A.N.P.: an Asepta Exclusive

- The Ecrinal Range is based on A.N.P.®
- A.N.P.® is a natural substance rich in "TRICHOLIPIDS®"
- A.N.P.® acts on the dermal papilla by activating the production of SH groups, indicative of active metabolism vital to the synthesis of methionine and cysteine, the essential amino acid constituents of hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, and nails.
- RESULT: STRONGER HAIR AND NAILS, FASTER GROWTH
- A.N.P.® is an exclusive and patented active ingredient in ECRINAL preparations from Asepta.

ANP® (horse mane extract) is an exclusive and internationally patented ingredient used by Laboratoires Asepta in the Ecrinal Range for hair and nail care. ANP® is an active natural ingredient rich in omega 3 fatty acids. It stimulates the production of keratin. Different pharmaceutical forms of this active ingredient have been used in the Ecrinal Range to allow the full benefits of its properties to be made use of in the nail care range and the treatment of hair loss, hair maintenance and health including eyelashes and eyebrows.

DISCOVERY OF HORSEMANE (ANP®)

In the majority of mammals, the hair bulb is located in a layer of a very particular type of oily tissue. The permanent presence of this oily mass suggests that it is necessary for hair growth.
These observations were made in animals with manes such as lions, giraffes, horses, etc.
The discovery that this oily substance has a highly beneficial effect on the phaneres (keratinised parts of the human body: nails, eyelashes and hair) was made in a hospital.
The spectacular results obtained with nails led scientists to study this new active substance very carefully.
A team of French hospital pharmacists, in collaboration with the ASEPTA Laboratories, have developed a method for separating and purifying Horsemane "Tricholipids" or "A.N.P. ® " (Natural Hair and Nail Activator) exclusively used by the ASEPTA Laboratories in our ECRINAL ANP® nail, eyelash and hair range.

ANP® ACTIVITY

Histochemical studies have shown that "Tricholipids®" mobilise an active form of sulphur, the thiol or SH groups. This points to an active growth and regeneration metabolic process, vital to active biosynthesis of cysteine and methionine, the sulphurated amino acids which are vital constituents of nails and hair.
Pharmacological studies have shown that certain specific enzyme activities, such as phosphatase activity in tissue located at the base of hairs, increase after treatment with Tricholipids.
Tricholipids penetrate very quickly which means faster tissue mobilisation and stimulation of bulb activity leading to hair growth.
A.N.P. contains specific substances and a high concentration of essential fatty acids including linoleic acid of the omega 3 family. Its intense biodynamic stimulation of hair and nail growth has been confirmed by pharmacodynamic studies and a clinical study.

LIPOAMINOACIDS

Lipoaminoacids are patented and are found in many of the Asepta products. They are a combination of fatty acids and amino acids that form a chain that is able to penetrate the skin at the molecular level and will target a specific problem i.e. There are different lipoaminoacids for dryness, perspiration etc.

• Caprylylcollagenic Lipoaminoacid is an anti-acne agent.
• The active ingredient in the Fresh Foot products is the Lipoaminoacids which do not stop but regulate and prevent excessive perspiration
• In the case of Akileine Dry Foot Cream the lipoaminoacid is obtained from wheat and it’s action balances the skin’s pH.

 SILK LIPESTERS

A new and exclusive ingredient from the Asepta Research Laboratories Silk Lipesters include the Fatty Acids and Esterified Amino Acids of silk, with added Serine.
Serine is a moisturizing amino acid, which is keratolytic and a precursor in the synthesis of ceramides.
Lipesters cause the active agents to penetrate better, and the bioavailability of the amino-acids is enhanced.

Cosmetic Properties of the Silk Lipesters/Serine

• Carries silk amino acids and serine across the skin barrier
• Repairing
• Hydrating
• Anti-bacterial
• Anti-fungal

Shea Butter, also known as Karite Butter, is a cream-coloured fatty substance made from the nuts of Karite Nut Trees that grow in West and Central Africa.

Shea Butter repairs, moisturizes and protects the skin from harsh external factors. It nourishes the skin with Vitamins A, E and F. It soothes rough, dry or chapped skin.

It penetrates easily, allowing the skin to breathe and not clogging pores.

Shea Butter has a high level of cinnamic acid, a natural sun screen, so it provides some degree of protection from the sun.

This plant is a natural super moisturizer. It comes from the Australian desert and is able to survive in such hostile surroundings, thanks to its potency in potassium and DMSP (dimethylsulfopropionate).  Potassium acts as a pump to allow water to enter the cell, DMSP acts as a trap to prevent water leaving the cells.

Asepta laboratories use this property in all its formulas in order to give them an intense and long lasting hydrating function.

 CAMELINA OIL

Camelina Sativa seeds contains an oil very rich in Omega 3 Linolenic Fatty Acid (40%)                                                              
and Omega 6 Linolenic Fatty Acid (20%).

• Anti-inflammatory
• Hydrating
• Repairing

GRAPE SEED OIL

Rich in Omega 6 Linoleic Fatty Acid (70%), this oil helps protect the elasticity of the skin
and to moisturize it while preserving its barrier function.

Centella Asiatica is used in the manufacture of superior quality skin care and cosmetic products. It is a plant found in Madagascar.

It aids in healing and regeneration of the skin. It boosts collagen production and maximizes circulation. It has great anti-bacterial, anti-psoriatic and wound-healing properties.

Laboratoires Asepta encapsulate Centella Asiatica in liposomes which preserve it and deliver it straight to the target.

 ENOXOLONE

Enoxolone is a component of liquorice root that has outstanding anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.

Ginkgo Biloba activates blood circulation and prevents weakness of capillary vessels thanks to polyphenol.

It is also an anti-inflammatory ingredient.
