Sea® HEATHER

Water, cystoseira amentacea / caespitosa / brachycarpa extract. It works through mechanisms which prevent the lipid peroxidation and inflammatory responses. It can enter cells and inhibit various reactive oxidative species involved in the non-enzymatic pathway of the lipid peroxidation, especially the most reactive species, hydroxyl and alkoyl radicals. On that account, it protects against cellular lysis. It also prevents inflammation by inhibiting of both phospholipase A2, (thereby limits the production of arachidonic acid) and 5-lipoxygenase, (thereby limits the production of leukotriene’s). This makes it excellent ingredient for products aimed at helping to reduce irritation, soothing the skin and improving the comfort of reactive and sensitive skins. It is used in Soothing care for reactive and sensitive skins, protecting care for irritated, sunburnt, razor burnt skins, daily protecting care, anti-aging care, sun and after sun care, scalp care.
