AFU - Mummy Anti-wrinkle Facial Oil 0.35ml*21

Multi-Angle Wrinkle Reduction via Peptides:

• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 (Pal-GHK): Signals fibroblasts to boost collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan (like HA) production, directly combating skin thinning and loss of firmness.
• Acetyl Octapeptide-3 (SNAP-8): Acts on the SNARE complex, inhibiting neurotransmitter release more effectively than Argireline. This reduces repetitive muscle contractions (like frowning/squinting), softening expression lines (crow's feet, forehead).
• Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (Matrixyl): Stimulates key components of the extracellular matrix (collagen IV, fibronectin, hyaluronic acid) to improve skin firmness and reduce depth of wrinkles. 

Potent Antioxidant & Brightening Shield:

• Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (Oil-Soluble Vitamin C): Highly stable and penetrating form of Vitamin C. Neutralizes free radicals (pollution, UV), inhibits melanin production for brightening, and is essential for collagen synthesis.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E): Synergizes with Vitamin C, protects lipids from oxidation, strengthens the skin barrier.
• Dimethyl Methoxychromanol (DMC - Stabilized Ferulic Acid Derivative): Powerful antioxidant, stabilizes Vit C & E, protects against UV damage, brightens.
• Fullerene (C60): A super-antioxidant molecule that efficiently scavenges multiple free radicals, offering superior protection against oxidative stress.
• Bisabolol: Soothes and has antioxidant properties. 

Reinforced Skin Barrier & Lipid Replenishment:

• Ceramide NP: A crucial skin-identical lipid that restores the barrier, reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), improves resilience, and plumps skin.
• Phytosterols & Phytosteryl Isostearate: Plant-derived cholesterol analogs that strengthen the barrier, soothe, and help stabilize emulsions.
• Cholesterol: Another essential skin lipid that works synergistically with ceramides and fatty acids to repair and maintain a healthy barrier.
• Squalane: A bio-identical emollient that mimics skin's natural sebum, providing lightweight moisture, improving barrier function, and enhancing ingredient penetration without greasiness.
• Hydrogenated Lecithin: An emollient and penetration enhancer that also supports barrier function. 

Intense Hydration & Plumping:

• Sodium Hyaluronate & Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer: Attract and bind vast amounts of water within the skin. The crosspolymer offers longer-lasting, deeper hydration and a more significant plumping effect on the surface, instantly reducing the appearance of fine lines.
• Tremella Fuciformis Polysaccharide (Mushroom Extract): Known as "nature's hyaluronic acid," it holds even more water than HA, providing exceptional hydration and plumping.
• Glycerin, Butylene Glycol: Classic humectants drawing water to the skin. 

Nourishment & Emollience with Plant Oils:

• Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Inca Inchi Seed Oil, Linseed Oil, Sunflower Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Cottonseed Oil: Rich in essential fatty acids (Linoleic, Linolenic, Oleic), vitamins, and antioxidants. They nourish, soften, improve skin texture, support barrier health, and provide slip. Inca Inchi is particularly rich in Omega-3s. 

Unique Textural & Sensory Benefits:

• Pearl Powder: Adds subtle luminosity/radiance, may have mild exfoliating and brightening properties.
• Sapphire Powder: Primarily used for its sensory feel (smooth, silky slip) and light-diffusing properties to create a soft-focus, blurring effect on imperfections.
• Hydrogenated (Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene) Copolymer & Polymethyl Methacrylate: Film-forming agents that create a smooth, velvety feel on the skin, help "fill" lines temporarily, and improve product spreadability and longevity.
• Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate (SAIB): A non-oily emollient and film former contributing to a smooth, non-greasy feel. 

Supportive & Soothing Actives:

• Bidens Pilosa Extract: Traditionally used for wound healing; may offer antioxidant and soothing benefits.
• Sesamum Indicum Seed Extract: Rich in antioxidants (sesamol) and has moisturizing properties.
• Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil: Soothing, anti-inflammatory, barrier-supportive.
• Tetrahydromethylpyrimidine Carboxylic Acid (Ectoin): A powerful osmolyte that stabilizes proteins and cells, protecting against environmental stressors (heat, UV, pollution) and providing hydration and anti-inflammatory benefits. 

Penetration & Stability Enhancers:

• Dimethyl Isosorbide: Enhances penetration of active ingredients.
• Polyglyceryl-2 Oleate, Glyceryl Oleate Citrate: Emulsifiers ensuring the oil blend integrates well with water-soluble components and stabilizes the formula.
• Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: Lightweight emollient and solvent, improving texture and spreadability. 

Benefits in Summary:

• Visibly Reduce Wrinkles & Fine Lines: Through peptides (collagen boost & muscle relaxation), intense plumping (HA, Tremella), barrier repair (ceramides, lipids), and antioxidants (protection).
• Significantly Improve Skin Firmness & Elasticity: Primarily via peptide stimulation of collagen/elastin and barrier restoration.
• Deeply Hydrate & Plump: Using advanced humectants (HA crosspolymer, Tremella) and emollients for long-lasting suppleness.
• Fortify the Skin Barrier: Replenishing essential lipids (ceramides, cholesterol, phytosterols, fatty acids) to increase resilience and reduce sensitivity.
• Provide Potent Antioxidant Defense: Neutralizing free radicals with Vit C, Vit E, DMC, Fullerene, and plant oils to prevent premature aging.
• Enhance Radiance & Even Tone: Via Vitamin C, brightening extracts, and light-diffusing particles (Pearl, Sapphire).
• Offer Luxurious Sensory Experience: A smooth, silky, non-greasy feel with immediate blurring/soft-focus effects (Sapphire, film formers). 

Considerations:

• Fragrance: Present, which could be a potential irritant for very sensitive skin.
• Complexity: The sheer number of ingredients increases the potential for sensitivity in some individuals (patch test recommended).
• "Mummy" Marketing: While potent, no topical product can achieve "mummification" effects. Manage expectations towards significant improvement, not reversal.

In Essence: The AFU Mummy Oil leverages advanced biochemistry (peptides, stabilized Vit C, novel polymers, ceramides) combined with potent natural extracts and oils, offering a comprehensive strategy against wrinkles by targeting their root causes (collagen loss, muscle movement, barrier damage, oxidation, dehydration) while providing immediate cosmetic benefits. It's a high-performance facial oil for those seeking intensive anti-aging results.

PRECAUTIONS 

Patch Test First:

• Always patch test before full-face application. Apply a small amount (1 drop) to the inner forearm or behind the ear. Wait 24-48 hours. Discontinue use if redness, itching, stinging, or swelling occurs.
• High sensitivity risk: Contains fragrance and a high concentration of active ingredients (peptides, Vit C derivative, penetration enhancers) which may irritate sensitive or compromised skin. 

Fragrance Sensitivity:

• Contains "Fragrance" (parfum). Avoid if you have known sensitivities or reactive skin conditions (rosacea, eczema). 

Sun Sensitivity:

• Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (Vit C) can increase photosensitivity. Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF 30+ during daytime use. 

Pregnancy/Breastfeeding:

• Consult your doctor before use. While topical peptide absorption is low, some prefer caution with anti-aging actives during pregnancy/nursing. 

Avoid Contact with Eyes:

• If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. 

Storage:

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve antioxidant efficacy and prevent oil oxidation.
• Please keep this product out of reach of infants and young children. 

Discontinue if Irritated:

• Stop use immediately if persistent redness, peeling, or discomfort develops. 

HOW TO APPLY 

Timing:

• Best used at night (peptides and repair actives work optimally during skin's renewal cycle).
• Can be used in the AM if preferred, but MUST be followed by sunscreen. 

Steps:

• Cleanse & Tone: Start with a clean, dry face. Apply toner/essence if used.
• Water-Based Serums: Apply any water-based treatments (e.g., hyaluronic acid serums, antioxidants) first. Allow to absorb (~60 seconds). 

Apply the Oil:

• Dispense: Twist open 1 (0.35ml).
• Warm & Press: Rub drops between fingertips to warm, then gently press onto skin. Focus on areas prone to wrinkles (forehead, around eyes, nasolabial folds, neck).
• Avoid Rubbing: Pressing minimizes friction and helps the film-forming ingredients (sapphire powder, polymers) create a smooth, blurring effect.
• Follow with Moisturizer (Optional but Recommended):
• Lock in the oil and actives with a moisturizer or night cream. This boosts barrier repair and hydration.
• For sensitive skin: Mix 1-2 drops of oil with your moisturizer in your palm before applying.
• Morning Follow-up: If used in the AM, apply sunscreen as the final step after moisturizer. 

Frequency:

• Start with every other night to assess tolerance.
• If well-tolerated, increase to once daily (nightly) for best anti-aging results. 

Key Tips:

• ✅ Less is more – Over-application won’t increase benefits and may cause congestion.
• ✅ Press, don’t rub – Maximizes the "blurring" effect and reduces tugging.
• ✅ Layer wisely – Avoid combining with strong exfoliants (AHA/BHA/retinol) on the same night unless your skin is very resilient. 

This is a high-performance treatment oil. Respect its potency with a patch test, start slowly, use sparingly, press gently into skin, and always protect with sunscreen. When used correctly, it delivers comprehensive anti-aging benefits safely.
