INCI: XANTOPHYLL
Benefits
Yellow, orange, red, the colors of protection
They protect the skin from oxidative stress, one of the causes of premature skin aging. Stress, pollution, environmental factors, unbalanced diet are all causes that trigger the proliferation of free radicals. The skin thus appears brighter and less red.
Things
They are substances that belong to the carotenoid family, but contain oxygen atoms, and are precursors of Vitamin A. The main ones also contained in the human body are Lutein and Zeaxanthin. Carotenoids are the result of a photosynthesis process and therefore cannot be produced by the human body, but they are fundamental as they intervene in oxidation processes. One of the main sources of xanthophylls extraction is Tagetes erecta, a flower similar to marigold.
Curiosity
The term xanthophylls derives from the Greek “xantos” meaning yellow and “fylla” leaves
