Heat Protection

Face

Preserves the skin’s ability to stay hydrated and protected when exposed to intense heat.

When it’s hot out, body temperature rises, resulting in serious dehydration. To protect itself against this, our body has developed a natural response, synthesising special proteins known as “heat shock proteins”. HSPs are “chaperone” proteins that protect proteins or eliminate cells that have been irreversibly damaged. However, the body requires a significant amount of energy to produce HSPs, which becomes problematic if heat exposure is prolonged : the body’s limits are exceeded and, exhausted, it is no longer capable of fighting off stress-induced damage.
As a result, when summer is on its way or an extended trip to a tropical region planned, it’s a good idea to prepare your skin to take on the climatic stress it will encounter. To prevent the metabolism from reaching a state of exhaustion and resulting damage from appearing on the skin, the body’s natural base level of HSPs should be increased in advance, and their synthesis under stressful conditions intensified. Once you’ve done this, you’ll be ready to take the heat!

[Et]+EXTREMOPHILIC PROTECTIVE ENZYME
PATENTED ACTIVE

ORIGINS

Biotechnological ferment containing multifunctional and stable enzymes from the Guaymas Basin in the Gulf of California. These thermophilic enzymes live on the sea floor at a depth of over 2000 meters.

EFFICIENCY

In-Vitro :
> Inhibition of free radical formation (-28%) and the propagation of oxidative stress induced by infrared radiation (more than 50% of solar energy reaching the skin)
> Increase of 123% of the mitochondrial water content, to better stimulate metabolic activity
> Significant decreases in inflammatory mediators after infrared aggression (-53% for example for Interleukin 6, and -61% for type 8)
> Protection of dermal fibers against infrared radiation: +70% of collagen on treated vs untreated sample after irradiation; +28% of elastin constituents on treated vs untreated sample after irradiation

In-Vivo :
> Saves 5.2 years of age in 6 months of use (evaluation based on the following aging criteria: pigment spots, wrinkles and blemishes)
> Limitation of insensible water loss in extreme environments
> Improvement of epidermal integrity by strengthening the cohesion of the stratum corneum
> 11.2% reduction in the surface area of pigmented spots
> 36% reduction in the number of wrinkles
