Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation

Sunlight arrives on Earth in three forms; infrared (heat), visible light and ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in the form of UVA (types 1&2) and UVB rays.

UVA light penetrates deeper into the skin than UVB light and is thought to be a prime cause of photoageing; characterised by wrinkles, dark blotches, freckles, leathery skin and a loss of skin elasticity.

99% of the ultraviolet radiation that reaches the Earth's surface is actually UVA, yet deceptively we mostly hear about worries concerning UVB radiation, as it is this form that causes the visibly noticeable “tan” and “sunburn”.

Dermatologists recommend DAILY use of a broad-spectrum UVA and UVB sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15, as the most effective way to protect the skin from photodamage - skin ageing caused by exposure to the sun.

 

Uva-Ursi Extract/Arbutin

Arbutin is a plant glycoside and skin lightener found in a natural plant, Uva-Ursi (which also has antioxidant properties).

Arbutin is a natural hydroquinone molecule attached to a sugar molecule (C6H6O6) which makes it water soluble.

Arbutin helps prevent additional brown spots from occurring by stopping the production of melanin. Specifically, arbutin works by suppressing tyrosinase, the enzyme that biochemically converts tyrosine into melanin in skin.
