Diamonds are recognized also for their mystic healing powers, bringing purity, invincibility, calming the mind and creating harmony. As part of the “ankh” – the ancient Egyptian cross-like symbol with a closed oval at the top, they represent life in its fullest form of beauty, light and perfection.
Diamonds and our products
With their innovative formulation, Diamond Cherry White Brilliance Diamond Collection Creams are pushing forward the borders of high performance skin care.
Following the hottest trends in the beauty industry today of facial non-invasive diamond microdermabrasion, we created creams filled with super fine natural diamond powder as the main ingredient of our proprietary Dermo Diamond Stability Complex, which have healthy brightening potential made for beauty and elegance. The diamonds in the Dermo Diamond Stability Complex act in a gentle way, protecting the skin while rejuvenating it. Therefore, they are the perfect choice in the next level everyday treatment of stubborn pigmentations, skin imperfections and melasma problems.
The use of the Dermo Diamond Stability Complex, consisting of real super fine natural diamond powder in the Diamond Cherry White Brilliance Diamond Collection Creams is unique. It brings the vitality of all our products to a new dimension. As a super fine micro abrasive, the diamond powder helps to a greater extent the normal natural daily renewal of the skin. It removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells from the top of the epidermis, thus enabling the moisturizers, vitamins, minerals, plant extracts and age fixing substances to penetrate better into the skin and reach the target cells in their fullest extent and in this way to tremendously multiply their health benefits.
This specific micro abrasion “peeling” properties of the Dermo Diamond Stability Complex, works precisely on the top cellular layer of the epidermis, only where the dead and old cells are. It is non-invasive, many times more subtle and gentle to the skin than a face wash scrub, and allows the perfect daily rejuvenation of the top layer of the skin, generating youthfulness, radiance and fresh sensation. It is especially tested and proven to bring benefits to all areas of the face including sensitive ones such as around the eyes, lips and neck, where the first signs of premature aging usually tend to appear.
Diamond Cherry gets your cosmetics in very special dispensers.
We, as health care professionals, take into account your health more than you can expect or even imagine.
One of the main points in cosmetics is the cream itself, and we make it our utmost important obligation that you will be able to use it in its best possible quality from the moment you open it, all through its shelf life – in other words: as newly opened.
In our airless dispenser, the cream is 100% protected from light – as the precious ingredients in our recipe are worth it.
The airless dispenser always guarantees clean flow of the cream with fine dosing options. Skin and air contact only takes place when you use your cream. Therefore, we can and only use preservatives in the minimum possible quantities approved in natural cosmetics.
Another advantage is that we devised our dispensers to be double-walled. This enables us to achieve the greatest possible thermal protection for our creams. Even if the storage should be as cool as possible in order to protect the ingredients, you can take the cream with you on your vacation without worrying.
Have you ever noticed how big the unused product residue in the supposedly empty packaging is? It doesn’t have to be like this! Our airless dispensers therefore use innovative technology to ensure that you can use almost all of our high-quality cream.
The Diamond Cherry environmentally friendly policy ensures that the dispensers made in Germany do not contain any plasticizers and are completely recyclable. They do not have to be laboriously separated during this process, as they are made exclusively from recyclable plastic and do not contain any metal parts. We strongly believe that a particularly high-quality content also includes well-engineered and ecologically sensible packaging.
DIAMOND CHERRY USE OF

The Cherry Blossoms are an omen of good fortune and synonymous of spring and new beginning. In the East, they are greeted with a euphoric cherry blossom ceremony, where people go out with their friends or loved ones simply to enjoy the breathtaking pink-and-white splendor. The intense and vibrant blossoming of Cherry Blossoms bestow hope and dream for greater achievements, but also an opportunity to forget past disappointments and failures and to look forward with optimism.
Cherry Blossoms are also a symbol of power because they represent feminine beauty, which is the greatest female power.
Cherry blossoms are edible and are perfect for use as food ingredient and supplement.
1. Anti-glycation effect of Cherry Flower Extract
Cherry Flower Extract has been proven as an anti-glycation agent that promotes collagen formation in fibroblasts that leads to anti-aging. To understand this, here is a short explanation of the mechanism of skin aging, leading to pigmentation, darkening and wrinkles.
Maillard reaction as source of aging
The Maillard reaction, named after L. C. Maillard, is also known as nonenzymatic browning. Maillard reaction is a chemical reaction between Amino Acids and reducing sugars by the impact of heat. The result of the Maillard reaction are brown nitrogenous polymers and melanoidins. In the meantime, AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products) also are the result of Maillard reaction.
Physiological Maillard reaction, creation of AGEs that promote skin cell damage
The Maillard reaction, that leads to the formation of problematic AGEs, can be also found in the human body. Formation of AGEs has been found to contribute to the progression of age-related diseases and diabetes. The Maillard reaction often involves sugar binding proteins such as collagen and elastin. Glycation of collagen and elastin in the skin causes the accumulation of AGEs, leading to intracellular damage and programmed cell death.
Key role of AGEs and skin ageing
AGEs accumulation is fundamental in skin aging, as it leads to oxidative stress and inflammation.
AGEs are formed intracellularly and extracellularly. They can react with proteins, lipids and nucleic acids in almost all skin cells as well as on intracellular or extracellular proteins. Through alteration of the physicochemical properties of dermal proteins, decreased cell proliferation, increased apoptosis and senescence, induction of oxidative stress and proinflammatory mediators as well as other pathways, AGEs contribute to the overall picture of skin aging.
High levels of AGE can also damage the regeneration of the skin, induce injury through cross-link of collagen fibrils, which results with the hardening of the collagen matrix and finally leads to apoptosis or death of fibroblasts. As a result the dermis collagen is injured, and skin becomes wrinkled and dull.
Proteins with slow turnover rate, such as collagen as well as long-lived proteins, are primary targets of glycation reaction in the skin. Accumulation of AGEs due to glycation of collagen may induce programmed cell death in fibroblasts creating a negative effect on hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin.
Studies are revealing the inhibitory effect of the Cherry Flower Extract on AGEs production, CML-collagen induced apoptosis and inhibition of induced programmed cell death in fibroblasts.
2. Bioactive ingredients of Cherry Flower Extract
A joint study by Kyoto Pharmaceutical University successfully identified caffeoyl glucose (1-caffeoyl-O-β-D-glucopyranoside) and quercetin glucoside (quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside) as the bioactive ingredients of Cherry Flower Extract.
Inhibition of AGEs production – ANTI-AGING
Bioactive components of Cherry Flower Extract and raw Cherry Flower Extract were added to buffer a solution containing D-glucose and bovine serum albumin at 60°C and left to stand for 2 days. Raw Cherry Flower Extract (100μg/mL) significantly inhibited the production of AGEs.
Furthermore, the major bioactive ingredient, caffeoyl glucose remarkably inhibited the production of AGEs at concentration as low as 10μg/mL. The inhibitory effect of quercetin glucoside was double stronger than that of kaempferol glucoside.
Inhibition of AGEs production in fibroblasts – ANTI-AGING
Normal human fibroblasts were treated with glyoxal (glycated intermediate agent), incubated for 5 days and then skin glycation was analyzed by Western-blotting method. The result is that Caffeoyl glucose inhibited the production of AGEs at 1 and 10μg/ml, as quercetin glucose performed less efficient. Cherry Flower Extract at 10μg/ml significantly inhibited the production of AGEs promoted by glyoxal, compared with control group. Thus, it is evident, that caffeoyl glucose plays the major role in the inhibitory effect of CHERRY FLOWER EXTRACT on the production of AGEs.
Inhibition of fibroblasts apoptosis– ANTI-AGING
Accumulation of AGEs in skin activates the skin damage and the programmed cell death of fibroblasts. The effect of Cherry Flower Extract and its bioactive ingredients on carboxyl methyl lysine (CML) collagen induced fibroblasts apoptosis was tested. Cherry Flower Extract, caffeoyl glucose and quercetin glucose reduced caspase activity, resulting in inhibition of fibroblast apoptosis. The effect of caffeoyl glucose was extraordinary in the inhibition. This proves that the Cherry Flower Extract is potent and useful as an anti-ageing agent.
Promotion of collagen formation in fibroblasts, KEEPING THE SKIN YOUNG
The fibroblast is the principal active cell of the connective tissue that is responsible for making the extracellular matrix and collagen. Fibroblasts are involved in tissue metabolism and play an important repair role.
Fibroblasts were cultured in collagen containing medium and treated with glyoxal, a glycation inducer. Then it was observed, that when cultured like that, the Fibroblasts were regularly producing a collagen lattice. The growth of fibroblasts and collagen lattice formation were increased in the presence of Cherry Flower Extract of 100μg/ml and 1000μg/ml. Cherry Flower Extract prevents glycation of fibroblasts and is efficient in maintaining extracellular collagen matrix.
Inhibition of melanin formation in B16 melanoma cells – NATURAL BRIGHTENING EFFECT
The skin brightening effect of Cherry Flower Extract was tested in B16 melanoma cells. Cherry Flower Extract was added to cell culture and incubated for 3 days. Then cells were crushed by extensive sonication termed “Hyper sonication” method, followed by absorbance measurement. The effect of the Cherry Flower Extract showed inhibition of melanin formation in a dose-dependent manner.
Natural diminishing to Inhibition of tyrosinase activity – NATURAL BRIGHTENING EFFECT
Synergistic combination with collagen is very strong and is supposed to be the best application for healthy skin maintenance.
DIAMOND CHERRY AND THE CHERRY FRUIT EXTRACT
From ancient days till the present moment, the skin brightening, and evening skin tone effect of the Cherry Juice is well known. It has a lot to do with its components, which thoroughly studied, can give us the knowledge how to apply them in our Diamond Cherry White Brilliance beauty lines.
There are at least a thousand studies concerning the health properties of the Cherries. They are a good source of fibers, vitamins and minerals, including potassium, calcium, vitamins A, B, C, E and folic acid. For this, they are well known for their antioxidant properties. They are a rich source of polyphenols – Gallic acid, Chlorogenic acid, Catechin, Epicatechin, Caffeic acid, Syringic acid, Ferulic, Rutin and Coumaric acid. The consumption of sweet or tart cherries can promote health by preventing or decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation.
The health benefits for the skin are clearly visible due to the polyphenolic and multivitamin content that provides the best lightening and anti-aging properties of our Diamond Up Your Skin Tablets.
The skin lightening properties of the cherry fruits are strongly connected to the phenols that are a considerable part of their chemical composition. Especially the Gallic acid and Chlorogenic acid. The first, which is a natural source of Trihydroxybenzoic Acid, acting effectively as strong antioxidant and a natural moderator of the melanin production in the body. Chlorogenic acid as one of the main polyphenols in the cherry is able in a natural way to inhibit monoamine oxidase A and the tyrosinase resulting in decrease of melanin production.
Cherries are also good for sleep as they contain melatonin, which regulates the sleeping pattern, thus making your body rest better and wake up with more glowing and radiant skin appearance.
DIAMOND CHERRY LEAF AND STEM EXTRACTS
The stem and leaves of the Cherry are new and interesting material for use in high-end cosmetics. Till this moment there are a lot of compounds identified from 4 different families: (1) organic acids, phenolic acid and derivatives; (2) flavonoids and derivatives; (3) fatty acid derivatives; and (4) terpenes, both hydrocarbons and oxygenated as the main class.
Antioxidant activity
Most of the above-mentioned ingredients have strong antioxidant activities and therefore they are highly desirable for DIAMOND CHERRY cosmetic ingredients for several reasons. On one hand, this activity protects our final formulation itself from oxidation, especially from oxidation related to its oily ingredients. In addition to this advantage, which is mainly related to the final product formulation, the antioxidant activity of the ingredients is extremely valuable for the good health of our clients. Catechins, naringenin, and chrysin are the main polyphenols in this line of action in the Cherry Stem extract, and are responsible for the reduction in lipid peroxidation and the depletion of hydroxyl radicals and nitric oxide.
Antiaging and brightening properties
The antiaging properties of the Cherry Stem extract are due to its natural inhibition of the main enzymes: collagenase, tyrosinase, elastase, hyaluronidase, and the AGE formation which are related to the prevention of the degradation of the extracellular matrix, skin preservation, and finally antiaging.
In this way the Cherry Stem protects and regulates the following main ingredients of the skin and their specific functions for its health:
– Protects the collagen, which plays a critical role in the appearance and function of the skin.
– Regulates the melanin production and naturally diminishes its dark spots formations.
– Protects the elastin as an extracellular matrix protein responsible for elasticity in the dermis and other connective tissues by forming elastin fibres.
– Protects the hyaluronic acid in the connective tissue, which presents water holding properties that maintain the viscosity and the correct permeability of the skin with one main result – maintenance of its hydration.
Photoprotection against UVB
Different substances from the Cherry Stem extract have photoprotection activity against UVB.
Naringenin has been shown to increase keratinocyte survival and inhibit apoptosis after UVB radiation.
Epigallocatechin gallate reduces UVB-induced damage in keratinocytes.
Catechin may protect skin cells against UVB-induced damage through its antioxidant activity.
Chrysin has shown UVB protection activity by attenuating UVB-induced apoptosis, ROS generation, and cyclooxygenase-2 expression.
Antibacterial properties
The extract made from the Cherry Stems is rich in linalool, α-pinene, 4-terpineol and therefore have bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity towards Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. That acts as a natural protection for the skin, which is the most exposed to the factors of the environment organ.
DIAMOND CHERRY USE OF GALLIC ACID SUBSTANCES
The Diglucosyl Gallic Acid combined with glycerine and water in the Diamond Cherry White Brilliance Collection Creams acts as a brightening, anti-aging and protective agent. It is a special preparation with active core of Diglucosyl Gallic Acid and acts as skin tone and color modulator molecule which is activated by a newly discovered layer of our skin – the stratum microbiotum.
Diglucosyl Gallic Acid, also known as Trihydroxybenzoic Acid alpha-Glucoside (THBG) is an example of a molecule that when topically applied to the skin by the skin’s microflora is partially converted into another active form, Trihydroxy Benzoic Acid (THBA). This active molecule works in the natural way of biological pathways and brings out our perfect and even skin tone by interacting with the melanogenes at several levels, protecting the skin and preventing inflammation.
Together, the above mentioned two molecules, not only inhibit free radical formation, which could result in hyperpigmentation, but more importantly, they help in a natural way to diminish the need of melanogenesis and are effective at reducing pigmentation spots, as well as helping to control formation of new ones.
In this way, Diglucosyl Gallic Acid is many times more effective than all known vitamins and kojic acid, that is no more allowed for dermatological use in EU. Diglucosyl Gallic Acid is preservative-free, odorless, water soluble and perfectly stable. It is also suitable for oily skin and addresses all the different causes of uneven skin tone, redness and pigmentation issues simultaneously.
DIAMOND CHERRY USE OF SWISS GARDEN CRESS SPROUT EXTRACT
Swiss Garden Cress Sprout Extract – Natural agent, effective in a new way for obvious brightening and uniformity of the skin
The Swiss Garden Cress is high in phytonutrients called also “super-foods”, a type of compounds that can be found in edible plants that have powerful medicinal properties. Sulforaphane is the main phytonutrient in Garden Cress which is known about its ability to neutralize reactive oxidants. The phytonutrients concentration in the sprouts is much more than in the mature plant. For this reason, this Swiss Garden Cress Sprout Extract, was prepared from 4 to 5 days grown sprouts. In addition, the sulforaphane content of the extract is standardized and included in liposomes. The idea to include the Swiss Garden Cress Extract in liposomes was to make it easier for absorption into the skin in order to target the melanocytes.
The reactive oxidants’ role in the pigmentation process
The skin loses its radiance with time evolving more and more age-induced or sun-induced dark spots demonstrating disruption of the pigmentation process. This complicated reaction is activated by sunlight and especially by reactive oxidants generated by UV in keratinocytes. Some other agents generating oxidants and free radicals like smoke, pollution and manner of living can lead to surplus concentrations of oxidants in the skin too, causing premature aging and pigmentation disorders.
The liposomal product of Swiss Garden Cress Sprout Extract which, as stated above is rich in sulforaphane, is a powerful antioxidant phytonutrient. In a natural way it successfully decreases pigmentation and strongly promotes lightening of the skin by targeting two key interaction steps in cascade of melanin production:
– Stimulates the cellular antioxidant defence system by deactivating reactive oxidants generated by UV in keratinocytes.
– Moreover, it naturally reduces the binding on melanocytes of α-MSH, a natural hormone that promotes skin pigmentation.
Thus, the liposomal Swiss Garden Cress Sprout Extract is effective and:
– Successfully, naturally reduces formation of melanin.
– Contributes to phenomenal illuminating benefits.
– Fades the discolorations and appearance of dark spots.
– Limits the effects of stressors during the day.
– Evens the skin tone.
DIAMOND CHERRY HYDROLYSED COLLAGEN AND THE DIAMOND CHERRY ACTIVATED BIO PEPTIDES
The unique Diamond Cherry Hydrolysed Collagen is activated by the process of interaction of the peptides and one of the ingredients of the Diamond Cherry proprietary blend extract. The result is the Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides which due to their low molecular weights have the best absorption at the matrix cellular level of the dermis. Their intake dramatically speeds up the natural collagen production processes in the whole body.
The oral intake of Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides affects the collagen metabolism in the dermis, increases dermal matrix synthesis and reduces skin wrinkles.
Unlike topical cosmetics that reach only the epidermis – the outer layers of the skin – oral intake of Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides influences the skin’s beauty directly from within.
Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides are derived from strictly controlled bovine sources. Collagen from bovine sources is the most effective one, as it has almost the same structure as human collagen present in our skin, bones, hair, and nails.
The Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides prevent the loss of collagenous extracellular matrix, slow down the formation of wrinkles and increase the skin moisture. It has also been proven that collagen peptides reduce cellulite and help the growth and strength of fingernails and hair.
The oral intake of the Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides in their maximal recommended dosage triggers a signal in our bodies to start production of collagen that significantly increases its levels within the body. This is because Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides are recognized by the fibroblast cells in the dermal layer of the skin as collagen fragments like those resulting from catabolic activities. This stimulated fibroblasts to increase collagen production to counterbalance the perceived so-called “degradation” in the dermis. The result is a considerably higher production of dermal collagen and its deposition in the overall extracellular matrix, compensating its loss through aging and the different environmental factors, like UV radiation and pollution. This is our Active Age Management Beyond Time System.
Therefore, by the above-mentioned process, Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides are absorbed, distributed and accumulated in the skin where they stimulate fibroblasts to produce dermal extracellular matrix components, consequently improving skin elasticity and decreasing wrinkle formation.
The Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides can remarkably improve the skin’s moisture content, increase its elasticity, and prevent the formation of wrinkles by stimulating skin metabolism and the creation of new collagen structures.
The Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides has a special amino acid composition that is the main factor enabling the stimulation of the fibroblast cells into the dermis. This remarkably eases and increases the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and proteoglycans, which are essential for providing elasticity and resistance of the skin. As a result, the epidermis is supported immensely from within, which highly prevents its aging. This is the way our ACTIVE AGE MANAGEMENT BEYOND TIME SYSTEM works.
The daily oral intake of Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides improves skin elasticity, contributes to a long-lasting feeling of rejuvenated appearance, and reduces wrinkles.
The product consists mainly of Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides from bovine collagen sources, exclusively bioavailable and pure, that are specifically designed to provide the highest possible efficacy in human skin care.
Diamond Cherry Activated Collagen Bio-Peptides improve the skin health significantly
Bioactive collagen peptides are important components for supporting healthy skin. Collagen peptides affect the collagen metabolism directly from within.
Thanks to the oral intake and their exceptional bioavailability, collagen peptides protect and nourish the entire dermis structure from within, giving greater resistance, elasticity, and hydration to the skin.
Diamond Cherry Activated Collagen Bio-Peptides increase the skin elasticity
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study revealed that collagen peptides lead to significantly higher skin elasticity. 69 women aged 35-55 years were randomized to receive 2.5 g collagen peptides or placebo once daily for 4 weeks. The results demonstrated that collagen peptides significantly increased skin elasticity – up to 15 % – compared to placebo treatment just in 4 weeks.
Skin elasticity also was assessed 4 weeks after the last intake of collagen peptides. The skin of those that took collagen peptides showed higher levels of elasticity than the placebo group.
Diamond Cherry Activated Collagen Bio-Peptides reduce wrinkles
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study revealed that oral intake of collagen peptides significantly reduced wrinkles and increased the collagen in the skin.
More than 100 women aged between 45 and 65 years were randomized to receive 2.5 g of collagen peptides or placebo, once daily for 4 weeks.
The study showed that the oral intake of collagen peptides (2.5 g/day) significantly reduced wrinkles after 4 weeks and lead to a remarkably higher content of procollagen in the skin.
Collagen peptides considerably reduced skin wrinkles and increased collagen in the skin by 60%.
Diamond Cherry Activated Collagen Bio-Peptides improve skin surface structure and decrease cellulite
Cellulite is not a medical issue. Cellulite is a purely cosmetic condition that many women suffer from, as it affects 80-90% of women worldwide.
Cellulite (orange peel skin) is caused primarily by dermal matrix disorders, in combination with excess of subdermal fat bulging into the dermis, as well as excess of interstitial fluid.
Collagen peptides have beneficial effects on the dermal extracellular matrix of the skin and can help to decrease cellulite because they directly stimulate the extracellular matrix formation in skin.
A double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study with 105 women aged between 25 and 50 years showed that the daily oral intake of 2.5 g collagen peptides significantly decreases the cellulite score. The degree of cellulite was evaluated before starting the treatment and after 3 and 6 months of intake. In addition, skin waviness and dermal density were assessed.
The results showed that collagen peptides have beneficial effects on the dermal extracellular matrix of the skin and restore the normal structure of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Supplementation with collagen peptides also reduced the skin waviness, with first results visible after 3 months, with even more explicit results after 6 months. Collagen peptides treatment with daily dose of 2.5 g led to a statistically significant decrease in the degree of cellulite and reduced skin waviness in women with a BMI < 25.
Moreover, dermal density was remarkably improved (P < 0.05) compared to placebo.
The results of the study demonstrated that a long-term therapy with orally taken collagen peptides leads to an improvement of cellulite and has a positive impact on skin health.
Diamond Cherry Activated Collagen Bio-Peptides improve growth and health of fingernails
Brittle nail syndrome is a common problem among women and refers to nails that exhibit surface roughness, raggedness, and peeling.
Collagen peptides can help to improve growth and health of fingernails. A recent study showed that daily oral supplementation with collagen peptides decreases the symptoms of brittle nails after 2 months of treatment, reaching a decrease of 42 % after 6 months.
Additionally, compared to the control group, the nail growth speed was increasing. Collagen peptides led to a statistically significant improvement in nail growth after 3 months of treatment. At the same time, there was a remarkable improvement in nail peeling and a clearly decreased nail edge irregularity.
80 % of the participants agreed that the use of collagen peptides improved their nails’ appearance and were completely satisfied with the performance of the treatment. 75 % of the women perceived their nails as longer, 71 % said their nails grew faster and became longer.
The results of the study showed that a long-term therapy with orally taken collagen peptides leads to a faster growth, decreases nail roughness and peeling and has a significant beneficial effect on the overall health and outlook of the nails.

The result of the Maillard reaction are brown nitrogenous polymers and melanoidins. In the meantime, AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products) also are the result of Maillard reaction.
Physiological Maillard reaction, creation of AGEs that promote skin cell damage
The Maillard reaction, that leads to the formation of problematic AGEs, can be also found in the human body. Formation of AGEs has been found to contribute to the progression of age-related diseases and diabetes. The Maillard reaction often involves sugar binding proteins such as collagen and elastin. Glycation of collagen and elastin in the skin causes the accumulation of AGEs, leading to intracellular damage and programmed cell death.
Key role of AGEs and skin ageing
AGEs accumulation is fundamental in skin aging, as it leads to oxidative stress and inflammation.
AGEs are formed intracellularly and extracellularly. They can react with proteins, lipids and nucleic acids in almost all skin cells as well as on intracellular or extracellular proteins. Through alteration of the physicochemical properties of dermal proteins, decreased cell proliferation, increased apoptosis and senescence, induction of oxidative stress and proinflammatory mediators as well as other pathways, AGEs contribute to the overall picture of skin aging.
High levels of AGE can also damage the regeneration of the skin, induce injury through cross-link of collagen fibrils, which results with the hardening of the collagen matrix and finally leads to apoptosis or death of fibroblasts. As a result the dermis collagen is injured, and skin becomes wrinkled and dull.
Proteins with slow turnover rate, such as collagen as well as long-lived proteins, are primary targets of glycation reaction in the skin. Accumulation of AGEs due to glycation of collagen may induce programmed cell death in fibroblasts creating a negative effect on hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin.
Studies are revealing the inhibitory effect of the Cherry Flower Extract on AGEs production, CML-collagen induced apoptosis and inhibition of induced programmed cell death in fibroblasts.
A joint study by Kyoto Pharmaceutical University successfully identified caffeoyl glucose (1-caffeoyl-O-β-D-glucopyranoside) and quercetin glucoside (quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside) as the bioactive ingredients of Cherry Flower Extract.
Inhibition of AGEs production – ANTI-AGING
Bioactive components of Cherry Flower Extract and raw Cherry Flower Extract were added to buffer a solution containing D-glucose and bovine serum albumin at 60°C and left to stand for 2 days. Raw Cherry Flower Extract (100μg/mL) significantly inhibited the production of AGEs.
Furthermore, the major bioactive ingredient, caffeoyl glucose remarkably inhibited the production of AGEs at concentration as low as 10μg/mL. The inhibitory effect of quercetin glucoside was double stronger than that of kaempferol glucoside.
Inhibition of AGEs production in fibroblasts – ANTI-AGING
Normal human fibroblasts were treated with glyoxal (glycated intermediate agent), incubated for 5 days and then skin glycation was analyzed by Western-blotting method. The result is that Caffeoyl glucose inhibited the production of AGEs at 1 and 10μg/ml, as quercetin glucose performed less efficient. Cherry Flower Extract at 10μg/ml significantly inhibited the production of AGEs promoted by glyoxal, compared with control group. Thus, it is evident, that caffeoyl glucose plays the major role in the inhibitory effect of CHERRY FLOWER EXTRACT on the production of AGEs.
Inhibition of fibroblasts apoptosis– ANTI-AGING
Accumulation of AGEs in skin activates the skin damage and the programmed cell death of fibroblasts. The effect of Cherry Flower Extract and its bioactive ingredients on carboxyl methyl lysine (CML) collagen induced fibroblasts apoptosis was tested. Cherry Flower Extract, caffeoyl glucose and quercetin glucose reduced caspase activity, resulting in inhibition of fibroblast apoptosis. The effect of caffeoyl glucose was extraordinary in the inhibition. This proves that the Cherry Flower Extract is potent and useful as an anti-ageing agent.
Promotion of collagen formation in fibroblasts, KEEPING THE SKIN YOUNG
The fibroblast is the principal active cell of the connective tissue that is responsible for making the extracellular matrix and collagen. Fibroblasts are involved in tissue metabolism and play an important repair role.
Fibroblasts were cultured in collagen containing medium and treated with glyoxal, a glycation inducer. Then it was observed, that when cultured like that, the Fibroblasts were regularly producing a collagen lattice. The growth of fibroblasts and collagen lattice formation were increased in the presence of Cherry Flower Extract of 100μg/ml and 1000μg/ml. Cherry Flower Extract prevents glycation of fibroblasts and to be efficient in maintaining extracellular collagen matrix.
Inhibition of melanin formation in B16 melanoma cells – NATURAL BRIGHTENING EFFECT
The skin brightening effect of Cherry Flower Extract was tested in B16 melanoma cells. Cherry Flower Extract was added to cell culture and incubated for 3 days. Then cells were crushed by extensive sonication termed “Hyper sonication” method, followed by absorbance measurement. The effect of the Cherry Flower Extract showed inhibition of melanin formation in a dose-dependent manner.
Natural diminishing to Inhibition of tyrosinase activity – NATURAL BRIGHTENING EFFECT
Another experiment was prompted to test the effect of the Cherry Flower Extract on tyrosinase activity that is directly included in melanogenesis. The Cherry Flower Extract demonstrated natural diminishing effect on tyrosinase activity in a dose-dependent manner, pointing its skin brightening propensities. This is an evidence of the highly protective antioxidant qualities of the Cherry Flower Extract.
Synergistic combination with collagen is very strong and is supposed to be the best application for healthy skin maintenance.
From ancient days till the present moment, the skin brightening, and evening skin tone effect of the Cherry Juice is well known. It has a lot to do with its components, which thoroughly studied, can give us the knowledge how to apply them in our Diamond Cherry White Brilliance beauty lines.
There are at least a thousand studies concerning the health properties of the Cherries. They are a good source of fibers, vitamins and minerals, including potassium, calcium, vitamins A, B, C, E and folic acid. For this, they are well known for their antioxidant properties. They are a rich source of polyphenols – Gallic acid, Chlorogenic acid, Catechin, Epicatechin, Caffeic acid, Syringic acid, Ferulic, Rutin and Coumaric acid. The consumption of sweet or tart cherries can promote health by preventing or decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation.
The health benefits for the skin are clearly visible due to the polyphenolic and multivitamin content that provides the best lightening and anti-aging properties of our Diamond Up Your Skin Tablets.
The skin lightening properties of the cherry fruits are strongly connected to the phenols that are a considerable part of their chemical composition. Especially the Gallic acid and Chlorogenic acid. The first, which is a natural source of Trihydroxybenzoic Acid, acting effectively as strong antioxidant and a natural moderator of the melanin production in the body. Chlorogenic acid as one of the main polyphenols in the cherry is able in a natural way to inhibit monoamine oxidase A and the tyrosinase resulting in decrease of melanin production.
Cherries are also good for sleep as they contain melatonin, which regulates the sleeping pattern, thus making your body rest better and wake up with more glowing and radiant skin appearance.
The stem and leaves of the Cherry are new and interesting material for use in high-end cosmetics. Till this moment there are a lot of compounds identified from 4 different families: (1) organic acids, phenolic acid and derivatives; (2) flavonoids and derivatives; (3) fatty acid derivatives; and (4) terpenes, both hydrocarbons and oxygenated as the main class.
Antioxidant activity
Most of the above-mentioned ingredients have strong antioxidant activities, and therefore they are highly desirable for DIAMOND CHERRY cosmetic ingredients for several reasons. On one hand, this activity protects our final formulation itself from oxidation, especially from oxidation related to its oily ingredients. In addition to this advantage, which is mainly related to the final product formulation, the antioxidant activity of the ingredients is extremely valuable for the good health of our clients. Catechins, naringenin, and chrysin are the main polyphenols in this line of action in the Cherry Stem extract, and are responsible for the reduction in lipid peroxidation and the depletion of hydroxyl radicals and nitric oxide.
Antiaging and brightening properties
The antiaging properties of the Cherry Stem extract are due to its natural inhibition of the main enzymes: collagenase, tyrosinase, elastase, hyaluronidase, and the AGE formation which are related to the prevention of the degradation of the extracellular matrix, skin preservation, and finally antiaging.
In this way the Cherry Stem protects and regulates the following main ingredients of the skin and their specific functions for its health:
– Protects the collagen, which plays a critical role in the appearance and function of the skin.
– Regulates the melanin production and naturally diminishes its dark spots formations.
– Protects the elastin as an extracellular matrix protein responsible for elasticity in the dermis and other connective tissues by forming elastin fibres.
– Protects the hyaluronic acid in the connective tissue, which presents water holding properties that maintain the viscosity and the correct permeability of the skin with one main result – maintenance of its hydration.
Photoprotection against UVB
Different substances from the Cherry Stem extract have photoprotection activity against UVB.
Naringenin has been shown to increase keratinocyte survival and inhibit apoptosis after UVB radiation.
Epigallocatechin gallate reduces UVB-induced damage in keratinocytes.
Catechin may protect skin cells against UVB-induced damage through its antioxidant activity.
Chrysin has shown UVB protection activity by attenuating UVB-induced apoptosis, ROS generation, and cyclooxygenase-2 expression.
Antibacterial properties
The extract made from the Cherry Stems is rich in linalool, α-pinene, 4-terpineol and therefore have bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity towards Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. That acts as a natural protection for the skin, which is the most exposed to the factors of the environment organ.
The Diglucosyl Gallic Acid combined with glycerine and water in the Diamond Cherry White Brilliance Collection Creams acts as a brightening, anti-aging and protective agent. It is a special preparation with active core of Diglucosyl Gallic Acid and acts as skin tone and color modulator molecule which is activated by a newly discovered layer of our skin – the stratum microbiotum.
Diglucosyl Gallic Acid, also known as Trihydroxybenzoic Acid alpha-Glucoside (THBG) is an example of a molecule that when topically applied to the skin by the skin’s microflora is partially converted into another active form, Trihydroxy Benzoic Acid (THBA). This active molecule works in the natural way of biological pathways and brings out our perfect and even skin tone by interacting with the melanogenes at several levels, protecting the skin and preventing inflammation. Together, the above mentioned two molecules, not only inhibit free radical
formation, which could result in hyperpigmentation, but more importantly, they help in a natural way to diminish the need of melanogenesis and are effective at reducing pigmentation spots, as well as helping to control formation of new ones.
In this way, Diglucosyl Gallic Acid is many times more effective than all known vitamins and kojic acid, that is no more allowed for dermatological use in EU. Diglucosyl Gallic Acid is preservative-free, odorless, water soluble and perfectly stable. It is also suitable for oily skin and addresses all the different causes of uneven skin tone, redness and pigmentation issues simultaneously.
Swiss Garden Cress Sprout Extract – Natural agent, effective in a new way for obvious brightening and uniformity of the skin
The Swiss Garden Cress is high in phytonutrients called also “super-foods”, a type of compounds that can be found in edible plants that have powerful medicinal properties. Sulforaphane is the main phytonutrient in Garden Cress which is known about its ability to neutralize reactive oxidants. The phytonutrients concentration in the sprouts is much more than in the mature plant. For this reason, this Swiss Garden Cress Sprout Extract, was prepared from 4 to 5 days grown sprouts. In addition, the sulforaphane content of the extract is standardized and included in liposomes. The idea to include the Swiss Garden Cress Extract in liposomes was to make it easier for absorption into the skin in order to target the melanocytes.
The reactive oxidants’ role in the pigmentation process
The skin loses its radiance with time evolving more and more age-induced or sun-induced dark spots demonstrating disruption of the pigmentation process. This complicated reaction is activated by sunlight and especially by reactive oxidants generated by UV in keratinocytes. Some other agents generating oxidants and free radicals like smoke, pollution and manner of living can lead to surplus concentrations of oxidants in the skin too, causing premature aging and pigmentation disorders.
The liposomal product of Swiss Garden Cress Sprout Extract which, as stated above is rich in sulforaphane, is a powerful antioxidant phytonutrient. In a natural way it successfully decreases pigmentation and strongly promotes lightening of the skin by targeting two key interaction steps in cascade of melanin production:
– Stimulates the cellular antioxidant defence system by deactivating reactive oxidants generated by UV in keratinocytes.
– Moreover, it naturally reduces the binding on melanocytes of α-MSH, a natural hormone that promotes skin pigmentation.
– Thus, the liposomal Swiss Garden Cress Sprout Extract is effective and:
– Successfully naturally reduces formation of melanin.
– Contributes to phenomenal illuminating benefits.
– Fades the discolorations and appearance of dark spots.
– Limits the effects of stressors during the day.
– Evens the skin tone.
The unique Diamond Cherry Hydrolysed Collagen is activated by the process of interaction of the peptides and one of the ingredients of the Diamond Cherry proprietary blend extract. The result is the Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides which due to their low molecular weights have the best absorption at the matrix cellular level of the dermis. Their intake dramatically speeds up the natural collagen production processes in the whole body.
The oral intake of Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides affects the collagen metabolism in the dermis, increases dermal matrix synthesis and reduces skin wrinkles.
Unlike topical cosmetics that reach only the epidermis – the outer layers of the skin – oral intake of Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides influences the skin’s beauty directly from within.
Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides are derived from strictly controlled bovine sources. Collagen from bovine sources is the most effective one, as it has almost the same structure as human collagen present in our skin, bones, hair, and nails.
The Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides prevent the loss of collagenous extracellular matrix, slow down the formation of wrinkles and increase the skin moisture. It has also been proven that collagen peptides reduce cellulite and help the growth and strength of fingernails and hair.
The oral intake of the Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides in their maximal recommended dosage triggers a signal in our bodies to start production of collagen that significantly increases its levels within the body. This is because Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides are recognized by the fibroblast cells in the dermal layer of the skin as collagen fragments like those resulting from catabolic activities. This stimulated fibroblasts to increase collagen production to counterbalance the perceived so-called “degradation” in the dermis. The result is a considerably higher production of dermal collagen and its deposition in the overall extracellular matrix, compensating its loss through aging and the different environmental factors, like UV radiation and pollution. This is our Active Age Management Beyond Time System.
Therefore, by the above-mentioned process, Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides are absorbed, distributed and accumulated in the skin where they stimulate fibroblasts to produce dermal extracellular matrix components, consequently improving skin elasticity and decreasing wrinkle formation.
The Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides can remarkably improve the skin’s moisture content, increase its elasticity, and prevent the formation of wrinkles by stimulating skin metabolism and the creation of new collagen structures.
The Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides has a special amino acid composition that is the main factor enabling the stimulation of the fibroblast cells into the dermis. This remarkably eases and increases the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and proteoglycans, which are essential for providing elasticity and resistance of the skin. As a result, the epidermis is supported immensely from within, which highly prevents its aging. This is the way our ACTIVE AGE MANAGEMENT BEYOND TIME SYSTEM works.
The daily oral intake of Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides improves skin elasticity, contributes to a long-lasting feeling of rejuvenated appearance, and reduces wrinkles.
The product consists mainly of Diamond Cherry Activated Bio-Peptides from bovine collagen sources, exclusively bioavailable and pure, that are specifically designed to provide the highest possible efficacy in human skin care.
Diamond Cherry Activated Collagen Bio-Peptides improve the skin health significantly
Bioactive collagen peptides are important components for supporting healthy skin. Collagen peptides affect the collagen metabolism directly from within.
Thanks to the oral intake and their exceptional bioavailability, collagen peptides protect and nourish the entire dermis structure from within, giving greater resistance, elasticity, and hydration to the skin.
Diamond Cherry Activated Collagen Bio-Peptides increase the skin elasticity
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study revealed that collagen peptides lead to significantly higher skin elasticity. 69 women aged 35-55 years were randomized to receive 2.5 g collagen peptides or placebo once daily for 4 weeks. The results demonstrated that collagen peptides significantly increased skin elasticity – up to 15 % – compared to placebo treatment just in 4 weeks.
Skin elasticity also was assessed 4 weeks after the last intake of collagen peptides. The skin of those that took collagen peptides showed higher levels of elasticity than the placebo group.
Diamond Cherry Activated Collagen Bio-Peptides reduce wrinkles
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study revealed that oral intake of collagen peptides significantly reduced wrinkles and increased the collagen in the skin.
More than 100 women aged between 45 and 65 years were randomized to receive 2.5 g of collagen peptides or placebo, once daily for 4 weeks.
The study showed that the oral intake of collagen peptides (2.5 g/day) significantly reduced wrinkles after 4 weeks and lead to a remarkably higher content of procollagen in the skin.
Collagen peptides considerably reduced skin wrinkles and increased collagen in the skin by 60%.
Diamond Cherry Activated Collagen Bio-Peptides improve skin surface structure and decrease cellulite
Cellulite is not a medical issue. Cellulite is a purely cosmetic condition that many women suffer from, as it affects 80-90% of women worldwide.
Cellulite (orange peel skin) is caused primarily by dermal matrix disorders, in combination with excess of subdermal fat bulging into the dermis, as well as excess of interstitial fluid.
Collagen peptides have beneficial effects on the dermal extracellular matrix of the skin and can help to decrease cellulite because they directly stimulate the extracellular matrix formation in skin.
A double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study with 105 women aged between 25 and 50 years showed that the daily oral intake of 2.5 g collagen peptides significantly decreases the cellulite score. The degree of cellulite was evaluated before starting the treatment and after 3 and 6 months of intake. In addition, skin waviness and dermal density were assessed.
The results showed that collagen peptides have beneficial effects on the dermal extracellular matrix of the skin and restore the normal structure of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Supplementation with collagen peptides also reduced the skin waviness, with first results visible after 3 months, with even more explicit results after 6 months. Collagen peptides treatment with daily dose of 2.5 g led to a statistically significant decrease in the degree of cellulite and reduced skin waviness in women with a BMI < 25. Moreover, dermal density was remarkably improved (P < 0.05) compared to placebo.
The results of the study demonstrated that a long-term therapy with orally taken collagen peptides leads to an improvement of cellulite and has a positive impact on skin health.
Diamond Cherry Activated Collagen Bio-Peptides improve growth and health of fingernails
Brittle nail syndrome is a common problem among women and refers to nails that exhibit surface roughness, raggedness, and peeling.
Collagen peptides can help to improve growth and health of fingernails. A recent study showed that daily oral supplementation with collagen peptides decreases the symptoms of brittle nails after 2 months of treatment, reaching a decrease of 42 % after 6 months.
Additionally, compared to the control group, the nail growth speed was increasing. Collagen peptides led to a statistically significant improvement in nail growth after 3 months of treatment. At the same time, there was a remarkable improvement in nail peeling and a clearly decreased nail edge irregularity.
80 % of the participants agreed that the use of collagen peptides improved their nails’ appearance and were completely satisfied with the performance of the treatment. 75 % of the women perceived their nails as longer, 71 % said their nails grew faster and became longer.
The results of the study showed that a long-term therapy with orally taken collagen peptides leads to a faster growth, decreases nail roughness and peeling and has a significant beneficial effect on the overall health and outlook of the nails.
