As a skincare specialist I have the oportunity to further my education and understanding of ingredients and efficiency. Believe me, it is a maze, but after 11 years I feel I have found one of the greatest lines available today. Let Dr Johnson the founder of Osmosis explain. Please post or call me 941 924 2464 with your questions.
Osmosis has a different focus than most skincare lines; we believe in creating a partnership with the skin. This partnership includes utilizing ingredients that the skin recognizes, maintaining the epidermal barrier while focusing most of our attention on the dermis, virtually eliminating inflammation during repair and feeding the skin through increasing blood flow. The combination of these strategies in conjunction with our unique ability to penetrate the skin without harming it make this line the best in the world at restoring skin health and returning it to a more youthful state.
“First do no harm” is associated with the Hippocratic Oath and it is a philosophy that seems to have been forgotten in traditional skincare. Sadly, skin care that uses artificial ingredients, especially colors, fragrances and preservatives, is creating inflammation in the skin that makes it harder to repair because the skin’s resources are being diverted to deal with the newly created inflammation instead of working on existing damage. Additionally, many of the ingredients used are also designed to “exfoliate” (aka “burn”) off the protective epidermal barrier which is also harmful and inflammation-promoting. Osmosis is an all-natural, artificial preservative (paraben), color and fragrance free line that is specifically designed to calm (not cause) inflammation while maintaining epidermal integrity to maximize and focus the skin’s repair efforts on pre-existing conditions without creating new ones.
Ingredient penetration is the next emphasis of Osmosis and it should be the first question anyone asks about their skin care line. There is significant research showing that most skin care has a penetration rate of 2%. Many people think that acidic creams and serums penetrate better but that is not true according to independent studies which means 98% of all of the ingredients out there are wasted if a line does not have an effective absorption strategy. Osmosis has the most advanced delivery system available, phosphatidylcholine liposomes (the same material is in our skin’s cell walls), which are proven in research to increase penetration 1000%. This is even more exciting when you read about how many remodeling and repairing ingredients we are putting into the skin. Again, we are able to do this with an ingredient that is recognized by the skin and restores barrier health while providing remarkable penetration support.
Aging and many skin conditions are worsened by the decline in blood flow that tends to start in our mid-twenties. Blood flow is the skin’s only source of food and immune support (antioxidants, enzymes, proteins, lipids, immune cells). Osmosis uses 8 different dermal stimulators and other ingredients which work with the skin to increase circulation and nutrient supply. The other shortage that occurs with loss of blood flow is in our protective antioxidant base... as we get older, we receive fewer antioxidants to protect us. Osmosis utilizes the skin’s strongest and most active antioxidants (17 of them) to keep the focus on repair and remodeling of existing conditions by reducing free radical damage seen daily through environmental, food and sun related trauma.
Due to the large number of expensive ingredients and our patented formulas, it was necessary to form a partnership with our lab to keep the price of Osmosis very affordable. This was a huge hurdle to overcome as the skin care industry has built-in middle-man pricing that forces many lines to water-down their products. We have resolved this problem and are happy to share the savings with you.
To summarize, Osmosis is cruelty free, paraben free, artificial fragrance, color and additive free. We are water soluble, plant based and use more active ingredients per serum than any other line in the world. Our ingredients are chirally corrected (whenever possible) and heavily researched with many of them having numerous published research articles supporting their efficacy. As can be expected (when research is involved), many of our ingredients are the most expensive in the world. Osmosis innovative lab partnership brings affordability to the line. We target the dermis because that is the only place that significant aging occurs. We protect the epidermis (this is extremely rare in today’s skin care market) because that is critical to the health and efficiency of the skin. Also, better than anyone else in the world, we penetrate these wonderful ingredients into the deep epidermis and dermis so that they can go to work to restore your skin’s beauty, youth and luster.
