Technical Details & Test Data

Mechanism of Action

Leniphenol reduces effectively inflammation thanks to its specific activity on IL-1α with a lenitive and anti-redness effect; it also inhibits the activity of hyaluronidase and elastase enzyme (responsible for the skin-aging) and is able to protects the skin from pollutants and UV rays, while increasing the SPF of a formulation by 15%.
