Sunflower Shoot Active from Mibelle Biochemistry: new energizing and time fighting active

Jan. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- With age, our cells produce less energy and less antioxidants. Moreover, the level of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, increases. This leads to a loss of elasticity and firmness of the skin and to the appearance of wrinkles.

Sunflower Shoot Active is a purified extract of organic sunflower shoots. Shoots have naturally occurring levels of nutrients (vitamins, antioxidants and phyto-nutrients) higher than the corresponding mature plant.

Gene array analysis as well as in vitro studies performed on fibroblasts and on reconstructed epidermis showed the capacity of Sunflower Shoot Active to reverse the aging process by:

•    stimulating the cellular production of energy and antioxidants
•    stimulating build-up of ECM proteins and inhibiting their degradation by MMP
•    reinforcing the skin barrier.

Sunflower Shoot Active is Ecocert certified; 99.5% of ingredients from natural origin
