What Makes caviar so special?

Extracting oil from one of the world’s most expensive delicacies and incorporating it into skin cream gives life back to the skin cells because of the cellular consistency between skin and caviar.

Caviar, in its cellular structure, is strikingly similar to that of skin: 50 to 70 per cent water, with a similar percentage breakdown of lipids, proteins and trace elements. It is very rich in vitamins A, D, B1, B2, B6 and micro-elements Co, Cu, P, Si, Zn as well as amino acids such as glycine, lysine, histidine, arginine, asparagine.

These ingredients intensify the processes inside the skin cells and at the same time slow down the aging process by moisturising. Caviar extracts are a source of vitamins, nucleic acids, phospholipids and proteins. They are in themselves a source of marine DNA, a key element to skin cell regeneration.

Caviar is a luxurious anti-aging substance that is easily oxidised and therefore best presented in glass cosmetic ampoules. Recently caviar ampoules have also been used by up-market hairdressers, applied directly to the scalp for hair stimulation.

Dermastir Caviar Cosmetic Ampoules can be applied alone on the face or scalp without the need to mix it with anything else. Other-wise it can also be added to a day or night cream to regenerate the skin or to a shampoo to stimulate the scalp.

Because the Dermastir Caviar Ampoule is a concentrate, and the ingredients remain present in the skin for up to three days, it may be applied to the face or scalp once every three days.
