Uniquely delivering molecular oxygen (without the use and free radical effects of hydrogen peroxide) and providing a synergistic blend of skin nutrients in a mousse-like emulsion to encourage skin repair and renewal - resulting in a skin complexion showing finer texture, greater clarity and an overall more youthful appearance.
Technologically advanced and patented, O2Beta was developed in response to the craze and rave over oxygen spas/bars where hopeful participants had their faces sprayed with oxygen gas in an attempt to deliver oxygen to the skin, while others used hydrogen peroxide. There is no efficacy in spraying oxygen over the face in less than hyperbaric (pressurized) conditions. Hydrogen peroxide by its very chemical compound reacts to release oxygen, but with the side effect of forming damaging free radicals.
O2Beta was developed with a unique technology that delivers molecular oxygen stabilized in a light foam mousse facial cream containing the precious and safe ingredients recommended by scientific/medical research such as betaglucan, CoQ10, Tocopherol [the pure form of Vitamin E, rather than the less expensive, less safe vitamin E/Tocopherol acetate which almost all other cosmetics use], Acetyl L-Carnitine, Green Tea Extract, Superoxide Dismutase and Alpha Lipoic Acid. This proprietary formula of delicately combined synergistic ingredients is aimed at nourishing the skin to encourage skin repair and renewal.
Why Oxygen? The levels of oxygen in skin cells and the respiratory activity in these cells decrease as we age. The efficiency with which aged skin cells are able to utilize oxygen, may be reduced, as indicated by their decreased rate of metabolism and repair processes, such as collagen synthesis, compared to young skin cells. The oxygen in O2Beta aims to increase the amount of oxygen available to the skin's environment.
Universal Biologics has developed O2Beta as the focus of its skin care line, Line D. O2Beta embodies the revolutionary approach of encouraging the skin's own natural ability to repair, moisturize and rejuvenate itself. By increasing the amount of oxygen delivered to the skin through a synergistic blend of precious skin nutrients, O2Beta uniquely enhances the skin's bio-environment and stimulates the skin to diminish the appearance of fine lines, age spots, wrinkles, and other minor imperfections.
It has been disclosed in research that the amount of oxygen on aged skin is the same as that of young skin. It is our theory that just as a young person is more readily inclined to aerobicize their bodies than an elderly person, so is young skin more able to utilize the oxygen than older skin. The additional oxygen in O2Beta is aimed at activating the skin cells, while the other ingredients maintain the activation and encourage the nourishment, in essence "aerobicizing" the skin.
Molecular oxygen applied to the skin, as in the case of certain health spas, which physically spray oxygen over the faces of hopeful believers, is at best a long shot. Traditional hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment, usually reserved for burn victims, applies pure molecular oxygen under pressure greater than one atmosphere. The measure "one atmosphere" is the oxygen environment in which we live.
Clinical studies have demonstrated significant improvement in deterring premature aging of the skin by enhancing the respiratory activity within the skin cells after the application of this new treatment. Oxygen is one of the elements vital to the health and life of skin cells, regardless of your skin type or age. O2Beta holds molecular oxygen next to the skin, encouraging absorption directly into damaged cells with the objective of diminishing the appearance of fine lines, age spots, and wrinkles.
O2Beta Molecular Oxygen Suspension Facial Treatment holds molecular oxygen in an emulsion of ingredients which have been researched to function in collagen synthesis, cell metabolism and mitochondria support.
The key ingredients, Acetyl L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Beta Glucan, Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone), a protective form of Vitamin E and Green Tea Extract, are uniquely combined to create a barrier as well as a stimulant for oxygen to be absorbed into or penetrate the skin.
Acetyl L-Carnitine (an acetylated ester of the amino acid L-Carnitine) is used by the body to transport fats into the mitochondria where they can be metabolized to produce energy in the cells. Studies suggest that ALC may be an important anti-aging complex, although traditionally taken orally.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (Thioctic Acid) has been claimed in research as the missing link in the theory of recycling antioxidants to neutralize free radicals. "Not only is ALA a powerful antioxidant in its own right, but it also regenerates glutathione [which recycles semiascorbic acid - Vitamin C free radical], giving cells a double dose of antioxidant protection. [Furthermore], once inside cells, ALA is converted to its most potent form, dihydrolipoic acid, an even more potent free radical neutralizer than ALA."
Beta Glucan (yeast cell wall extract) "is a glucose type molecule that travels freely through the network of dendritic cells (e.g. Langerhans cells and melanocytes) which are present in both the epidermis and dermis." Researchers have observed a positive correlation between glucan phosphate treatment, wound tensile strength and collagen biosynthesis.
Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone) is an essential component of the mitochondria, the energy producing unit of the cells of our body. Known as ubiquinone because it exists in every plant and animal cell, CoQ10's ubiquitous existence is necessary for the human body to function. Categorized as an antioxidant and compared to Vitamin E, it aids in circulation, stimulates the immune system, increases tissue oxygenation and has vital anti-aging effects. Researchers have found that it penetrates skin when suspended in oil and improves skin texture.
Green Tea, as an antioxidant, has been claimed in research that it (specifically the polyphenols present therein) may be useful against inflammatory responses associated with the exposure of skin to solar radiation.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol) is recognized as an antioxidant that supports the formation of red blood cells, muscle and other tissues. It also protects fat in the body's tissues from abnormal breakdown thus, retard aging. Research claims that it is the major naturally occurring lipid-soluble non-enzymatic antioxidant protecting skin from the adverse effects of oxidative stress including photoaging.
