AHAVA time line Age Defying Series 3D Complex Fact File

What Is 3D Complex?

The result of a 3-year scientific research project carried out in cooperation with some of the world's leading universities, studying the effect of Dead Sea minerals on skin hydration and renewal

• A pioneering technological breakthrough in the field of 'inter-cell communication'.
• A unique formulation registered as a worldwide patent.
• A 100% natural formulation, containing active ingredients from the Dead Sea and the surrounding area, which act simultaneously and form the heart of all of the products in the Age Defying Series.

What Does 3D Complex Contain?

• Dead Sea Water Mineral Skin Osmoter (MSO): a unique, natural extract of minerals from the waters of the Dead Sea, selected as the optimal complex for human skin and for use in cosmetics. MSO raises the skin's moisture levels and increases its energy reservoirs. This unique composite has been tested and selected in a scientific survey of the Dead Sea conducted by some of the world's best geological and Dermatological institutes.
• Dunaleilla Algae: a one-of-a-kind microscopic algae, which has grown in the Dead Sea for thousands of years. Its amazing ability to flourish in this hostile hyper-saline environment relies on a self-developed defence mechanism based on a very high concentration of rich minerals. Dunaleilla Algae is replete with elements of Vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, amino acids and Omega 6 essential fatty acids and is used for its outstanding moisturising qualities, its contribution to reinforcing the immune system and its anti-cancer properties. A true gift from nature!
• Desert Plants: Tigonella Shrub and Jujube Tree are two plants with unique properties that allow them to survive in harsh desert conditions. Used to treat and nourish skin, their soothing and hydrating qualities were discovered thousands of year ago by desert-dwelling tribes.

How Does 3D Complex Work?

• Renews Cells: MSO allows improved communication between skin cells reinforcing the skin's ability to retain moisture. The cells become saturated with water, expand and support the skin's infrastructure. At the same time, the minerals in Dunaliella Algae, which have the ability to strengthen the skin's defence system, replenish the "cell cement" giving the skin a more uniform, softer and healthier appearance. The result: skin cells are renewed and lines become visibly smoother.
• Slows Down The Pace of Skin-Ageing, Dramatically by Fighting Internal Damage: rich in vitamins and minerals, Dunaleilla Algae provides the complexion with components vital to its health and proper functioning. Given its microscopic size and its origin in the waters of the Dead Sea, Dunaleilla acts deep within skin releasing its treasure close to the cells that need it. Once delivered, Vitamin E functions as a free radical antibody at the molecular level. This process slows the creation of new creases and softens and smoothes existing lines. Simultaneously, Dunaliella's heightened hydrating ability provides skin cells with quality moisture, released gradually over many hours, day and night. The integration of these two functions leads to improvement of collagen and elasticity of the skin and restores flexibility, smoothness and firmness of the skin. In addition, to the 3D Complex anti-radical activity in all of the line's products, the Day Moisture Cream contains SPF15 sunscreen to protect skin from UVB rays that are a central factor in the creation of free radicals, and to prevent 90% of the penetration of UVA rays.
• Treats And Nourishes Skin Tissue: The Trigonella and Jujube desert plants act on two levels at the same time providing rich moisture at the cell level and soothing skin inflamed by environmental irritants. The combination of these two extracts reinforces the skin's ability to cope with external injuries and hydrates skin cells to help achieve a softer, smoother complexion. Additionally, the components of the Dunaleilla Algae increase moisture retention in skin by up to 12 hours (depending on environmental conditions).
