Cell Whitening from ZELL-V

Advance UVA Defense

Form: Cream

Size: 50ml pump bottle

UV light is typically found as part of the radiation received by the Earth from the Sun. Most humans are aware of the effects of UV through the painful condition of sunburn. The UV spectrum has many other effects, including both beneficial and damaging changes to human health.

The Sun emits ultraviolet radiation in the UVA, UVB, and UVC bands. UVB and UVC are the ultraviolet radiation from the sun that causes sunburn to the skin but 98.7% of the ultraviolet radiation that reaches the Earth's surface is UVA.

UVB and UVC, which highly are responsible for the direct DNA damage that leads to skin dryness, wrinkles, rapid ageing of the skin and skin cancer.

An overexposure to UVB radiation can cause sunburn and some forms of skin cancer. In humans, prolonged exposure to solar UV radiation may result in acute and chronic health effects on the skin, eye, and immune system. However the most deadly form - malignant melanoma - is mostly caused by the indirect DNA damage (free radicals and oxidative stress).

Too little UVB radiation leads to a lack of Vitamin D. Too much UVB radiation leads to direct DNA damages and sunburn. An appropriate amount of UVB (What is appropriate depends on your skin colour) leads to a limited amount of direct DNA damage. This is recognized and repaired by the body. Then the melanin production is increased which leads to a long lasting tan but it is much less harmful and long lasting than the one obtained from UVA.

In the past UVA was considered less harmful, but today it is known, that it can contribute to rapid skin ageing via the indirect DNA damage (free radicals and reactive oxygen species). It penetrates deeply but it does not cause sunburn. UVA does not damage DNA directly like UVB and UVC, but it can generate highly reactive chemical intermediates, such as hydroxyl and oxygen radicals, which in turn can damage DNA. Therefore, UVA is capable of causing damage to collagen fibers and destroying vitamin A in skin and it is important that sunscreen blocks include UVA filters. Some scientists blame the absence of UVA filters in sunscreens for the higher melanoma-risk (cancer) that was found for sunscreen users.

UVA, UVB and UVC can all damage collagen fibers and thereby accelerate aging of the skin but UVA destroys vitamin A in skin which may cause further damage.

Sunscreen lotion products prevent the direct DNA damage which causes sunburn. Most of these products contain an SPF rating to show how well they block UVB rays. The SPF rating, however, offers no data about UVA protection.

In the US, the FDA is considering adding a star rating system to show UVA protection. Sunscreen lotions should now include compounds such as titanium dioxide which helps protect against UVA rays.

Sunscreen (also known as sunblock) is a lotion or other topical product that absorbs or reflects the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and protects the skin. Medical organizations such as the American Cancer Society highly recommend the use of such sunscreens. In the United States in 1999, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decided to institute the labelling of SPF 30+ for sunscreens offering more protection.

Cell whitening meets all the requirements of what are needed to give maximum protection to the skin. Cell whitening has the combined benefits of a sunscreen and a moisturizer; it nourishes the skin with its active skin soothing composition while protecting the skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. With its special formulation, Cell whitening has strong capabilities in absorbing the harmful UVB and especially the UVA rays of the sun, protecting the skin from damage and discoloration. It has 7.5% of Octyl Methooxycinnamate, an organic compound that absorbs the UVB rays at the epidermis of the skin. With 10% Titanium Dioxide as active ingredient, Cell whitening reflects, scatters, and absorbs the harmful UVA rays.

Besides protecting, Cell whitening keeps the skin smooth and supple with its array of moisturizing ingredients like Jojoba seed oil, Olive fruit oil, Aloe vera, Witch hazel, Matricana and Vitamin E. It also lightens the skin and resists pigmentation caused by the UV rays.

Cell whitening special formulation is long wearing and is protective up 10 hours.

MAKE-UP AT ITS BEST FROM WITHIN - MY SKIN CARE REGIME ~ LANNI JOJOBA OIL FROM ZELL-V

To have beautiful skin, one must give one's skin the right WAX!

Lanni jojoba oil is what I call ~ MIRACLE OIL! I use jojoba oil from head to toe!

This is how I maintain my skin's age!

LANNI JOJOBA OIL from ZELL-V

Jojoba (pronounced ho-ho-ba) oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the crushed bean of the jojoba shrub (Simmondsia chinenis). The jojoba shrub is native to the Sonoran Desert of northwestern Mexico and neighboring regions in Arizona and southern California.

The chemical structure of jojoba oil is different from that of other vegetable oils. Rather than being an oil, it is actually is a polyunsaturated liquid wax. As a wax, jojoba oil is especially useful for applications that require moisture control, protection, and emolliency. Jojoba oil is liquid at room temperature because of its unsaturated fatty acids. It does not oxidize or become rancid and does not break down under high temperatures and pressures.

Natural jojoba oil serves as an excellent moisturizing agent with exceptional spread and lubrication properties and leaves a rich velvety non-oily feel on the skin while retarding water loss and enhancing the flexibility and suppleness of the skin.

Jojoba oil is similar to, and miscible with, sebum, which is secreted by human sebaceous glands to lubricate and protect skin and hair. When sebum production decreases due to age, pollutants, or environmental stresses, jojoba oil can be used to replicate sebum oil.

Jojoba oil when used on the skin, forms a very thin, non-greasy lipoid layer.

This layer is partially porous and provides exceptional trans-epidermal respiration and moisture control. Unlike greasy occlusive materials such as petrolatum, mineral oils and some lanolin products, jojoba oil provides an absolutely non-tacky, non-oily and non-greasy, dry softening to the skin.

It also significantly reduces trans-epidermal water loss, without totally blocking the transpiration of gases and water vapor.

Uncover the Mystery of Jojoba Oil

Do you know that jojoba shrubs have gender difference too? There are male and female shrubs; and only the female shrubs can produce fruits and seeds. However, out of every 10 shrubs only 4 are female. Each jojoba shrub needs approximately 15 years to reach its full maturity and begins to produce fruits. All of these have made it a very precious plant.   

Jojoba oil is not really an oil, and in fact it is a wax despite its name! Scientists have discovered that jojoba oil is a natural golden liquid wax ester, a compound of alcohol polymers and fatty acids, which can prevent excess evaporation of the skin’s moisture. Jojoba wax ester is extremely stable. It will not decompose upon exposure to strong light and heat, not easily oxidized or turn rancid.

More importantly, the molecular structure of jojoba oil is very similar to human sebum (the skin's own moisturizer).  It will be immediately absorbed after being applied to the skin, leaving no residue, no pore-clogging, no greasy feeling and no allergies. It is suitable for all skin types.

The hydrophilic characteristic of Jojoba oil also enables it to regulate the skin’s moisture levels. Thus, it is the most perfect remedy for dry skin.
