, responsible for the unique color of flamingos and present in the tissues of many animals, we proudly present the result of over 12 months of research and development -
.
The digitalization of life, increased use of electronic devices, and prolonged stays in artificially lit rooms have significantly increased our exposure to blue light.
Scientific research clearly indicates that
excess exposure of the skin to blue light has numerous negative effects. One of the most harmful effects is the formation of reactive oxygen species, which can lead to DNA damage, oxidative stress and overproduction of melanin. These harmful processes can cause
general skin damage, further accelerating the aging process.***
Natural astaxanthin, derived from microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, combined with tallow, due to its hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, can occupy a transmembrane position, protecting skin cells from harmful environmental influences and maintaining oxidative balance. Astaxanthin, being the most powerful antioxidant in nature, is 6000 times stronger than vitamin C and 770 times stronger than coenzyme Q10.****
Flamingo balm contains only natural ingredients providing scientifically proven antioxidant support for your skin on a daily basis, regardless of conditions - both during a long day at the office and outdoors.
For best results, apply a small amount of balm to damp skin and allow it to absorb.
Ingredients: Adeps Bovis (Beef) tallow, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil, Haematococcus Pluvialis (Microalgae) Extract, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch, Tocopherol.
No flamingos were harmed in the production of this balm.
*Manufacturer's in vitro study on human keratinocytes showed a reduction in oxidative cell stress by 87.52% when using the minimum effective concentration^ of natural astaxanthin derived from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis.
**When our skin is exposed to blue light stress, profilaggrin expression decreases significantly. Manufacturer's ex vivo study on human skin explants subjected to blue light stress showed improvement greater than 80% in profilaggrin expression when using the maximum effective concentration^ of natural astaxanthin derived from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis compared to placebo.
