From the ultimate antioxidant potential of ROS* BioNet to the pioneering restorative action of Epidermal Growth Factor, Skin Actives has set the pace to innovate by introducing groundbreaking ingredients for skin care. Today, we’re thrilled to continue that legacy by announcing the latest revolutionary ingredient from our labs: Honey Bee Defensin-1, the keynote ingredient of our new Regenerating Defensin Serum.

Unprecedented Renewal with Skin Actives New Active Ingredient

Defensins are defense and signaling peptides. To build upon our range of supremely effective restoration products, we turned to bee defensin-1, an advanced protein responsible for some of honey and Royal jelly's celebrated properties. With topical application, the defensin works in combination with Epidermal Growth Factor to break down the old, damaged molecules and regenerate skin components, including collagen and hyaluronic acid, recycling old skin into new skin. Our scientists were able to perfectly copy and concentrate natural bee defensin, bringing a world-exclusive first chance to unlock the regenerating powers of Royal Jelly in an effective and affordable serum that benefits the skin while respecting the environment.

Like Royal Jelly But Not Harmful to the Environment

Like honey, Royal Jelly is a substance secreted by bees, and it shares some beneficial properties with its flavorful cousin: both are thought to help repair damaged skin and ward off the negative effects of external pollution. Scientific research has demonstrated that some of these effects trace back to the presence of Defensin-1 in both substances. Just one bottle of Regenerating Defensin Serum contains as much Defensin as an ounce of Royal Jelly, making it a potent source of this vital and restoring active. Royal jelly is not only expensive to make, but it gravely misuses bees. Taking royal jelly from bees for our own benefit harms the environment.

The Perfect Skincare Product For Vegans

Copying a great natural ingredient like Honey Bee Defensin-1 is just the beginning of an effective skin care product. To achieve its most pronounced effect, it must be matched with high quality ingredients that complement its function. With Regenerating Defensin Serum, we have done just this, combining the defensin with complimentary Epidermal Growth Factor, Sea Kelp Bioferment, and a host of powerful antioxidants. We have created a one-of-kind serum that protects, restores and rejuvenates unlike anything else on the market.

Ideal Skincare for Damaged or Overworked Skin 

Like the top-selling and increasingly popular EGF products in our Advanced Restoration collection, Regenerating Defensin Serum delivers unprecedented recovery for dry, damaged or sensitive skin. With a lush texture and vibrant honey color, Regenerating Defensin Serum sinks in smoothly. The result is acceleration of skin renewal resulting in healthier and more resilient skin.

The Perfect Defensin Product for Aging Skin

Unlike other honey or royal jelly products, the Honey Bee Defensin-1 in Skin Actives’ Regenerating Defensin Serum will not trigger bee or honey allergies, making it the first product of its kind. Additionally, the cutting edge recombinant technology used to copy means that the serum is a vegan formula, bringing the benefits of Defensin to a new community of skin care users. The in-lab synthesis of bio-identical proteins also protects our environment, which is highly dependent on abundant and healthy honey bee activity because of the influence of bees on pollination of multiple species in nature.

After years of work, we’re thrilled to offer Regenerating Defensin Serum to our customers in time for the busy holiday season. With the release of Honey Bee Defensin-1, we can confidently state that the market for skin renewal products will never be the same.
