Managing the effects of photoageing of skin

Consumer demand for products that claim to reduce the signs and appearance of ageing continues to grow, and a more educated consumer continues to drive the demand for more sophisticated products that offer multifunctional strategies to manage the signs of ageing.

Recentia plant serum fractions represent the next generation of bioactive cosmetic ingredients for products that claim antiageing benefits. Recentia CS is obtained from living Camellia sinensis (tea) plants via patented Zeta Fraction technology. In vitro testing has shown that this potent ingredient provides multiple activities that work together to minimise the signs and appearance of skin ageing by:

•  Inhibiting production of inflammation messengers.
•  Protecting against tissue-damaging enzymes, and
•  Stabilising photo-labile molecules.
