Description
Infinity ingredients is the UK distributor of α-Lupaline® from Laboratoires Expanscience.
The wheat germ is the “living” part of the seed containing all of the components necessary for the plant’s future growth. The oil extracted from the wheat germ is widely used in cosmetics and food products for its nutritional properties, and because it is rich in essential fatty acids (72%) and vitamin E.
Lupin is a legume whose seeds are very high in protein and contain secondary oil and minor biologically active components. This plant is an important source of molecules for cosmetic and nutritional products. α-Lupaline® is a concentrate of precious molecules, the unsaponifiable elements of the wheat germ, combined with lupin oil. The unsaponifiable element of the wheat oil is extracted using molecular distillation, an original patented process developed by recognised experts at the Laboratoires Expanscience.
α-Lupaline® protects the skin against oxidative stress generated by daily exposition to light: IR, UV and blue light. It preserves cell integrity and functions by preventing the degradation of DNA, cell membranes and proteins whilst preserving skin firmness and elasticity.
