At AUTHENTA, we believe that great skincare can be authentically natural. That’s why we created AUTHENTA Skin Renewal Cream, delivering maximum results by focusing on natural active ingredients in high concentrations – with no chemicals or artificial preservatives.

AUTHENTA protects your skin with powerful antioxidants that neutralize free radicals – a key cause of damage to the collagen that gives skin its elasticity and firmness. At the same time, AUTHENTA restores a healthy, youthful appearance with natural ingredients that improve cell repair and accelerate the removal of damaged collagen, thereby reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Applied to the face after cleansing, AUTHENTA promises results in 30 to 45 days.

AUTHENTICALLY NATURAL
For people with sensitive skin or anyone who values nature-based products, AUTHENTA’s powerful formula focuses on natural ingredients – free of chemicals, toxins, parabens, polysorbate, artificial preservatives and artificial colours.

• AUTHENTA’s ingredients come from natural sources – certified organic whenever possible.

• Every ingredient is natural – with the exception of R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, a highly effective antioxidant naturally present in the body, but which diminishes in quantity with age. No source from nature is available to provide an adequate concentration.

• The wisdom of ancient herbal medicine is reflected in AUTHENTA Skin Renewal Cream with natural plants such as sage, rosemary, chamomile, aloe vera and lavender.

AUTHENTICALLY POWERFUL
To achieve dramatic results, AUTHENTA combines proven ingredients in high concentrations. Every active ingredient – from new discoveries to traditional herbs and vitamins – has been selected based on up-to-date research showing it to be both safe and effective for anti-wrinkle and restorative effects.

Here are just a few of the powerful ingredients in our product:

• R-Alpha Lipoic Acid is shown in studies to be readily transported through the skin and provides both water-soluble and fat-soluble antioxidant protection to the skin. It also helps to reduce the redness and swelling that often occurs as a result of free radical damage.

• Ascorbyl Palmitate is an important antioxidant – a fat-soluble derivative of vitamin C with outstanding skincare benefits. The advantage is that it is nonirritating and more stable than pure vitamin C. It is effective in protecting the skin from lipid peroxidation – a common type of free radical damage.

• DMAE has been demonstrated to cause some degree of skin tightening. Even though DMAE can’t fully reverse existing facial sag, it may reduce its further progression and provide a noticeable effect. Some people report a cumulative effect with continued use of DMAE.

• Hyaluronic Acid plays an important role in tissue hydration, lubrication and cellular function, and is able to hold more water than any other natural substance. Its unmatched hydrating properties result in increased smoothness, softening and decreased wrinkles.

AUTHENTICALLY HONEST
At AUTHENTA, we strive to be revolutionary in our level of honesty and clarity. We were inspired to follow this instinct because many consumers told us they lacked confidence about the safety and effectiveness of natural skincare products. So we go to unusual lengths to tell you about all our ingredients and why they work.

• You’ll see that we list each ingredient both by its scientific name and its more commonly known source, so you know exactly where it comes from.

• Regulations demand that ingredients be listed in descending order of amount. At AUTHENTA, we go further. We state the percentage of each and every ingredient in our formula.

• Most skincare companies keep their formulas secret to avoid copycats. At AUTHENTA, we want you to have confidence in our products, and we are willing to risk imitations in order to earn your commitment.

AUTHENTICALLY RESPONSIBLE
At AUTHENTA, we’re concerned about social responsibility and we know our customers are too. So we’ve put a great deal of thought into environmental issues.

• AUTHENTA Skin Renewal Cream comes in a recyclable amber glass bottle which helps to ensure that a minimal amount of plastic finds its way into landfills. The amber glass also ensures the product is adequately protected from damaging UV radiation and maintains a long shelf life. Use of a treatment pump instead of a removable lid protects the product from oxidization.

• The outside carton is made from 100% post-consumer recycled material.

• All ingredients have been assessed to have minimal long-term impact on the environment, should some residual amounts enter a landfill site.

• AUTHENTA has not been tested on animals.
