Product description:
Inside Heart Egyptian blue lily, also known as Nymphaea caerulea, is an active plant cell that has proven effective in cosmetic applications. This natural ingredient is known for its anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle and antioxidant properties, which help to slow down cell oxidation and reduce the formation of free radicals. Inside Heart Egyptian blue lily has also been shown to limit cell breakdown and cell disruption, helping to maintain healthy, youthful skin.
 
One of the key mechanisms by which Inside Heart Egyptian blue lily achieves its effects is the inhibition of glycation at the fibroblast level. In vitro studies have shown that Inside Heart Egyptian blue lily significantly inhibits glycation by 19%, 25% and 28% at concentrations of 0.5%, 1% and 2.5% respectively.
 
In addition to its ability to inhibit glycation, Inside Heart Egyptian blue lily has also been shown to reduce lipid peroxidation, a major contributor to skin ageing. Under physiological conditions, Inside Heart Egyptian blue lily was able to reduce the MDA (malondialdehyde) rate by 10%, 17% and 23% at concentrations of 0.5%, 1% and 2.5% respectively. When exposed to UVB, Inside Heart Egyptian blue lily was able to reduce the rate of MDA (malondialdehyde) by up to 30 % at the same concentrations, compared to the protective enzymes SOD/catalase (-35 %).
 
Inside Heart Egyptian blue lily has also been shown to be effective in clinical trials. In a study of 20 women over a 28-day period, application of an emulsion containing 0.5% of Inside Heart Egyptian blue lily resulted in a 20% reduction in the total surface area of wrinkles. Furthermore, the number of wrinkles was reduced by 17% and the length of wrinkles was reduced by 23%. 
 
Overall, Inside Heart Egyptian blue lily is a powerful natural ingredient that effectively reduces the signs of ageing and maintains healthy, youthful skin. Its ability to inhibit glycation and reduce lipid peroxidation, as well as its revitalising effect, make it an excellent choice for those who want to maintain their skin at its best.
