Introduction to Mitochondria and Skin Aging
Mitochondria are essential parts of our cells that produce energy but also generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can cause damage. This damage is particularly relevant to skin aging, as many studies have linked mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress to the aging process of the skin.
Scientific research highlights the potential of Skin+CELL products to protect skin cells from UV damage by reducing damage to the mitochondrial DNA, which plays a crucial role in energy production and cell health.
In simple terms, if you think of mitochondria as the powerhouses of the cell, protecting them against UV- induced damage means that the cells can maintain their energy and function better, contributing to healthier, more resilient skin.
Prevention of Skin Aging
The research suggests that protecting mitochondrial DNA from UV damage could be an important strategy to delay skin aging since mitochondrial damage is linked to the natural aging process and photoaging (aging due to sun exposure).
Using Skin+CELL products boost mitochondrial resilience which help to reduce signs of aging, such as wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and skin dullness, by maintaining cellular energy levels and reducing the accumulation of damage over time.
Application in Daily Skincare Routines
Applying Skin+CELL products in daily skin care routines where the skin is not currently under stress (for example, at night) can prepare the cells to better withstand future UV exposure and cellular stress during the day.
Our products focus on protecting mitochondrial health which offer additional benefits, like enhanced cell repair and regeneration, vital for maintaining youthful skin.
They not only moisturise and protect the skin superficially but also work at the cellular level to boost overall skin vitality.
Skin+CELL products have been scientifically tested to reduce cellular damage making them a valuable addition to an anti-aging skincare regimen.
Overall Skin Health and Protective Benefit
By reducing the impact of oxidative stress and protecting mitochondrial function, Skin+CELL products not only help in preventing premature skin aging but also in maintaining a brighter and healthier skin appearance over time.
Incorporating these products as part of a comprehensive skincare routine, along with sun protection measures, can yield improved, long-term skin health benefits.
Skin+CELL's Patented I/O Technology
Skin+CELL's Patented I/O (Inside/Out) Technology is based upon a new understanding of the residual phase.
The ‘residual phase’ is what is left on the skin after the volatile components in products evaporate off and is critical in creating the energetic conditions for molecules to be able to penetrate the skin.
Through our formulation and delivery technology and by applying I/O we are able to bring vitamins and other key ingredients into the skin.
This helps new skin cells formed in the dermis to remain healthy and free of DNA damage.
Bioactive Vitamins
Our formulations contain vitamins such as B3 (nicotinamide or niacinamide).
Other products also contain niacinamide, but independent tests showed these other leading brand products containing Vitamin B3 were not able to bring this through the skin’s natural barrier.
Bringing vitamins and ingredients into the skin is critical for improving skin barrier function, providing anti-inflammatory properties, reducing hyper-skin pigmentation, skin anti-aging, reducing photo-induced (UV) skin damage and improving skin elasticity and firmness.
