Dolcepura Innovation: Lycopene in cosmetics

Personal care and above all caring of ones skin, appears to be of fundamental importance today; thinking about one’s well-being and making oneself a priority in the list of “daily duties” is a gesture that comes from the most genuine and profound affection.

This need has led to a radical change in consumer habits and requests, increasingly directed towards the purchase of highly qualified products, capable of preserving the natural balance of the skin and of the totally natural components not contaminated by chemical or harmful agents.

The Dolcepura line was born from the desire to follow this guideline, and aims to keep up with the innovations that the cosmetics market offers, leveraging a sort of “push-pull” between nature and science capable of offering ever more performing solutions and to respond to specific needs.

To obtain products with a very high concentration of active ingredients and to ensure that they are prestigious and considerably superior in quality to the current cosmetics on the market, Dolcepura relies on innovation: every single component used by the company in its products remains unchanged and indeed enhanced, leaving the simple category of “cosmetic” and returning to the one called “dermocosmetics”

Therefore, where “cosmetics” try to cover up and cover the problems affecting the skin, dermo-cosmetics provide, acting like a drug directly from the inside, treating our skin in order to enhance its natural beauty and vitality. In fact, dermocosmetics does not “cover” the problem, but it helps to prevent and cure it.

Dolcepura innovation: Lycopene in cosmetics

Lycopene is a “carotenoid” responsible for the red color of tomatoes and other yellow and red pigments characteristic of some fruits and vegetables. According to numerous scientific studies, it is possible to affirm that lycopene is a high source of anti-oxidant agents, molecules capable of capturing free radicals that act directly on cell membranes, regenerating them.

Dolcepura makes use of this unique feature and applies it to its dermo-cosmetics; through advanced research on extraordinary natural components it has become a world leader for its unique formulation, strictly connected to the production and extraction technology of lycopene, we discover how:

UNIQUE FORMULATION OF 100% ORGANIC LYCOPENE

Lycopene as a nutraceutical product, up to now only two industrial production methods were possible: the extraction of lycopene with organic solvents and chemical synthesis. However, this review presents today a third and completely innovative “chemical-free” procedure.

This is the result of a project involving private and public partners such as the University of Salento, CNR-ISPA and the Italian Ministry of Research: the biological lycopene contained in Dolcepura products is produced by “biosynthesis” in plants and extracted with a completely innovative process that does not use any chemical or harmful solvents. The biological lycopene obtained with this new extraction method is therefore in no way contaminated with solvents and has a high concentration of antioxidant and bio-active molecules.

Very important thing to keep in mind is that all Dolcepura products have far greater antioxidant activity than any other formulation containing lycopene extracted, for example, by synthetic or natural means of equal concentration.

The result? A 100% made in Italy product certified as totally organic, recognized and multi-patented!

Biological lycopene and skin protection

Dolcepura dermo-cosmetics enhance their already extraordinary protective effect on the skin thanks to the addition of 100% organic lycopene: in-depth scientific studies show that topical administration of lycopene is able to increase the antioxidant power of the skin and that this extraordinary molecule has a protective effect from chronic damage, from photo-exposure and can perform anticancer actions.

The biological lycopene extracted with the innovative method used by the dermo-cosmetic company Dolcepura therefore contains highly bio-active molecules and the total absence of toxic-harmful organic solvents, once again confirming its mission, that of obtaining topical products from the very high concentration of active ingredients, higher than current cosmetics on the world market.
