Omega-CH-Activator®

1 of 2 products in this brand
Omega-CH-Activator® is a blend of amino acids, free radical scavengers, and peptides, derived from plant or synthetic sources. Its specific tripeptide, resembling a peptide sequence in collagen, is responsible for its superoxide dismutase activity. This liquid formula offers multiple skin and hair care benefits, including wound healing, collagen boosting, wrinkle refinement, and photo-aging protection. It is effective in body lotions, day creams, night creams, facial masks, and shaving products. Additionally, it provides anti-inflammatory, regenerating, and fine line-reducing effects. Omega-CH-Activator® is water-soluble and meets EU regulatory standards.

Efficacy
  • scavenger of oxygen radicals and hydroxyl radicals
  • mimics superoxide-dismutase activity
  • stimulation of oxygen consumption/cell activity
  • increases the biosynthesis of dermal collagen
  • reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
  • increase of skin density, thickness and re-epithe- lialization
  • skin remodeling: effective for example against scars and stretch marks

The idea behind the development of Omega-CH-Activator® was to have a non animal derived collagen:

  • To have present the same amino acids with their  efficacy
  • To have them in the same concentration like in  collagen
  • But to have no  animal derived product.Obviously this new product has a different spectrum of effect, which is shown in table 1.

Table 1  Comparison of the Efficacy of Collagen and  Omega-CH-Activator®

We measured the scavenging efficacy of OmegaCH-Activator® in vitro, by prevention of degradation of Hyaluronic acid in solution. The enzyme system Xanthin/Xanthinoxidase is producing very quickly OH-Radicals. When added to Hyaluronic acid solution, the viscosity of the solution is decreasing due to the degradation of the polymer by the radicals. As you can see in figure 2, the degradation was inhibited by 55 % with an addition of 0,8 % of Omega-CH-Activator®.. Product X tested is a common commercially available antioxidant.

The data show that with a concentration of only 0,8 % of Omega-CH-Activator® a good protection of the skin against environmental impact is possible.
The copper tripeptide GHK-Cu is another important component of Omega-CHS-Activator. In a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study of 67 volunteers, GHK-Cu and a placebo were applied twice daily for 12 weeks on facial skin. GHK-Cu improved skin laxity, clarity and appearance; reduced f ine lines, coarse wrinkles and mottled hyperpigmentation; and increased skin density and thickness. Numerous other studies are available in literature for GHK-Cu. Loren Pickart has suggested the following influence of GHK-Cu on skin renewal cycle.

Omega-CH-Activator® is an ideal Anti-Ageing active ingredient, protecting the skin during the day against environmental impact and regenerating the skin due to multifunctional efficacy in the night.

Application Information

Omega-CH-Activator® is suitable for use in high qua- lity cosmetic products like facial creams, facial masks, ampoules, body lotions, after-sun lotions, and after shave products.
