Active in DDF Silky C 

The xanthophyll lutein functions in plants and humans as a filter of high energy blue light and as an antioxidant that quenches and scavenges photo-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS). Lutein is used by our body but we cannot make it, we need to obtain it from food or apply it topically. Although its main role seems to be vision (in the lens and macula lutea of the eye), lutein may also provide protection against UV -induced erythema and inflammation and wrinkling. It would also help maintain skin hydration, smoothness and elasticity.

Use: we suggest you add a quarter or half teaspoon to 4 oz. of cream or lotion and mix well.
