TANNIC ACID, THE TREE OF LIFE
One of the most majestic trees in our living ecosystem, Sequoia trees, holds one of the best kept secrets to longevity on Earth.
Rich in tannic acid, the Sequoia draws on the resources of this powerful molecule to maintain its vitality and longevity.
ALPHASCIENCE was the first to be able to stabilize this molecule worldwide.
TANNIC ACID DISCOVERY
Dr Marchal got one of his latest inspirations during a trip to a AAD (American Academy of Dermatology) meeting, during a visit the Yosemite National Park and decided to study and stabilize Tannic acid, surprised by the wonderful longevity of Sequoia trees.
In the course of numerous research and studies, our researchers have observed that this active ingredient of the polyphenol family has many unique characteristics that enable it to fight skin aging.
Among the three most powerful naturally occurring antioxidants in the world, Tannic acid helps to stabilize L-ascorbic acid at high concentrations, while providing the anti-aging benefits of polyphenols.
TANNIC ACID
Tannic acid is found in the bark of the Sequoia, one of the most majestic trees in our living ecosystem, and it is no coincidence that this age-old tree holds one of the secrets to longevity on Earth.
Rich in tannic acid, the Sequoia draws on the resources of this powerful molecule to maintain its vitality.
This red-coloured polyphenol ingredient that has a strong antioxidant potential helping Sequoia trees to fight microorganisms and external aggressions.
It is the reason Redwoods have an exceptional lifespan of more than 1000 years.
ITS BENEFITS
Tannic acid, part of our long-term stable and heat resistant pure Vitamin C antioxidant complex, showed unique properties for the skin:
- Protection capacity superior to the best antioxidants.
- Strengthens the vessel walls to reduce vascular fragility
- Effectiveness in treating bruises and redness
- Antibacterial and anti-fungal
- Inhibits the degradation of collagen
- Inhibits advanced glycation
Today, this unique active ingredient stabilized by Dr. Marchal is part of one of the most effective anti-aging solutions in the category of non-invasive treatments.
