By protecting the skin against all types of natural and artificial radiations (UV, visible light, specifically blue light, and infrared rays), Soliberine from Greentech constitutes a real biological innovation
We know that free radicals, largely produced by the effect of light radiation and a cause of skin ageing, are half formed by visible rays, particularly by blue light. These damaging effects have therefore become a major challenge in the fight against ageing caused by heavy use of digital screens.
Made from Buddleja officinalisflowers (the butterfly tree native to Sichuan’s sacred mountains), selected by molecular screening for its significant richness in phenylopropanoids with photoprotective properties, Soliberine is an active ingredientwith ultra-high concentrations of verbascoside and echinacoside, which deliver its biological activities.
The highly promising results already shown by Soliberine, launched in April 2016, have been reinforced by new in vitro tests performed on 3D skin models, and by clinical data.
The new studies show that the ingredient reduces by 43% the production of free radicals in cells exposed to blue light (HEV), protects by 54% the cutaneous barrier against lipid peroxidation caused by UV light, and inhibits by 56% the trans/cis conversion of urocanic acid under UV light at the stratum corneum level.
Soliberine also limits inflammation by inhibiting the synthesis of mediators (leukotrienes and prostaglandins) and by visibly reducing the appearance of erythema following UV exposure.
It inhibits hyperpigmentation caused by UV rays, and the formation of ‘sunburn’ type cells, which are the source of dark spots. Finally, Soliberine prevents damage to the dermal matrix by inactivating MMP1 under UV and infra-red light, and stimulates the production of elastin.
