In response to recent scientific evidence suggesting that High Energy Visible (HEV) light is harmful to skin, Lipo Chemicals, Inc. developed Liposhield, a patent pending ingredient that acts as an “umbrella” to protect skin from the unhealthy effects of HEV light. While the risks associated with HEV light are often discussed in ocular terms, its potential long-term detrimental effects on skin have become an integral part of the conversation.

People are exposed both outdoors and indoors to HEV light, sometimes referred to as “blue light.” Ubiquitous, it emanates not only from the sun, but through the displays of digital devices such as cell phones, computers, tablets and flat-screen TVs. Like HEV’s neighbor on the visible light spectrum, UV radiation, its damaging effects are cumulative over the course of a lifetime. This being the case, the older a person becomes, the more likely he or she will suffer the consequences.

Based on studies showing that exposure to HEV light over time may contribute to premature aging, sunspots, and possibly disease, Liposhield was formulated for use in daily wear moisturizing creams and lotions, anti-aging treatment products, sunscreen products, and foundation makeups. Once applied, it sits on the skin’s surface, effectively absorbing harmful HEV light before it can penetrate skin, while letting in the non-harmful visible light wavelengths. One such study was conducted by Lipo Chemicals, Inc.
