| Résumé : |
In our urbanised and industrialised environments, we are exposed to increasingly abundant environmental pollutants. Heavy metals, PAHs and aldehydes is just wshort list of toxic compounds surrounding us, having detrimental effects in our skin and body, causing respiratory diseases, headaches, asthma and skin rashes, which are just a few health aspects to mention. High Energy Visible (HEV) light including blue light is another type of 'pollution' affecting among others our skin. Our appearance is the first to be affected, with early signs of ageing, wrinkles, pigmentation spots, disrupted barrier, overall dryness and skin imperfections all associated with polluted environments.
IBR-UrBioTect, an extract of Inula helenium, may help repair and reverse the effects of pollution, according to results of a clinical study in a smoking environment (cigarette smoke). In this study, reduction of early signs of ageing in a smoking environment has been achieved using a formula containing 1% IBR-UrBioTect. The extract has also been shown to chelate and neutralise pollutants such as heavy metals which cause accumulated damage to the skin, as efficiently protect skin cells from HEV induced ROS production. We propose here a natural and innovative solution to relieve and repair the effects of pollution on the skin and the appearance of early signs of aging in a polluted environment, promoting a lighter skin tone as well as reducing wrinkle count, and improving skin elasticity and barrier function. |
