Skin deep love

NAQI’s goal is to inspire a “Skin deep love” for the skin and all its facets and complexity. Join us in our mission to provide professional skincare solutions that nourish, protect, and strengthen the skin’s integrity. . .

The skin is an incredibly complex organ, serving as the largest organ in the human body and performing numerous vital functions. Its complexity lies in the various layers, cells, structures, and processes that work together to protect us, regulate the body temperature, provide sensory information, and contribute to overall health.

The skin is a multilayered structure and is composed of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue). Each layer has distinct functions and is made up of different types of cells and tissues. EPIDERMIS

The outermost layer of the skin is the epidermis , which acts as a protective barrier against external factors like UV radiation, pathogens e.g. bacteria, and chemicals.

DERMIS

The dermis lies beneath the epidermis and is thicker. It contains a variety of cells, such as fibroblasts, as well as collagen and elastin fibers that provide strength, elasticity, and support to the skin. Blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, and sweat glands are also found in the dermis.

HYPODERMIS

The hypodermis is the deepest layer of the skin. It contains fat cells (adipocytes) that act as insulation and energy storage and help regulate body temperature.

The complexity of the skin makes it a highly dynamic and adaptable organ, responding to various internal and external factors to maintain overall health and well-being. Its intricate structure and functions make it a fascinating area of study for dermatologists, scientists, and NAQI R&D skincare experts !

“ Skin Care is not just about the outer beauty. It’s about building a strong foundation from the deepest layers upwards. ”

NAQI® Massage Therapy Lotions

NAQI® Massage lotions are specifically developed for professionals to exceed their expectations and deliver exceptional results without fault.

Each lotion has a different purpose, complementing the therapist’s treament.

Moreover, the NAQI® Massage lotions are specifically developed as liquid crystal type emulsions to create a unique and effective delivery system for active ingredients in skincare

Its advantages include:

1

Enhanced Penetration:

The organized structure of liquid crystal emulsions allows for better penetration of active ingredients in the skin layer such as cetearyl ethylhexanoate, canola oil, panthenol and allantoin (just to name some) into the skin, increasing their effectiveness.

2

Improved Stability:

Liquid crystal emulsions help stabilize and protect sensitive or easily degradable ingredients, prolonging their shelf life and preventing them from breaking down.

3

Moisturizing and Hydration:

Liquid crystal emulsions have excellent moisturizing properties, as they can effectively lock in moisture and prevent water loss from the skin, leaving the skin of both therapist and client/ patient soft and well hydrated.

4

Skin Barrier Support:

The structure of liquid crystal emulsions mimics the skin’s natural lipid barrier, making them compatible with the skin and supporting its function. NAQI lotions help maintain a healthy and strong skin.

5

Smooth Texture:

Liquid crystal emulsions provide a smooth, luxurious feel on the skin, contributing to an enjoyable application experience.
