The secret of botanical cream that has kept women's skin healthy amd youthful became the basis for the development of AdorageMD-the luxury skin care line.Developed in the 19th century by pharmacist Henri Coullet, the recipe was an alchemical blend of botanical herbs, each with a specific benefit for the skin and originally used by French actress , Delphine Vouler, to maintain her nearly flawless complexion. The Vouler family in Provence kept the recipe and later shared it with the AdorageMD founders, enabling it to be replicated and enchanced in efficacy through the addition of new botanicals in a technologically innovative incarnation.



As you get older, your skin tends to loose its youthful glow, moisture and suppleness.

The problem, associated with menopause is the drop in estrogen levels, causing the skin to become more thin and dry.This is the time, when the skin becomes a less efficient barrier against irritants, allergens and bacteria.Topical botanical estrogen creams can help female skin avoid the changes that come with estrogen loss.

Soy is the best sorce for natural botanical estrogen, which was well known even in the 19th century.

In regards to the skin Soy is fantastic. Applying a cream containing soy to your face will boost collagen production and actually reverse signs of aging. Topically applied soy does not exert any hormonal effects. Now it is considered to be an active ingredient in skin care as Vitamin C, retinol, Glycolic acid and Hyaluronic acid.

Recent research has shown that soy possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects on skin. The components in soy responsible for these effects are isoflavones, a class of plant compounds abundant in Soy beans.

Isoflavones are:

- stimulating collagen production in the skin, which helps to increase the skin's supporting structure thereby increasing its thickness and elasticity

- inhibiting matrix metallo-proteinases, enzymes that break down network of protein, that make up the skin's support layer

Numerous studies have also shown that Soy has the reputation for improving hyper-pigmentation, elasticity and moisture in the skin due to estrogen-type and antioxidant effects of its metabolites: genistein and daidzein. They are phytoestrogens with a weak estrogenic effect.

Genistein significantly inhibits carcinogen-induced reactive oxygen species and oxidative DNA damage.

Postmenapousal women have a measurably thinner dermis and less collagen as compared to younger women.Topical applying of botanical estrogen ( derived from Soy) diminishes significantly the skin thinning and collagen loss.
