Chiral
Correction = Purification
Try to put your right hand into a glove made
for your left hand. It has a place for four
fingers and a thumb, but because your hands
are mirror images of each other, you have to
have the right glove for a perfect fit. Each
of nature's building blocks is like your hands
in that they are made up of two forms of the
same molecule, a left hand and a right hand.
Scientists have discovered that each of these
mirror image molecules has different properties,
some harmful and ineffective, some beneficial
to the human body. Chirally corrected molecules
produce only the positive effects of each ingredient,
dramatically reducing the possibility of an
allergic or adverse reaction. This purification
process is the basis of our skin care and cosmetic
line.
Because of the high cost of chiral correction,
most popular brands of cosmetics and skin care
do not purify their ingredients. Unfortunately,
when the harmful molecules are left intact to
cause irritation and inflammation, your skin
will begin to show signs of aging prematurely.
CosMedix ingredients are purified to their most
natural, potent form, resulting in optimum effectiveness.
CosMedix Chirally Correct Skin Care
was developed in an effort to increase the activity
of ingredients while reducing any associated
irritation. This is done through a purification
process called "chiral correction."
This system has been so effective even the FDA
mandated that all new pharmaceuticals be chirally
correct (if possible) before they are introduced
to the public.
As a company, CosMedix is dedicated
to using the most natural, most effective products
on the market. We do not use preservatives (the
active ingredients act as natural preservatives),
biologicals {ingredients associated with animals
or animal testing), artificial colors, synthetic
fragrances (only essential oils) or ingredients
that test high on the comedogenicity/irritancy
scales. Most of our packaging is in the most
protective bottling available. This reduces
leaching and completely blocks UVB/UVB light.
CosMedix spends more on our
ingredients than anyone else in the industry.
You will not find a better assortment of enzymes,
antioxidants and acids, that when combined,
nourish, stimulate and exfoliate while avoiding
the toxicity associated with many lines.
