Phytopower from the Arctic nature for comprehensive beauty care

2

ArctiCare® is a unique family of products, based on berries

and plants harvested from the pure and unspoiled Arctic

wilderness. The long, freezing winters and the midnight

sun of the short summers endow the Arctic plants with an

intense vitality, which is then processed and refined into

ArctiCare® products to promote human beauty and

well-being.

Due to their harsh living conditions, Arctic berries contain

vastly superior amounts of active compounds when

compared to the plants growing in gentler Southern

climates. Environmentally friendly state-of-the-art

technology allows the valuable fatty acids, vitamins and

antioxidants to be extracted from the berries in a form,

which is just as genuine, active and pure as nature

intended it. The purity of the raw materials and the high

quality of the manufacturing process make the ArctiCare®

products suitable for use in external beauty care products

and ingestible cosmetics.

The ArctiCare® product family includes Arctic berry seed

oils, plant-based bioactive compounds and nature’s own

aromatic scents, all seasoned with a pinch of Arctic

mysticism.

Summer Vita Strawberry Seed Oil reduces the roughness of skin.

ArctiCare® represents a completely new

holistic approach to individual well-being.

This product family, inspired by the

unspoiled Arctic nature, paves the way for

new beauty care innovations based on

safety, efficacy, authenticity and naturalness. ArctiCare®

products are used as active ingredients in cosmetics.

The beneficial effects of antioxidants, unsaturated fatty

acids and bioactive phenol compounds have been

substantiated scientifically by numerous studies.

ArctiCare® products contain these health-promoting

compounds in high concentrations and provide an effective

boost to many skin care applications, designed to improve

the vitality and radiance of skin. They:

• Ensure an adequate intake of fatty acids, essential for proper skin functions

• Hydrate the skin and maintain the optimal skin moisture

• Soothe sensitive and irritated skin

• Protect the skin against premature ageing

• Promote skin regeneration

• Brighten the skin and even out imperfections in skin tone

• Protect the skin against the effects of UV radiation and pollution

• Improve the vitality of hair

The skin requires many special nutrients to

protect and boost both its functions and its

healthy glow. Taking these important

nutrients orally is often the simplest way to ensure an

adequate intake. ArctiCare® products offer a balanced

source of important compounds, which are central for skin

care and have multiple beneficial effects:

• Essential fatty acids maintain normal skin functions

• Antioxidants support and protect the functions of skin cells

• Protection against the effects of stress, pollution and UV radiation

• Anti-ageing properties

• Skin moisturising and rejuvenating properties

• Help with weight control

• Care, protection and extra strength for hair

The ArctiCare® products, prepared from Arctic plants, make

an ideal addition to ingestible beauty care and wellness

products. Capsules with soft vegetable-based shells or

conventional gelatine shells are ideal for berry oils.

Powders, on the other hand, are best encapsulated in hard

gelatine shells.

Ingestible ArctiCare® products are always delivered in the

form preferred by the customer, for example:

• Capsules, packed in customised consumer packages (carton boxes or bottles)

• Capsules, packed in blister strips

• Capsules in bulk packages

• Actives as ingredients or ready-to-use blends
