FSS Tonka Bean BioFerment PF
Preserved with Leucidal Liquid
Selecting the right lighting is all the rage! From camera filters to effects that enhance our appearance, lighting has made its way to the forefront as a means of perfecting skin aesthetics. Depending on the type of light or its direction, light can accentuate imperfections, cause shadows and make fine lines and wrinkles more visible. The isolated polyphenols found in FSS Tonka Bean Bioferment PF allow us to harness the power of UV rays, which typically harm our skin, and use them to emit light in the visible spectrum, increasing the luminescence of our skin. The result is skin that appears bright and less wrinkled. The polyphenols also help to even the skin tone while masking imperfections and providing antioxidant protection from extrinsic damage.
Chromatherapy, or color therapy, is the use of colored light to treat various conditions. Routed in Ayurveda medicine, holistic findings show that chromatherapy has been practiced in traditional Chinese medicine and dates back to ancient Egyptian times. More recently, studies have shown that blue light exhibits phototoxic effects on the heme metabolism of Propionibacertium acnes. This helps inhibit the growth of this bacteria which often results in problem skin. Further research shows that blue light helps improve inflammatory lesions by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Over time, the proteins in our skin cross-link and diminish the refraction of light. This causes our skin to appear dull. Indeed, optical diffusers are used to hide imperfections, however, the usual results do not provide consumers with the desired outcome. Concealers, also used to mask imperfections, tend to settle into wrinkles and fine lines diminishing the skin’s natural luminescence. By isolating the polyphenols from Tonka Beans, known for their ability to absorb light in the UV range and emit light in the visible spectra, this product was developed that is efficaciously able to increase the skin’s luminescence while protecting the skin from future damage.
