INFORMATION ABOUT THE LINE

Preservative-free hygiene products. High content of ingredients of natural origin.

Food for skin and hair: the use of polyphenols as natural preservatives in the world of cosmetics is a truly innovative terrain. That’s why we tell you a little more about these active nutrients that are so beneficial to your skin.

What they are: Polyphenols come from plants and have been shown to possess a high antioxidant and free radical removal capacity. What does this mean? For they act naturally protecting our skin from those external aggressions to which it is exposed every day, avoiding skin problems, bringing luminosity to your skin and correcting the visible signs of aging, among many other benefits.

What benefits they bring to your skin:

Antioxidant action: protects your skin and keeps it healthy and balanced.
Free antiradicals: prevent premature skin aging.
Natural preservative: extends the life of the products and keeps them in perfect condition.
Skin microbiota protector: your skin double protected, physical and immune barrier.
Active skin nutrients: regenerated and elastic skin.

Polyphenols and cosmetics: as you can see, the benefits that polyphenols can bring in different fields are many. That’s why phenolic compounds have attracted decades of attention as potential agents to prevent and treat many diseases related to oxidative stress, such as cariovascular diseases, cancer, aging, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. In the world of cosmetics, its positive potential has recently been evaluated as natural preservatives and prebiotics. Its use extends the life of the product and helps to preserve its qualities intact. In this way, cosmetic products perfectly maintain their quality and effectiveness, giving your skin what it needs and reducing skin infections and irritations.

Preservatives in cosmetics: preservatives, which can be found in many cosmetic products, are ingredients capable of preventing or reducing microbial growth in a product, keeping it in good condition. If a cosmetic product is contaminated with any bacteria, we will no longer be able to use it. Therefore, and although not all cosmetic products need them, it is important to use preservatives to avoid such microbial contamination and that the product continues to bring the benefits that your skin needs. It is important that there are a variety of preservatives, as many of them have sensitizing power and, although their use must be safe under normal conditions, they could be overexposed by their continued use. Pro that, it is interesting to research other ingredients that act as a preservative in products, such as natural polyphenols.

I’m sure you now understand better the importance of polyphenols being natural preservatives.

Polyphenols as active nutrients for the skin, preservatives and natural prebiotics.

Polyphenols come from plants and have been shown to possess a high antioxidant capacity and free radical elimination through mechanisms of inhibition of enzymes responsible for their production and reduction of highly oxidized species already generated. For this reason, phenolic compounds have attracted for decades attention as potential agents to prevent and treat many diseases related to oxidative stress (i.e., cardiovascular disease, cancer, aging, diabetes mellitus and neurodegenerative diseases), recently its positive potential has been evaluated as natural preservatives and prebiotics.

Polyphenols

Genuine cocktail of biological activities for the skin:
– Antioxidant activity: Promotes the elimination of free radicals, inhibition of lipid oxidation, etc.
– Anti-carcinogenic activity: Many polyphenols have been tested, such as proanthocyanidins, flavonoids, resveratrol, tannins, etc., all with proven protective effects.
– Anti-inflammatory activity: In recent years, modern methods in cellular and molecular biology have allowed to understand the interactions that take place between a wide variety of polyphenols and the basic mechanisms of excessive inflammatory response, critical factor in many diseases, such as obesity, type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative and aging.
– Anti-microbial, antifungal and anti-viral activity: Natural preservative.
– Anti-aging: The logical application of cosmetics with polyphenols as an active helps the skin’s own antioxidant system to fight oxidative stress, protecting it against long-term photoaging.
– Anti-collagenase and anti-elastase: Polyphenols catalyze the breakdown of skin proteins, such as collagen and elastin. Collagen in the dermis is responsible for its firmness, while elastin fibers give it elasticity.

GENUINE COCKTAIL OF “PREBIOTICS” OF INTEREST TO THE SKIN MICROBIOTA

The skin is the body’s first line of defense against toxic and pathogenic substances, with an arsenal of millions of bacteria, fungi and viruses that make up its microbiome.

These microorganisms that reside in it place it in an optimal interface to educate the immune system to tolerate resident microorganisms and be able to respond effectively against pathogens. In addition, the skin microbiome contains numerous benefits to the host, including resistance to pathogen colonization, maintaining the skin barrier, and modulating the inflammatory response. In special circumstances where the balance between diners and pathogens is altered, skin diseases or even systemic diseases may occur.

Polyphenols due to their “Prebiotic” effect can inhibit/increase the growth of specific bacteria in the microbial composition of the skin.
