What's inside — active ingredients glossary

Larens, Larens Colour, Nutrivi and Cannavi product pages are full of names like Hyaceramidyl, Argireline or Regenesea™ LS. We've gathered them in one place — with a short explanation of what they do and which products they're found in. We've described the general fish collagen technology separately on the "Science" page.

Peptide and collagen complexes

This is the foundation of almost every Larens product — a full description of how they're obtained (cold extraction, freeze-drying, liposomes) is on the Science page, and the detailed composition, studies and comparison of both complexes on a dedicated page.

Biopeptide Complex

A cocktail of fish collagen oligo- and polypeptides obtained via cold extraction. Hydrates, fills in fine lines, supports collagen and elastin production, brightens discolouration. Found in Biopeptide Serum Spray, The One Man Face Cream, SunVera SPF 50 and Larens Dental Night toothpaste.

Liposomal Collagen Complex

Fish collagen peptides, decorin, lumican and histones enclosed in liposomes. Works on two fronts — fills damaged skin structures and initiates new collagen formation. Key ingredient in LipoColl HA Hydro Serum, Eye Serum Peptide Basic and Larens Dental Day Toothpaste.

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

A low-molecular-weight tetrapeptide that stimulates collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid synthesis. Reduces wrinkles and firms the skin. Found in Lifting Detox+ Face Cream.

Hydromanil™

A deeply hydrating ingredient, used among others in Biopeptide Serum Spray and the Hydro Face Cream Peptide Basic from the Peptide Basic Beauty Set.

Biomimetic peptides and plant actives

Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8)

A low-molecular-weight biomimetic peptide that relaxes muscle tension and prevents expression lines from deepening. Key ingredient in The One Man Face Cream and Eye Serum Peptide Basic.

Phytodermina H Lifting™

A natural plant compound that forms an invisible film on the skin, improving surface tension. Gives an instant lifting effect. Present in Lifting Detox+ Face Cream and The One Man Face Cream.

Bakuchiol

A plant-derived retinoid — exfoliates, evens skin tone and has antibacterial action, but unlike classic retinol doesn't increase sun sensitivity. Found in The One Man Face Cream.

Hyaceramidyl

A synergistic blend of hyaluronic acid, squalane and ceramides enclosed in liposomes — cares for the skin's hydro-lipid balance. Present in The One Man Face Cream.

Sun protection and skin matrix reinforcement

Regenesea™ LS

A marine ingredient sourced from Laminaria saccharina algae. Reinforces the skin's collagen matrix, reduces the visibility of wrinkles and provides cellular rejuvenation. Key ingredient in SunVera SPF 50 Face Cream.

Centella asiatica

Stimulates type I collagen synthesis, improves firmness and elasticity, soothes inflammation. Ideal for sensitive skin and post-treatment care. Present in SunVera SPF 50 and Face Toner Peptide Basic.

UVA/UVB filters

SunVera SPF 50 combines four modern chemical filters (including Ethylhexyl Triazone) that don't leave a white cast and work well as a makeup base, providing protection against photoageing.

Soothing, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant

Spirulina

Rich in chlorophyll, a strong antioxidant with a detoxifying effect. Reduces signs of skin fatigue and improves its elasticity. Present in Lifting Detox+ Face Cream.

Chlorella

Supports epidermal regeneration, soothes redness and has a strong antioxidant effect, slowing signs of ageing. Found in Lifting Detox+ Face Cream.

Bisabolol

Soothes irritation on sensitive skin, has an anti-inflammatory effect and reduces redness. Present in The One Man Face Cream.

Allantoin

Soothes and calms irritation, speeds up skin regeneration, and hydrates. One of the most frequently recurring ingredients across Larens products.

Witch hazel extract

Strong astringent and antibacterial action, improves skin blood flow, strengthens and tightens blood vessels. Present in The One Man Face Cream.

Carrageenan

Smooths the skin and protects it against excessive water loss. Present in Lifting Detox+ Face Cream.

Cleansing and mineralising (Larens Dental)

Hydroxyapatite

A natural mineral ingredient that rebuilds and strengthens enamel. Key to the Larens Dental Day Toothpaste formula.

Lithothamnium calcareum

A remineralising extract rich in calcium and minerals. Supports enamel rebuilding in Larens Dental Night Toothpaste.

Activated charcoal, kaolin, red clay

Four substances that absorb impurities and buildup from the tooth surface without harsh abrasion — the core of the Larens Dental Night Toothpaste whitening formula.

Cannabinoids and hemp derivatives (Cannavi)

CBD (cannabidiol)

The main, non-psychoactive cannabinoid in hemp oil. In CBD+ Oil Full Spectrum it appears alongside natural terpenes, flavonoids and trace phytocannabinoids from hemp, working synergistically.

CBG

Cannabigerol — one of the cannabinoids present at higher concentrations in CBD+ Oil Full Spectrum (10% and 20%), complementing the effect of CBD.

Hemp oil

The base of the Cannavi line (CBD Special Skin Therapy, Warming Help, Cooling Gel, Relaxing Balm) — hydrates and supports the skin's hydro-lipid barrier.

Without what? — what you won't find in Larens cosmetics

Larens formulas are designed without PEG, SLS, phenoxyethanol, microplastics, parabens, nylon, PVP and aluminium — a fixed reference point when composing the brand's formulas.
