Contrary to other seas, the water of the Mediterranean Sea has a very law presence of heavy metals and hydrocarbons. Particularly the water of the Cinque Terre is the most similar to the body fluids of the Mediterranean population. Moreover, the water which washes the Ligurian coasts is very oxygenated because it hits rocky coasts, with law tide excursion.
The seawater is taken from the Seapark of Cinque Terre (Liguria, Italy) at 3.5 miles far from the coast, at 6 meters depth.

COMPOSITION AND PROPERTIES OF THE COMPONENTS
ISOTONIC AND STERILE SEAWATER: re-hydrating, vehicle of active principles.
MARITIME CINERARIA: a spontaneous growing bush in all the Mediterranean area; from its leaves it’s extracted a distilled water with high anti-inflammatory, decongesting and astringent properties, specific for an ophthalmic use. It’s a plant also used during the initial phases of the cataract.
OFFICINALIS MARIGOLD: its pharmacological activities are due to its flowers which contain antibacterial, antiviral and anti fungal substances.
CENTAUREA CYANUS (CORNFLOWER): spontaneous plant of the Mediterranean area, it was always considered a valid aid for the eye thanks to its astringent, decongesting and refreshing properties hidden in its flowers.
HELICHRYSUM ITALICUM: plant whose leaves and flowers are particularly rich in anti inflammatory and antibacterial substances.
EUPHRASIA OFFICINALIS: it is universally known and used for its refreshing and lenitive properties of the allergic conjunctivitis.
IDROSSIPROPIL-METIL-CELLULOSA (vegetal origin): damping and lubricating action substance which allows a more widespread distribution of the product on all the conjunctiva and a better eyelids movement.
SODIUM JALURONATE (vegetal origin): the property of the jaluronic acid to absorb water and to “trap” it, is an important source for a more lasting re-hydration already reached with the activation of the acquaporins*.
* The Nobel Prize for Molecular Chemistry Peter Agre and Roderick MacKinnon have demonstrated the presence of particular proteins in the cell membranes, divided in two categories: the AQP (or Acquaporins) and the I.C. (or Ion Channels).
