Silab’s Longevicell has been developed from myrtle, a scented white flower Mediterranean shrub that has been prized traditionally for its rejuvenating properties.
Silab says Longevicell acts on the molecular mechanisms involved in cell and tissue longevity and delays cellular senescence phenomena and limits dermal degeneration. The ingredient functions by stimulating SIRT-1 synthesis and universal longevity proteins, restoring normal function to caveolins-1 and by acting to block the phenomenon of protein glycation, thus preserving the functioning of skin tissues.
Uses of myrtle essential oil date back to ancient Greece and Rome, where it was used to prepare youth preserving Angel Water.
Silab recommends the product in all anti-ageing care products designed for mature skin.
