The Science of NütriSkin

 

At NütriSkin, we believe that effective skin care starts from within. Our formula is backed by scientific research and formulated with four powerful ingredients that have been clinically studied for their benefits in promoting skin health, supporting sun protection, pigment normalization and anti-aging. Here’s a closer look at the science behind each ingredient:

Polypodium Leucotomos

Polypodium Leucotomos is a tropical fern that has been extensively studied for its role in sun protection. It works by reducing oxidative stress and supporting the skin’s natural defense mechanisms against UV damage. PLE has been shown to:

  • Increase skin’s resistance to UV-induced erythema (sunburn).
  • Help reduce photoaging and protect skin cells from UV-induced oxidative stress.

Key Studies:

  1. Bhatia et al., 2015: This review discusses the sun-protective properties of Polypodium Leucotomos and its potential in preventing UV-induced skin damage.
  2. Thompson et al., 2024: In this study, oral supplementation with Polypodium Leucotomos was shown to significantly increase the minimal erythema dose (MED), the amount of UV exposure required to cause redness in the skin.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

Niacinamide (also called, "Nicotinamide") is a water-soluble form of Vitamin B3 that is essential for maintaining healthy skin. It is renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to repair DNA damage. Niacinamide has been shown to:

  • Reduce hyperpigmentation and improve skin tone by inhibiting melanin transfer.
  • Help support prevention of non-melanoma skin cancers by enhancing DNA repair in sun-damaged skin.

Key Studies:

  1. Chen et al., 2015: This landmark study found that oral niacinamide reduced the incidence of new non-melanoma skin cancers by 23% in high-risk individuals.
  2. Bridi et al., 2024: A study demonstrating the benefits of niacinamide in improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that plays a vital role in skin health by neutralizing free radicals and supporting the production of collagen. When taken orally, Vitamin C helps:

  • Protect the skin from UV-induced oxidative damage.
  • Improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Key Studies:

  1. Pullar et al., 2017: A review of the role of Vitamin C in collagen synthesis and its ability to protect against UV damage.
  2. Farris et al., 2005: This study showed that orally ingested Vitamin C can reduce the effects of chronic sun exposure.

Green Tea Extract (EGCG)

Green Tea Extract, particularly its active component EGCG, is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It has been widely studied for its role in protecting the skin from UV-induced damage and promoting a clear, healthy complexion. Benefits include:

  • Reducing the severity of acne and inflammation.
  • Providing protection against UV-induced oxidative stress.

Key Studies:

  1. Oyetakin-White et al., 2012: This review explores the protective mechanisms of Green Tea Polyphenols in skin, particularly in UV protection.
  2. Vayalil et al., 2004: Demonstrates how oral administration of Green Tea Extract can help reduce UVB-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in the skin.

The Convenience of Oral Sun Protection

At NütriSkin, we understand the importance of simplicity and convenience in your skincare routine. That’s why we’ve combined these powerful ingredients into a single, easy-to-take daily supplement. Instead of relying solely on topical products, which can be difficult to reapply throughout the day, NütriSkin provides all-day support from within. Whether you’re spending time in the sun or seeking to improve your skin’s overall appearance, NütriSkin is designed to support your skin’s health from every angle.

Note: While these ingredients have been shown to support skin health and provide protection against UV-induced damage, NütriSkin should be used in conjunction with topical sunscreen for comprehensive sun protection.
