Hyaluronic acid

Abundant polysaccharide in the body that allows to maintain proper hydration of the tissues, thanks to its intrinsic ability to bind numerous water molecules. It improves skin firmness and rehydration and promotes skin healing.

Vitamin E
It is the antioxidant vitamin par excellence, it protects the lipids of cell membranes, the main target of free radicals. Vitamin E typically has a moisturizing, anti-inflammatory and soothing action. Applied to the skin, it reduces the formation of lipoperoxides and slows down photoaging.

Vitamin A
It is a fat-soluble vitamin with a high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action.

Aloe
Aloe (Aloe Barbadensis or Aloe ferox Miller - Asphodelaceae family) is a plant native to Central America, Africa and the Mediterranean regions, used for millennia by ancient populations to treat various problems. It consists of four categories of components, which give the plant different and very important properties.

Thanks to the numerous chemical constituents of Aloe, the therapeutic effects are the result of the synergistic interaction of the active ingredients with receptive molecules of the human organism. Aloe therefore performs:

Ribes nigrum
It is frequently used in herbal medicine to stimulate the production of cortisol with an anti-inflammatory action.

Chamomile
Chamomile, or Matricaria Recutita, belongs to the Asteraceae (Composite) family and is currently widespread throughout Europe, America and Australia. It boasts spasmolytic (for internal use) and soothing (for external use) properties.
Chamomile is characterized by hydrophilic and lipophilic constituents, which give it different typical properties. Among the hydrophilic components there are flavonoids, glycosylated coumarins and phenolic acids which, extracted with aqueous solvent, give the extract spasmolytic, sedative and antioxidant properties. In particular, the anxiolytic property is due to the presence of a flavonoid molecule called apigenin 7-glucoside. The lipophilic components are represented by terpenes including monoterpenes (bisabolol) and cyclic ethereal sesquiterpenes), coumarins and azulenes (chamazulenes) which give the extract a typical blue color: these constituents contribute to the formation of an essential oil that boasts antiseptic, anti-inflammatory properties and soothing. The soothing action in the cleanser is useful for eliminating those annoying sensations of local dryness present especially in menopause.

Calendula
Calendula ( Calendula officinalis ) is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Asteraceae family. It is rich in active ingredients useful for the skin including vitamin C, flavonoids, resins, mucilages, carotenoids, triterpenes and saponins. calendula therefore boasts an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and healing action on skin and mucous membranes.

Lavender
The officinal lavender ( Lavandula angustifolia ) is an aromatic plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family. The essential oil is frequently used for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, healing and decongestant properties on the skin and mucous membranes.

Lactic acid
Lactic acid is an organic acid belonging to the category of alpha hydroxy acids, substances capable of breaking the bonds that are created between keratinocytes, favoring skin peeling, even up to the deeper layers of the epidermis. In fact, lactic acid has properties of skin exfoliating, humectant and pH regulator.
As a skin exfoliant, lactic acid is used at a maximum concentration of 10% in cosmetic products and at a pH above 3.5. It can be used, under medical supervision, in topical treatments against aging, and in this case the dosage can reach 30% and the final product must have a pH higher than 3.

It is a pentacyclic triterpene acid that is obtained from the licorice plant, Glycyrrhiza glabra . It has a complex structure that includes a fraction with cortison-like activity but without the side effects and risks associated with the use of cortisones. Glycyrrhetic acid exerts an anti-inflammatory action both by indirectly enhancing endogenous corticosteroids, by slowing down their catabolism, and by inhibiting the production of oxygen free radicals, powerful phlogogenic agents, by neutrophilic granulocytes. It also has a protective action on the skin and an anti-allergic action by inhibiting the release of histamine, leukotrienes, PGE2 and bradykinin.

Polydocanol
It has anti-itch properties, and polydocanol-based formulations are useful in treating itchy skin and scalp.

Thanks to the active ingredients it contains, Anoval is particularly indicated, in adults and children, as an adjuvant in the maintenance of trophism and physiological anogenital conditions.
