Topix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. introduces state-of-the-art Replenix® Ultra-Sheer Sunscreen SPF 55

PRLog (Press Release) - Apr. 1, 2011 - NORTH AMITYVILLE, NY – April 1, 2011 Topix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (TOPIX) introduces Replenix® Ultra Sheer Sunscreen SPF 55 with groundbreaking Singlet Photo-Stabilization Technology. Formulated with Avobenzone 3.0%, Octinoxate 7.5%, Octisalate 5.0% and Oxybenzone 5.0%, this sunscreen is gentle on sensitive skin and acne-prone skin, and provides lasting protection against UVA and UVB rays.  Additionally, this lightweight, ultra-sheer formula is ideal for daily use and perfect under makeup. The formulation utilizes the latest Singlet Photo-Stabilization Technology, a true innovation in effectively and efficiently stabilizing the active sunscreens which is important to the patient's overall sun protection.
     “Replenix® Ultra Sheer Sunscreen SPF 55 is a result of many of our physicians asking for cosmetically elegant sunscreen that would provide broad-spectrum protection and be appropriate for all skin types without being too thick or chalky. This product is the sunscreen of choice for patients who want the ultimate in protection without the feel of wearing a physical block. It is ideal for oily skin and acne-prone patients who do not like wearing heavy sunscreens, as well as an excellent choice for men who generally are not used to wearing products on their face,“ said Joseph Ragosta, Vice President of Sales.
    Replenix® Ultra-Sheer Sunscreen SPF 55 is specially formulated with Avobenzone (Parsol 1789™) to help provide the highest level of long-lasting, broad-spectrum protection in combination with a rich blend of free radical quenching antioxidants. This advanced sunscreen blocks most UVA and UVB radiation from reaching the skin, minimizes the effect of UV damage, and provides up to 55 times your skin's natural protection from sunburn. The long wave UVA protection is a result of combining the maximum legal limit of Avobenzone with a groundbreaking photo stabilization system.  The photo stabilization system, unique to Topix product, is engineered with a powerful singlet stabilizer at its core and is reported to be the latest improvement over the older, less efficient technologies which sought to provide downstream stabilization at the triplet stage.
Replenix® Ultra-Sheer Sunscreen SPF 55 additionally provides antioxidant protective coverage which consists of liposome encapsulated Vitamin E, Green Tea Polyphenols and Co-Q10. While the proper use of a sunscreen is the cornerstone in any anti-aging regimen, using a mix of different antioxidants supports the UV filters to provide a layer of protection against the breakdown of collagen and elastin by UV rays and is believed to be more beneficial than a high concentration of one particular type.    
     The Replenix® Ultra-Sheer Sunscreen SPF 55 cosmetically elegant and exceptionally light formula contains emollients to help prevent water loss and improve hydration of the skin, helping to create and maintain a healthy complexion. Optimal for daily use, this state-of-the-art, oil-, fragrance-, alcohol- and paraben-free sunblock absorbs quickly, sets to a weightless residue-free, transparent finish and is ideal for use alone or under makeup.
    “Each product within the Replenix® line was designed to be highly therapeutic and contains ingredients which represent the latest technology available to provide lasting results,” said Steven Hernandez, Vice President of Research and Development. “As a scientist, I was given the freedom to work with the finest ingredients to formulate a whole new generation of sunscreen product that is both efficacious and elegant, maintains superior broad-spectrum UVA & UVB protection over time and complements any regimen.”
    Replenix® Ultra-Sheer Sunscreen SPF 55 is distributed primarily through dermatologists and plastic surgeons.
