Expand your offerings safely with Advanced Esthetics Insurance at ascpskincare.com 43 Crocus sativus fl ower extract contributes to neuro-soothing by interacting with pathways in the body that infl uence both the skin and the mood. Its proven antioxidant-rich nature supports the release of tension, promotes a feeling of restoration, and helps align the body's rhythm with its emotions. Clinical research shows that consistent use of Zenakine improves a person's sleep quality and skin texture, strengthening the connection between rest, regeneration, and (visible) radiance. Think of Zenakine as a potential circadian support serum, kind of like a lullaby for the skin. It could be added to nighttime routines or posttreatment home care when the client's body naturally enters a calmer state. For estheticians' personal routines, working with a formula like this can also serve as a grounding ritual, off ering a quiet moment to slow your pace, deepen your breathing, and fi nish the day feeling balanced and renewed. HAPPYBELLE-PE: NATURE'S MOOD ENHANCER If Zenakine helps the skin rest, Happybelle-PE helps it rejoice. This active is a phyto-endorphin complex derived from monk's pepper (Vitex agnus-castus), a Mediterranean shrub known for its mood-balancing properties. This shrub is well-known to have an ability to infl uence hormonal and emotional balance. The extract from the plant's berries contains natural compounds (primarily diterpenes and fl avonoids) that act as ligands and stimulate beta- endorphin release in the skin. Beta-endorphins are peptides produced by keratinocytes and nerve endings that bind to the body's opioid receptors. This is the same process responsible for producing a sense of comfort and well-being and can create a calming, pleasurable sensation while reducing local infl ammation and sensitivity. When these pathways are activated, the skin also experiences improved microcirculation, effi cient nutrient delivery, and a noticeable sense of vitality. In skin care formulations, this could translate to a feel-good eff ect that's both emotional and physical—like the joy you feel from watching videos of puppies snuggling with toddlers. INGREDIENT DECK When we feel better, we perform better. And when we perform better, everyone in our care benefits from that balanced, grounded energy. GETTY IMAGES
