From domestic, atmospheric and UV sources, pollution is everywhere: outside and inside the home, even in kitchens, invisible, sneaky and ready to attack skin and hair! For a long time, considered as simple dirt or dust, easy to remove by just cleansing, it has become the #1 public enemy endangering beauty & health.
Pollutants are multiple: UV and related ROS, heavy metals from industrial activities and exhaust gas, chemicals, carbon particles and recently particle matters 2.5 that are strongly highlighted due to their dangerous effects on beauty and health. Some scientific publications already described the PM2.5 combination with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) to target keratinocytes and melanocytes receptors and trigger the development of dark spots.
As a consequence, pollution is now more than ever considered aa huge accelerator of premature ageing. In addition to the use of anti-free radical, antioxidant, detoxifying, restructuring & natural self-defence agents, it is strongly recommended to add a non-occlusive skin shield for an immediate benefit.
Glycofilm and its new preservative-free version Pollustop, from Solabia, are high molecular weight & branched polysaccharides (biosaccharide gum-4), China compliant, obtained from a non-GMO biofermentation process considered a Green Chemistry and nature-friendly.
Acting against UV damages, decreasing the formation of related sunburn cells, reducing the toxicity of cadmium chloride and chemicals, Glycofilm/Pollustop recently displayed unique results against the particle matters 2.5 damages, and on heavy metals, in urban life conditions.
