Spending a day in a polluted urban environment has immediate visible consequences on the skin: it becomes oily and shows lack of radiance. Aggressed by too many pollutants, the skin natural detoxification system, called Nrf2 pathway, can’t cope with them and its biological functions become dysregulated: sebocytes produce excess of sebum and skin becomes dull.
To support the skin’s detoxification mechanism, BioDTox™, a natural active, relies on ingredients well-known for their detoxification properties: bioflavonoids from citrus, polyphenols from aloe, and sulforaphane from brassica. Recent tests showed that after application of a foaming cleanser containing 2% of BioDTox, sebum spot surface was decreased by 14.51% and sebum spot numbers by 12.37% after 20 minutes. A clinical study was conducted on volunteers with a dull complexion and oily skin in a highly polluted city in China. Results showed that after a full day spent in this polluted environment, cleansing the skin with a solution containing BioDTox improved skin radiance by 18%.
