Description

Lanablue® blue colour (no colour when formulated) is due to the natural pigment of Phytosienine. An extract of Endemic Cyanophyleae harvested in wild conditions, Lanablue® has a high content of group B vitamins, amino acids and specific pigments. It acts like natural Retinoids (without the side effects) on Keratinocyte differentiation, thus smoothing and densifying the epidermis.
Lanablue® influences different markers such as: Filaggrin, marker of cell differentiation, it contributes to maintaining skin hydration and liberates natural moisturising factors; Loricrin, marker of Corneocyte differentiation; Calgranulin A, Calgranulin B and Psoriasin, markers of basal proliferation, involved in skin repair process; TIMP 1 (Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1), natural inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) which regulates the integrity of the Extracellular structure.
