Swiss Alpine Environmental Defense Complex™
A complementary blend of two Alpine botanicals that provides antioxidant and moisture-supporting properties to help maintain comfortable, resilient and healthy-looking skin.
Why This Complex Matters
Everyday environmental exposure can contribute to the visible signs of premature skin aging, including dullness, dryness and a tired-looking complexion. Swiss Alpine Environmental Defense Complex™ combines two carefully selected botanicals—Buddleja and Thyme—in a system developed for antioxidant and moisturizing support.
The botanical blend draws inspiration from plants found in Alpine environments and the natural compounds that make them valuable in advanced skincare. Research has demonstrated antioxidant activity in laboratory testing, including investigations involving ozone exposure, a component of urban air pollution. Additional testing of a cream containing the botanical blend demonstrated improved skin hydration.
Together, these findings provide a scientific foundation for using the complex in formulations designed to support skin comfort, moisture and healthy-looking resilience.
Why Formulation Matters
Environmental defense requires more than a single antioxidant ingredient. A thoughtfully formulated skincare treatment can combine antioxidant-focused botanicals with hydration, conditioning ingredients and complementary technologies that address the visible effects of everyday environmental stress.
Luzern uses Swiss Alpine Environmental Defense Complex™ alongside other carefully selected actives according to the needs of each formulation.
In Force De Vie moisturizers, the botanicals complement Oxygen MFC™, hydration-supporting ingredients and replenishing lipids. In targeted serums, they work alongside ingredients selected to address visible dryness, uneven tone and skin comfort.
The result is a flexible botanical system whose benefits are shaped by the complete formulation.
Formulation Changes Everything.
How Luzern Uses It
In Crème Luxe, Crème Intensive and Crème Sheer, Swiss Alpine Environmental Defense
Complex™ complements Oxygen MFC™, antioxidants and hydration-supporting
ingredients. These formulations are designed to help maintain skin comfort, visible radiance and a smoother, more resilient-looking complexion while providing different levels of moisture.
Around the delicate eye area, the botanical blend complements peptides, Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and other conditioning ingredients. It contributes antioxidant-focused botanical support within a formula designed to address the appearance of fine lines, dryness and visible fatigue.
The complex is paired with soothing and hydration-supporting ingredients in a serum designed for skin experiencing visible stress, dryness or imbalance. Here, the botanicals complement a broader approach to skin comfort and
healthy-looking resilience.
OTHER LUZERN FORMULATIONS
Luzern also incorporates these botanicals into selected essences, mists, masks and body treatments, where their antioxidant and conditioning properties complement the specific purpose of each product.
