SDSM2 is the second generation of SDSM NIOD's dermal treatment mist–not to be classified mistakenly as a toner –that acts as a fundamental daily force against oxidative stress water loss & the look of inflammation all of which contribute to loss of visible skin quality over time. The large 240ml mist format allows for generous & frequent application to the face & the body as desired. SDSM2 introduces two additional features to the formula: 1) a more potent form of Superoxide Dismutase derived from yeast originally isolated from grape skin with an extremely high activity of up to 55000 pyrogallol autoxidation inhibitor units per ml & 2) a purified ph-balanced extract of malachite rock or copper carbonate hydroxide mineral which offers additional direct scavenging of the superoxide radical. The new yeast source of SOD also has further advantage of higher colour stability than before which complemented by the naturally turquoise colour of malachite renders the colour of SDSM2 brighter yet more saturated. The technologies in SDSM2 are: Yeast-Derived Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) Superoxide is the main reactive oxygen species in each cell & SOD is the body's natural way of out-competing the ongoing & very damaging effect of superoxide in cells. Arguably SOD is the most important force against oxidation in the human body. Under direct UVB exposure topical SOD was shown to reduce the look of additional inflammation by nearly 100%. SOD has in the past been difficult to obtain or to stabilize. SDSM contains a very high concentration of SOD in completely stable & solubilized form. SDSM2 introduces an even more potent SOD with an extremely high activity of up to 55000 pyrogallol autoxidation inhibitor units per ml resulting in exceptionally high activity of Approx. 500 pyrogallol autoxidation inhibitor units per ml of the formula. Purified North American Four O' Clock Flower A studied bio-derivative of this Aztec plant helps reduce the look of inflammation. Marine Exopolysaccharides Derived entirely through fermentation processes this sustainably-sourced marine polysaccharide is able to preserve water significantly more than the highest molecular sizes of hyaluronic acid without any of the drawbacks associated with topical application of such higher weights. This ability prevents water loss even in extreme cases (measured under severely cold temperatures (-20 C) where this polysaccharide increased water preservation by 60%–and in comparison high-molecular weight HA increased preservation by only 11%). With continued use the longer-term benefits of preserving hydration are far beyond just hydration itself; however from a more immediate perspective this technology increases skin hydration by more than 35% & measurably reduces the look of roughness within 2 hours. Malachite Rock Extract This highly-purified ph-balanced extract of malachite rock or copper carbonate hydroxide mineral offers additional direct scavenging of the superoxide radical. It also offers very high potency against oxidative stressors through multiple pathways. SDSM2 owes its more pronounced turquoise colour to the extract of this naturally-copper-rich rock. ...

NETWORKED DEFENCE SYSTEM Designed for nighttime use by all skin tones. Offers no UV Protection. NIOD's Survival is a range of four networked protection systems with technologies that help support healthy skin defences against environmental & lifestyle-related assaults. Despite their lightweight texture these formulations offer a broad selection of advanced technologies to target the effects of oxygen radicals including the superoxide radical nitrogen radicals carbonyl radicals glycation & advanced glycation end-products (AGE) pollution smog stress infrared & blue light. In addition to these protection systems Survival 30 Survival 20 & Survival 10 offer respectively mineral-only UVB & UVA protection of SPF30 (PA+++) SPF20 (PA+++) & SPF10 (PA++). Survival 0 does not offer UV protection & is intended for evening/nighttime use. Survival 0 can also be used during the day alongside other sun protection formulations that may not offer environmental protection beyond UV (Note: Survival 30 Survival 20 & Survival 10 already offer comprehensive networked protection & do not need the addition of Survival 0 during daytime). The technologies shared in Survival 30 Survival 20 Survival 10 & Survival 0 are: Purified Lutein Isolated from non-GMO marigold flower this exceptional carotenoid antioxidant counteracts adverse effects of blue light & increases visible dermal elasticity. Yeast-Derived Superoxide Dismutase Superoxide is the main reactive oxygen species in each cell & SOD is the body's natural way of out-competing the ongoing & very damaging effect of superoxide in cells. Arguably SOD is the most important force against oxidation in the human body. Under direct UVB exposure topical SOD was shown to reduce the look of additional inflammation by nearly 100%. Survival contains a form of SOD with extraordinary high activity level against the superoxide radical. Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol An extremely potent scavenger of reactive oxygen species & reactive nitrogen species this superb technology is far more effective than resveratrol & ferulic acid in fighting radicals formed as a result of UV exposure stress & pollution exposure. in addition this exceptional molecule prevents carbonylation of proteins. Fractionated Melanin While melanin within the skin protects from many forms of environmental assault its potency is limited with respect to High Energy Visible (HEV) light. Survival

Includes:: a fractionated form of melanin that is tailored specifically to absorb light in the range of 400-500 nm wavelengths. Pycnogenol® A well-studied derivative of maritime pine this highly-potent antioxidant supports a wide range of protective functions while minimizing & reversing the appearance of photo damage. Tomato Carotenoid Complex Targets a broad range in the invisible light spectrum & reduces the appearance of redness associated with light exposure. Prebiotic Complex of Gluco-Oligosaccharides & Inulin Both friendly & unfriendly microorganisms reside on the skin. A number of factors disturb the balance of good microorganisms including abrupt changes in temperature stress pollution malnutrition use of household chemicals use of certain cosmetics & UV exposure. This skin prebiotic complex supports friendly skin microorganisms without stimulating harmful ones. Purified Deep-Sea Algae (Alteromonas Ferment) Forms a physical shield against urban pollution & smog both of which contribute significantly to premature ageing. Purified Mediterranean Brown Algae (Padina Pavonica) Supports calcium bioavailability essential to protective functions of healthy skin. Purified Knotgrass Fights visible adverse effects caused by infrared while helping to prevent & reduce the appearance of photo damage. The UV Protection Mechanism in Survival 30 Survival 20 & Survival 10 is: Silicone-Dispersed Zinc Oxide (Zn O) & Titanium Dioxide (Ti O2) Survival formulations avoid use of all chemical sun blocking agents that can lead to further oxidative stress. The formulations also avoid the use of any nanoparticles. Instead a refined dispersion of micronized Zn O & Ti O2 in flexible high-volatility non-comedogenic silicones allows the formulations to remain extremely lightweight by optimizing the amount of the blocking agents. These advanced silicones are crucial to the effectiveness of Survival's protective systems given the relatively low amounts of Zn O & Ti O2 used allowing the formulations to be very low in viscosity such that the broader protection technologies can be delivered effectively (this low viscosity is the reason Survival is offered in a dropper format). Survival uses mainly Zn O for its protective effects (because in addition to reflecting/refracting light Zn O is actually also able to absorb UV rays without creating oxygen radicals) & the supporting Ti O2 that is used is only in rutile form (no anatase form of Ti O2 is used at all since it's an aggressive pr

Salicylic Acid 2% Masque is formulated to target lackluster tone & textural irregularities. The formula infused with charcoal & clays aims to enhance the appearance of smoothness & clarity leaving the skin feeling refreshed. The structure of salicylic acid facilitates its lipophilicity & miscibility with the lipids located on the surface of the skin. It is a suitable ingredient for targeting the removal of dead skin cells on the surface of oily & blemish-prone skin with the purpose of revealing more radiant skin beneath. Charcoal & clays are ingredients renowned for their deep cleansing abilities due to their porosity & large surface area available for adsorption. They aid the removal of facial impurities that would otherwise remain on the skin surface & clog pores. In comparison to Salicylic Acid 2% Solution Salicylic Acid 2% Masque is a rinse-off formula. Leave on for no longer than 10 minutes in order to maximize the exfoliating benefits. Contraindications: This formula should not be used on sensitive peeling or compromised skin. Please refer to additional sun protection note & other warnings in provided Directions. Note: While exfoliating acids can result in quick visible benefits we generally suggest the use of indirect forms of skin exfoliation in favour of direct forms such as this formula due to potential inflammation & sensitivity associated with acids. Please refer to NIOD's Non-Acid Acid Precursor for such a suggested formula. ...

SS is a viscous & intense cleaning balm for the face formulated with highly-concentrated very-unrefined Ayurvedic plant surfactants unsupported by any modern cleaning technology. SS contains no purified or synthetic surfactants sulphates oils esters or micellar technologies. It is a p H-balanced suspension of the amino acid Arginine in saponins from the Ayurvedic plants shikakai & sapindus mukorossi. Cleaning started with water. Its evolution brought soap. It was later presented that soap was harsh & soap-free surfactants were introduced. Those surfactants became questionable & newer sulphate-free surfactants were introduced — while in fact some sulphate surfactants were far gentler & more effective. It was then suggested that surfactants were bad in general & that oils should be used for cleaning the skin instead. The modern day has gone farther to introduce micellar waters & water-free cleaning systems suggesting that water-cleaning should be less frequent to preserve skin integrity — what has become the beginning of questioning the very thing that started both life & the meaning of being clean: water. The truth is that every advance in the journey of cleaning deserves respect. Each step criticized the previous step more so that it praised itself — but the truth is that water is good soaps are good surfactants are good & what there is today is good — each in its own way. Today cleaning — or its unnecessarily-privileged language form cleansing — seems to be more focused on removing makeup than actually cleaning bare skin — of dirt of dead cells & of oils. While many modern products remove makeup & surface dirt very effectively they largely leave the pores unclean of bacteria dirt & oils. Such products also leave spent cells more intact than even through water-cleaning discouraging the skin to behave optimally. The alternative to these gentle cleaning products (or makeup removers) is the use of aggressive acids alcohols & exfoliants. Products with these technologies go to the opposite extreme — they interact with the skin's bonds to peel the surface and/or specifically dry out as much oil as possible. This approach does clean the surface well but causes inflammation & encourages excess exposure of the skin's lower layers to the environment allowing for premature ageing. In our distant past plant saponins were used to clean the skin well — & they did so very well. These saponins clean the surface of dead cells without peeling the skin. They delete dirt. They clean pores intensely. & they remove the skin's own oils — yes the skin's very own oils & sebum secretions that everyone is so fearful of removing. The skin is not a cover. It is a living organ. Its function is to produce protective oils. To never clean these oils discourages their natural recycling — in a way it would discourage the skin to engage in exercise. & removing these oils too aggressively results in excessive dryness & a compensatory overproduction of oils. SS is a cleaning balm that concentrates Ayurvedic saponins. They're unrefined & messy. They borrow their colour & smell from a place far away from today's madding crowd of refinement. But their near-perfect equilibrium between deep cleaning & respecting skin integrity is evidence that — somehow somewhere — they connected to humankind. With continued use SS visibly targets all forms of build-up blemishes congestion & impurities. It is suitable for all skin types. After the first use SS leaves the skin looking nearly pore-free & its surface exceptionally cleaned — as if it's radiating from within. Notes: 1. While SS is p H-balanced plant saponins (and plants in general) can mildly irritate the eyes. While this sensitivity can be avoided by keeping your eyes closed during cleaning if you develop any mild sensitivity around the eyes it will disappear within a few minutes. 2. Within the first few minutes after using SS you may feel that your skin feels mildly dry. This temporary feeling is a direct result of SS having removed skin oils gently to encourage recycling of these oils. This feeling is very short-lived & within a few minutes you'll notice your skin returns to normal. 3. For committed users of SS the product can be applied for a deeper cleaning treatment as follows: Remove any makeup. Clean the skin with water & dry with a towel. Wet the palms of your h&. Massage a generous amount of SS into your palms until a mild lather forms like a paste. Apply to dry skin avoiding the eye areas entirely. Leave on for 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with your eyes closed. Dry with a towel. Yešti
