The constant exposure to air pollutants is a major threat for skin health. The contaminants affect the skin on several levels, such as the stimulation of inflammatory pathways, the induction of oxidative stress and the acceleration of skin aging. This fact constitutes the consumer’s desires for multi-functional ingredients that fight pollution-induced skin damage and aging.
With HerbaShield® URB we developed a COSMOS- and NATRUE-approved multi-component active ingredient based on extracts from watercress, nettle and horsetail, as well as on natural phospholipids. HerbaShield® URB targets three mechanisms to naturally reduce pollution-induced skin damage and accelerated aging: (i) strengthening of the skin barrier through hydrogenated lecithin; (ii) enhancing the endogenous detoxification machinery by active ingredients of the plant extracts; and (iii) additional cell protection due to high antioxidative capacity.
HerbaShield® URB was designed to implement the consumer’s concerns about pollution, and is perfectly suitable for detoxifying, protecting and anti-aging skin care solutions.
