Arabian Cotton™

Arabian Cotton™ is a 100% natural active made from plant stem cells of Gossypium herbaceum (the Arabian Cotton) that provides photoprotection against UV, IR, and VIS radiation (including blue light), and fights against photo-aging with a broad-spectrum antioxidant effect.It is enriched in a characteristic phytocomplex of polyphenols from this extremophile plant that, topically applied, can complement and boost the skin cells’ own defense mechanisms to overcome the photo damage and the photo-aging caused by sun radiation. Arabian Cotton™ emerges as the global resource against photo damage and photo-aging, covering the whole solar spectrum (UV, IR, VIS, including HEV (Blue Light) thanks to its new innovative natural activity in the field of photo-protection.

Product Background

Photoinduced aging or photoaging is the result of an accumulation of damage (photo damage) that modifies the cutaneous appearance to a greater or lesser extent. The most recent trend in photoprotection is to study the existence of a complementary process, whereby the natural photobiological compounds (Arabian Cotton™) would show the ability to act on the photodynamic targets (as secondary filters), protecting the cell metabolism and inhibiting inflammatory and degenerative processes whose result is known as photoinduced aging.

Product Highlights
  • Arabian Cotton™ is an active enriched in defensive plant molecules that protect and repair cell structures against sun damage. It provides photoprotection against UV, IR, and VIS radiation, and fights against photo-aging with a broad-spectrum antioxidant effect.
  • Gossypium herbaceum, the Arabian Cotton™, is an extremophile native plant from semi-arid regions of sub-Saharan Africa and Arabia. Due to the hard environmental conditions, Arabian Cotton has developed a great diversity of defensive molecules (phenols and flavonoids) that help the plant cell to protect and repair its structures against sun damage.
  • Arabian Cotton™ is a suspension containing Gossypium herbaceum seed extract in glycerine
  • Arabian Cotton™ is a natural product, so color or transparency may evolve slightly after production without affecting its properties. After some time, a precipitate appears. Being the product a suspension of cells in a liquid medium, this is completely normal and can be solved by shaking well before use.
