The game-changing Blue Light Elixir is designed to absorb blue light and protect your skin from the damaging effects of blue light while nourishing it with the finest upcycled ingredients. Powered by upcycled Blueberry Seed and Rice Bran Oil, with Squalane, this innovative formula combats oxidative stress, hyperpigmentation, and premature ageing caused by exposure to blue light from both the sun and digital devices. With antioxidant-rich blueberry seed oil sourced from fruit juice waste pulp, our elixir ensures effective protection and hydration, leaving your skin radiant and healthy.
Blue light, or high-energy visible (HEV) light, is emitted by the sun and digital devices like smartphones, computers, tablets, and LED lights. While blue light helps boost alertness, memory, and mood, overexposure can disrupt sleep patterns and lead to skin damage. Research has shown that blue light can cause DNA damage, decrease cell viability, increase reactive oxygen species (ROS), and accelerate skin ageing. Moreover, excessive blue light exposure can increase swelling, redness, and hyperpigmentation, especially in darker skin types.
Recent studies have highlighted the significant impact of blue light on skin health. Findings indicate that exposure to blue light accelerates the ageing process and induces cutaneous hyperpigmentation. Additionally, blue light exposure alters the circadian rhythm of the skin, affecting its repair mechanisms during the night. The key molecules involved in cellular responses to blue light are nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). These unstable chemicals can damage skin cells, leading to inflammation, DNA damage, and the breakdown of collagen and elastin. This process results in skin laxity, premature ageing, and wrinkles. The enzyme matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) activated by blue light further degrade collagen, exacerbating skin ageing. Therefore, protecting the skin from blue light is crucial, especially given the ubiquitous presence of blue light from electronic devices.
- Absorbs and protects skin against blue light damage
- Protects against free radical damage (oxidative stress)
- Blueberry seed oil contains beta-carotene (pro-vitamin A)
- Improves visible signs of ageing
- Brightens skin and promotes even skin tone (hyperpigmentation and dullness)
- Nourishes and supports the skin barrier
- Calms and soothes irritated skin (redness and swellling)
- Anti-inflammatory (beneficial for acne and eczema)
- Boosts collagen production with regular use resulting in firmer, more elastic skin
- Beneficial for oily and dry skin types (sebum regulating)
Hempcelium is created from mycelium, the root system of mushrooms, which acts as a natural glue to bind together materials, creating a strong and resilient structure.
The substrate on which the mycelium grows is the stem of the hemp plant, specifically the inner woody core known as hemp hurd. This part of the hemp plant is often underutilised, but by using hemp hurd sourced from local South African farmers, we are maximising the value of the hemp crop and minimising waste. This approach not only supports local agriculture but also ensures that no new materials are created and no existing resources are wasted.
In recent years, mycelium has gained attention for its potential applications across various industries, including packaging, construction, and biotechnology, as a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional materials. By integrating Hempcelium into our packaging, we are leading the way in innovative, environmentally responsible solutions.
