Ceramides
- It is a widespread skin condition. A well-hydrated skin, which is supposed to be a result of adequate water intake, balanced lifestyle and a nutritious diet, is today mostly achieved only through the external application of moisturising creams and lotions.

Vitamin C infused nutraceuticals
- The revered lifestyle antioxidant and skin rejuvenating properties of Vitamin C are well known.
- Your skin is always busy fighting with the enormous quantities of free radicals produced under biological reactions and critically because of external insults such as UV radiations, pollution, and chemicals.
- This free radical overload (FRO) interferes in cellular metabolism as well as leads to collagen degradation and melanin overproduction.
- Balancing this FRO is essential to ensure the health of the skin and also to prevent the loss of collagen.
- A nutraceutical rich in Vitamin C helps protect your natural beauty by reducing melanin pigment, increasing production and transfer of anti-ageing protein, exerts photo-protective effects by neutralising free radicals and helps boost collagen.
Apart from wellness and beauty, nutraceuticals have also been found to address issues related to certain skin conditions, like and fungal and acne infections, which are currently treated using strong anti-acne or anti-fungal treatments with antibiotics. So while you brighten up the party venues with your beautiful positive presence, ensure your body too is rejuvenated and glows with beauty from within, adding to the warmth and joy of your near and dear ones!
