What happens in the skin?

1

From age 25-30, our natural production of collagen and antioxidant defenses declines.

  • Free radicals activate pro-inflammatory pathways and "awaken" metalloproteinases, enzymes that destroy collagen and elastin (which give our skin firmness and elasticity). 
  • This activates enzymes that eliminate our supporting tissue, leading to sagging, fine wrinkles, dehydration, or a dull appearance.

2

Free radicals also damage lipids and structures that help maintain skin hydration.

As a consequence, the skin loses water more easily, becomes more sensitive, and its ability to defend itself against external aggressions such as pollution or environmental irritants diminishes.

3

While this is happening on the outside, it's also happening on the inside.

UV radiation, pollution, stress, lack of sleep, or a diet low in antioxidants increase the production of free radicals.

Over time, this excess oxidation promotes a state of low-grade chronic inflammation (inflammaging), associated with a greater loss of skin firmness, elasticity, and radiance.

How to care for your skin from the inside out?

Antioxidant-rich and protein-packed nutrition

The consumption of carotenoids, polyphenols, and vitamins can help reduce oxidative and inflammatory stress. Prioritize foods such as: broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, berries, cherries, red bell peppers, watermelon, sweet potatoes, red potatoes, extra virgin olive oil, avocados, pure cocoa, or beverages like tea.

Protein intake provides the amino acids necessary to form collagen and elastin, key proteins for maintaining skin structure, elasticity, and firmness.

Anti-OX Global: your antioxidant shield

Combines micronutrients with antioxidant properties: AstaBead® astaxanthin, tomato lycopene, Lutemax® lutein, NordicCherry® sour cherry extract (rich in proanthocyanidin polyphenols and anthocyanins), and coenzyme Q10.

 State-of-the-art ingredients that act as cellular protectors and reduce skin inflammation thanks to their free radical-neutralizing effect against damaging ultraviolet radiation.

Key Ingredients

Coenzyme Q10

An antioxidant naturally present in our skin that helps neutralize free radicals generated by UV radiation and other environmental factors.

Furthermore, it plays a key role within the body's natural antioxidant network by helping to regenerate vitamin E once it has neutralized free radicals. This is especially relevant because vitamin E is one of the skin's primary antioxidant defenses against oxidative damage induced by sun exposure.

Thanks to this dual action, acting directly as an antioxidant and helping to keep vitamin E active, coenzyme Q10 contributes to strengthening the skin's natural protective mechanisms against photoaging.
Tomato Lycopene

Its characteristic chemical structure, formed by an extensive network of conjugated double bonds, gives it an extraordinary capacity to neutralize reactive oxygen species generated by solar radiation. In fact, it is considered one of the most effective carotenoids against oxidative stress induced by UV exposure.

Various studies have shown that adequate lycopene intake can help reduce some of the biological effects associated with sun exposure, such as oxidative damage, the activation of inflammatory processes, and the degradation of structural components of the skin, such as collagen.
Astaxanthin AstaBead®

Scientific evidence has linked astaxanthin to benefits for skin elasticity, hydration, protection against oxidative stress induced by UV radiation, and the maintenance of healthier-looking skin.
NordicCherry® Sour Cherry Extract

NordicCherry® is a whole-fruit tart cherry extract that provides an extraordinarily rich combination of bioactive compounds, including anthocyanins, flavanols, and procyanidins.

These compounds help modulate the inflammatory and oxidative processes that are activated after sun exposure, stress, lack of sleep, or an antioxidant-deficient diet.
Lutein Lutemax® 2020

La radiación solar no solo afecta a la piel. Nuestros ojos también están expuestos diariamente a la luz ultravioleta y a la luz azul procedente tanto del sol como de los dispositivos electrónicos.

Lutemax® 2020 aporta luteína, RR-zeaxantina y meso-zeaxantina en la misma proporción en la que se encuentran de forma natural en la mácula ocular, una región clave para la visión. 

Estas moléculas actúan como auténticos filtros biológicos capaces de absorber parte de la luz de alta energía y ayudar a proteger frente al daño oxidativo asociado a la exposición lumínica. Pero su interés no termina en la salud ocular. Diversas investigaciones han mostrado que la luteína y la zeaxantina también pueden acumularse en la piel, donde contribuyen a mejorar sus defensas antioxidantes y a protegerla frente a algunos de los efectos derivados de la exposición solar y la luz visible de alta energía.

 What are the benefits of oral protection?

  • Helps neutralize free radicals.
  • Contributes to reducing oxidative stress.
  • Reduces inflammation induced by sun exposure.
  • Supports natural cellular repair mechanisms.
  • Helps preserve collagen and elastin.
  • Contributes to maintaining a more resilient skin barrier.

Who can benefit from oral photoprotection?

All individuals exposed to the sun, and especially:

  • Individuals with melasma or a tendency for dark spots.
  • Individuals with rosacea, psoriasis, or skin prone to atopic dermatitis.
  • Acne with a tendency for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
  • Individuals with signs of photoaging or those seeking to prevent it.
  • Athletes.
  • Individuals who work outdoors.
