Naturally occurring skin care serum secreted by a mollusk —having a body with soft tissues very much like human collagen and elastic skin fibers— strengthens fragile skin, dissolves scars, inhibits the release of the biological irritants involved in the onset of stretch marks —which left unattended destroy normal cells and healthy connective tissues—, and thus prevents and gets rid of stretch marks.

This unique natural organic serum is secreted as an essential component of the innate immune system of a little creature of the phylum mollusca, class gastropoda, species Crystomphalus Aspersa; also known as Helix Aspersa Müller or the humble brown garden snail.

How It Works?

It works in a way similar to how another surprising mollusk, the oyster, coats an irritant —which causes a state of inflammation triggered by cell lining damage— by secreting a smooth, lustrous substance called nacre around the irritant to prevent it from disrupting its soft tissues. And in the process also yields something as precious as a beautiful Pearl: soft, beautiful looking and healthy skin.

BIOBODYCREAM for stretch mark prevention and for treatment of new stretch marks. BIOSKINEXFOL for old and rough stretch marks.

BIOBODYCREAM is a complete and balanced solution for the prevention and treatment of newly formed stretch marks. The cream is made with a unique naturally occurring skin care serum that supports the immune system and has skin regeneration properties, as it has been proven in independent studies validated by physicians and scientists from some of the most prestigious dermatology services in the world.

Scientific screening has shown the serum is packed with natural peptides, glycoproteins, coenzymes, oligoelements, antioxidants, moisturizers, messenger molecules that transmit signals across the cell membrane and coordinate cell metabolism, enzymes —that dissolve scar tissues and release their aminoacids which are necessary for the rebuilding of healthy skin—, oxygen transport molecules —that nourish your skin cells and stimulate collagen and elastin regeneration from within while also preventing the breakdown of these essential structural proteins.

In as little as 3 weeks, the cream can considerably reduce the appearance of inflammed stretch marks and dissolve scar tissues as well as the reddish, purplish or discoloration associated with such deep scarring.

BIOBODYCREAM and BIOSKINEXFOL may be purchased risk-free as they are backed by a 90 Day Satisfaction Guarantee.

BIOSKINEXFOL at home microdermabrasion treatment for skin resurfacing and regeneration of damaged skin affected by old and rough stretch marks.

BIOSKINEXFOL is the same cream as in BIOBODYCREAM but embedded with micro-crystals designed for skin resurfacing of rough and old stretch marks. By rubbing the cream on your skin you will quickly polish away the upper most microns of the outer layer of rough and damaged skin and get much softer skin in less time. This gentle abrasion will also allow for the penetration of the active serum deep within the dermis to dissolve scars by the action of its enzymes and to activate skin regeneration.

BIOSKINEXFOL should be used for four to six months on stretch marks that are older and when the surface marks are rough or white and no longer red as is with newly formed striae (medical term for stretch marks).

4 oz (120 grams) $89

The improvement with these products may persist for almost nine months after discontinuing their application.

As in nature, solutions do not emerge overnight and usually there's no such thing as a quick fix with chemical imitations of nature’s gifts. Only with repeated use on the affected areas to strengthen skin and dissolve damaged tissues little by little, beauty can be restored safely and naturally with a routine regimen.

What customers say?

Many customers send rewarding feedback about their use of the products, although results may vary from person to person; and we must warn you that they are not intended to represent what may happen to you.

"I was resigned to the fact that my stretch marks which started off as reddish and purplish in color and then became glossy and appeared streaked in silver and white were permanent and can't be fixed, but yours is a revolutionary way to make them almost invisible".

"This cream is amazing! I could see results even after the first month and I have tried lots of products. I have used it on my entire belly and thighs area. In both places I had really deep stretch marks. It's been 4 months since I started applying it, and I can't believe my eyes."

"Already having stretch marks on my breasts and hips from puberty, I knew I was prone to them and did not want them on my belly or back so I decided to give your product a try and I was hooked after 6 weeks, for the existing marks from adolescence started to disappear and they continued vanishing to almost nothing when I gave birth to my beautiful girl."

"I have been living with stretchmarks since I was 10 years old and have found it a bit depressing come summer time when everyone is pulling out their bikinis. I started using the cream last November and was applying it three times a day. As I finished my fourth bottle, I decided to take some time off since it had already faded my marks so drastically. Amazingly, they were still fading two months after my last use… Not only do I feel sexier, but my husband can't stop buying me lingerie…".

Nature's Gift for Healthy Skin

Whether one gets stretch marks during adolescent growth-spurts, yo-yo dieting, extreme overweight, weightlifting or during the late stages of pregnancy, when skin is fragile and it is stressed by overstretching causing the immune system to fire an inflammatory reaction that may further damage the weakened collagen and elastic fibers deep within the dermis, a new way is here to prevent stretch marks and improve the appearance of those scars that the body forms to repair skin damage. Treatment with enzymes and skin regeneration activators from a naturally occurring serum strengthens fragile skin with the same amino acids they liberate by dissolving scar tissues.

With so many women being affected by the form of scarring within the dermis that shows up on the surface of the skin as stretch marks, it's no wonder why stretch marks removal and prevention are such hot topics. Scarring can be much more than a badge of honor after laboring to bring a baby into the world.

Giant stride in the treatment of scars and stretch marks

But now there's hope with the discovery, by pure chance, of this naturally occurring serum secreted for its own skin repair by a little creature having soft tissues with cells and skin matrix molecules very similar to those of human skin.

Some of the benefits of the serum were first noticed by peasants in Chile manipulating the snails they had collected in orchards and vineyards —where they were considered to be pests— to sell them live in gourmet markets where they are highly valued by many European people. In one peasant's words: "We noticed that our hands were very soft and that any dark spots or scars disappeared quickly". His wife added, "The effects were so surprisingly rejuvenating that we felt we came across the elixir of youth".

To make a long story short about the drifts of an accidental discovery that started way back in 1980, we can now say that in clinical trials doctors have proven the serum repairs skin damaged by photoaging. In other clinicals it has been proven to heal dermatitis caused by exposure to radiation as used in radiotherapy for cancer (the cutaneous inflammatory reaction and the degenerative changes in the skin following excessive, chronic, or therapeutic exposure to ionizing radiation). It strengthens fragile skin and regenerates wounded tissues without abnormal scarring.

The serums' safety and toxicological profile makes it safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding and can thus help pregnant women prevent and get rid of stretch marks.

Topical products that include the serum support the innate immune system at the site where skin cells and connective tissues are stressed or irritated (inflammed), strengthen and tighten loose skin, dissolve scar tissues with enzymes, supply oxygen transporting proteins that boost collagen production, and thus prevent and greatly diminish the appearance of those scars within the dermis known as stretch marks.

Scientific Validation of the Benefits of the Biological Serum

The molecular basis for the regenerative properties of the serum have been established after screening and clinical trials by scientists from the Department of Biological Sciences, School of Natural Sciences, Fairleigh Dickinson University, New Jersey; the Hospital Universitario de la Princesa, Universidad Autonoma, Madrid, Spain; and the Dermatology Service of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, as reported in the January 2008 issue of the Journal of Pharmacology and Physiology of the Skin.

The mollusk’s innate immune support serum was discovered by chance and keen observation. It is collected from mature live snails at 10 day intervals without causing them any harm. The serum has been submitted to safety and toxicological challenges that warrant it is compatible with living cells, and thus safe with no side effects for human skin.

Nobody can patent and claim exclusive rights to this unique secretion because it exists by the biological workings of a living being and not by a manmade chemical reaction. In other words, it is a naturally occurring substance designed by evolutionary processes.

Nature holds pearls of wisdom that enhance life's splendors

Due to its complexity, geared by evolutions’ beautiful mechanisms, the serum cannot be replicated even in the most sophisticated biochemical laboratory. In fact, no chemist can replicate the complexity of a solution furnished by the immune system of a living creature, which is capable of generating enormous chemical diversity through the processes of rearranging gene segments and somatic mutation.

Repeatedly, Mother Nature provides a better answer to synthetic solutions through a humble little creature in a way similar to another misunderstood living being with a soft body - the silkworm. The silkworm uses its saliva to build his cocoon of raw silk to protect itself during metamorphosis, and humans benefit by taking the very same material and produce luxurious silk fabric with exceptional properties and unlike all imitations.

Once the snail secretions are collected, they are stabilized by biotechnology and included in liposome vessels so that their enzymes, copper peptides, antioxidants, oxygen transport proteins (haemocyanin) and messenger and healing proteins are not degraded by hydrolysis and can be readily available when applied topically to human skin.

What causes stretch marks?

What causes stretch marks is still open to discussion among specialists. Dermal inflammation and dilated capillaries mark the initial presentation, which results in an irritated appearance with characteristic pink, lavender, and purple hues. Later, the marks appear white without pigmentation and fibrotic.

Plausible causes:

1.- Continuous and progressive stretching of weakened skin apparently leads to an excessive discharge of inflammatory promoters by free standing mast cells residing within the connective tissues ready to react whenever skin is damaged.

The immoderate inflammatory response, ingrained in our system during evolution and intended to quickly cope with damage that could become a thread to our survival, may severely injure collagen and elastin connective skin tissues. This response does not seem appropriate in today’s hygienic conditions.

Moderating inflammation with synthetic steroid or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is not a viable option for the prevention of stretch marks because of their many undesired and dangerous side effects, including risks of malformation of the fetus during pregnancy.

2.- Hormonal imbalances that compromise the enzyme collagenase.

Stretch marks, or striae as they are called medically, are simply scars that appear in the dermis, rather than on the epidermis, like conventional scarring from outside injuries. Most people are led to believe that stretch marks are caused by stretching the skin beyond its tensile strength, either from weight gain, pregnancy or extreme muscle-building.

Although all these things do play a role, there are hormonal imbalances during puberty that can lead to fragile skin and then stretch marks on a very young girl’s body, even if she has no rapid weight gain or loss.

The cause may well be an enzymatic disorder: principally the enzyme collagenase that determines how many collagen fibers are in place to support tissue. If this enzyme is compromised by hormonal imbalances, it can destroy the very collagen fibers it is supposed to regulate. The skin then becomes ruptured, or broken down and weakened at that point and appears on the surface as a silvery or reddened scar. The stretching of skin plays more of a role in where the marks occur.

The skin matrix is a precious resource which is both produced and consumed quite frequently during our lives. On one hand, skin matrix is continuously synthesized by fibroblasts. On the other hand, whenever it is damaged, malformed or worn out, skin matrix -particularly the structural proteins collagen and elastin- is broken down into fragments by collagenase and gelatinase enzymes, also called matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and then recycled. By digesting or chopping up key matrix proteins, such as collagen and elastin, MMP enzymes play an underappreciated yet critical role in skin physiology.

In healthy, youthful skin, the synthesis and degradation of the matrix are in balance: damaged or redundant matrix is degraded while the deficit is replenished by the ongoing synthesis. Unfortunately, this intricate balance gets disrupted because of hormonal imbalances, mal nutrition, or as we age too little of the matrix is synthesized and too much is degraded. As with any supply-demand imbalance, it can be improved by either increasing supply (boosting synthesis of the matrix) or reducing demand (inhibiting the breakdown).

In particular, the synthesis of elastin is physiologically important, for although elastin is only 2% of the total protein in the dermis, those skin fibers provide the resiliency of skin. Elastin synthesis and the regulation of the quantity of cross-linked insoluble elastin and collagen fibers depend on the interaction between three factors.

The first is the presence of active fibroblasts, which secrete the soluble precursor of elastin, tropoelastin. The second is the relative amount of several skin matrix components within the skin also secreted by fibroblasts. The third are enzymes that are responsible for both the cell degradation processes that allow for the breakdown of dead cells into their component amino-acids and their re-use for the creation of new proteins (amino-acid chains).

Moisturizing skin and collagen boosters have limited success

Women have tried to condition their skin with moisturizer creams or lotions while they are pregnant to avoid the stretch marks, but this only has very limited success.

Same with hyper hyped products that claim to supply the skin with soluble collagen and/or elastin, for if you understand what are stretch marks you would realize immediately why they wont even help to create the connective tissues from within that would repair the injured skin matrix.

Creams that contain soluble collagen and/or elastin will NOT do the trick. What is needed is the biosynthesis and proper self-assembly of complex skin structures from within your body. The first step in elastic fiber formation is the appearance of small cell surface-associated elastin globules (soluble tropoelastin) that increase in size with time (microassembly). The elastin globules are eventually transferred to pre-existing elastic fibers in the extracellular matrix where, through an intricate and orchestrated biological process, they coalesce into larger structures (macroassembly) and become crosslinked funtional fiber-like polymers with reversible deformation and high resilience. 

Collagen and Elastin Synthesis Boosters May Fail or Fall Short in People Affected by Atrophic Skin.

The most recent stretch mark treatments and prevention products are focused on replenishing skin matrix by stimulating the synthesis of collagen or elastin (e.g. ascorbic acid, copper peptides, palmitoyl pentapeptide, oligopeptides and other). Unfortunately, this method fails to prevent or get rid of stretch marks or falls short in most people affected by atrophic skin and scar tissues, apparently due to the specific chemistry of skin affected by atrophy and an incapacity to answer to matrix synthesis boosters.

Their failure to treat existing stretch marks is possibly due to something crucial absent in those products; an element that would help your body to get rid of scar tissues.

In fact, your body needs two things to accomplish this.

One, your body needs to be able to differentiate or identify scar tissue from the surrounding functional and healthy tissues in the skin matrix.

Second, it must be able to degrade the fibril proteins that those scar tissues are made off and breakdown their component amino-acids liberating them to then use them to generate new skin matrix components.

This can only be accomplished by the action of three types of ingredients that act in concert.

One is messenger molecules that are able to bridge communication between cells and thus (a) differentiate scar tissues from functional and/ or healthy tissues and (b) trigger fibroblast proliferation.

A crucial ingredient is collagenase enzymes that dissolve the non functional, worn out, or damaged tissues that were identified by the messenger molecules.

The third ingredient is oxygen transporting proteins that stimulate the formation of new collagen

Combined methods that consist of some form of abrading —to physically break down some of the more superficial and older scarring—, and a topical base that includes not just moisturizing enhancers or collagen synthesis boosters, but: 1) cell communicating ingredients, 2) enzymes that ‘dissolve’ damaged cells and scar proteins, 3) oxygen transporting molecules that stimulate collagen production from within, plus 4) skin regenerating activators, can effectively reduce the appearance of old stretch marks.

Prevention of stretch marks

For stretch marks prevention the recipe for success is strengthening the skin while safely moderating the inflammatory response, and this can be accomplished by topical application of the aforementioned biological serum, better than anything else.

Skin Care Products with the surprising natural serum are able to:

• Be applied safely on abdomen and breasts during pregnancy and breastfeeding without side effects to the mother or child.
• Soften and dissolve existing damaged tissues that show up on the surface of the skin as stretch marks with collagenase enzymes.
• Nourish the dermis with both the oxygen transporting protein haemocyanin in the serum, which helps to initiate new collagen production, and with the amino acids released from the breakdown of damaged tissues.
• Trigger the rebuilding of collagen and elastin levels by activating fibroblasts, the cells responsible for the production of all the elements of healthy skin structures.
• Stimulate the formation of proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, the molecules that give skin its capacity to hold in moisture – true skin moisturizing.
• Keep pathogenic skin bacteria at bay, including acne by the action of anti-microbial peptides
• Act as a potent antioxidant with multiple modes of action at the level of free radical production and also sequestering free radicals.
• Stimulate extracellular matrix assembly and the regulation of metalloproteinase activities in dermal fibroblasts, the enzymes responsible for the balance between deterioration of damaged tissues and their replacement with new ones, contributing to the repair of skin lesions and the regeneration of healthy skin.  

Removal of Scar Tissues

These scar and stretch marks treatment products operate through a removal process called hydroxylation. By continued daily application for a period of time, depending on the depth of the scarring and on how early they are treated, the natural enzymes consume, digest and breakdown the damaged skin proteins into their basic building blocks (the amino-acids) while haemocyanin brings new oxygen into the cells.

The biological serum also triggers and speeds up the proliferation of fibroblasts that are the cells responsible for the production of all the elements of the skin matrix, repair of wounded tissues and regeneration of healthy skin.

Not Just Another Stretch Marks Cream

You have two options:

A) BIOSKINEXFOL for skin resurfacing at home microdermabrasion treatment and regeneration of old and rough stretch marks.

This product includes micro-crystals to polish away the upper most microns of rough damaged skin to make it look and feel softer and more even. The abrasion also helps the enzymes of the snail's healing serum to penetrate further to dissolve scar tissues, while its activators of skin regeneration enhance the natural healing process.

BIOSKINEXFOL should be used for four to six months on stretch marks that are older and when the surface marks are rough or white and no longer red as is with newly formed striae (medical term for stretch marks).

4 oz (120 grams) $89

B) BIOBODYCREAM for stretch marks prevention and for treatment of new marks

BIO BODY CREAM is recommended from the sixth month of pregnancy to prevent stretch marks and during 3 to 6 months to treat newly formed scars and stretch marks.

4 oz (120 grams) $79.98

The improvement with these products may persist for almost nine months after discontinuing their application.

As in nature, solutions do not emerge overnight and usually there's no such thing as a quick fix with chemical imitations of nature’s gifts. Only with repeated use on the affected areas to strengthen skin and dissolve damaged tissues little by little, beauty can be restored safely and naturally with a routine regimen.

SAFETY PROFILE

a) It is well known that lectin has mitogenic capacity and strong lymphoproliferative activity.
Since organisms similar to the snail Helix Aspersa Müller produce lectin secretions capable of agglutinating human type A erythrocytes, studies were performed to detect the presence of lectin in the snail's serum by comparing the secretion with lectin PHA. The findings clearly differentiate the serum from the secretions of other mollusks with lectin-type activity.

b) The serum showed no anticoagulant activity.

TOXICOLOGICAL PROFILE

Biochemical studies of its general toxicity in animals shows the snail's serum has no systemic toxicity. In addition, the serum has caused no histological changes indicative of toxicity in any of the organs examined to date. Also the serum doesn’t induce experimentally teratogenic alterations. In animal studies, percutaneous administration of the serum leads to no histological signs of chronic toxicity.

This is unlike the risks you may expose yourself too with cosmetic procedures.
