The skin is not only our outer covering but also an active protective barrier against external influences. UV radiation, in particular, is considered a major stress factor, associated with oxidative stress and increased strain on skin cells. Dry air, ozone, diet, and lifestyle choices can also have long-term effects on skin appearance.

While external sun protection remains important, there is growing interest in supporting the normal function of the skin through targeted micronutrient intake. Providing the skin with essential nutrients can be an integral part of a holistic skincare approach.

Uwemba-Pastilles® Sun & Skin Protection

Uwemba-Pastilles® Sun & Skin Protection was developed to meet this need. It contains:

• Beta-carotene (provitamin A)

• Vitamins C, D3, and E

• Lutein, lycopene, Polypodium leucotomos, and green tea extract

These micronutrients contribute to scientifically validated functions:

• Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.

• Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin.

• Vitamin C and vitamin E contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

• Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

The formulation is particularly suitable during periods of intense sun exposure – whether in daily life, on holiday, or during sports activities – and as a daily supplement to support skin health within a health-conscious lifestyle.

Uwemba-Pastilles^® Sun & Skin Protection support this effect.

Polypodium Leucotomos extracts have been used to treat psoriasis in South America and Spain. Increasing clinical-scientific evidence suggests that P. leucotomos can also be used to treat various skin diseases and conditions because it provides protection from ultraviolet radiation by preventing polymorphic light eruption.

Beta-carotene assists with skin problems that may be caused by photosensitivity.
