The High-Tech Complex · Five Actives

One complex. Five actives. Designed to work in synergy.

Most luxury skincare adds actives for marketing value. We selected five for clinical evidence, bioavailability, and synergistic interaction. Each one does something the others cannot. Together, they address the full spectrum of skin aging.

The Five Actives, in Depth

Each selected for a specific, evidenced mechanism.

01
Precious Caviar Extract
Acipenser Baerii Oe (Caviar Extract)

Full-spectrum extract from Acipenser Baerii (Siberian) sturgeon roe. Rich in phospholipids, amino acids, vitamins A, D, and B complex, and trace minerals. The phospholipid profile is remarkably similar to human skin’s own intercellular lipid matrix — making it genuinely biomimetic in a way that most “cellular” ingredients are not.

Mechanism: Replenishes the skin’s lipid bilayer, supports the natural desquamation cycle, and provides the raw materials for collagen and elastin synthesis at the cellular level.

02
Syn®‑Coll Peptide
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1

A clinical-grade collagen synthesis stimulator. The Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 molecule mimics a collagen fragment, signalling dermal fibroblasts to upregulate Type I collagen production. Published in vitro studies show a 4.5× increase in collagen I in treated fibroblasts vs. control. This is not a “collagen booster” in the vague marketing sense — it is a specific molecular signal for a specific biological response.

Mechanism: Peptide signal pathway activating fibroblast collagen synthesis. Palmitoyl tail improves skin penetration by increasing lipophilicity.

03
Hyaluronic Acid
Sodium Hyaluronate / Hydrolysed Sodium Hyaluronate / Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

We use three molecular weights in a deliberate, tiered delivery system. High molecular weight (1,500–1,800 kDa) sits on the surface, forming a hydrating film and preventing TEWL. Medium weight (200–500 kDa) penetrates the stratum corneum, hydrating the outer epidermal layers. Low weight (10–50 kDa) reaches the deeper epidermis, providing volumising hydration that lifts from within. Crosspolymer provides the 24-hour sustained release.

Mechanism: Moisture-binding matrix at three skin depths simultaneously. One molecule of hyaluronic acid can hold 1,000× its own weight in water.

Hyaluronic Acid
04
Superoxide Dismutase
Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)

The primary enzymatic antioxidant of the skin’s own immune defence system. SOD catalyses the dismutation of the superoxide radical (O·²−) — the most abundant and reactive free radical produced in the skin — into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen. Unlike vitamin C or resveratrol, which scavenge free radicals after they form, SOD neutralises them at their source.

Mechanism: Enzymatic catalysis of superoxide radical conversion. Prevents the downstream collagen-degrading MMP enzyme cascade before it begins.

05
Resveratrol
Resveratrol (from Polygonum Cuspidatum)

A stilbene polyphenol extracted from Polygonum Cuspidatum root. Resveratrol is a SIRT-1 activator — it stimulates the sirtuin protein family associated with cellular longevity and stress resilience. In skin biology, it increases the expression of SIRT-1, which modulates p53 activity and protects against UV-induced apoptosis. It also provides direct free-radical scavenging and inhibits the COX-2 inflammatory pathway.

Mechanism: SIRT-1 activation, UV-stress resilience, anti-inflammatory COX-2 inhibition, and direct radical scavenging. Synergistic with SOD in comprehensive antioxidant coverage.

Why These Five?

Synergy is not a marketing word.

The five actives in the High-Tech Complex do not merely coexist. They complement each other at the mechanistic level. Caviar Extract rebuilds the lipid matrix that SOD must penetrate to do its enzymatic work. Syn®-Coll Peptide stimulates the collagen synthesis that Caviar Extract provides the raw materials for. Hyaluronic Acid creates the hydrated environment in which peptide-receptor interactions are more efficient. Resveratrol activates sirtuin pathways that protect the fibroblasts that Syn®-Coll Peptide signals.

This is why we use all five in every product, at different concentrations calibrated for each formula’s primary function. The serum delivers the highest active concentration. The cream maintains it. The eye cream focuses it. The cleanser primes for it. That is how a system works. That is what makes it a ritual.
