Product Description
Description and origin
Elix-IR™ is an advanced cosmetic active designed to protect skin from infrared radiation (IR-A), one of the major hidden factors of photoaging. Unlike traditional UV filters, this active targets deeper layers of the skin, reducing oxidative stress, collagen breakdown, and loss of firmness.
The ingredient is derived from carefully selected botanical extracts and offers broad-spectrum protection while maintaining a natural origin profile. Elix-IR™ is widely used in premium skincare lines focused on urban stress defense, anti-pollution, and anti-aging solutions.
