In our increasingly digital and urban world, the skin is exposed to harmful influences more than ever. Two of the biggest challenges are the radiation from screens, known as blue light, and the growing pollution in cities. Both factors contribute to skin stress and accelerate the aging process.
Blue Light: An Invisible Threat from Screens
More and more people spend significant time in front of screens, raising awareness about the harmful effects of blue light (High-Energy Visible Light, HEV) on the skin. Blue light penetrates deep into the skin and causes oxidative stress, leading to cell damage and premature skin aging. This manifests as hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and a dull complexion.
Pollution: An Invisible Danger to the Skin
In urban areas, the skin is constantly exposed to pollutants floating in the air. These microscopic particles penetrate deep into the skin, promoting oxidative stress and damaging the skin barrier. The result is premature skin aging, inflammation, and a loss of elasticity.
How Cosmetics Can Help
To protect the skin from these modern stress factors, specific ingredients in cosmetics play a crucial role. They act as antioxidants, strengthen the skin barrier, and help prevent damage caused by blue light and pollution. Two of our standout active ingredients that optimally support these functions are Carnosine and Ectoin.
-
Carnosine: This ingredient is a powerful antioxidant that protects against the harmful effects of blue light and pollution. Carnosine stimulates collagen production, shields the skin from oxidative stress, and prevents glycation—a process that leads to wrinkles and skin aging. It also helps protect the skin from infrared radiation and visible light, preserving skin firmness and elasticity.
-
Ectoin: Ectoin is a natural cell-protecting ingredient known as an "extremolyte." These molecules protect microorganisms in extreme environments, such as deserts and salt lakes, and are used in cosmetics to safeguard the skin from environmental stress. Ectoin forms a protective water layer around skin cells, shielding them from pollution, UVA/UVB radiation, and blue light. Studies have shown that Ectoin strengthens the skin barrier, reduces inflammation, and protects against environmentally-induced skin aging. It prevents the formation of free radicals and protects cells from damage before it occurs.
Innovative Anti-Pollution Products for Complete Skin Protection
To meet the demands of today’s fast-paced, urban environment, we have developed a range of anti-pollution products that combine advanced ingredients like Carnosine and Ectoin with powerful, modern formulations:
