Microalgae Solutions describes the richness and diversity of marine saccharides obtained by a novel patented blue biotechnology
Skin is an extraordinary self-organized organ capable of maintain the body homeostasis thanks of a plethora mechanism of defenses face to intrinsic ageing, considered as a natural process; or premature ageing due to extrinsic factors such as xenobiotic substances from pollution or overexposure to UV radiation
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) damage cellular components, leading to decreases skin antioxidant defences and ultimately to cellular ageing.1 Exacerbated ROS production induces transcription factors that trigger the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and prevents the expression of procollagen I.2
Natural cosmetic active ingredients provide antioxidant and procollagen precursor molecules that help the skin to restore its balance by boosting its natural defences. This reduces the impact of external and internal factors that affect the cumulative changes of skin ageing, such as the deterioration of skin structure, skin barrier function and, consequently, the modification of the external appearance of the skin (wrinkles, thinning and unevenness of the skin).
