Biologists and cosmetic chemists are now able to accurately pinpoint specific areas of cell damage and repair mechanisms. The result is skin care ingredients that target DNA, mitochondria and other cell bodies to enhance protection and repair processes natural to the cell, including boosting the production of cellular antioxidants, repairing damaged DNA, decreasing pigment production and inflammation, and positively enhancing the skin’s immune response. In this presentation, you’ll learn about endogenous antioxidants, heat shock proteins, COX-2 inhibitors, and newly discovered proteins and peptides that will take age-fighting skin care into a new dimension.
