HerbaProtect® NOX – The Night-Time Sun Care Active

The main approach to protect against sun-induced skin damage is stepping out of the sun. However, new discoveries indicate that the skin stress mediated by sunlight continues for hours after the skin has been exposed to UV irradiation; it continues even at night-time.

HerbaProtect® NOX is a COSMOS- and NATRUE-approved innovative sun care and anti-aging active that acts on reactive oxygen and nitrogen species as well as on peroxynitrite, which is the main driver of delayed sun-induced skin damage. In vitro and in vivo testing clearly demonstrated an immediate and long-term improvement of the skin’s antioxidative capacity. An increased defence status of the skin against sun-induced oxidative stress eventually reduces skin damage and premature aging.

Taken together, HerbaProtect® NOX is a perfect addition for sun care, after-sun or anti-aging formulations that aim at protecting the skin against delayed sun-induced skin stress mediated by UV radiation, visible light or even infrared radiation.
