Sun and UV light<br />

The sun has many beneficial effects but it can also damage the skin. Some of the UV<br />

radiation in sunlight can penetrate deeply into the skin, where it can damage the genetic<br />

<strong>information</strong> (DNA) in the cell nuclei of skin cells.<br />

Human skin does have a natural repair mechanism, but the body’s repair system is less<br />

effective at repairing UV skin damage in strong sunlight or when one is older. This can lead<br />

to chronic light damage in the deeper layers of the skin, or may become visible as premature<br />

ageing of the skin (wrinkles).<br />

Why sunscreen plus repair<br />

All ATEIA® sunscreen products contain the latest generation of sun protection factors to<br />

provide reliable protection against UVA and UVB radiation according to EU<br />

recommendations. Protection against sun damage is enhanced with DNA-repair<br />

enzymes in all ATEIA® sunscreen products. The combination of innovative repair concepts<br />

and DNA-repair enzymes provides protection against the harmful effects of UV light in<br />

deeper, hidden layers of the skin.<br />

DNA-repair enzymes<br />

DNA-repair enzymes are DNA-binding proteins that function as the body’s intrinsic repair<br />

system in the nuclei of skin cells. This technique has been copied from nature by an<br />

international team of dermatologists engaged in a research project aimed at developing an<br />

innovative sunscreen. As a ‘model’, the researchers used microbes that have been exposed<br />

for thousands of years to very high levels of UV radiation and have very efficient repair<br />

mechanisms.<br />

Why Nopasomes®<br />

All ATEIA®’s sunscreen and suncare products contain a combination of two DNA repair<br />

enzymes with different actions, in the form of liposomes (Photosomes, Ultrasomes) and a<br />

botanical extract of Nopal cactus (Nopasomes®).<br />

This unique combination of active ingredients* already supports the body’s own skin cell<br />

repair mechanisms while sunbathing, and prevents premature ageing or damage of the skin<br />

by UV radiation.<br />

Photosomes activate the repair mechanisms of the skin in daylight, and Ultrasomes do the<br />

same at night (24 hour action). Photosomes and Ultrasomes are in the form of liposomes<br />

and can therefore penetrate into deeper layers of the skin. The Nopal cactus can soothe and<br />

prevent skin irritation due to its high polysaccharide content. The preventive effects of the
