LIPEX® PreAct™

An effective moisturizer, this canola-based bioactive emollient is naturally rich in tocopherols and phytosterols, with documented skin-protecting and barrier-strengthening benefits. Its antioxidant components combine to help prepare and protect the skin against UV radiation (PRE) while actively restoring compromised barrier function (ACT). The composition also provides high inherent stability without the need for additional antioxidants.
 
Produced from non-GMO Swedish canola mass-balance sourced through the ImpAAKtful™ regenerative agriculture program, operating within our segregated supply chain, Lipex PreAct has a reduced carbon footprint supported by third-party verified primary field-level emissions data.

Features and benefits

 

  • Lipex PreAct has a reduced carbon footprint supported by third-party verified primary field-level data that customers can use for agriculture-related Scope 3 emissions reporting under frameworks such as SBTi and CSRD. 
  • An in-vitro study of protein oxidation on epidermal skin cells after UV exposure shows that Lipex PreAct offers significant protection to both proteins and cell membranes and reduces formation of inflammatory mediators. All of which makes it particularly suitable for after-sun and environmental protection formulations.
  • Results on skin explants irradiated by UV further demonstrate the photo-protecting properties. Treatment with a Lipex PreAct cream showed a complete absence of sunburn cells and reduced formation of thymine dimers, indicating DNA protecting capacity.
  • The unique blend of tocopherols and phytosterols has been clinically shown to protect and strengthen the skin barrier after surfactant-induced damage, making Lipex PreAct ideal for skin care applications targeted at sensitive and delicate skin.
  • High oxidative stability provides long shelf life.

UV protecting effect of LIPEX PreAct

 

The results of the study show that Lipex PreAct can help to protect the skin against the harmful effects of UV radiation. Damage markers such as sunburn cells and thymine dimers are suppressed under the experimental conditions. It is important to note that Lipex PreAct does not replace traditional organic and inorganic UV screens. Read the study
