The molecular structure of most nutrients are either "left" or "right" handed. The body's receptors for most nutrients are either "left" or "right" handed. Every process of the human body that is fueled by a nutrient, including the skin, requires the right-handed or left-handed "key" of the molecule, but not both.

It is important to use chirally correct formulas, those with the appropriately oriented molecular structure that matches that of your skin, to effectively nourish and treat the skin. Those formulas that are not chirally correct are not effective and can even cause irritations.

We can explore chiral nutrients even further. All amino acids (which make up protein) in our body are "left" oriented molecules. No protein in our body contains a right-handed amino acid. Doesn't it, therefore, make sense to offer the skin amino acids in the left-handed form only? On the other hand, all carbohydrates (i.e. sugars) in our body are right-handed molecules, and, not surprisingly, the cells seek right-handed carbohydrates and sugars. Knowing this, shouldn't we also offer the skin the chirally correct (left or right) version of nutrients?

Chiral technology used in the development of skin care products ensures the delivery of ingredients to skin receptors. This means that the absorption of nutrients is not inhibited by the incorrect orientation of the active ingredients. Such mal-orientation, found in most skin care products, not only renders the product ineffective, it is often the cause of irritation and other negative side effects. Since increased absorption of the proper ingredients is especially important when dealing with aged, sun damaged, acne, and sensitive skin, it is paramount to offer ingredients in a form that is easily absorbed, recognized, and utilized by the skin to restore the skin's integrity and immune function.

Chirally correct products can be applied to all skin types to cleanse, nourish, balance and support the normal functioning of the skin. Look for natural skin care products containing chirally correct ingredients.
