ZURICH, Switzerland—RHAN AG launched PROTEOLEA®, an ingredient that reverses the signs of aging around the eye area. PROTEOLEA counteracts the first signs of aging by blending olive leaf extract with oleuropein. This activates the proteasome, the natural recycling system of skin cells which slows down with age. Excessive cellular waste such as oxidized proteins can be degraded more efficiently. Extracted from the Chinese date (jujube), PROTEOLEA enhances the anti-oxidative defense system of the skin, thus preventing the formation of oxidized proteins. The polysaccharide levan builds a tightening film on the skin.
PROTEOLEA markedly improves various symptoms of pre-mature skin aging such as skin roughness, hydration and reduced cell renewal and rejuvenates the appearance of the eye area. PROTEOLEA is designed for use in most all types of anti-aging products for the face and body. It is water soluble and can be easily incorporated into cosmetic formulations such as creams, gels and emulsions.
