The compound itself is said to generate the photosynthesis process in baby spinach. <br /><br /><br />In clinical trials this extract of baby spinach has been proven to have distinct anti-ageing qualities at the cellular level, which should make it highly effective in targeted anti-ageing creams and sunscreens. <br /><br /><br />Specifically the compound has shown the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that are prerequisites for targeted and functional skin care lines on the markets. <br /><br /><br />Indeed, the company says that initially it is planning to manufacture two anti-ageing creams and a sunscreen at the facility, which will be aimed at the premium end of the market and likely to be categorized as cosmeceuticals.Nadine Lumleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591663475427502169noreply@blogger.com
