<strong>ADVANCED</strong> <strong>SUNCARE</strong> <strong>THROUGH</strong> <strong>ENZYME</strong> TECHNOLOGY<br />

ATEIA® AFTERSUN <strong>SUNCARE</strong> PLUS REPAIR<br />

DNA-repair enzymes plus Nopal cactus<br />

Face & Body Emulsion<br />

Normal to Sensitive Skin<br />

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 deep 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 />

DNA-repair enzymes<br />

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

mechanism in the nuclei of skin cells.<br />

This technique has been copied from nature by an international team of dermatologists<br />

engaged in a research project aimed at developing an innovative sunscreen. As a ‘model’,<br />

the researchers used microbes that have been exposed for thousands of years to very high<br />

levels of UV radiation and have very efficient repair 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* supports the body’s own skin cell repair<br />

mechanisms after sunbathing, and prevents premature ageing or damage of the skin by UV<br />

Radiation.<br />

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

same at night (24 hour action).<br />

Photosomes and Ultrasomes are in the form of liposomes and can therefore penetrate into<br />

deeper layers of the skin. The Nopal cactus can soothe and prevent skin irritation due to its<br />

high polysaccharide content. The preventive effects of the sunscreen are optimised with<br />

Nopasomes®, which also help to give you a natural, darker tan.<br />

Application<br />

After sunbathing, take a shower and apply emulsion liberally to the cleansed skin of the face<br />

and body.
