Read all about it: Kosmea’s Eighth Natural Wonder

If you’re one of those people who’s always gagging for info about the newest offerings from science when it comes to beauty, you’ll be well into hearing more about Myoxinol. Obtained from the seeds of Hibiscus Esculentus, it offers a natural and pain-free solution to the visible signs of ageing and is the key ingredient that gives legendary Australian brand Kosmea’s Eighth Natural Wonder Revitalising Facial Serum its power to combat wrinkles and fight the signs of premature ageing. Kosmea also added a high content of super-hydrating, free radical fighting rose hip oil to the formula to create what they call “nature’s answer to cosmetic surgery”. Kosmea founder Marie Jenkins is one of those people I’ve mentioned in my intro, and says that “creating great natural products and discovering new ingredients,” is a passion. This philosophy inspired her to look further into Myoxinol, which has been proven to relax facial muscles and smooth out wrinkles. While exploring new developments in anti-ageing, she came across research from the French institute Laboratoires Sérobiologiques that indicated the properties of Hibiscus Esculentus offer a natural and pain-free solution to the visible signs of ageing. Intrigued by her discovery, she spent two years developing the world’s first serum containing Myoxinol, ie. Eighth Natural Wonder.
Two factors are responsible for wrinkle formation - biological factors such as the slowing of the metabolism and oxidation cause skin cells to age and deteriorate over time. Mechanical factors are caused by the stress we show on our faces every day, as muscle contractions create expression lines like crow’s feet and smile lines that become more marked as we grow older. Expression lines are reversible as long as our skin’s elasticity and mechanical properties allow tissue to recover its initial state. Studies conducted by Laboratoires Sérobiologiques using genuine muscle and neuronal cells showed that Myoxinol’s patented botanical peptides work to combat wrinkles by reducing muscle contraction and reducing the formation of expression lines. As a soothing topical treatment it has been found to inhibit the mechanical factors responsible for the appearance of expression lines after only three weeks of treatment. It’s also a natural antioxidant, protecting the skin from mechanical and biological stress. It reinforces the skin’s natural defence against the damaging effects of free radicals that accelerate biological aging. Last but not least, it’s super mild and safe for most skin types.
