Greentech has launched a new global photoprotective active: Soliberine, offering new biological protection against light radiation.
Soliberine is developed from Buddleja officinalis flowers, or butterflybush, which comes from the Chinese province of Sichuan.
Selected for its exceptional richness in phenylpropanoids, the purified fraction of flowers is highly concentrated in verbascoside and echinacoside, true UV and IR shields. R&D laboratories at Greentech have isolated its quintessence via a high tech process to develop a potent skin defence system.
Soliberine acts against all damage induced by solar rays, thanks to a dual power of protection and stimulation.
Soliberine absorbs the main part of UVA and UVB radiation, harmful to skin cells. Thus, the active inhibits transformation trans/cis of the urocanic acid and therefore its deleterious effects, particularly the excessive production of ROS generating important oxidative stress. In vitro tests reveal a 50% decrease in this transformation (from 0.7% of the active).
It also stimulates cellular detoxification mechanisms, endogenous systems of skin defence. Therefore, the active reduces the production of free radicals induced by various stress and inhibits the synthesis of inflammatory mediators (such as leukotrienes).
Preserving the physiological functions of the skin against stress induced by light rays, Soliberine maintains its youth, quality and radiance.
