EMSA Esencias Moles has developed HEVen Light Shield, a technological innovation designed to protect the skin against the blue light of screens.
The blue light from screens has become the "silent enemy" that accelerates the oxidative stress of our skin 365 days a year. "HEVen Light Shield offers effective defense against blue light from screens and opening new possibilities for brands to develop ‘two-in-one’ products that are both pleasant and protective” states Alex Moles, General Manager and third generation of EMSA, Esencias Moles.
The proposal is framed within a line of research that seeks to transfer this type of assets to future cosmetic formulations, in a context in which cosmetics increasingly incorporates the impact of digital exposure on the skin.
The company has worked with a reference model in makeup setting mist format, where technology is integrated as a development concept. As part of the presentation, a visual demonstration was carried out in which, when illuminating the mist with a blue light laser, it could be observed that the version without the ingredient lets light pass through, while the one formulated with the innovation blocks it almost completely, clearly demonstrating its protective effect.
The studies developed by the R&D team of EMSA confirm that this technology is capable of absorbing more than 99% of blue light and at the same time also protects Staphylococcus epidermidis, one of the beneficial bacteria that act as natural defense of the skin.
