This is especially important as ultraviolet exposure can affect production of ATP in skin cells, sapping those cells of the energy needed for their protective mechanisms to function properly. In clinical studies, niacinamide has been shown to support the bodys natural immune response needed to protect against the age-related effects of ultraviolet exposure.
Shade Factor also contains an extract of the fern Polypodium leucotomos with many protective effects on the skin. In clinical trials,this extract helps inhibit cellular changes in the skin that can lead to premature aging from outdoor activity, and it also works to promote healthy DNA before, during, and after ultraviolet exposure.
Supports natural immune response to UV exposure
Shade Facto also contains Red Orange Complex, a standardized extract that is obtained from three red orange varieties. Red orange extract is rich in active phenolic compounds with potent free radical scavenging activity, including anthocyanins, flavanones, and hydroxycinnamic acids (as well as ascorbic acid), that help support the body's natural immune response and promote healthy skin.
Red Orange Complex complements niacinamids DNA-protective, immune-supporting effects.
