SWISS ALPINE LIGHT WATER 

The breakthrough water technology at the heart of Elixseri serums 

At the heart of all our serums lies our patented and breakthrough water technology, which holds the promise of transformative results for your skin.  

Did you know that a significant portion – between 65% to 85% of a skincare formulation is made up of water? And did you also know that not all waters are equal? At Elixseri, we understand the vital role that the quality of water plays in a product. So, led by our scientists and the latest water research, we dedicated ourselves to ensuring we used the purest form of hydration possible in our serums. 

This is why Elixseri serums are formulated with our exclusive Swiss Alpine Light Water – an innovation which uses a patented distillation process. The result? Unrivalled bio-identical hydration that your skin craves, ensuring optimal absorption and efficacy of the serums and their ingredients. 

THE BENEFITS OF ELIXSERI’S EXCLUSIVE SWISS ALPINE LIGHT WATER: 

  • Scientifically proven to penetrate deeper into skin cells 
  • Ensures a 30% higher bioavailability of active ingredients, meaning they are better absorbed by the skin, increasing their effectiveness  
  • Preserves collagen structures  
  • Encourages cellular regeneration 
  • Improves skin resistance against external aggressions (ie UV, climate, pollution) 
  • Clinically proven to remarkably reduce inflammation and redness 
  • Helps to balance the skin’s microbiome by promoting the production of good bacteria 

THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER FOR THE SKIN 

Water is a fundamental necessity for life and is crucial for the optimal functioning of our organs. We are made up of 70% water and water accounts for 60% of our skin – the body’s largest organ.  Water plays a pivotal role in preserving essential skin components such as Collagen, Elastin, and Keratin, which are vital for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. Furthermore, water is indispensable for skin metabolism and health, facilitating the processes by which skin cells repair and regenerate themselves. 

THE SCIENCE OF LIGHT WATER 

Water has a perfectly balanced molecular structure (diag.1). Each water molecule consists of two Hydrogen atoms (H) and one Oxygen atom (O) =  H2O. These are bound together to form a perfectly proportioned triangle shaped molecule. 

However over billions of years and through constant exposure to atmospheric UV radiation, the molecule’s perfect proportions have become altered. Neutrons (tiny particles that help make up an atom) from our atmosphere have fused with the Hydrogen atoms, resulting in the creation of Deuterium (D).  The combination of Hydrogen and Deuterium is a ‘Heavy Hydrogen Isotope’. The Isotopes weigh down the entire water molecule, rendering the water ‘heavier’ (diag. 2).

DIAG 2: HEAVY WATER

When the water molecule is ‘heavier’ and lacks perfect symmetry, it can disrupt the bonding properties of water. This hinders the water molecule’s ability to penetrate to the deeper levels of the skin and limits its capacity to form effective bonds with other ingredients. For a skincare product to be as effective as possible, it is best to formulate with the lightest water possible.  

HOW WATER WEIGHTS ARE MEASURED

Water weights can be measured by assessing the concentration of deuterium, expressed in ‘parts per million’ (ppm). Typically, most water registers around 150 ppm. Interestingly, the ppm of water can vary based on factors such as location, altitude, water source, and treatment processes. For instance, city water usually is around 150 ppm. For comparison, melted Arctic Ice has a ppm of 90.

Water with a ppm of less than 130 is categorized as Light Water.

ELIXSERI’S PATENTED AND EXCLUSIVE SWISS ALPINE LIGHT WATER BOASTS AN IMPRESSIVELY LOW PPM OF 50, MAKING IT THE LIGHTEST WATER USED IN SKINCARE TODAY.

ELIXSERI’S PATENTED LIGHT WATER TECHNOLOGY  

Being a Swiss skincare brand means that we already have access to some of the best and most purified water on the planet. Our Swiss Alpine Light Water begins its journey in the stunning Alps, flowing into Lake Zurich, close to the Laboratory. In the lab, the water undergoes a patented distillation process, whereby it is put through a specially built 6-meter “steam column” designed to extract the Heavy Hydrogen Isotopes via evaporation. Simply put, Light Water evaporates at a faster rate and is collected, leaving the heavier water behind.

LIGHT WATER WORKS IN SYNERGY WITH KEY ACTIVE INGREDIENTS 

Light Water works synergistically within our serum formulas as part of our exclusive Bio-Regenerative Technology (BRGT™), aimed at optimising skin health, skin metabolism, and slowing down the ageing process. At the core of this technology lies the fusion of Swiss Alpine Light Water with Prebiotic Fruit Ferments and Meristem Concentrates (plant stem cells). 

Light Water serves a crucial role in enhancing the efficacy of our formulations by facilitating the optimal transportation and penetration of all other ingredients through cell membranes. Clinical tests have demonstrated a remarkable 30% increase in the bioavailability of active ingredients to the cells. This translates to a higher potency and more effective delivery of active ingredients compared to other types of water.
