Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is the enzyme actively fighting free radicals. Make friends with SOD! The presence of SOD in cosmetics provides:
- anti-inflammatory effect for young skin with prominent rash and imperfections;
- regenerating effect for the skin with post-inflammatory pigmentation;
- anti-age effect and effect of skin rejuvenation (relevant to smokers);
- effect of hydration and restoration of the skin after exposure to sunlight;
- lightening effect.
We all know that skin is the largest organ providing protective function and constantly loaded with free radicals. This load comes from various sources, both external and internal. The enzymes, which include superoxide dismutase (SOD), protect the body from destructive influence of free radicals.
Superoxide dismutase is naturally present in every single cell of the body and is the key enzyme of antioxidant protection from damaging influence of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs).
SOD is an enzyme antioxidant which is well-known for its ability to neutralize the most aggressive free radical, which is superoxide. It is 1,000 times stronger than vitamin E in terms of its antioxidant abilities. Alas, the SOD activity is not constant, and its peak is 5-9 years of age. Since 18 years of age the SOD activity begins gradually reducing. Receiving the antioxidant from the outside may reduce the consequences of negative external factors, slowing down the skin aging processes. SOD enzymes:
- fight free radicals,
- prevent the start of peroxidation of skin lipids under the influence of UV radiation;
- block the processes leading to degeneration of collagen quality;
- prevent the collagen glycation, which is a complex irreversible process leading to hardening of connective tissue (particularly collagen fibers), due to which wrinkles appear and deepen and the amount of moist in subcutaneous layer reduces.
All healthy properties of SOD were considered during the development of the FreshClick body lotion for young skin. In addition to the fact that SOD enzymes protect the skin from free radicals, they excellently cope with the tracks of teenage period on it.
The lotion momentarily moisturizes the skin, and its active ingredients start working immediately, getting rid of problems. The product excellently copes with rush and flaking.
