Coenzyme Q10 – Natural Radical Scavenger

It is always fascinating how complex the everyday processes in our body are: Without us noticing, our body cells perform heavy-duty work every day to maintain our metabolism and keep the body, including our skin, healthy. An important role in cell nourishment is played by the body's own coenzyme Q10. It is located in the lipid bilayer of the cell membranes. Primarily, coenzyme Q10 functions as a co-factor in cellular respiration in the mitochondria, the "powerhouses" of every cell. It acts as a biocatalyst in the body cell and is an essential component for functioning metabolic processes.

lavera Natural Beauty has pioneered real innovation in research and development by combining five powerful natural ingredients into an effective composition made from natural certified organic olive oil, active ingredients from the unsaponifiable fraction of olive oil, Abyssinian oil, plant sterols, and lecithin. This special active ingredient complex can help prevent wrinkles and supports your skin's natural regeneration. The Q10 is obtained through natural fermentation from corn starch using bacteria (Rhodobacter Sphaeroides) and meets the strict standards of certified Natural Beauty. A nutrient solution made from glucose (derived from corn or corn starch) is produced, which serves as the bacteria's life basis and starting material for fermentation.  

Especially mature skin can benefit from the natural Q10 active ingredient complex. The body's own production of coenzyme Q10 decreases more and more with age, but the demand is higher than ever. The unwanted consequence: the regenerative ability and defense of skin cells deteriorate, the skin ages prematurely and is more prone to early wrinkles. Coenzyme Q10 is used as an antioxidant to protect the skin in selected facial and body care products from lavera Natural Beauty. Adequate supply of Q10 can thus delay skin aging.
