NIANCE – is a premium anti-ageing skincare line from Switzerland, developed and marketed by Swiss Mountain Cosmetics GmBh. As a genuine Swiss brand, NIANCE provides highly effective skincare solutions, excellent purification and rejuvenation of the skin. Owing to the latest research findings in dermatology and rare plants from the Swiss Alps, scientists in NIANCE laboratories managed to create a multi-anti-aging skincare line, capable to rejuvenate the skin on all its 3 levels. 

The story of NIANCE began in 2007, when Dr. Rainer Schmidt, founder of Swiss Mountain Cosmetics GmbH., had an idea to create unique cosmetics which would combine powerful active agents, high Alpine plants and unforgettable treatments in the Swiss atmosphere. Short life trends or products with only one active agent – both had little appeal to the researchers at NIANCE. The skin demands effective care on every level. And so they have developed a unique concept never before seen anywhere else in the world – NIANCE Multi-Anti-Aging. The specially selected blend of active ingredients acts simultaneously not only on 1, but on the 3 layers of the skin: epidermis, dermis and subcutis.

Aging is an inhibition of metabolic processes in skin cells, which ensure normal functioning of cells at a young age. Aging takes place primarily at the intracellular level, and external symptoms are just a consequence. Effective rejuvenation is the intradermal skin regeneration, i.e. activation of metabolic processes in the skin cells. The long-term rejuvenation axiom is that the aging process should be treated at the level of the dermis (inside), and not on the level of the epidermis (only externally). NIANCE rejuvenates the skin not only on the tissue level, but also on the cellular and subcellular levels, acting on all the mechanisms of skin aging. This means full restoration of the skin, which is achieved through carefully selected active ingredients, each of which performs a variety of important functions.

For example, complex of minerals protects against free radicals, enforces collagen production and renews skin cells. Vitamin cocktail improves blood circulation and cell regeneration. Powerful peptide complex improves oxygen supply, strengthens collagen and smoothens the skin surface. Watermelon extract from Kalahari desert strengthens skin’s own protective system. Bristle oat extract provides intensive moisture supply. Saccharide complex builds up a moisture reservoir. Yeast cell plasma stimulates hyaluronic acid synthesis.

The core of NIANCE formulas is the Swiss Glacier Complex. It is a blend of extracts of Edelweiss, plants, vitamins, minerals and glacier water from pristine areas of the Swiss Alps. The plants, used in the Swiss Glacier Complex, are organically cultivated in an ecologically certified cultivation in the Alps and grow at altitudes between 1.000 and 1.500 metres. The crops are regularly controlled by inspectors from the independent BIO.SUISSE organization. The whole cultivation is certified by ECOCERT. Alpine glacier water has excellent revitalizing, anti-oxidative and anti-ageing properties.

Cultivation of Edelweiss is a special ritual. Organic extract is obtained from the blossoms or the whole plant of the Alpine Edelweiss (Leontopodium Alpinum), which is manually picked up in the Swiss mountains. Edelweiss refers to one of the few protected plant species in Switzerland. The flower is highly valued by tourists and botanists, many of which even lost their lives in an attempt to find a rarity among the high peaks of the Alps. It is a symbol of protection, purity and immortality. Extract of Edelweiss is in all aspects essential for the skin. It is a powerful anti-oxidant, which provides a protective, soothing and anti-inflammatory effect.

Extract of Edelweiss has a twice more powerful anti-oxidative effect, than the best known anti-oxidant agent – vitamin C! No wonder: in order to survive in extreme conditions, highly radioactive environment and low temperatures, Edelweiss developed a variety of protective mechanisms. It inhibits also activity of the hyaluronidase – a ferment, that degrades hyaluronic acid in the skin. Extract of Edelweiss a cytoprotective effect, protecting skin cells from damages. Certain phytochemical components of Edelweiss are capable to prevent other degenerative processes, which cause the skin to age. Finally Edelweiss has antiseptic, antifungal and antibacterial properties. Phytosterols, amino acids and polysaccharides, derived from Edelweiss, have additional moisturizing properties, nourish and strengthen the skin.

NIANCE treatments provide immediate lifting and long-lasting effect. The products do not contain harmful ingredients, PEGs, allergens, GMOs, paraffines and are not tested on animals. The brand offers 9 products of WOMEN line, 4 products of MEN line and a special bodycare series.

FEEDBACKS IN MEDIA:

"NIANCE scientists managed to ideally balance active agents, and even application of just one product provides immediate effect on all the three layers of the skin. Owing to an accurate selection of ingredients, these products allow to achieve instant lifting and long-lasting effect. Women line was created particularly for systematic care of normal and vulnerable skin. Highly effective premium line is a perfect choice for mature skin, which needs special care," VOGUE.UA

"The skin is an unbelievably complex organ which relies on a variety of nutrient elements. Deficits weaken the cells and can dramatically accelerate the aging of the skin. Simultaneously, the skin loses collagen over time, which makes lines and laughter lines form more quickly. The complexion loses tautness and elasticity and is susceptible to internal and external stresses. Now there is a need for a high-performance skincare treatment which feeds all the vital nutrients into the skin and specifically builds it up from deep within: NIANCE Premium Glacier Facial Serum with Swiss Glacier Complex!," FROW
