GLUCOSE OXIDASE and OXIDASE, GLUCOSE
What is Oxidoreductase used for?
Oxidoreductases are enzymes which cause or accelerate antioxidant activity. By removing hydrogen atoms and electrons from within skin they enable antioxidants to reduce the degradation of collagen and elastin ‚Äì a process which leads to aging. Although not antioxidants by themselves, oxidoreductases (of which 221 are known) work like biochemical cogs to enable the transfer of molecules from one molecule (known as a reductant, hydrogen or electron donor) to another (known as a oxidant, hydrogen or electron acceptor). The oxidoreductases used in Bellatorra products produce “optimal fuel” for prolonged antioxidant activity and greater skin tolerance by supplementing enzymes required for antioxidant activity rather than drawing them from within skin. They do not cause skin irritation which is important as skin irritation gives rise to an inflammatory cascade which produces accelerated skin aging, the opposite of what antioxidant supplementation aims to achieve. When used in combination with antioxidants, oxidoreductases can provide photoprotective and anti-inflammatory activity, making them suitable for use on sensitive or reactive skin. When used in combination with antioxidants, oxidoreductases can provide photoprotective and anti-inflammatory activity, making them suitable for use on sensitive or reactive skin. By combining antioxidants and oxidoreductases Bellatorra products are able to provide heightened skin lightening properties compared with antioxidants alone with no increase in irritation.
