Details
Properties
Antioxidant: Combatting the formation of free radicals caused by UVA rays that can damage key dermal components involved in maintaining skin structure, skin cells, or induce lesions on DNA or even the release of mediators of epidermal inflammation;
Anti-redness, brightening: Reviving the complexion's radiance, evening out and illuminating the skin tone by preserving the blood microcirculation through inhibiting the release of nitric oxide at the endothelial cells level, a liposoluble gas that triggers a chemical reaction causing the relaxation of blood vessels (vasodilation);
Protective: Enhancing natural protection against the assault of light radiation (UV and visible light);
Firming: Preserving the firmness, suppleness, and elasticity of the skin by maintaining the level of major components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) such as proteoglycans (hyaluronic acid), collagens, and elastins;
Applications
Facial Care(creams, balms, lotions, milks, serums, mists, oils);
Makeups (foundations, complexion correctors).
