POLLUPROTECT

Excess exposure to environmental pollutants and particulate matters in the air can overpower our skin’s defence mechanisms, resulting in damage to proteins and DNA in our skin. This can result in acceleration of the ageing process, resulting in premature signs of ageing such as dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. At the same time, skin becomes drier and duller, less radiant, and more reactive to external aggressors. That’s where PolluProtect comes in. PolluProtect is developed by way of a type of biotechnology known as bacterial fermentation, and is a natural, vegetal-origin polymer that forms a “second-skin” protective film on the skin’s surface. The film is breathable and transparent and provides a natural shield from the surrounding environment, by notably protecting against the accumulation of carbon particles and other forms of particulate matter on the surface of the skin.

Antioxidants from Lingonberry fruit and leaf

Native to Sweden, the mighty lingonberry is renowned for its powerful antioxidant properties. In fact, lingonberries have been shown to have greater anti-free radical activity when compared to other European cranberries. When scientists at Oriflame investigated the activity of the extract on skin cells, they also discovered the hidden super-antioxidant power hiding in the leaf of the Lingonberry. That’s what led to the development of our Oriflame-exclusive, patented lingonberry extract based on a 50:50 combination of berries and leaves. By doing this we managed to create a powerful combination that successfully works to protect the skin against oxidative stress caused by environmental aggressors.

Amino-mineral complex from algae

Our Amino-Mineral Complex from algae is made from the extraction of a purified polysaccharide from brown algae, combined with amino acids from a freshwater green microalga called Chlorella vulgaris, as well as seawater minerals. This complex works to effectively hold water like a sponge saturated with water, minerals and amino acids. The “saturated sponge” acts on the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin), enabling water to be bound to the various layers of the epidermis, whilst providing a gradual release of amino acids and minerals into the stratum corneum over time, as a means of complementing the skin’s own Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF). This helps to keep skin supple and hydrated.

Citric acid from Gooseberry

Apart from being a delicious Scandinavian summer treat, the gooseberry is a natural source of citric acid (which is an alpha hydroxy acid, or AHA). Alpha hydroxy acids, such as in citric acid help to increase skin cell turnover. An increase in skin cell turnover means that dull, dead skin cells at the surface are more quickly replaced by fresh, new skin cells, which results in radiant, healthy, glowing skin.
