Properties
Anti-inflammatory: Reducing the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines by inhibiting the synthesis of NF-kB signalling pathway activity, thereby reducing skin irritations;
Antioxidant: Preserving cellular structures from oxidative stress by intercepting the free radicals generated, in addition to preventing the peroxidation of phospholipids and lipids of the skin's cellular membrane, thanks to its ability to bind within cellular and mitochondrial membranes;
Protector: Creating a shield around skin cells to limit the impact of free radicals, thanks to its ability to cross physiological membranes due to its unique biochemical structure;
Firming: Increasing the level of TIMP-1 inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases, allowing the skin to maintain its elasticity and firmness;
SPF Booster: Enhancing the level of protection of sunscreens, without however having the ability to replace UV filters.
