Product Description
Description and features
Elix-IR™ is an advanced cosmetic ingredient developed to fight the hidden effects of infrared radiation (IR-A), one of the main triggers of premature skin aging. Unlike classic UV filters, this active protects the deeper skin layers, where IR-A damages collagen and elastin. By reducing oxidative stress, it helps preserve skin resilience and youth.
The ingredient is plant-based and has strong antioxidant capacity, making it an ideal component for next-generation formulations targeting anti-aging, anti-stress, and anti-pollution care.
