BESUN PHOTO-PROTECTION LINE

This sun protection line is formulated with Polypodium leucotomos extract, an innovative active ingredient derived from a fern native to Central America that boasts incredible benefits for the skin, and that is specially extracted by ATACHE.

CONCERN: SUN DAMAGE AND PREMATURE AGEING

Sun is essential for life, and in our body it plays an important role in functions such as vitamin D synthesis, which is important for strong bones and a healthy immune system, among other things. However, it can also be harmful, as overexposure leads to burns, photocarcinogenesis and even immunosuppression.

On the other hand, when it comes to skin care, intense sun exposure is the main cause of premature ageing and skin pigmentation.

Another important aspect of sun damage is that it happens year-round, regardless of whether the sun is out or not. That means we’re also vulnerable to sun damage during the winter if we don’t protect ourselves properly.

Be Sun is formulated to offer complete sun protection. However, not only does it protect from sun damage but also defends the skin from the harmful effects of pollution, which is another factor that accelerates skin ageing.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

Polypodium leukotomes is a powerful natural active ingredient that’s native to Central America, with incredible antioxidant and photo-protective properties that protect the skin from the effects of UV radiation. It also boasts anti-inflammatory and immunostimulatory properties. This active ingredient is extracted using an original Asacpharma procedure that preserves the integrity of its components.

The antipollution active ingredient in BeSun neutralises diesel combustion particles (DEP) and prevents melanin overproduction (a common cause of dark spots).

Thermus thermophilus ferment is a biotechnological cell protector that has an antioxidant effect. It protects cells from damage caused by infrared radiation (IR), neutralising the production of oxygen-free radicals (ROS) and stopping the spread of oxidative stress. It also helps boost energy levels and increases mitochondrial water content, allowing better hydration.

The moisturising protective film is an active ingredient made with biotechnological polysaccharides obtained by microbial fermentation from plant substrates. It acts with a dual simultaneous physical and biological function: as an anti-ageing active ingredient, it enhances protein longevity, and as a restructuring agent, it regulates inflammation markers of cells due to its glycan structure. It has an immediate and long-lasting skin softening and moisturising action. It provides light softness, without making the skin appear oily or shiny.

Lutein, which is found in BeSun Oral, acts as a skin filter for short-wavelength light (blue, violet and ultraviolet). Its significant efficacy against light-induced skin damage, especially UV radiation, has been proven, and it has an antioxidant action, neutralising ROS.

Niacin or Vitamin B, also found in BeSun Oral, improves DNA repair, reduces UV-induced skin immune suppression, regulates the production of inflammatory cytokines and the skin’s barrier function and restores cellular energy levels after UV exposure.

FORMULATION

The formulation with Polypodium leucotomos is the main factor that sets our BeSun line apart. Its multiple functions and skin benefits make it the star ingredient in any photo-protection product, offering the skin so much more than a traditional sunscreen does.

Not only that, the synergistic action of this plant extract with the complementary FORMULATION and reinforcing active ingredients makes this line very special, as it also acts against free radicals, providing an antioxidant effect that reverses the effects of existing sun damage.

As a finishing touch we’ve incorporated an oral sunscreen into our line, in a dietary supplement format, to ensure total protection, especially during times of high exposure.

ACTION

HIGH PHOTO-PROTECION

BeSun products offer SPF50+ sun protection, and we offer a range of different types of sun creams so you can choose a photo-protector that will work for your skin type and needs.

ANTI-POLLUTION FILTER

BeSun not only protects the skin from solar radiation, but also from atmospheric pollution, another big cause of premature ageing and skin sensitisation.

WATERPROOF

The fact that it’s waterproof allows you to keep your photo-protection in place both in summer whilst in the water and throughout the year when you run into unforeseen events.
