Pollution and solar radiation in the form of UV, infrared and blue light are the main culprits of age acceleration of the skin. Today, 99% of the population is exposed to polluted air. 
 
Recent studies have revealed that outdoor pollution has increased by 8% in the last five years and 80% to fine particles. The impact of pollution on the skin results when pollution leads to chain reactions, which leads to oxidative stress. This can result in the alteration of the skin barrier, lack of cellular oxygenation, inflammation, destruction of the extracellular matrix and the stimulation of melanocytes. 
 
In addition to pollution, the sun’s harmful rays, depending on the wavelength, can also lead to damage in the form of UV, infrared and blue light. According to the brand, consumers are exposed to an average of six hours under artificial blue light. The damage can be extensive.
 
Vital Defense Multi-Protection Mist developed by Yon-Ka Paris, a skincare brand created by Laboratoires Multaler, is a hybrid product that produces an anti-aggression shield. The mist is non-comedogenic, vegan and dermatologist tested. 
 

Natural Components

The skincare mist is composed of 99% natural ingredients to help boost skin’s self-defense systems. It deposits a protective veil on the epidermis against aggressions, while letting the skin breathe, brand officials say. It also limits the adhesion and penetration of polluting substances and the damage caused by invisible particles. 
 
Obtained by biotechnology from the fermentation of a natural sorbitol and a yeast extract, this complex sugar is a high molecule weight polysaccharide. Possessing a unique matrix structure which instantly forms a protective film on the skin’s surface, this breathable, homogenous resistance and invisible second-skin acts as a barrier against atmospheric pollution and limits the appearance of premature aging and the skin disorders caused by them. 

Active Ingredients in Yon-Ka Paris Mist

The Butterfly tree is a scrub widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. Yon-Ka Laboratories have selected it for its exceptional richness in polyphenols, which give it photoprotective properties. It absorbs the majority of rays and inhibits the excessive production of free radicals which cause oxidative stress. It stimulates cellular detoxification mechanisms, reduces free radicals and inflammation mediators. As a 360-degree photoprotector, it prevents premature photoaging. 
 
Sophora Japonica is recognized as a powerful antioxidant. This natural active ingredient provides a dual action; it stimulates the dermo-epidermal self-defense systems and activates skin regeneration to help it resist oxidative stress.
