Bicosome delivering Carotenes for UV and IR protection

Sun protection is evolving to comprise a broad range of strategies that go beyond the use of UV filters.

Biological sun protection consists in reinforcing the skin’s defence mechanism enabling the tissue to neutralize the harmful effects of solar radiation.

Bicosome has developed a new active ingredient that provides protection against the damages from UV and IR radiations.

Bicotene® Antiox / UV & IR Protection Complex is a powerful system based on the Bicosome® Platform that reaches the deeper layers of the epidermis, nourishing the skin with a powerful combinations of endogenous antioxidant molecules, such as carotenes and vitamins.

Bicotene ® structures protect the antioxidant molecules from degradation and carry them to the skin layer where they should be active, maximizing their effects.

Bicotene® Complex works in different stages of skin protection:

(1) Immediately neutralising FR present in the skin

(2) Blocking FR formation during UV exposure

(3) Accelerating skin recovery after UV exposure and

(4) Preventing the collagen degradation during IR exposure

Bicotene ® Complex is able double the antioxidant efficacy of solar formulations.

This ingredient has been developed with the company exclusive technology, the Bicosome® Platform, which per se provides a set of unique effects. Bicosome products interact with the skin by means of an innovative biomimetic process that reinforces the skin lipid structures while providing targeted delivery and long lasting effects.
