Explore the skin care science of Baicalin
So how does this wonder anti-wrinkle active work? Well, Baicalin’s anti-ageing benefits work at a cellular level (deep within the skin) and help to protect Telomeres, the protein caps that sit at the end of your chromosomes and act a bit like the plastic caps on your shoelaces by protecting your DNA during cell division.
Why is this important? Well, when your skin cells divide, Telomeres become damaged. Your cells then become shorter and shorter until, eventually, cell division stops, leading to the visible signs of ageing.
During your childhood and teens, Telomere damage is less of an issue because you’ll naturally produce Telomerase, an enzyme that helps to counteract the Telomere shortening. Unfortunately, most of us will have stopped producing Telomerase by our mid-late twenties.
That’s where Baicalin comes into the picture. *Studies have shown Baicalin can stimulate the production of new Telomerase enzymes. Incredibly this can help to restore skin to the state it was ten years ago!
Baicalin re-stimulates the production of telomerase in adult skin cells, reducing the damage to telomeres, and can increase by 10% the number of cell duplications in skin fibroblasts before they finally die. The effect of this is to restore skin to the state it would have been ten years earlier.” Charlotte Vøhtz, founder of Green People
