POLLUSTOP® is an anionic polysaccharide of high molecular weight, obtained through biotechnology. It forms a film on the surface of the skin and hair, limiting environmental and intracellular-induced damage (oxidative stress, inflammation, cellular and mitochondrial toxicity, etc.) and preventing the alteration of hair fiber due to oxidative pollution.

Technical Details & Test Data

Mechanism of Action

Thanks to its ability to form a matrix, Glycofilm ® / Pollustop ® constitutes a barrier for the skin and hair against 3 types of pollution :

  • Atmospheric (carbon particles, fine particles and heavy metals)
  • UV
  • Domestic (chemicals)

and thus limits the intra and extracellular skin damage caused by these (oxidative stress, inflammation, cellular and mitochondrial toxicity, etc.), but also prevents the alteration of the hair fiber caused by prooxidant pollution.
