EF Tropics Illuminating Collection Plays Well With Others

EF Tropics Illuminating Collection is a small collection of 5 products that are designed to brighten and firm the skin. They are a collection of specialty treatment products that can be used alone or can be paired with other skin care products in a client’s home care routine.

We recently featured EF Tropic’s O2SKIN PRO, this company focuses on bringing highly effective products to the market that work really well with all other skin care brands on your back bar and in your retail area.

EF Tropics Illuminating Collection Created By A Doctor + Scientist

The EF Tropics Illuminating Collection was designed by Yoel Konis, a Phd Scientist in the field of cosmetic chemistry, who has been creating products for 32 years.  He was joined by Dr Zhai Salkovitz, a Dermatologist, who specializes in esthetical surgery & medical cosmetic. 

Designed As Add-On Products

The EF Tropics Illuminating Collection has 5 products that can work with any brand of skin care on the market. The scientific research that was used to create these all-natural products gives them the ability to work well the most advanced clinical brands carried in any medical spa.  The Illuminating Collection is created from all-natural antioxidants and peptides so it pairs beautifully with botanical brands.  

The 5 products are filled with some of the most beautiful botanical ingredients from the global market and are designed to improve the tone and integrity of the skin, while fitting into the AM and PM skin care routine of products from any brand on the market.  

Effective + Powerful Ingredients 

The EF Tropics Illuminating Collection uses a variety of effective and powerful ingredients to facilitate impressive results that the brand showcases in before and after photos.  A few of the ingredients they use are:

Resveratrol 
This ingredient has a heightened activity, especially when combined with Resorcinol derivatives.  Resveratrol is a very important ingredient in lightening creams as it has several parallel actions. Poly-Resveratrol or Resveratrols of natural sources inhibits melanin production by delaying alpha- MSH hormone and by delaying TRP-2 protein.

Niacinamide
This well known for its skin lightning properties by acting as both a tyrosinase inhibitor and preventing the transfer of melanosomes to keratinocytes, a property that is most remarkable at higher concentrations. It also inhibits protein glycation, effectively reducing deposition of cross- linked collagen and elastin molecules.

Hyaluronic Acid 
A mixture of 3 multi-power hyaluronic acids. 

* A 100-300 KDa HA to reinforce the skins natural defenses and wound healing process.

* A 20-5-KDa HA to improve skin biomechanical properties and firmness.

* A 5-20 KDa HA to rejuvenate the dermis from inside.

Nonapeptide -1
Biomimetic peptide which inhibits melanin synthesis induced by Alpha-MSH (it is an antagonist to Alpha-MSH). It also reverses hyperpigmentation. The inhibition mechanism is to block tyrosinase activity – not to compete with the enzyme, meaning – high activity at low levels! It inhibits melanogenesis without cytotoxicity .This activity is synergistic when combined with Rumex Occidentalis extract.

 

 

EF Tropics Illuminating Collection
5 Brightening + Firming Products

Illuminating White

A spot treatment. This was EF Tropics Illuminating Collection’s first product released in the U.S Market.

When Illuminating White is applied directly to the spots themselves, overactive melanin production is halted by stabilizing the tyrosinase, thus inhibiting the activity of the tyrosinase, which is an enzyme responsible for melanin synthesis. On the surface, the lightening agents are at work lightening the spots and healing your skin at the same time. EF Tropics recommends using it directly on the discolored spots until they are gone and then the entire face or other areas can all be lightened together. Illuminating White will itself cause slight desquamation of the skin creating a fresh healthy glow!

Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a very important ingredient in lightening creams as it has several parallel actions.

It:

a. Inhibits melanin production by:

1. Delaying alpha- MSH hormone.

2. Delaying TRP-2 protein.

b. Delays melanosomes transfer to target cells

c. Causes rapid lightening (as soon as 7 to 10 days) probably by dissolving existing melanin.

A large advantage of using Resveratrol is that it does not cause skin irritation. On the contrary, it has anti-inflammatory effects.

Resveratrol has a heightened activity, especially when combined with Resorcinol derivatives.        There are several types of Resveratrols.

The most important part is verifying that the mix of Resveratrols will have:

a. High activity  

b. Long term stability                    

c. Doesn’t collide with existing patents.
