It becomes more and more clear that the environment and especially solar radiation, affects the skin function, skin aging and appearance.
The contribution of photo- aging to the skin aging process is enormous. Photo-aging is associated with deep wrinkles, pigmentation and uneven skin tone. The regulations for solar products in many countries, and especially the demand for much higher protection in the range of UV-A, is now stricter than in the past.
UV-A is the range of the longer wavelength of the UV radiation (320-400 nm). UV-B is the range of the shorter wavelength of the UV radiation (290-320 nm).
Although UV-A radiation is less energetic than the UV -B radiation, it is about 95% of the total UV radiation that reaches Earth. Its intensity is fairly constant throughout the day and it penetrates through windows and reaches deeper layers of skin (the dermis). It is clear now, that UV -A radiation, although not causing sunburn, massively accelerates skin aging.
UV-B radiation causes direct sunburn and serious damage to the tissue (photoaging,
immunosuppression and some types of cancer). The protection rate against UV-B is expressed by the Sun Protection Factor (SPF). This value is determined clinically, where the product is tested for its effectiveness in preventing/delaying the formation of skin reaction (erythema) in humans during exposure to UV radiation.
It is important to understand that the sun protection factor (SPF) does not reflect at all the protection
rate in the range of UV–A. A separate method is therefore required to express the level of protection
in this range.
The European regulation introduced the UVA-PF (UV-A Protection Factor). In order to ensure an effective broad-spectrum protection, the European regulation requires that the protection in UV-A will be at least one third of the claimed SPF of the product. This means that the ratio UVA-PF/SPF should be at least 0.33

- Active ingredients for effective moisturization and regeneration: hyaluronic acid (a highly effective moisturizer) and Coenzyme Q10, an anti-oxidant that protects cell membranes from free radicals and allows its proper function. Co – Enzyme Q10 is involved in the process of energy production in the cells and thus increases the vitality of the tissue. Coenzyme Q10 protects the collagen and other proteins that support skin structure by inhibiting the activity of harmful MMP enzymes.
In addition, the product is enriched with vitamin E, panthenol, and allantoin to provide further care.

Description
Broad UV-B and UV-A Protection Dermatologically tested for sensitive skin Optimal protection of the lips during all seasons – cold and warm.
The skin of the lips differs from the skin of the face mainly in the following parameters:
- The Stratum Corneum (Latin for ‘horny layer’) of the lips skin is very thin (consists of a small number of layers).
- There are no hair follicles and sebaceous glands on the lips.
- There are considerably less melanocytes (the cells that synthesize the pigment melanin).
The lips pink shade results from the blood vessels under the skin, which is thin and contains little amount of pigments. Furthermore, the lips are rich with sensorial receptors and nerves endings, thus, it is a sensitive zone. All these characteristics make the lips more sensitive to environmental factors such as moisture, temperature, weather conditions and UV irradiation. The lips tend to become dry and chapped. UV irradiation damages the lips, causing collagen deterioration, wrinkles, premature aging and sometimes even more severe disorders. Solar Zone Nourishing Protective Lipstick was specially developed to restore and to protect the lips effectively from environmental factors.
