64 SUN PROTECTION
Healthy tan support Indena’s botanical actives for supporting a healthy tan are natural actives aiming at improving the natural skin structure, tone and skin moisture content. Their safety and efficacy profiles are supported by scientific literature, as well as by specific trials validating the proposed activity on the skin. Opextan is a patented olive fruit extract, for beauty supplements and cosmetics, obtained from a selected variety of Italian olives, a single cultivar of Olea europea. Its antioxidant properties derive from its unique polyphenolic profile, containing verbacoside and hydroxytyrosol as major phenolics, as verbacoside is a strong free radical scavenger molecule present in the olive pulp, used topically to protect skin from a variety of oxidative attacks. Clinically it was validated to reduce the skin reactivity to UV damage (MED reduction). Meriva (antioxidant and anti- inflammatory): is a new formulation between a highly purified Curcuma longa (turmeric) extract and soy lecithin (Phytosome). Curcumin, in Meriva’s most bioavailable form, is suitable for topical use, where it has demonstrated in vitro to protect from UV damage and to reduce the number of sun burned cells following to UV stimulus thanks to its antioxidant and anti- inflammatory activity.
Silymarin is a flavanolignans complex of silybin, silydianin and silycristin extracted from Silybum marianum fruits. Flavanolignans composing this ingredient are endowed with free radical scavenging and UV protective properties. The patented Silimarin Phytosome formulation demonstrated to be effective in anti-ageing and UV protection. Siliphos (silybin from milk thistle in the Phytosome delivery form) is an innovative cosmetic ingredient able to exert retinoic- acid-like activity, ensuring at the same time a higher level of safety and skin compatibility. Various clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of this extract as an anti-wrinkle and anti-sagging ingredient. This ingredient has shown the capacity to increase the level of melanin content and tyrosinase activity.
Bosexil it is an anti-inflammatory active
ingredient derived from Boswellia serrata. Its patented formulation provides a lenitive and soothing effect on skin challenged by excessive sun exposure. It is also effective in restructuring the skin, reducing the damage induced by photo-ageing. 18 Beta Glycyhrretinic Acid, is obtained
from the licorice root (Glycyhrriza glabra). It is structurally similar to cortisol and potentiates its anti-inflammatory activity by competing for cortisol metabolism. 18β- glycyrrhetinic acid is suitable for soothing and healing formulations, both as free acid and in the most bioavailable Phytosome form.
PERSONAL CARE EUROPE
Centella asiatica. Grape seed extracts
Indena has developed a range of grape seed extracts, with different chemical characterisation, effective in supporting a healthy tan.
Leucoselect and Leucoselect Phytosome
are suitable both for topical and oral application. The first is enriched in lower procyanidin oligimers (OPCs), the only bioavailable procyanidins, and is one of the best-investigated grape seed extracts worldwide. It resulted effective in scavenging free radicals, while the second ingredient is for anti-ageing, UV protection and anti-erythema indications. Enovita (Indena’s proprietary
proanthocyanidin (OPCs) rich extract) too is effective in supporting a healthy tan, thanks to its efficacy as free radical scavenger in skin being a natural antioxidant and capillarotropic, made exclusively with grape seeds from white wine production.
SPF boosters There are several plant extracts able to boost sun protection and keep our skin safe while exposed to the sun. While they are no substitutes for natural or synthetic UV filters, they can certainly boost the SPF contained in the sun care products. Among the extracts developed by Indena, some have clinically demonstrated to be effective also in this field. In addition to Silymarin Phytosome and Enovita, a further extract demonstrated to have stunning properties in this field. Vitachelox is a three-product blend of optimised botanical compounds protecting the skin from the potential harmful effects of the pollutants. The mixture is made of green tea extract, grape seed extract, and oak wood extract. Being rich in polyphenols, these have been found to be very active in chelating heavy metals and reducing the toxicity of the various cell compartments and show a strong
antioxidant and antiradical activity with a patented synergistic effect.
Soothing Soothing products, also defined as calming, emollient and lenitive, are specifically formulated to obtain a calming, assuaging or relieving effect, especially when the skin needs a rapid recovery from a discomfort of various origin, or deriving from an over- exposition to the sun. In addition to Indena’s Boswellia serrata ingredient mentioned earlier (clinically demonstrated to counteract photoageing and to exert some lenitive and soothing effects on physical damage of the skin), Indena provides some further botanical extracts with amazing profiles, clinically proven. Quercevita is a patented innovative delivery form of quercetin that has demonstrated its clinical efficacy as antioxidant, free radical scavenger, soothing and anti-irritant, also thanks to its ability to modulate skin allergic-like challenges. It also has clinically shown to be beneficial in short- term soothing skin challenges of various origin, thus qualifying as a skin ‘first aid’ relief. Zanthalene is a lipophilic extract from the Chinese plant Zanthoxylum bungeanum. Its mechanism of action is related to the neuro- muscular junction as well as chemestetic receptors for tingling sensations. It has been clinically shown to reduce discomfort during hair dyeing or modulate the itching sensations of mosquito bites or itchy skin. Omegablue is a Vaccinium myrtillus seed oil, containing similar amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids from the omega- 6 and omega-3 series, combining the structural properties of omega-6 fatty acids with the inflammation modulating activity of those from the omega-3 series. It has been clinically shown to be endowed as anti- irritant, lenitive, with restructuring properties on challenged skin, improving skin hydration
