- Product Background
Like Preparami® protective active cosmetic ingredient, Protectami® is one of the high-tech active ingredients in Alban Muller’s line of active ingredient.
This anti-pollution active ingredient par excellence is stabilized in glycerin. It contains purified Padina pavonica extract, the brown alga also found in the Padinami® formula.
The proven properties of Padina make this an active cosmetic ingredient of choice to revitalize skin that appears tired and dull due to the harmful effects of pollution.
Padina’s anti-pollution properties act as an epidermic shield by strengthening the skin, making it more resilient to the effects of pollution.
Padina pavonica is a brown alga commonly found in temperate water. It grows in the Mediterranean Sea and the north-western and north-eastern areas of the Atlantic Ocean. Padina is especially known for its hydrating, regenerating and restructurating properties. It also gives firmness and elasticity to the skin.
- Product Benefits
The anti-pollution and anti-aging active ingredients of Protectami® inspired targeted cosmetic products with beneficial effects on the skin:
- Anti-pollution: Padina protects the skin against stress and pollution.
- Firming: Keratins (intermediate keratin filaments) production is improved. Desmosomes production is reinforced to maintain intercellular bonds to firm the skin. Discover another firming cosmetic active ingredient: Repulpami ER.
- Defense: Skin becomes more resistant due to stronger cell cohesion and by stimulating the synthesis of calcium-dependent cellular structures such as desmosomes and keratins.
- Regeneration: Enhanced cellular communication for optimal skin metabolism.
