Holistic support for skin, cell protection, and the immune system *
The skin is not only our outer covering but also an active protective barrier against external influences. UV radiation, in particular, is considered a major stress factor, associated with oxidative stress and increased strain on skin cells. Dry air, ozone, diet, and lifestyle choices can also have long-term effects on skin appearance.
While external sun protection remains important, there is growing interest in supporting the normal function of the skin through targeted micronutrient intake. Providing the skin with essential nutrients can be an integral part of a holistic skincare approach.
Uwemba-Pastilles® Sun & Skin Protection
Uwemba-Pastilles® Sun & Skin Protection was developed to meet this need. It contains:
-
Beta-carotene (provitamin A)
-
Vitamins C, D3, and E
-
Lutein, lycopene, Polypodium leucotomos, and green tea extract
These micronutrients contribute to scientifically validated functions:
-
Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.
-
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin.
-
Vitamin C and vitamin E contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
-
Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
The formulation is particularly suitable during periods of intense sun exposure – whether in daily life, on holiday, or during sports activities – and as a daily supplement to support skin health within a health-conscious lifestyle.
Uwemba-Pastilles® Sun & Skin Protection support this effect.
Polypodium Leucotomos extracts have been used to treat psoriasis in South America and Spain. Increasing clinical-scientific evidence suggests that P. leucotomos can also be used to treat various skin diseases and conditions because it provides protection from ultraviolet radiation by preventing polymorphic light eruption.
Beta-carotene assists with skin problems that may be caused by photosensitivity.
Note

Golden polypody
Polypodium leucotomos
Origin
Polypodium Leucotomos is commonly referred to as Calaguala or Golden polypody. It is usually cultivated in Central America. Extracts from this plant are called anapsos.
Use in folk medicine
Polypodium leucotomos has a long history of traditional use in South America and Spain, where it has been incorporated into plant-based health practices. Historical applications describe its use in supporting the natural balance of the skin.
Recent scientific research is investigating the potential of Polypodium leucotomos extracts in the context of skin health and natural protection against environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation. These traditional uses and scientific findings are based on preliminary studies and do not constitute confirmed medical effects.
