The Fagus sylvatica (European beech) is a tree that grows in Switzerland and is also called the "eternal young tree". It was given this name because it can live up to 250 years, but its aging stops at the age of 60. The fresh cells for the SwissGetal products are obtained from its sprouts, which form in spring. Under the strict supervision of a botanist, the sprouts are picked by hand from only one specific spot on the tree, so as not to disturb the balance of nature.
The valuable fresh cells are obtained from the beech shoots in a careful biotechnological process without the addition of chemical products or solvents. These now contain the energy-rich active components of the beech sprout.
Integrated in the SwissGetal products, the fresh cells are able to activate the oxygen conversion in the skin, which stimulates the energy of the skin cells. As a result, it functions like a young skin cell again. This process, in turn, triggers increased protein synthesis. Through the various processes, the skin is rejuvenated, wrinkles are smoothed and the moisture content of the skin is increased. This bio-engineered ingredient is a true fountain of youth for the skin.
