Like tocopherols, they activate the protection of skin cells by promoting the action of the antioxidant system, the division of new cells and the production of antibacterial peptides, which accelerates healing and reduces inflammatory processes. They prolong safe time of exposure to the sun and reduce the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight.
