Blue Light SPF25 Facial Cream

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

ALGAE BLUE LIGHT -DNAFIX: Active ingredient extracted from microalgae (cyanobacteria), whose ancestral enzymes are activated by visible (blue) light and can repair the structure of cells’ DNA, reconnecting all its mechanisms. These microalgae also contain an antioxidant substance called Phycocyanine, which prevents the digital aging by protecting the cells against blue light damage and oxidative stress. The visible effects on the skin when used daily and continuously are an increase in luminosity and firmness, a fast correction of the stains caused by photoaging and a reduction in the depth of wrinkles.

ENCAPSULATED UV FILTERS: Composed of three UV filters approved worldwide, this combination is created through a double-layered sphere enwrapping technique that has been developed with the special purpose of stabilizing the chemical sunscreens and ensuring a high performance of the final product, as well as prolonged and consistent SPF values. Filter encapsulation reduces the chances of sensitization or skin reactions caused by the active filters and allows the skin to breathe with a refreshing sensation.

GLYCERIN: Active moisturizer and humectant from 100% plant-based sources.

KAOLIN: It is a fine-grained white natural mineral clay with absorbent properties that nourishes dry and/or delicate skins when applied externally. It renews the cells by micro-exfoliating the skin and re-mineralizing the epidermis. It is among the softest clays for the skin, so it is perfectly tolerated by the most sensitive or intolerant skins. Kaolin is very appreciated in the treatment of irritated skins due to its healing and antiseptic properties.

HYALURONIC ACID: Biological polysaccharide (glycosaminoglycan) distributed in the extracellular matrix of most tissues. It provides a hydrated medium among cells and protects them against abrasion and friction due to its extraordinary hydrophilic properties. That explains the power of its anti-wrinkle, free-radical scavenging anti-aging effect. Hyaluronic acid is produced through a biotechnological process of bacterial fermentation in which it is extracted, purified, precipitated and dried in order to extend its life-span in the tissue. It has the ability to retain thousands of times its weight in water. It is used to hydrate the epidermis since it reconstitutes the fibers that hold the skin tissues. It also stimulates the production of collagen, which multiplies and prolongs the rejuvenating effects. It does not only stand out for its extraordinary filling effect on skin marks or any other area, but it is also used in the treatment of severe acne scarring and other dermal problems.

SHEA BUTTER: Its pure form is used as a massage balm due to its excellent lubricant properties. It is also a common component in sunscreen products since it is rich in saturated carbides which can extend the protection spectrum at lower wavelengths. It has high content of linoleic acid, an unsaturated fatty acid that favors the restoration of the stratum corneum’s barrier function when applied topically.

TENS-UP: It is a new approach to immediate lifting effect active ingredients, bringing surface tightening and anti-aging action together through a collagen synthesis that fills in wrinkles (in a similar way to retinol’s anti-aging activity). It’s a novel galactomannan tridimensional hydrocolloid matrix which sequentially releases oligosaccharides obtained from the chicory root (Cichorium intybus L.). This tridimensional mesh is absorbed on the skin surface, forming a continuous film that enables the immediate and prolonged lifting effect through the release and consequent absorption of oligosaccharides. The immediate lifting or tightening cosmetic property on skin surface is exerted by macromolecules such as collagen, chitosan, keratin, hyaluronic acid, polymers, and others. The mechanism of action of these molecules is the exertion of enough mechanical tension on the skin as to smooth its surface and instantly provide a soft and radiant appearance. These macromolecules form a superficial film that smoothens skin, erases wrinkles and expression lines, and provides a more radiant and brighter appearance. The extension of this tightening effect depends solely on the film. Its dual action enables the development of “flash” products with anti-aging properties. The application of TENS-UP visually improves skin appearance and visibly attenuates wrinkles around the eyes.

VITAMIN E: Biological antioxidant. Protects cell membranes and red corpuscles. Preserves vitamin A and essential fatty acids from oxidation. Interacts with free radicals. Due to its fat-soluble nature, it accumulates in the membrane phospholipids and acts in the hydrophobic phase.
