on my skin. Another thing, I don't wear much make-up, but my skin feels so good at the moment that 

I can imagine with continued use of such high quality face creams, a person would need even less. 

Congratulations, you have a wonderful range and thank you for sharing it with us!  Marie x

What exactly do the ingredients do?

*R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (R-ALA; Same as Dithiolane-3-pentanoic Acid-D3PA):  Makes your facial capillaries dilate and increases the cells capacity to heal damaged skin and create new skin cells which re-energizes the skin which results in a firmer, less-lined and smoother look. A world-renowned dermatologist from Yale University's Medical School conducted studies on his patients after applying ALA on their skin. Here are the stunning results: Within one to three days, eye puffiness decreased. A bright, healthy glow emerged within five days. Tremendous shrinkage of enlarged pores in two weeks (this was surprising and scientists don't have an explanation). Decrease in depth of lines and wrinkles within 8 to 12 weeks. Acne and other scars improved by 70%-80% after 6 months. Within three months of treatment, very ruddy skin began to take on a "Porcelain-Like Appearance. ALA directly recycles and extends the metabolic life spans of vitamin C and Coenzyme Q10, and it indirectly renews vitamin E. Active ingredient in Perricone, MD line.

 

*Vitamin C Ester: Vitamin C Ester is a very powerful form of skin-compatible Vitamin C, which is essential for the production of collagen. It helps protect the skin from damage by free radicals, reducing lines, wrinkles and discoloration and improves skin tone and texture. It also works near miracles when it comes to inflammation. Vitamin C Ester is used in treating fine lines and wrinkles on sun damaged skin, sagging skin that is losing its firmness because of damaged or lost collagen and sunburned, inflamed, or irritated skin.

 

*Idebenone/Coenzyme Q10: Idebenone is Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), but a more evolved version. It has been designed to make it more absorbable into the human cells and thus is claimed to be far superior. Idebenone does not oxidise and create free radicals under low oxygen conditions, whereas CoQ10 does. Coenzyme Q10 is important for skin care as it plays a vital role in the production of collagen and other proteins that make up the extra cellular matrix. When the extra cellular matrix is disrupted or depleted, skin will lose its elasticity, smoothness, and tone which can cause wrinkles and premature aging. CoQ10 help to maintain overall skin integrity and reduce the signs of aging. Topically applied, CoQ10 can penetrate the cell layers of the skin and may attenuate the depth of wrinkles due to photo aging, as well as epithelial cell turnover. By functioning as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger, CoQ10 can enhance our natural defence system against environmental stress. CoQ10 is also useful in sun care products. Data has demonstrated a reduction of wrinkles with long-term use of CoQ10 in skin care products. It is also called ubiquinone, the "ubiquitous quinone" because it is present in plants and animals, including the human skin.

 

*Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic Acid is known as the most effective moisturizer ever discovered as it absorbs between 500 and 1,000 times its weight in water. Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in the body and is responsible for cushioning and lubricating connective tissue. Deficiencies of Hyaluronic Acid (which generally comes with age) result in a long list of abnormalities including wrinkles in the skin. Studies have shown that supplementation of Hyaluronic Acid has an enormous ability to prevent and reverse these aging abnormalities. This powerful moisturizer and humectant for skin care formulas is also promoting the reduction of wrinkles by improving capillary health and supporting skin nourishment. Hyaluronic Acid forms a thin transparent visco elastic surface film that helps to preserve the characteristics of youthful and healthy skin: suppleness, elasticity and tone.

 

*MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane): MSM is food grade organic sulphur considered to be nature's beauty mineral due to its ability to enhance collagen bundles. On the skin it is useful in the treatment of skin disorders such as psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis, and in one study the topical application of MSM showed very positive effects on treating ichtyosis - a rare incurable dermatological disease - characterized by dry, thick and scaly skin. The sulfur contained in MSM is also used in the skin for collagen synthesis, and helps to keep the collagen fibers in the skin flexible and prevents cross-linking of these fibers (cross-linking is normally seen in old aged skin). The sulfur also helps the body to produce more sulfur bonds, and in so doing keeps the skin even more pliable and youthful looking. It is often used because the effect it has on wound healing.

 

*Chlorella Extract: The freshwater Algae Chlorella is well known for its detoxifying effects. It has been shown to be useful in a number of ways for human health, i.e. strengthening our immune systems, accelerating the healing of wounds, injuries and ulcers, helping to protect us against toxic pollutants, normalizing digestion and bowel function, stimulating growth and repair to tissues, retarding aging and protecting us against radiation. Chlorella's skin-enhancing nutrients include age-fighting antioxidants, the highest amount of detoxifying chlorophyll of any known substance and Chlorella Growth Factor, a complex rich in nucleic acids critical for cellular growth, renewal and repair.

 

*Seaweed Extract: Seaweed (Bladderwrack) Extract contains fucoidan which aids in collagen synthesis and thus restores tone and elasticity to the skin. Seaweed may also benefit problem skin. The presence of poly-galactosides and polyfucose form a protective layer over the hair and skin and help retain water levels. They may also help protect against environmental damage. Seaweed extract also contains vitamins B1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 along with essential trace minerals and may help reduce inflammation.

 

*Squalane: Squalane is a natural hydrocarbon and triterpene derived from a variety of plant and animal sources. It is a component of human sebum. The chemically inert nature of squalane makes it useful in cosmetic applications, where it is used as an emollient and moisturizer. Squalane in this cream is derived from Olive oil and is absorbed quickly by the skin. It is well proven that Squalane increases the spreadability of vegetable oils and fats on the skin.

 

*Niacinamide, Vit. B3: Topical application of niacinamide results in increased synthesis of collagen, keratin, involucrin and flaggrin. It also decreases pruritus and inflammation, decrease oiliness, alleviate atopic dermatitis, and decrease UV-induced skin cancers. These are just a few of the beneficial effects of topical application of niacinamide to the skin.

 

*Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein: Wheat protein has been shown as one of the most effective pore minimizers in modern skin care, providing the porcelain look when utilized in facial cleansers, toners, serums, gels, or lotions. Provides balanced moisture, and gently nourishes.

 

*Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein: About one quarter of all of the protein in your body is collagen. Collagen is a major structural protein, forming molecular cables that strengthen the tendons and vast, resilient sheets that support the skin and internal organs. Collagen provides structure to our bodies, protecting and supporting the softer tissues and connecting them with the skeleton. As we age, our production of Collagen slows, especially if we don’t get enough Vitamin C in our diets. Many cosmetic ingredients of today are used to enhance or stimulate Collagen production, because it is a vital building block of youthful, healthy skin and hair.

 

*Hydrolyzed Soy Protein: Soy is an awesome source of Isoflavones. The role of isoflavones is widely appreciated and is currently the subject of intense research. Isoflavones appear to protect the skin against hormone-related aging, such as in menopause. Isoflavones can have estrogenic activity, for instance if during menopause the body's natural level of estrogen drops, isoflavones can compensate by binding to the same receptor sites. As we age, our hormone levels drop and our skin, the biggest organ, shows the results. Hydrolyzed Soy Protein helps bring back a youthful radiance in skin care.

 

*Red Raspberry Seed oil: An active oil with one of the highest anti-oxidant levels due to its high broad spectrum vitamin E and essential fatty acid content. The oil is one of the best choices for anti-inflammatory skin care, astringent and softening anti-aging skin care and natural sun protection products. Very powerful in the atopic dermatitis arena and a fantastic choice for eczema and psoriasis products as well as products for burned/damaged and wrinkled kin.

 

*D-Calcium Pantothenate (Pro vit B5, Panthenol): Application of panthenol ointment to the skin have been shown to accelerate the closure of skin wounds and increase the strength of scar tissue in animals. Adding panthenol to cultured human skin cells given an artificial wound increased the number of migrating skin cells and their speed of migration, effects likely to accelerate wound healing. This vitamin is also a component of coenzyme A (CoA), required in synthesis of fatty acids and sphingolipids. These components are of crucial importance for stratum corneum lipid bilayers and cell membrane integrity. It improves and increases the moisture-retention capacity of the skin. Dry skin stays supple and elastic for longer. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-itching effect and it stimulates skin regeneration leading to better healing of small wounds, scars and blisters.

 

*Vitamin A Palmitate (Retinol Palmitate): Clinical studies have shown vitamin A to have properties that block the absorption of harmful UVA and UVB rays, as well as a stimulating effect on cell regeneration. It has been clinically shown to improve the appearance of striae (stretch marks) and regulate epidermal (skin) cell growth. It firms, boosts and nourishes the skin and maintains the skins elasticity. Vitamin A counteracts inflammations and protects cell membranes and other structures within the cells from the damage caused by free radicals and in this way helps to prevent skin disorders. It also plays an important role in the functioning of the eyes and the making of new skin and mucous membranes.

 

*Ginko Biloba Extract: Ginkgo Biloba leaves have been used in medicinal formulations for more than five thousand years. The Ginkgo Biloba extract contains two groups of compounds, Flavonoids and Terpenes, which indicate several desirable properties, including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, vessel protection, and cell regeneration. In skin care, the extract is often used in: anti-inflammatory recipes, as an anti-allergenic, to promote collagen production, and for sun damage protection and repair. In addition, a decade ago Ginkgo extracts, including the flavonoid components quercetin, kaempferol, sciadopitysin, ginkgetin, and isoginkgetin, were shown to enhance the proliferation of normal human skin fibroblasts in vitro; additional assays of fibroblasts incubated with Ginko Biloba extracts and ascorbic acid and controls incubated only with ascorbic acid showed increased collagen and extracellular fibronectin synthesis in the treatment group. 

 

*Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Vitamin E is a potent anti-oxidant with healing properties which also stimulates the basal layer to reproduce new cells. It is widely used by the body to protect lipids in cell membranes from oxidative damage from free radicals. It also increases the exfoliation rate and improves the skin texture.

 

*Vegetable Glycerine: Glycerine is a humectant (attracts moisture) and softens the skin. It is invaluable as a natural source ingredient with emollient like properties which can soften and soothe the skin and it assists the outer epidermis is retaining moisture. This helps to explain why it is one of the most popular cosmetic additives used today.

 

*Vitamin D3: Vitamin D3 regulates cell turnover. Vitamin D is formed in the body in part by interaction with sun light. This vitamin is considered to be an anti-oxidant and anti-carcinogen, and may play a role in skin pigmentation. Since it can be absorbed by the skin, applying this vitamin topically can have an effect on skin's health. 

 

*Green Tea Extract: Green Tea contains polyphenols, making it a strong anti-oxidant as well as it reduces inflammation. Green Tea Extract fights free radicals and thus offers protection against sun damage.

 

*Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera is a potent moisturizer, regenerating and healing agent. It penetrates the skin, stimulates the immune system and increases the blood circulation. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects (increases collagen synthesis and skin elasticity). The polysaccharides in Aloe Vera act as moisturizers to hydrating the skin. Secondly, aloe is absorbed into the skin and stimulates the fibroblasts to replicate themselves faster which produce the collagen and elastin fibers making the skin become more elastic and less wrinkled. Aloe also makes the surface of the skin smoother because of its cohesive effect on the superficial flaking epidermal cells by sticking them together. It also possesses the ability to interfere with the enzyme that produces melanin deposits in the skin, preventing the formation of 'liver spots', which tend to form in aging skin. It has been said that if Aloe Vera is applied regularly and for long enough it will often cause established spots to disappear. Aloe is an important source of Vitamins, Enzymes, Sugars, Anthraquinones, Lignin, Saponins, Fatty Acids, Salicylic Acid and Amino Acids.  

 

*Evening Primrose oil: Evening primrose, a wild yellow flower, shows miracles in treating several skin disorders like eczema, acne, etc. It has a wide range of healing powers and is rich in ingredients essential for many anti-aging problems like sagging skin, dry and rough skin. It is also used in the treatment of skin discolorations and it reduces skin blemishes and redness and promotes good coloration for your skin. This oil also shows enhanced results in treating wrinkles and fine lines on your skin. The oil is rich in linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid which cannot be produced by your body. The mature seeds contain approximately 7%-10% of gamma-linolenic acid, which is a rarely found essential fatty acid.

 

*Neem oil: Neem oil is antiseptic and astringent for irritated and inflamed skin and is highly effective in treating different types of skin disorders, promoting healing and maintains the skin’s elasticity. It is rich in essential fatty acids and Vitamin E (a powerful natural anti-oxidant).

 

*Kokum butter: Kokum butter is obtained from the seeds of the Garcinia indica tree, which grows in the savanna areas in parts of the Indian subcontinent. It has a very high content of stearic-oleic-stearic tri-glycerides which makes it a very hard, stable butter. It has a high melting point and melts on contact with the skin. Kokum butter has a dry, flaky feel but is quickly absorbed, is non-greasy and non-comedogenic. It helps regenerate skin cells and restores the skins' elasticity. It provides hydration to the skin and hair. It also possesses anti-oxidant properties due to its high vitamin E content.

 

*Macadamia Nut oil. A very unique oil with a level of Palmitoleic acid unusual in vegetable oils and not far from human sebum. It is considered by many to be the best for anti-aging products because of its high percentage of palmitoleic acid. Nourishing Macadamia nut oil has a rich, cushiony feel, but will absorb quickly. 

 

*Cupuacu butter: Cupuacu Butter from the Rain Forest is prized for its rich content of phytosterols (to benefit dry, damaged skin), polyphenols (to combat free radicals in the tissues) and fatty acids to protect and moisturize. It is a butter that performs like the actives, delivering true healing and restructuring benefits to the skin as it improves the skins moisture barrier and offering true hydration for improved elasticity and anti-inflammatory activity. Cupuacu Butter has the capacity to attract 240% more water allowing it to function much more effectively as a skin hydrator and plumper. Though it is not recognized as an SPF, Cupuacu Butter is well known for its ability to absorb damaging UVA/UVB rays for natural sun protection.

 

*Mango butter: Mango butter has good emolliency and lends a protective effect against the sun. It is said to prevent drying of the skin and formation of wrinkles. It reduces degeneration of skin cells and restores flexibility.

 

*Fractionated Coconut oil: A very light oil that is absorbed quickly by the skin. Fractionated coconut oil is a non-specific physical fraction (through distillation) capturing the range of fatty acids available in whole coconut oil (which include the much more available lauric and myristic fatty acids, among others). It also contains the caprylic and capric fatty acids, which reduces irritation, enhanced smoothness, less oiliness and some antimicrobial activity.


*Creatine: Creatine is the first line of defense against cellular aging, and the consequences, as it is shown to increase cellular energy metabolism, with significant skin repair activity. Creatine stimulates collagen, elastin, and keratin synthesis in skin and provides long term protection from premature aging and environmental stresses. It revitalizes cell energy metabolism, increases moisture in skin and hair, amino acid derivative produced via a patented process.
