Our skin is constantly bombarded by environmental stressors. From urban pollutants and tobacco smoke to heavy metals, the impact of these aggressors is unavoidable. Among these stressors are oxidising agents, which are molecules that can cause damage to cells through a process called oxidation. This damage can manifest as skin aging, hyperpigmentation, and other unwanted effects that weakens the skin barrier. Fortunately, Cantabria Labs (the pharmaceutical company behind Endocare) has developed a groundbreaking solution: Edafence® Technology, a patented anti-pollution technology that prevents and repairs damage caused by external environmental stressors.

Understanding the impact of oxidising agents on the skin

Oxidising agents, also known as free radicals, are highly reactive molecules that can damage cellular components such as DNA, proteins, and lipids. They are generated from various sources, including tobacco smoke, heavy metals, and urban pollutants. When these oxidising agents interact with the skin, they cause oxidative stress. This weakens the skin barrier, accelerates aging, and leads to conditions like hyperpigmentation as well as wrinkling, sagging and dryness. 

What is Edafence®?

Edafence® is a revolutionary anti-pollution technology developed by Cantabria Labs. It is derived from the leaves of Deschampsia antarctica, a resilient grass native to Antarctica that has adapted to survive extreme environmental conditions. Cantabria Labs has perfected an extraction procedure that preserves the biological activity of the active ingredients found in Deschampsia antarctica. This ensures that Edafence® provides maximum protection and repair benefits for the skin barrier.

The benefits of Edafence® Technology

Protection against environmental stressors

Edafence® breaks the boundaries of anti-oxidation by providing robust protection against a variety of environmental pollutants. It has been clinically proven to protect the skin from the damaging effects of tobacco smoke, urban pollutants, and other oxidising agents. By reducing the damage these agents cause to fibroblasts (the cells responsible for producing collagen), Edafence® helps maintain skin health and integrity.

Prevention of hyperpigmentation and dark Spots

One of the significant benefits of Edafence® is its ability to prevent hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Activation of the AhR receptor (Aryl-hydrocarbon) is closely related to the appearance of these skin issues. Edafence® has demonstrated its efficacy in blocking this receptor, thereby preventing the formation of hyperpigmentation and maintaining an even skin tone.

Improvement of skin barrier function

The skin barrier is our first line of defence against environmental aggressors. Edafence® combats the damage caused by contaminants, helping to maintain and improve the skin barrier function. It ensures that levels of loricrin, a protein essential for the proper functioning of the skin barrier, are preserved. This results in stronger, more resilient skin that can better withstand environmental stressors.

Antioxidant Activity

Edafence® boasts powerful antioxidant properties, protecting the skin from oxidising agents and free radical aggression. By maintaining fibroblast survival and even promoting improvement, Edafence® helps the skin repair itself more effectively. This antioxidant activity is crucial in preventing the visible signs of aging and maintaining youthful, healthy skin.

Protect Your Skin with Endocare 

Endocare integrates Edafence® Technology into its skincare formulations, ensuring your skin receives the highest level of protection and rejuvenation. Products like the Radiance C Ferulic Edafence Serum and Renewal Comfort Cream use the power of Edafence® to deliver luminous, nourished, and resilient skin.

Edafence® Technology from Cantabria Labs is not just a skincare innovation – it’s a commitment to preserving skin health in the face of modern environmental challenges. By incorporating Edafence® into your skincare routine, you can shield your skin from the impact of oxidising agents, maintain a strong skin barrier, and reveal a radiant, youthful complexion.
