Los Angeles (PRWEB) September 16, 2006 -- On October 3, Sonya Dakar will launch its premiere age control collection, UltraLuxe. This four piece collection harnesses nine different age-defying technological compounds, one of them being Syn-Ake, a synthetic snake venom. In development and testing for over three years, this forward-looking collection creates a fusion between some of the most natural and technologically-advanced ingredients available today.

The Collection

Sonya Dakar introduces its most luxurious and innovative line to date with the revolutionary UltraLuxe Collection. In development and testing for over three years, this collection represents a new standard in age control technology. Consisting of a wash, mask, and two age control complexes, this forward-looking collection creates a fusion between some of the most natural and technologically-advanced ingredients available today. To maximize age control, Sonya Dakar has created the UltraLuxe age control facial -- a treatment that is essential for people of all ages.

On the use of synthetic snake venom in UltraLuxe

Of the nine anti-aging technologies that are being used in the UltraLuxe Collection, SYN®-AKE – an active synthetic compound based on the paralyzing effect of Waglerin 1, the main peptide found in Temple Viper’s venom – is the most fascinating. While cosmetic surgery, Botox in particular, is still very popular, the beauty industry has seen a rising need for less invasive cosmeceutical alternatives that have the same muscle relaxing properties. Seeing this need, many pharmaceutical companies have been researching the cosmetic uses of snake venom, including the peptides that cause paralysis.

A special focus has been made on the investigation of the Temple Viper’s venom since it is less irritating to skin than other snake venoms – SYN®-AKE is the product of this research. When conceiving of the UltraLuxe Collection, Sonya Dakar wanted to provide her clientèle with a non-surgical alternative to Botox and incorporated SYN®-AKE in her revolutionary Nonaplex™ technology.

UltraLuxe’s Nonaplex™ technology

The corner stone of the UltraLuxe Collection is its Nonaplex™ technology. A synergistic blend of SYN®-AKE, Argireline, Laminactine, Violoxx, Syn-coll, Matrixyl 3000, Gatuline, and Secrets of Acerola and Pomme, these 9 anti-aging ingredients combine to form one of the most potent age control systems available. In addition to the Nonaplex™ technology used throughout the UltraLuxe Collection, Sonya Dakar has infused her products with pomegranate, orange blossom, rosemary leaf, grapefruit, verbena, papain, oat protein and jasmine in an effort to utilize ingredients with naturally-occurring anti-aging properties.
