Your Anti-Pollution Ingredient Glossary

lead_bioelements_101716

Pollution is making a big impact in our industry, and with good reason. Recent dermatological studies show that day in, day out exposure to pollution (from exhaust, smog, smoke, free radicals and even extreme climate) can cause dehydration, wrinkles, fine lines, premature aging, weakened skin, dullness, and sensitivity.

Anti-pollution skin care is now more necessary than ever. There are many different ingredients that help fight the toxic effects of pollution. Keep this list on-hand to educate your clients and keep their skin protected.

Malachite

A copper-rich pollution magnet and heavy metal scavenger, this ingredient helps support skin's natural cellular “damage protection” system and neutralize everyday skin-aging oxidative stress.

In this lightweight, pollution-neutralizing breakthrough, malachite helps inhibit pollution-caused cell damage at a rate of more than 98%.(2)

Activated Charcoal

When the shell of a coconut is heated and dried, the remaining charcoal develops a porous consistency. This porosity (think of the tiny holes in a sponge) helps to draw toxins from pollution up and out of the skin. If applied in a series, this ingredient can help reverse the side effects of pollution and leave skin fresh and smooth.

This professional Power Mask helps filter toxins and deep cleans for better penetration of vitamin C and mineral actives.

Algae and Kelp

Kelp is incredibly beneficial for moving toxins through the body, stimulating circulation and helping it to become more resistive to damage. It can also soothe the skin and maintain hydration. Red algae protects skin against dryness and irritation caused by pollution by replenishing and maintaining skin’s natural moisturizing factor.

Red algae helps increases skin's own natural hydrating hyaluronic acid by 211%, and skin-restoring ceramides by 56% in this pollution-neutralizing moisturizer. (3)

Vitamins C, A and E

Antioxidants have so many benefits for the skin. They increase microcirculation, which helps stimulate the skin’s self-cleansing, self-healing and self-regenerating ability. They can also reverse some of pollution’s side effects by brightening skin and stimulating collagen to keep skin looking and feeling firmer.
