Anti-pollution Agents

Appearing as fine powders, clear serums, or microcapsules, anti-pollution agents shield skin from environmental stressors like UV, blue light, and urban pollutants. They act as antioxidants and barrier enhancers in serums, sunscreens, and face creams. 

Popular INCI ingredients in this segment include polyphenols, niacinamide, and activated charcoal. The demand for urban defense formulations is increasing. Sub-types include film-formers and detoxifying actives. Regulations emphasize efficacy in pollution protection.
