Experience with Viva Maia

Our serum in a long-term test on RTL

"Botox in a Bottle"

A result that surprises dermatologists

In an independent TV feature on RTL, our Regenerating Serum with Tepezcohuite & Nōchtli was put to the test. One participant tested our serum and kept a video diary. The dermatological result: visibly reduced wrinkles and smoother skin!

Notes on the RTL Feature

Our serum combines the regenerative power of Tepezcohuite and bioactive cactus extracts. In the RTL feature, Dr. Buddenbrock mentions that Tepezcohuite comes from South America, but it actually originates specifically from Chiapas, Mexico. There, it is harvested and freshly processed by us into high-quality skincare. These natural plant extracts hydrate, soothe, and promote cell renewal for healthier, firmer, and visibly smoother skin.

Summary available in the video, original here. Please note that this is an independent journalistic report, which is why the label was removed from our bottle.

Deep-rooted connection to skin health

Tepezcohuite

Tepezcohuite, scientifically known as Mimosa Tenuiflora, is a perennial tree native to the tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, particularly in southern Mexico [1]. The name "tepezcohuite" translates to "tree of skin" in
Nahuatl, reflecting its deep-rooted connection to skin health and traditional medicinal uses among indigenous cultures.

A Potent Blend

Powerful Healing Properties

Tepezcohuite’s bark is packed with tannins, lactones, flavonoids, and saponins, offering powerful analgesic, antiseptic, and bacteriostatic properties. It defends the skin against infections, speeds up wound healing, and inhibits hyaluronidase, preserving hyaluronic acid. Its ability to combat wrinkles and acne-causing bacteria makes it an invaluable asset in dermatology.

Research & Results

Scientifically Validated Efficacy

Studies confirm Tepezcohuite’s antimicrobial and healing effects. Research from Paris Sud and the University of Ottawa demonstrated its ability to inhibit harmful bacteria and enhance cellular regeneration in skin wounds.

A Natural Healer with Ancient Roots

Origins and Rediscovery of Tepezcohuite

Tepezcohuite, or the “Skin Tree,” originates from Mexico’s Chiapas region and was revered by the Maya for its regenerative properties. Rediscovered after the 1984 PEMEX explosion and the 1985 earthquake, it showed remarkable effects in healing burns, reducing pain, and regenerating skin, earning global recognition for its healing potential.

From Skin Regeneration to Anti-Aging

Cosmetic and Dermatological Marvel

Tepezcohuite’s regenerative effects shine in cosmetics and dermatology, where it heals skin injuries, reduces inflammation, and combats aging. Its bioflavonoids enhance capillary resistance and fight free radicals, while its sun-protective properties make it a favorite for after-sun care, acne treatments, and rejuvenating formulations.
