Indena has recently launched Quercevita, a novel Phytosome formulation of quercetin with sunflower lipids. It has been clinically tested in vitro and in vivo and validated for its soothing properties on various skin challenges
Recently, in a single blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial Quercevita was tested on 30 volunteers exposed to multiple adverse skin conditions. Quercevita was effective in reducing all skin reactions showing improvement of skin hydration and giving faster relief.
Furthermore, the antioxidant power of Quercevita was confirmed not only on the ingredient itself and in cosmetic formulations, but also through its capacity to enhance the skin’s own antioxidative defence system. Additionally, it has been compared to a positive benchmark such as tocopherol at twice the concentration showing a great improvement of the skin antioxidant power (+125%).
