Key Ingredients

Powered by our proprietary Advanced TFC8® technology and featuring an Exclusive Phyto-Peptidic Concentrate to support accelerated renewal.

Advanced TFC8®

A complex of high-grade vitamins, lipids, and high-performing, proprietary peptides that features a proprietary biomimetic delivery system developed by Professor Bader. This exclusive technology enhances intercellular communication and nutrient transport to cells, supporting skin cell renewal.

Exclusive Phyto-Peptidic Concentrate

Exclusive to Augustinus Bader, this concentrate is rich in thousands of phyto-peptides from centella asiatica, which contain billions of plant exosomes. Shown to help prevent skin cell senescence and visible signs of aging, this exosome-rich concentrate supports skin cell renewal, firmness, elasticity, while visibly reducing wrinkles.

Biomimetic Elastin

A vegan fermented polypeptide that supports the skin’s natural production of elastin and collagen. It helps skin appear more lifted, firm, and resilient for a more supple, youthful-looking complexion.

Marine Algae Activator

Containing pure marine apocarotenoids, this bio-active delivers superior anti-aging benefits—visibly firming, smoothing, and evening skin tone for a more luminous, rejuvenated appearance.

Collagen Amino Acids Complex

This biotech-engineered complex mirrors the amino acid sequence of type I collagen and is enriched with spermidine to support healthy skin aging. Proven to support skin structure and barrier function, locking in hydration for a smoother, plumper, glowing complexion.

Kale & Olive Extracts

Rich in hydroxytyrosol, one of the most potent natural antioxidants, these extracts help defend against environmental damage a key contributor to skin aging. They also deliver superior illuminating benefits while soothing irritation and redness.

Ceramide Complex

A synergistic blend of ceramides and glycerides that fortifies the skin barrier, reinforcing its resilience while smoothing texture and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
