Drawing on the sources, ZO Skin Health leverages several exclusive complexes to deliver targeted benefits and enhance skin health transformation. Three prominent examples are ZOX12®, ZPOLY™, and ZO-RRS2®.
ZOX12®
Description: ZOX12® is described as an exclusive 12-hour time-release antioxidant complex.
Key Ingredients: It comprises encapsulated vitamins A, C, and E.
Benefits: The primary function of ZOX12® is to provide continuous antioxidant protection against free radical damage. This includes protection from damage caused by infrared (IR-A) rays. By neutralising free radicals, ZOX12® helps to prevent future signs of premature ageing and support DNA integrity and protection. It is a key component in ZO Skin Health’s Smart Sun Protection and is found in various products aimed at preventing and correcting signs of ageing.
ZPOLY™
Description: ZPOLY™ is an exclusive, plant-derived polysaccharide complex.
Key Ingredients: It is a blend of four polysaccharide extracts:
Laminaria digitata (brown seaweed) extract.
Opuntia ficus-indica (prickly pear) stem cell extract.
Schizophyllan (mushroom).
Galactoarabinan (larch tree).
Benefits: ZPOLY™ is designed to help prevent the appearance of premature signs of ageing and restore skin health. It supports skin barrier restoration to fortify skin against future external and internal stressors. Additionally, it boosts extended hydration after a single application and minimises the visible appearance of redness and blotchiness to provide a calm skin tone. ZPOLY™ plays a role in mitigating visible inflammaging and is included in products like Daily Power Defense and Illuminating AOX Serum.
ZO-RRS2®
Description: ZO-RRS2® is an exclusive plant stem cell complex.
Key Ingredients: It combines meristem cell cultures from two plants:
Leontopodium alpinum (edelweiss).
Marrubium vulgare (white horehound). The Training Manual notes it as white horehound while the Product Workbook refers to it as horehound.
Benefits: ZO-RRS2® provides powerful antioxidant protection and reduces visible redness while minimising inflammation. This complex is crucial in products aimed at soothing and calming the skin, such as Rozatrol® and is also included in formulations like Daily Power Defense, Illuminating AOX Serum, and Dual Action Scrub to help minimise inflammation and prevent future skin damage. These three exclusive complexes, ZOX12®, ZPOLY™, and ZO-RRS2®, exemplify ZO Skin Health’s commitment to advanced product technology and their Principles of Skin Health Restoration, focusing on protection, hydration, anti-inflammation, and the prevention of premature ageing. They work synergistically within the ZO product line to address a wide range of skin concerns and contribute to overall skin health and transformation, as we’ve discussed with Triple-Spectrum Protection and Retinol.
