Unstress is a unique treatment that soothes and prevents stress-induced skin damages. Unstress utilizes clinically proven bioactive agents to provide DNA and cell membrane protection, reducing skin vulnerability caused by environmental and personal stresses. Unstress treats premature ageing and restores the skin to its healthiest state by boosting the body’s natural immune system and cell defense mechanisms.
The Problem
Stress damages the immune system and inhibits normal cell function. External and internal factors such as sun exposure, pollution, smoking, hormonal imbalance and more damage the delicate balance of the skin and break down the skin’s natural defenses. Skin becomes vulnerable to various dermatological disorders, trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), limited water holding capacity of the stratum corneum, collagen-depletion and loss of elastin. These disorders often cause irritation, itching and inflammation, excess sebum secretion, sensitivity, dryness, wrinkles, dull complexion and generally prematurely ageing skin.
Our Solution
Unstress treats skin by addressing the internal causes and external symptoms. High doses of corrective agents boost the body’s natural immune and cellular defense system, reducing skin vulnerability. Simultaneously, advanced anti-inflammatory, soothing and calming agents provide relief from stress-induced symptoms.

The Science Behind Unstress Results
Antipollution shield 24/7
Blue Light Protection
Blue light pollution refers to artificial blue light exposure associated with a hyper-connected lifestyle that can lead to digital (computers, smartphones, tablets, LED lights) ageing. The skin can act as a photo sensory system to visible radiation. It can sense blue light via opsin photoreceptors located on keratinocytes and melanocytes. Over-exposure to blue light is associated with delayed recovery of the skin barrier, cellular damage and oxidative stress. Blumilight – a super peptide rich in saccharides and polyphenols obtained from cocoa extract. A unique blend of fresh, non-fermented seeds with antioxidant properties.
Benefits:
Antioxidant Protection
Radiation Control
Venuceane – biotechnological active obtained from the thermos thermophilus algae containing extremozymes - proteins that ensure optimal cell functioning under stressful conditions.
Venuceane extremozymes fight oxidizing stress generated by daily exposure to UV-A, UV-B & IR (infrared) radiation. IR radiation represents more than 50% of solar radiation. It generates heat which catalyzes ageing processes, induces ROS formation and causes extensive damage to the skin - inflammation, edema, dehydration and wrinkles.
Venuceane extremozymes protect the dermal fibers by protecting the proteins responsible for the skin’s architecture and firmness, and promote recovery from environmental aggressions.
Benefits:
IR induced inflammation reduced by Venceane
bioengineered peptide inspired by the antioxidant properties of Coenzyme Q10, a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals and prevents premature ageing. Naturally synthesized in the body, located in the mitochondria and cell membranes, Q10 diminishes with age. Bioengineered CoQ10 peptide is a novel biological approach to boost the natural endogenous synthesis of CoQ10 and enhance the skin’s natural anti-oxidative defense. It diminishes stress signs such as dull, tired skin, fine lines and wrinkles.
Benefits:
The higher the intensity of fluorescence, the higher concentration of free-radicals.
CoQ10 binding proteins is higher with peptide Q10 than topical application CoQ10.
Q10 limits the production of free radicals under UVA and UVB stress.
Q10 decreases the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines after 28 days of application.
Quintescine is a patented biomimetic antioxidant peptide that limits glycation damage and shields DNA. It protects against environmental stress by supporting the skin’s antioxidant defenses, as it increases antioxidant enzymes activity.
The skin is continuously exposed to many environmental aggressions including UV, air pollutants, ozone, which generate reactive oxygen species (ROS-free radicals). ROS occurs during mitochondrial respiration and as part of the inflammatory response.
The accumulation of free-radicals results in oxidative damages that include DNA damage, protein carbonylation, mitochondrial damage, membrane peroxidation.
Benefits:
Quintesine increases antioxidant enzymes such as MnSOD, CuZnSOD and catalase that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.
Benefits:
Skin Barrier Protection
Lipigenine – flax seed extract developed to target epidermal lipid synthesis, helps optimize lipid homeostasis. By targeting synthesis of stratum corneum lipids, it corrects dry and stressed skin.
Lipigenine boosts lipid synthesis in normal human keratinocytes by 41.4 % after just 48h.
Benefits:
Phyto-ceramidyl omega - combination of fatty acids Omega 3, 6 and 9 of botanical origin and ceramides-3 addressing dry and sensitive skin. It strengthens the skin barrier, increases moisture and renders the skin softer and smoother. Reduces itchiness, leaving the skin relaxed and comfortable.
Benefits:
Anti Infammation Protection
NIO-SENSYL - a combination of zinc-enriched yeast extract and mangostin extracted from Garcinia mangostana and Magnolol/Honokiol bark, encapsulated in niosomal vesicles. NIO-SENSYL is a powerful active ingredient specifically designed to mitigate problems of sensitive skin, acne, urticaria, eczema, and rosacea.
Benefits:
Rosanic - herbal extracts complex - Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice), Artemisia montana, Gingko biloba, Vaccinium corymbosum (blueberry), and Rosa canina oil with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial properties. Softens rough skin, strengthens water retention capability. Comforts and calms the skin, reducing unpleasant sensations and acting as an “environmental shield” to protect against environmental damage.
Benefits:
Eco-Skin - is a probiotic complex of α-glucooligosaccharides, obtained by enzymatic synthesis from plant substrates (maltose from corn and saccharose from beetroot), 100% pure plant juice rich in ß-fructooligosaccharides, obtained by cold pressure under non-denaturing conditions of jicama or yacon (Polymnia sonchifolia) tubers and Lactobacilli probiotic bacteria (L. casei and L.acidophilus) inactivated by tyndallisation and freeze-dried.
Probiotics have a beneficial effect on health by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of a limited number of bacteria (especially Ecoflora cells). Fructo-oligosaccharides as well as glyco-oligosaccharides have proved to be the substances with the greatest capacity for probiotic activity.
They help balance the "ecosystem" of the skin, which can easily be upset by stress and aggressions. Probiotics act as anti-inflammatory mediators and treat acne, rosacea, and eczema.
Benefits:
Extracellular Matrix Protection
Collaxyl – a patented, stable collagen hexapeptide-9, promotes extracellular matrix synthesis, dermo-epidermal junction, epidermal differentiation and regeneration.
Hexapeptide-9 helps regenerate the skin barrier, treating stressed skin.
Hexapeptide-9 is found in collagen IV and XVII fibers which anchor the epidermis to the ECM and the dermo-epidermal junction (DEJ) and promote skin regeneration and the structural stability of the DEJ.
Collagen IV expression
Application of hexapeptide-9 promotes Collagen IV synthesis, enhancing the DEJ anchorage.
Benefits:
An ex-vivo test on wounded human skin shows a rapid epidermal regeneration after only 72 h from application of active peptide.
In a study on females aged 40-62, application of the active for 28 days demonstrated a decrease of 175% in the number of wrinkles, and a decrease of 187% in the average depth of wrinkles.
Kalpariane – alaria esculenta, a brown algae boosts moisture in cutaneous tissue by stimulating glycoaminoglycans (GAG) synthesis (+28%), as well as hyaluronic acid synthesis (+24%).
