  • Panicum Miliaceum (golden millet) – botanic extract of semolina is used for sensitive scalp as it activates protective functions of the skin cells, also helps to reduce hair breakage and restore natural shine.
  • Pantothenic acid, Panthenol,  Dexpanthenol - Pantothenic acid, or Vitamin B5, called the “growth vitamin”, is essential for metabolism and energy, as well as responsible for tissue regeneration, especially in skin and mucosae. Panthenol is alcohol derivative of Pantothenic acid, which belongs to water-soluble B-group vitamins, responsible for carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. It is the only vitamin, which is being well absorbed when applied to skin, its low molecular weight, hydrophilism and low polarity help active substances to penetrate all skin layers. When applied topically, Panthenol is quickly absorbed and converts to Pantothenic acid. Dexpanthenol is also converted by body into Pantothenic acid. Vitamin B5 plays an important role in the processes of discharge of energy from carbohydrates, synthesis and degradation of fatty acids, synthesis of sterols and steroid hormones, acetylcholine, corticosteroids and porphyrins. Pantothenic acid is responsible for the normal functioning of epithelium. It is especially needed when the skin integument or tissues are damaged. In this case local deficiency of Pantothenic acid can be compensated with topical use of Panthenol. It stimulates skin regeneration, regulates cell metabolism and enhances the strength of collagen fibers. It exerts regenerating and mild anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. Panthothenic acid nourishes and improves skin integrity, has a moisturizing, minor injuries healing, pH balance restoring effects on the skin, reduces mechanical irritation of the skin. As a material similar to hair keratin, also used widely for damaged, split ends, fine hair, gives them softness, brilliance, resilience.
  • Papaine - plant enzyme, activates the cleansing of the skin.

  • Persea Americana, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) – fruit oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids in very high concentrations, thereby restoring the barrier function of the skin, restores the local immunity of skin, has antioxidant and regenerating properties. In cosmetology is used in the composition of creams and masks for skin and hair. Avocado oil has moisturizing, regenerating, protective skin and hair, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging effect. Suitable for dry, aging skin, quickly restores the integrity, elasticity and uniformity of the skin with minor injuries, inflammation, dryness. Effective for damaged, dry and extremely dry hair care.
  • Phaeodactylum Tricornutum (plankton) - the extract of this plakton differs due to a special Silicium “armor” contained in their cells, while being the basic component of marine plankton. They possess perfect sorbent’s properties, strengthen and enhance the structure of hair.
  • Pheophycaes Algae - genus of brown algae, contains over 60 vitamins and minerals, which have a rejuvenating effect, restore the normal concentration of fluid in the skin and improve its tone.
  • Phospholipids - these are complex lipids, which are specifically characterized by the presence of the phosphoric acid residue in molecules. Phospholipids are vitally important for the skin cells, as they are major components of the blood plasma membranes and their main suppliers. Essential polyunsaturated fatty acids present in phospholipids, such as linoleic and linolenic acids, provide mobility to the cell membrane, which is required for carrying out normal vital activity of the cells and synthesis of horny layer lipids responsible for their barrier functions. Phospholipids are responsible for the delivery of biologically active substances to deep skin layers. While having a close affinity to skin lipids and being located on its surface, they dissolve in it and gradually release their contents into the epidermis. Accordingly, a graduated and sustained effect of active ingredients is ensured and high results are achieved. Phospholipids increase the epidermal barrier permeability and improve the delivery of biologically active substances. This takes place due to the fact that phospholipids, along with ceramides and neutral lipids, form the part of the horny layer lipid matrix. Consequently, when getting into the horny layer, phospholipids are embedded into the lipid matrix, while providing
    it with more mobility and facilitating penetration of active substances into it. Phospholipids moisturize the skin and protect it against dehydration. Phospholipids are spontaneously organized into stratified or lamellar structures and create storage moisture reservoirs for the skin. While possessing a high affinity to the skin, they bind to corneocytes and exert a long-lasting moisturizing effect. The moisturizing effect of phospholipids is due to not only their capacity to bind water but also to the ability to form in water a bilayer structures; they form a thin film on the surface of the skin which protects it against moisture loss. Phospholipids control
    gradual release of active components, ensuring their long-lasting effect.
  • Phosphorus - a key macro element, regulates balance of acids and alkalis, actively involved in the metabolism.
  • Phosphoric acid - widely used as a pH adjuster in cosmetics and skincare products. 
  • Pinus Sylvestris (scots pine) - the extract derived from pine buds, which contain various resinous and tanning substances, essential oil, vitamins and pinitsikrin.

It is used to derive infusions and concentrates for prevention and treatment of hypovitaminosis C. It removes inflammation at the level of hair follicles. It regulates sebum excretion.
  • Piroctone Olamine - is an active antifungal sulfur containing component, which inhibits a bactericidal effect on propionibacterium, which causes dandruff. By impeding proliferation of these lipophilic microorganisms, it reduces skin flaking and scalp itching, gives an active normalizing effect on the state of the epidermal cells of scalp and the viability of their development cycle. Protects the scalp from the accumulation of toxic substances, also has active anti-microbial properties. Effective remedy for dandruff. Since the chemical structure of this substance is similar to DNA, as it enters the nucleus of microorganisms it replaces the chromosome and blocks the cell metabolism, thus killing micro-organisms and respectively stabilizing scalp condition. This substance acts not only on bacteria, but also on molds and fungi.
  • Pityrosporum Ovale (or Malassezia Furfur) – the fungus that under certain conditions immediately begins to spread and promote the premature exfoliation of epidermal cells and skin peeling. The spread of this fungus may be provoked by a number of factors: vitamin deficiency, weakened immune system, internal organs diseases, disturbance of the metabolism and activity of hormones, stress, change in diet, improper hair care and styling agent selection, even by hot air of hair dryers, etc.
  • Placental Protein, Human Placenta, Animal Placenta, Natural Placenta - human and animal (mammals) placenta - a biologically active "treasure" of all building materials needed for 1 million human and other mammalian proteins. It plays several roles during pregnancy - nutrition, gas exchange, distribution of metabolic products, hormones and the immune status of the fetus, protection from toxins. The synthesis of proteins, vitamins, hormones, enzymes, acids and other biologically active nucleids, including antibodies, takes place in placental tissue. All of these materials affect the viability and resistance of fetus to diseases and negative impacts of the environment, i.e. immunity. Plqcental extract contains virtually all non-essential and essential amino acids, regulatory peptides, polysaccharides, hyaluronic acid, succinic acid, chondroitin sulfate, lipids, dimethylaminoethanol, coenzyme Q10, polyunsaturated fatty acids, proteins, alpha-fetoprotein, lecithin, growth factors, natural well-balanced complexes of water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins, macro- and microelements. It does not contain hormones. New methods of processing and sterilization under extremely high pressure and ultrasonic frequency allow to avoid thermal, radiological, chemical destruction of biologically active substances while destroying at the same time all the possible bacteria, heavy metals, radionuclides, etc. Placenta also has anti-inflammatory, healing, stimulating properties. Extracts of placenta are widely used in medicine, Cosmetology, Dermatology, Trichology. It exhibits trophic stimulating effects, nourishes and moisturizes skin and hair, stimulates hair growth, possesses restorative and protective functions, contributes to the recovery of interrupted processes of hair and skin autoregulation.
  • Placenta Botanic, Phytoplacenta - also known as “green placenta” with created by famous Russian scientist Vladimir Filatov. Per his definition - similar to mammals, plants also have embryos; phytoplacenta is produced from young buds of genetically unmodified plants in the active growth stage, when they have maximum levels of proteins and amino acids. In cosmetology and dermatology phytoplacenta is used as an alternative to the natural placenta..
  • Placenta Vegetal, Dermacenta - soy sprouts derived protein, the vegetable protein, containing balanced package of nine essential amino acids needed for the body, and in this regard is the nearest alternative to natural placenta, therefore, called vegetal placenta. More widely is known under another name of “dermacenta”, used by cosmetologists and dieticians due to the direct effect of regeneration of the skin. It was determined by clinical studies while testing the ability of various substances to stimulate the regeneration processes, that skin cells under the influence of dermacenta increased oxygen uptake up to 30%. Dermacenta extract, similar to natural placenta, stimulates the regeneration of skin cells and accumulates energy for their rapid growth by increasing protein synthesis in the skin and maintains youthfulness of tissues. For this reason has been considered for a long time as one of the most efficient sources of energy for skin and hair, especially in women.
  • Polivinilpirolidone - polymer, moisturizes, conditions and protects skin and hair.
  • Pomegranate extract - due to its high content of polysaccharides (up to 14%), fatty acids and organic acids (citric, malic, oxalic, tartaric, etc.), high percentage of flavonoids and terpenoids, as well as phytoestrogens, this extract possesses a wide range of biological effects. It exerts antioxidant, moisturizing, and exfoliating effects, has a marked regulating effects on seborrheic processes, restores the lipid barrier of the skin, resolves flaking and irritation.
  • Potassium channles - in the field of cell biology, potassium channels are the most widely distributed type of ion channel and are found in virtually all living organisms. They form potassium-selective pores that span cell membranes. A potassium channel opener is a type of medication which facilitates ion transmission through potassium channels.

It is all natural and besides its properties to remove surface skin and debris, it is also known to promote clear skin. The unique characteristics of the apricot seed, when ground up, that it forms spheres. so it is more gentle on the skin. than other seeds, when  used as an exfoliating elements in skincare products.
  • Purine and Pyrimidine - purines and pyrimidines make up the two groups of nitrogenous bases, including the two groups of nucleotide bases. Two of the four deoxyribonucleotides and two of the four ribonucleotides, the respective building-blocks of DNA and RNA, are purines. 
  • Pyridoxine - or vitamin B6 plays an important role in the metabolism of proteins. It helps efficiently use glucose in cells and improves metabolism in brain tissues. It is the main catalyst in the amino acid metabolism and synthesis of most neurotransmitters in the central nervous system. Therefore, vitamin B6 enhances brain performance and contributes to improvement of memory and state of mind. It is known as the “vitamin-antidepressant”, as it participates in the synthesis of the “happiness hormone” serotonin. It is also responsible for appetite and sleep regulation. Deficiency of vitamin B6 results in impaired glutamine metabolism, which induces central nervous system disorders (seizures, etc.). It participates in production of red blood cells and in glucose uptake by nerve cells. Deficiency of vitamin B6 induces increased fatigability, depression, hair loss, cracks at the corners of the mouth, impaired blood circulation, numbness in extremities, arthritis, muscle weakness. Vitamin B6 is required for dandruff prevention, it is effective for itching, hair loss reduction.
