Legends of Beauty and Longevity from the Japanese Archipelago
The islands collectively known as Okinawa taper off from the southernmost tip of Japan like the long, wispy tail of a mythical seaborne dragon. The archipelago stretches for nearly 1,300 kilometers into the Pacific — an extended subtropical paradise with pristine waters, abundant marine life and lush vegetation. For centuries, the islands of Okinawa were part of the independent Ryukyu Kingdom, a heritage that has given shape to a culture quite distinct from that of mainland Japan. Owing also to its geographical remoteness, Okinawa is home to numerous exotic species of fauna and flora. Some of these indigenous botanicals are now believed to hold the key to the renowned hardiness of the Okinawa islanders — the longest-living people in the world.

The Timeless Mystique of the Moon Peach
A core ingredient of the Wrinkle Repair Series, Moon Peach Leaf Extract is derived from the Shell Ginger plant (Alpinia Zerumbet), which grows in splendour and profusion in its native Okinawa. The plant is locally known as Gettou (‘Moon Peach’) because its pink-tipped buds shimmer in the summer moonlight like miniature, luminescent peaches. From ancient times, this robust and elegant botanical has figured prominently in the customs, cuisine and folk medicine of the islands. The leaf of the Moon Peach is especially rich in polyphenols, which are effective in preventing strokes and treating arterial sclerosis, among other conditions.
Kanebo Cosmetics has devoted years of R&D to shed light on the special properties of this time-honoured botanical. After conducting studies on over 100 plants from around the world, Kanebo Cosmetics discovered that Moon Peach Leaf Extract has the exceptional ability not only to encourage fibroblast proliferation, thereby increasing the very production centres of collagen, but also to stimulate collagen synthesis by individual fibroblasts. The discovery of this dual capacity was not only a milestone in skincare but also a substantiation of the Okinawans’ long-standing belief in the plant’s significant healing powers.

A Rising Star in Anti-ageing
Star Fruit Leaf Complex is a worthy partner for Moon Peach Leaf Extract. The Star Fruit, also known as Carambola, is native to subtropical Asia but is now widely cultivated throughout Okinawa. Rich in dietary fibre, potassium and fat-burning niacin, Star Fruit has long been used in traditional remedies for hypertension and osteoporosis.
In WRINKLE REPAIR COLLAGENERGY, Star Fruit Leaf Complex provides a ‘power breakfast’ for cells — a timely infusion of vital energy that enables fibroblasts and other skin cells to rebound swiftly from their daily morning slump and perform at a higher level throughout the day. Being a superior antioxidant, Star Fruit Leaf Complex also protects the skin’s innate collagen against fibre deterioration.
