Mibelle Biochemistry's new active, Depolluphane EpiPlus (INCI: Lepidium sativum sprout extract (and) Cynara scolymus (artichoke) leaf extract (and) Pullulan (and) Sodium carboxymethyl betaglucan (and) Caesalpinia spinosa gum (and) Maltodextrin (and) aqua/water), consists of an organic cress sprout extract and an artichoke extract that are combined with a smart polysaccharide complex in order to protect the skin against pollution. 
 

Environmental pollution is one of the main contributing factors toward skin aging and a dull complexion. Pol­lution causes the formation of free radicals in the skin that lead to cell damage, inflammation and accelerated skin aging, according to Mibelle. In addition, recent research has shown that pollution in­fluences the epigenetic signature of cells. Consequently, it is also important to prevent these long­term effects of pollution.
 

The cress sprouts that are used in the production of Depolluphane EpiPlus contain sulforaphane, a molecule that promotes cellular detoxification and the production of antioxidant enzymes. The smart poly­saccharide complex shields the skin from environmental pollution and strengthens the skin barrier to ensure a more resilient skin. In a placebo­ controlled clinical study, it shielded the skin against atmospheric pollution and facilitated the removal of microparticles. The artichoke extract prevents epigenetic changes that are caused by pollution in skin cells.


Working together, these components protect the skin from the immediate, short­- and long­-term effects of pollution, according to Mibelle. Specifically, Depolluphane EpiPlus prevents skin from epigenetic changes; shields skin against particulate matter and activates the skin’s detoxification system. At use levels of 1-2%, it is recommended for anti­pollution formulas, detox city creams and protective day creams and foundations.
