THE ADVANTAGES OF NUTROXSUN™

CELLULAR PROTECTION
NutroxSun™ plays a crucial role in protecting keratinocytes against cell death caused by UVB rays.
Keratinocytes were treated with grapefruit alone, rosemary alone, or NutroxSun ™ (50:50 ratio). Cell viability was measured after irradiation of cells with UVB at 800 J/m2 and 1200 J/m2.
NutroxSun™ significantly increases cell protection compared to the irradiated control without added extracts.
INTRACELLULAR ANTIOXIDANT
NutroxSun™ inhibits the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells exposed to UVB. In vitro studies have also demonstrated its intracellular antioxidant role. The diterpenes present in rosemary and the flavonoids in grapefruit have been identified as having antioxidant properties, as confirmed by various studies using cellular and animal models.
DNA PROTECTION
NutroxSun™ reduces UV damage to cellular DNA, thereby reducing the number of strand breaks. This protection is assessed using tests such as the comet assay and the CBMN assay.
What are the effects of the sun on the skin?
Sun exposure, while pleasant, can have serious repercussions on the health and appearance of the skin.
Solar radiation includes ultraviolet (UV) rays, which according to the WHO can cause acute and chronic effects on the skin, eyes and immune system with prolonged exposure.
Negative effects of sun exposure include sunburn, decreased skin immune defenses, and can even lead to the development of cancers such as carcinoma and melanoma.
In addition to health risks, unprotected sun exposure can also lead to wrinkles, loss of skin firmness, and hyperpigmentation.
It is therefore essential to adopt adequate sun protection measures to prevent these harmful effects and preserve the health and beauty of the skin in the long term.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION +
Rosemary leaf extract contains approximately 57% total polyphenols, powerful antioxidants, while grapefruit extract contains approximately 22% flavonoids. This innovative ingredient is entirely natural and plays an essential role in sun protection.
Pomelos, also known as grapefruits, are harvested in the orchards of Murcia, Spain, in the heart of the Mediterranean basin. Rosemary is also grown in the Lorca region, which enjoys a particularly favorable climate. This area is one of the largest cultivated areas in Spain, guaranteeing optimal conditions for growing rosemary.
Through sustainable partnerships with local farmers, this ingredient is grown and harvested with a strong commitment to quality and safety, ensuring a reliable and effective source for cosmetic and sunscreen applications.
NutroxSun™ is an effective alternative to sunscreen for UV protection, backed by clinical results. Unlike traditional sunscreen, which is often misapplied or used inconsistently in everyday life outside of vacation periods or sunny days, NutroxSun™ offers consistent protection.
Clinical studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing UV damage to the skin, including reducing DNA damage and protecting cells from UVB-induced cell death. This solution is particularly attractive because it does not require frequent application and can be easily integrated into a daily routine without the drawbacks of traditional sunscreen, such as harsh skin, sensitivity to water, sweat, or friction.
