| 6 Claims |
1. Excessive exposure to sunlight is dangerous but lack of it can be unsafe too
Communicating too much about the harmful effects of sunlight can make us forget its positive effects. However,
humankind cannot live without sunlight .
Insufficiency of UV rays triggers a shortage of vitamin D synthesis, melatonin deficiency, implicated in seasonal
depressions and worsens hyper-sensitivity phenomena.
2. Adapting the skin to sunlight rather than overprotecting it
The skin intuitively recognizes that it needs sunlight. Therefore it has learned to adapt itself, especially by using
hyper-reactive self-defense systems.
These defense systems lose their functionality with the application of sun block creams. The skin then loses its
adaptation ability.
The Photo Cellular Care line re-educates the skin to adapt to sunlight.
This is the unique foundation upon which Institut Esthederm creates sun care products.
3. Tanning is the best protection
It is the skin’s natural defense system.
At the origin of tanning is melanin, a colored pigment with exceptional UV and free radical absorption properties. It
deactivates the sun’s harmful effects at the base.
4. Tanning does not age the skin
Tanning is a natural skin reaction which protects the skin against sunlight.
It sometimes comes with side effects which can be harmful if not neutralized by the skin’s self-defense abilities.
Photo Cellular Care products are focused on the neutralization of the sun’s harmful effects while stimulating the skin’
s natural self-defense abilities, including tanning. In this way, Institut Esthederm creates tanning sun care products.
5. Inequality of skin type is not a fatality.
Our expertise in skin biology allows for re-educating even the most sensitive skin type and normalizing its reaction to
sunlight.
Its adaptation is concerned with enabling it to tolerate progressive sun radiations while controlling its hyper-sensitivity.
6. SPF index is not enough
The SPF index measures the risk of sunburn but neither the risks of aging nor the photo-aging sensitivity.
A skin can age without sunburn; hence without warning.
True to Institut Esthederm’s youth claim, the Photo Cellular Care line prevents and repairs skin aging while
controlling inflammation

KNOWING SUNLIGHT IS NECESSARY TO CONTROL IT…
•When UV rays reach the skin they can induce direct and indirect harmful biological
reactions.
•Biological targets of direct and indirect (via free radicals) are primarily:
–Cell membranes’ unsaturated lipids, altered by fat-peroxidation, which lie at
the origin of the inflammation.
–DNA, with the breaking of strands responsible for the genome alteration.
–Proteins, whose loss of functionality accelerate photo-aging.
Consequences: These many cell aggressions are visibly shown by sunburns and
the skin’s accelerated aging, also called “photo-aging”
reactions.

| THE SKIN EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT Knowing skin is necessary to re-educate it… |
To benefitfrom the positive effects of sunlight while
preserving itselffrom harmful effects, human skin has to
adaptgradually while losing its primitive “coat”.
Complex protection strategies have been gradually put in
place with…
The skin exposed to sunlight
The tan:
–The skin’sself-adaptation system to the sun.
–Based on the control of melanin production, a pigment acting as a natural anti-UV
ray filter.
–Protecting the DNA using the ”capping” process (protection of the nucleus).
•Natural self-defense systems:
–Against INDIRECT aggressionswith:
•anti-radicals systems (anti-ROS)
–Against DIRECT aggressions or when anti-radicals defenses have not been
sufficient, with:
•Anti-inflammatory factors
•DNA direct protection and reparation
•Reparation of damaged proteins

UV inCellium self-protection systems:
‒Anti-radicals protection: protects the cells from a possible excess
of free radicals by stimulating the skin’s anti-oxidizing own defenses,
by bringing the necessary secondary anti-oxidants (Vitamin E) and by
trapping the radicals species formed.

of free radicals by stimulating the skin’s anti-oxidizing own defenses,

| This protection is the core as it neutralizes UV rays indirect aggressions. It also participates in the DNA, cells and inflammation protection. |
‒DNA protection: preserves DNA integrity by trapping free radicals
and by optimizing protection mechanisms at stake.
‒Anti-inflammatory protection:helps the skin to protect itself against
UV inflammation, induced by stimulating its own endogenous anti-
inflammatory mechanisms. Essential efficiency, as recent research
shows, the implication of inflammatory phenomenon on skin aging and
on the development process of malignant tumors.
‒HSP Synthesis: protects skin tissue by stimulating HSP70s,
chaperone molecules necessary to repair damaged proteins. The rapid
presence of HSP70 in the skin protected by UV inCellium will allow the
cells to repair themselves quickly, hence avoiding inflammatory or
oxidative consequences.

Adaptasun
ADAPTASUN technology, exclusive tanning re-education patent.
•It acts at all stages of the pigmentation process: induction, synthesis and melanin
distribution, a pigment at the origin of tanning, which is a biological ultra-efficient UV ray
filter, as well, as a natural DNA and anti-ROS protector.
Modes of Action:
‒Stimulation of melanogenesis’ induction: ADAPTASUN (biomimetic hexapeptide)
activates the production of melanin, by acting as a bait: it holds onto the MCR-1
receptor, present on the melanocyte, the same way α-MSH (messenger inducing
pigmentation) would do. This holding action triggers numerous reactions leading to
melanin synthesis.
‒Activation of melanin synthesis: ADAPTASUN (trace elements and specific amino
acids: tyrosine precursors + copper) stimulates tyrosinase, melanogenesis key enzyme
allowing the transformation of L-Tyrosine (essential amino acid) into L-dopa then into
Dopaquinone, the common precursor of melanin; it also brings stabilized Tyrosines (1
fat-soluble and 1 hydro-soluble) which are melanin precursor substrates.
‒Improvement of melanocyte melanin transfer to the keratinocyte:by increasing
the melanocytes’ dendricity, (Vitamin F + Diol) encourages the homogenous
distribution of melanin in the epidermis, hence encouraging the homogenous spreading
of pigments in the epidermis.
Clinical efficiency evidence:
•Increase the speed of tanning, its intensity and durability
