WHAT IS AENEA ANTI-POLLUTION GUARDIAN? Sooner or later in skincare, everything comes back to genes & how we can protect the integrity of the DNA in our skin cells. Subjected to almost constant UV radiation from sunlight, as well as the onslaught of invisible external pollutants, our skin’s DNA is all too easily damaged, leading to the formation of wrinkles, an overall loss of firmness & elasticity & the loss of epidermal quality. AENEA’S Anti-Pollution Guardian is designed to support the keratinocytes & epidermal stem cells in order to maintain a healthy genome. Strengthening our DNA repair mechanisms, it increases the skin’s tolerance to UV light & pollution. This is key to your skincare regime because if the DNA in our skin cells isn’t supported, the signalling from one cell to another can be altered, & the keratinocytes can die & lose functionality, leading to the occurrence of the key characteristics of skin ageing. HOW IT WORKS Even while being attacked on all fronts – by UV radiation & other environmental aggressors – the miracle of our skin is that with the right support based on the science of epigenetics, the DNA can repair & maintain genomic stability. Phytosan K, derived from organic soy beans, is the key active ingredient in AENEA Anti-Pollution Guardian & has the ability to stimulate the natural defence system of the skin as well as provide biological protection against UV. Raising the skin’s own tolerance to UV light, it’s the perfect protector for today’s climate extremes & helps counteract premature skin ageing. Packed with proteins, it has been shown in tests to help prevent skin inflammation after sun exposure & to support even mature skins to renew themselves after being exposed to stress, lack of sleep or air-conditioning, resulting in a smoother, more elastic skin texture. With additional anti-pollution back up from the active ingredient Ormesia, which is derived from the Peruvian Maracuja seeds, (also known as the passion flower) & is known for its ability to activate the skin’s own pollution-defence mechanisms, this is a highly efficient skin strengthener & protector.
