The ANAYA skincare line is intended for everyone: from newborns to adults. It is ideal for newborns and babies with diaper rash, dry or sensitive skin. It helps new moms in preventing stretch marks and flabby skin. It’s meant for anyone with dry, cracked and flaky skin as well as early signs of aging, acne-prone and/or irritated skin after shaving or waxing.
It slows down the skin’s aging process and serves as an excellent anti-age skin regimen. Moreover, ANAYA products help ease muscle tension and discomfort after strenuous exercise or prolonged periods of standing that result in tired and heavy legs.
ANAYA cosmetics skincare nourishes and protects the skin from various (extreme) weather conditions, especially after sun exposure. It soothes skin redness (i.e. rosacea), facial/body skin with visible capillaries and prevents bed sores.
Apart from treating specific skin issues, ANAYA creams and oils offer everyday care and protection for all skin types.
ANAYA is a rare, if not the only, active complete skincare line that transfers information into skin cells. The effects it has on the skin are remarkable and in many ways undiscovered in cosmetics until now.
All of its processes run in a potent antioxidant environment through unique effective microorganisms (based on the Japanese technology – www.emrojapan.com) and ionized water (the alkaline part).
ANAYA Smart Cosmetics actively nourish, regenerate and protect the skin from external and harmful factors in “collaboration” with natural ingredients, organic herbs and oils. It deeply nourishes all skin types and helps to restore facial and body skin imbalance.
The ANAYA skin care line addresses practically all skin conditions, whether it’s a current issue or a long-term discomfort. For example, the products are highly effective in helping anything from sensitive, dry, itchy, greasy and acne-prone skin to hypersensitive reactions after shaving, thickened/cracked skin on foot soles and deformed toenails. Additionally, the creams and oils maintain the skin’s elasticity and prevent premature wrinkles, stretch marks and cellulite.
The creams work in multiple ways: they deeply nourish and regenerate the skin, they slow down the skin’s aging process and they protect the skin from various (aggressive) environmental factors. They solve many problems by restoring the skin’s imbalance and helping maintain overall healthy skin. We would like to emphasize that one product can simultaneously help with several skin issues.
The medical community has been and continues to reiterate the importance of the human “microbiome.” The microbiome of each individual is unique and consists of a “good” and “bad” microorganism mixture, which essentially constructs the human body. All in all, the health of the human microbiome is vital for every individual’s well-being.
Although there is a plethora of information on the microbiota of the gut, less is known about microorganisms in other organs, such as the skin. The various organ microbiotas form a particular human microbiome, which is essentially each individual’s unique “footprint”.
As probiotics contribute to our gut’s health, effective microorganisms EM® have a similar effect on the skin (in a subtle, different way). And just as our diet affects our health through the gut microbiota, effective (good) microorganisms — in specially patented forms added to ANAYA creams and oils — affect the health of our skin.
Effective microorganisms EM® are an array of environmentally- and human-friendly, carefully selected varied strains of phototrophic and lactic acid bacteria as well as yeast prepared in various fermented forms based on the Japanese patented technology. They are indispensable in farming practices, agriculture, ecology and everyday household use, such as cleaning, washing and sanitizing. Effective microorganisms EM® are also effective as a probiotic and play an exceptional role in supporting our health and well-being.
We, at ANAYA Smart Cosmetics, have successfully applied the beneficial effects that Effective microorganisms EM® have on our environment to our full skincare line. The EM® efficacy on the skin has been proven by our positive customer feedback for over a decade.
All cells in the human body are interconnected; they send signals and talk to each other. This so-called intercellular communication incorporates effective microorganisms EM® appear to stimulate intercellular signaling by creating the most optimal conditions on cell membranes for unobstructed penetration of active ingredients into those areas of the skin and in such quantities where needed most. In other words, the skin extracts exactly what it needs at a given moment.
In cosmetics, we generally use demineralized or slightly acidic water (with a pH of approximately 5), from which all inorganic minerals and impurities are removed. At ANAYA, we use only water obtained from a special device called an “ionizer”.
The water is first purified through mineral-carbon filters and then ionized into an alkaline component (pH 7,5) and an acidic component. The obtained alkaline water contains an extremely low oxidation-reduction potential and is an exceptional antioxidant in itself. Such an environment, in combination with effective microorganisms EM®, is ideal for applying active ingredients onto the skin.
There are generally no long-term side effects while using ANAYA products. We do have to warn individuals treated with corticosteroids to use ANAYA skincare with caution. In the latter case, we recommend consulting our experts regarding product choice and correct use.
Initially, a reaction can take place when the skin is depleted of energy. Redness, swelling or a warm, stinging feeling can occur. However, these do disappear with regular use. In this case, we recommend consulting our experts.
Yes. Our skin communicates with practically everything it is exposed to, including products we apply on a daily basis. The various forms of effective microorganisms EM® work as described in our answer to question #3.
We haven’t experienced such a case thus far. The intensity of effective microorganisms EM®‘s beneficial activity largely depends on the condition of the skin (i.e. improper skin care) and potentially aggressive previous treatments with products containing corticosteroids.
Positive results can occur extremely quickly — in our experience, after only a few applications — depending on the condition of the skin and the duration of the problem or discomfort.
ANAYA products are not only meant as a “quick fix” for skin issues, but also to provide regular skin care for maximum customer satisfaction. All of our products are natural with all organically sourced herbs in forms and concentrations appropriate for unlimited use. Issues or problems can of course reoccur with the use of other inadequate creams and oils.
In general, yes. However, one must assess whether or not other products are even needed. ANAYA creams and oils basically provide the skin with everything it needs for a healthy, youthful complexion.
Creams and oils are to be applied in the morning and evening or anytime during the day as needed. One cream, a combination of two creams or a combination of oil and a cream may be used (applied one on top of the other). One may need two different creams to start with, but after a certain period of time, one may be enough. For additional help or advice, please consult our experts.
