Organic Grape Powder is very high in a naturally occurring compound known as Polyphenols. Which growing evidence suggest helps prevent skin cancer.
Polypodium Leucotomos is a tropical fern found in Central and South America which is traditionally used to treat sunburn, eczema, melasma, psoriasis and many other skin conditions. The high antioxidant content in this plant can help lower inflammation in the body which has been associated with the elevated likely hood of the skin burning quicker in the sun and can also help in preventing damage caused by excessive sun exposure. Polypodium Leucotomos also helps inhibit cellular changes in the skin that can cause premature aging whilst also promoting healthy DNA function associates with UV exposure.
Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is the main component of Green Tea Extract. It helps to improve skin elasticity, moisture and smooth fine lines and skin roughness. It has been shown to prevent wrinkles from forming and rejuvenates skin cells due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Astaxanthin is a red pigment that belongs to a group of chemicals called carotenoids. It occurs in certain algae and is what causes the pink-red colour in salmon. When taken daily, you may notice yourself to build a natural tan, with no sun exposure. This is caused from that red pigment. The high antioxidant content in Astaxanthin can help protect cells from damage and improve the way our immune system functions as well support our eye and cognitive function.
When astaxanthin is consumed it is absorbed into the cell membranes and provides a form of internal sun protection, helping to reduce the damage that occurs when we are exposed to UV rays. Scientific pieces of evidence from human, animal and cellular models all demonstrate that astaxanthin enhances the innate sun protection and reduces the UV damage and skin ageing. In fact, sunscreen companies are finally catching up to the amazing UV protective qualities of Astaxanthin and are now starting to incorporate it into sunscreen creams and lotions.
