A natural shield against modern pollution

KLK Oleo investigates the protective effects of DavosLife E3 Tocotrienols against blue light exposure in murine melanoma B16-F1 cells.

In today’s digital age, skin exposure to modern pollution has increased due to both artificial light from digital devices and air pollution from industrial and urban activities.

Blue light, a high-energy visible (HEV) light emitted from screens and artificial lighting, is a major component of light pollution.1 Prolonged exposure to blue light induces oxidative stress in skin cells, leading to photoageing, hyperpigmentation, inflammation, and a weakened skin barrier.2,3

Additionally, 92% of the world's population resides in areas where air pollution exceeds WHO's recommended limits. Airborne pollutants generate oxidative stress, compromise the skin barrier, and aggravate conditions such as atopic dermatitis. Furthermore, they activate matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), accelerating skin ageing and reducing elasticity.4
