What is Chiral?
Most biomolecules, including skin care ingredients, are chiral. This means they have a 'left' and a 'right' chemical orientation, much like our hands, chiral molecules are identical mirror images of each other, some of these fit into the skins receptors while others do not. Usually only one of the mirror images is good for your skin, so it is necessary to use only these when formulating effective products.
COSMEDIX Medical Grade was developed in an effort to increase the activity of ingredients while reducing any associated irritation. This is done through a purification process called 'chiral correction'. This is extremely precise; an ingredient attaching to a cell receptor is similar to a hand in a glove or a key in a lock relationship. A left hand can't fit into a right hand glove successfully.
When ingredients reach skin receptors with the wrong spin, the message can be blocked, incomplete or inaccurate. While it is true that virtually every molecule found in nature is Chiral (meaning it either spins to the left or right) not every molecule is chirally correct.
The new buzzword in skincare is chirality, the optimal way to achieve clear skin. For skincare products to be effective, the side or "hand" of the molecule that is most appropriate should be used in the formula. While the less preferred "hand" in a particular situation is referred to as inert,it is believed it can actually be responsible for negative effects in the body. |
COSMEDIX Medical Grade are dedicated to using the most
natural, effective products in the market place today. We do not use preservatives (the active ingredients act as a natural preservative), biological (ingredients associated with animal or animal testing), artificial colours or synthetic fragrances, only essential oils or ingredients that test high on the comedongenicity or irritancy scales. Most of our packaging is in the most protective bottling available, a unique airless pump system is used to allow the correct amount of product to be released on to the skin at one time, yet allowing the product within the pump to remain active.
COSMEDIX Medical Grade ingredients are the finest, you will not find better combination of enzymes, anti-oxidants and acids that when combined will nourish, stimulate and exfoliate. The home maintenance range is suitable for all skin types from oily to the most sensitive.
At different stages of our lives our skin under goes various changes, to keep the skin looking it's best COSMEDIX Medical Grade has a range of peeling agents used only by medical professionals to enhance and improve the appearance and texture of the skin.
Your skin, being the largest organ in your body, is also affected by your diet. As our diet is usually lacking many of the essential nutrients necessary for digestive health and as our bodies do not always absorb these nutrients effectively, COSMEDIX Medical Grade also has a range of oral supplements to assist in eliminating toxic products from the skin and improving nutrient absorption.
'Chirally Corrected’ means:
Chiral (ki-ral) is the Greek word for ‘hand’. In the same way that our hands mirror each other, most skincare ingredients are chiral, meaning that they have a left or right chemical orientation. All body cells including those of the skin recognise and prefer a specific orientation of ingredient. This process is one of extreme precision – like a hand in a glove association. Chiral correction means that only the correct spin on the molecule for the action that is required by the skin is used. In turn, this means you have a highly effective product with the least amount of irritation on the skin. |
