Key Ingredient Functions:
- Heptapeptide-7,
a patented SmartPeptide™ that
helps boost collagen and support skin
vitality. Peptides applied to the skin perform
their function and are then naturally
broken down by the skin’s proteases into
individual amino acids. Heptapeptide-7 consists
of seven naturally occurring amino acids that
are commonly found in the skin. This peptide
sequence is modeled on natural sequences found
as part of the body’s own defend and repair
system such as LL-37 (the human innate immunity
system).
- Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea
Butter),
emollient moisturizer that corrects dehydration
and dryness while protecting the skin’s
natural moisture balance.
- Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam)
Seed Oil, emollient triglyceride composed
of over 98%
long chain fatty acids. Also contains naturally
occurring antioxidant tocopherols. It
forms a moisture barrier and helps prevent moisture
loss.
- Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, emollient,
helps soften skin.
- Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa)
Seed Butter, hydrates and softens skin.
- Sodium Hyaluronate, super
humectant, can draw 1000 times its own weight
in moisture
to the skin and helps maintain hydration balance.
- Pichia/Resveratrol Ferment
Extract, antioxidant,
helps to reduce pigmentation
- Glycyrrhiza Glabra
(Licorice) Root Extract, anti-irritant,
helps to reduce pigmentation.
- Bisabolol, anti-irritant
and anti-inflammatory ingredient to help soothe
red, irritated skin.
The SECRET of SMARTPEPTIDE™ technology.
What is a peptide?
Peptides are chains of amino acids that are attached
together in a specific order. Amino acids are naturally
occurring in the body and are vital to everyday
living processes. Peptides can be made up of 2
or more amino acids that can stimulate different
responses within the body. Peptides serve as tiny
messengers that can be sent to kick the skin into
gear and make it look, feel and function better.
Our Secret for Healthy
Looking Skin
Today's consumer expects results from her skin
care regimen. Apothederm™ products have
been specifically formulated and tested to provide
proven results. Helix BioMedix has created a
new generation of bioactive peptides
known as SmartPeptide™ technology. These
highly precise SmartPeptides provide targeted
solutions to problem areas such as age-related
skin characteristics: lines and wrinkles, loss
of elasticity, loss of firmness and definition,
appearance of darkened areas or general unevenness
of skin tone, rough texture, and thinning of
the skin.
- Heptapeptide-7 is the latest
advance in peptide technology from Helix BioMedix.
This bioactive peptide has been shown to promote
keratinocyte proliferation and migration to support
skin renewal. This SmartPeptide can help restore
these skin functions for healthy, vibrant skin.
- Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-14 boosts
collagen production thereby reducing the appearance
of wrinkles and increasing firmness of the skin.
It also helps to eliminate dull and dry skin
with the addition of a lipid delivery system.
- Hexapeptide-21 works deep
within the skin to stimulate the skin’s
own natural repair and regeneration system. Hexapeptide-21
is designed to stimulate collagen production
and cell turnover to help improve the appearance
of damaged skin.

on the Appearance of Stretch Marks - Featuring
Patented Helix BioMedix SMARTPEPTIDE™ Technology
Heptapeptide-7

Mark Cream was conducted by a leading dermatologist.
Thirty women aged 18 years or older participated
in the study and were seen at the beginning of
the study and then at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks thereafter
for evaluation. Each participant applied the cream
twice daily on the upper thigh area. “Before
and After” photos
were taken by investigator and assessments were
made for: Smoothness, Texture, Erythema, Overall
Appearance and Safety.
- Both the investigator and the participants
reported impressive visible improvement of stretch
marks with use of Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream.
- The formal study findings showed
a highly statistically significant (p<0.001)
improvement in investigator and subject assessment
of smoothness, texture, erythema & overall
appearance.
- Investigator & subject scores
increased from Week 2 thru Week 12 demonstrating
progressive improvement with continued product
use.
