- A
REVIEW ON TRACE ELEMENTS
- Trace
elements are metals present in tiny quantities
within our bodies, which activate vital
functions and biological exchanges. Without
these trace elements, life would be impossible.
Among the hundred or so elements comprising our
universe, only 11 of them enter into the
composition of 99.8% of our body. They are:
Calcium, carbon, chloride, hydrogen, magnesium,
oxygen, potassium, phosphorous, Silicon, sodium,
and sulfur.
- The
remainder, i.e. 0.02%, of our body is left to
the following trace elements: arsenic, bromide,
iodine, aluminum, cobalt, iron, copper,
manganese, nickel, and zinc.
- THE
SPECIFICITY OF HORMETA TRACE
ELEMENTS
- Trace
element presence in the skin is essential. Any
deficit is translated by dehydration and
premature aging of the epidermis with altered
skin tone and elasticity.
- Maurice
Chaponnier, the founder of Laboratoires HORMETA
understood, already in 1950, the importance of
trace elements in our body and specifically in
the skin. In adopting this position, he became a
pioneer and braved criticism; since, at that
time, the scientific community believed trace
elements were useless.
Maurice
CHAPONNIER's early work sought to develop an
electro-physical process designed to provide
trace elements to the skin in ionic form, i.e.
electrically charged. This electric charge is
the energy that they make available so that a
biological action can take place. Subsequently,
every HORMETA product contains a cocktail of
ionized trace elements that is specific to it.
This basic discovery in modern cosmetology
explains the exceptional performance of HORMETA
product care.
- The
HORMETA Trace Element Complex
- Magnesium,
Manganese, Copper, Silicon, Zinc, Iron. Calcium
and Magnesium are necessary in the ionic state
to promote conjunctive cell metabolism and
specifically that of the fibroblasts in which
are manufactured collagen fibers and
elastin.
- Any
reduction of these two elements in the dermal
conjunctive tissue causes more or less quick
early aging of the skin.
- Copper
is a trace element whose concentration in dermal
conjunctive tissue is extremely low, but whose
presence is necessary for all oxydo-reduction
reactions in dermal cells. Cobalt and Manganese
are also trace elements needed in very low
concentrations in dermal conjunctive tissue.
They contribute through their catalyzing action
which binds tissue vitamins and proteins.
