ASTALIFT Moist Lotion boosts skin collagen metabolism with Nano Vitamin Ax

speech by Mr. Satoru Nishimura, Regional Marketing Manager, Fujifilm Tokyo

Fujifilm Corporation, a forefunner in nanotechonology is redefining anti-aging skincare with its newly updated ASTALIFT Moisture Lotion. The high-function lotion contains a new composite ingredient, CL Refresher, which is designed to make your skin elasticity firm and refreshingly supple. I am in my mid 30s, I know its important to take care of skin care. Thank you Fujifilm for inviting me to the event.

"The new and improved ASTALIFT Moist Lotion features a revolutionary discovery of a proprietary ingredient that can inhibit the degradation of collagen," sad Mr. Satoru Nishiruma, Regional Marketing Manager, Fujifilm Tokyo.

Introduction of ASTALIFT Lotion by Ms Yumiko Komiyama, Traning & Marketing Support FUJIFILM Tokyo

Throughout the years, most studies on collagen focused on increasing its production, but little progress had been made on the impact of degraded collagen on the dermis. Fujifilm began researching the mechanism of collagen regeneration and discovered that collagen that becomes degraded and fragmented due to damage from aging and UV rays can build up within the skin, reducing its firmness and elasticity.

"In order to keep the skin firm and elastic, it is necessary to break down fragmented collagen fibrils and generate new ones, explained Ms. Yumiko Komiyama, Manager of Training and Marketing Support, Fujifilm Tokyo.

 "Lines" which annoys you perhaps the pillow marks, glasses line, mask line, cheek line.

 An average age to recognize pillow mark is at 37.9 years old.

Check out the photos below which I have taken on the date launched last week. I have also upload to my facebook album,click on the link to view it.

 Based on its findings, Fujifilm successfully developed Nano Vitamin Ax, a proprietary ingredient that promotes the skin's collagen metabolism. Nano Vitamin Ax combines Vitamin A with the antioxidant astaxantin to produce nanoparticles of the world's smallest level of 50 nanometers, dispersed in solution to form a nano-emulsion.

Launched of ASTALIFT Moist Lotion

 Further efforts by Fujifilm to promote collagen regeneration led to the discovery that adding collagen peptide to Nano Vitamix Ax would increase its efficiancy. The new ASTALIFT Moist Lotion contains the composite ingredient, CL Refresher which combines Fujifilm's proprietary ingredient, Nano Vitamin Ax with collagen peptides to clear the skin of damaged collagen to firm and moisture the skin.

By using multiple moisturizing ingredients in an optimum balance, Fujifilm was able to create a unique "Most Up Texture" that allow you to feel the beauty ingredients penetrating through all corners of the skin while hydrating the skin. 

 The new ASTALIFT Moist Lotion uses the "Smart Refill" refillable cartridge system, designed to keep the pump tube unexposed during the refill process to ensure hygiene and prevent spillage. The refillable container reduces the use of plastic from previous models by approximately 60& and comes with a carbon offset credit to further reinforce Fujifilm's environmental initiatives.

According to Satoru Nishimura, the new ASTALIFT Moist Lotion is the first product to take advantage of the Smart Refill system which will be implemented by other ASTALIFT products in future to enhance the company's efforts to counter global warming.

Photo above consists of products Jelly Aquarysta, Moist Lotion, White Essence Inlift, and Perfector Protector SPF50.

 Mamonde Brand Story

"Inspired by Flowers"

The flower, a sign of beauty and a symbol of grace; is also magical with its ability to speak to the soul in a which words cannot express. The blossoming flower, its colors and pleasant scent emits a natural inherent vitality and surging energy that lifts the mood and comforts the heart. But there's much more to this extraordinary plant. 

AmorePacific Research Institute discovered the close relation between flowers and a woman's beauty.

Advanced research was then carried out on various flowers; from the root to its stem and petals to discover the amazing power and energy that the flowers possess. Findings the reveal that flowers contain moisturising and skin-nourishing ingredients that not only provide nourishment to the skin but also moisture and balance oil production to maintain a vibrant skin. 

Years of research concluded with the inception of a unique innovation and formulation that use floral extraction to re-invent beauty. AmorePacific named its innovation Mamonde, a brand that inspires feminine beauty with flowers through its flower science technology.

  Entering the 'World of Mamonde', the event commenced with an introduction of the brand followed by a walk to the 'Mamonde Garden'.

 

At the garden, beauty bloggers were given a detailed briefing on the R&D of Mamonde which covers the 5 key flowers used in Mamonde formulation, flower science, technologies and its floral properties.
