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.
