What is it?

Wastar™ Lavender is a sustainable active ingredient obtained as a by-product from fragrance manufacturing, which acts to protect the skin from indoor pollution. Rich in antioxidant polyphenols, it neutralizes free radicals, fighting oxidative stress.

What is this for?

Wastar™ Lavender works to counteract the damage caused by indoor environmental pollution, improving skin health and appearance:
- Antioxidant Activity: reduces free radical production, limiting oxidative stress.
- Skin Barrier Protection: reinforces the lipid barrier, preventing dryness and dehydration.
- Inflammation Reduction: soothes irritations caused by polluting agents.

Its targeted action makes it perfect for protecting skin in enclosed, urban environments.

Indoor air pollution is a phenomenon often underestimated but extremely relevant: the air in enclosed spaces can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. Fine particulate matter, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and chemical agents from furniture, paints and electronic equipment are among the main causes of:
- Oxidative stress: the formation of free radicals accelerates skin aging.
- Skin barrier damage: the skin becomes more vulnerable to irritation and dehydration.
- Chronic inflammation: redness and sensitivity can worsen over time, leading to a dull, fatigued complexion.
In this context, Wastar™ Lavender represents an innovative and sustainable solution. Derived from lavender production waste (a process that makes it a low environmental impact ingredient), this active ingredient is naturally rich in polyphenols, powerful antioxidants capable of neutralizing free radicals and protecting the skin from environmental damage. Thanks to its targeted action, it leaves the skin looking healthier, brighter and more even-toned.
