Power Quotes From The Show OneSkin Is Pro-Longevity

"At OneSkin, we are not anti-aging, we are pro-longevity. What we want to bring to people's life is the empowerment on aging and helping them get a skin that's strong to navigate the path of aging." - Alessandra Zonari

Get Rid of Senescent Cells

"What we did at OneSkin was research a new molecule that could reduce the senescent cells in the skin that secreting inflammation. When we are young, our body removes the cells and the tissue restores the homeostasis. But as we age, some of the cells don't die. And that constant release of inflammation start deteriorating the healthy environment around that cell." - Alessandra Zonari

The Skin Protects Your Organs

"Our skin is protecting all our organs internally from all the stressors in the environment. It's a very important organ that keeps the homeostasis of our body." - Alessandra Zonari
