Babor’s new triple-action moisturiser


HONG KONG. Babor has introduced two new treatment products: Moist Intense Cream and Mimical Control. The former is described as a “triple-action hydrator”, and features plant-based active ingredients. It incorporates three moisturising elements.

The first is extract of pomegranate, said to boost the formation of aquaporines. This raises the efficiency of the skin’s water transportation mechanism and reactivates the natural circulation, according to Babor.

The second element is Aquacacteen – an extract obtained from a Mexican cactus – which also rehydrates the skin and replenishes moisture levels.The third key ingredient is hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the skin and helps binds moisture to it.

Moist Intense Cream is said to be suitable for all skin types. It retails domestically at €41.50 for a 50ml jar.

Babor’s new anti-ageing cream


Babor Mimical Control Cream +Q10 is an anti-ageing treatment that aims to counter unsightly expression lines. It too contains three key components.

The first is a protein compound that blocks the nerve impulses that cause muscles to contract, according to Babor. It is claimed to “imitate” the effect of Botox and block natural messenger molecules.

The second active ingredient is an extract of Helichrysum italicum (curry plant), which grows wild in the Mediterranean. It is said to promote the production of endorphins (happy hormones) in the skin, which in turn act on keratinocytes, which help to smooth out surface lines.

The third component is coenzyme Q10, essential for the functioning of enzymes. Without them, cells cannot breathe, nourish, protect or renew themselves. In addition, Q10 is an excellent anti-oxidant and protects against free radicals.

Mimical Control also includes conditioning natural oils extracted from macadamia nuts, avocado and sesame, Vitamin E and panthenol.

It retails domestically at €45 for a 50ml jar.
