Moringa Anti-Smog Face Cream: Smooth and Pure in Just a Few Steps
October 17, 2023
Thanks to the action of a protein pipetide, Moringa anti-smog cream cleanses and protects the skin from harmful environmental influences such as pollution, light, blue light, the effects of heavy metals and much more.
Find out more about how the cream works and who the main enemies of skin aging are.

City skin, what is it and how to protect it
Dubbed 'city skin' because of its premature aging due to constant exposure to various sources of pollution in an urban environment, our epidermis is under attack from multiple fronts. If not properly protected, it can suffer serious damage.
Nowadays, the skin's enemies are no longer just UVA and UVB rays, but also environmental pollution from external and internal smog as well as the so-called 'digital aging'.
Let's see what these harmful factors consist of and, above all, how we can protect ourselves from the attacks that our skin is subjected to every day to restore its purity and youthfulness.
The main enemies of the skin are in the air
Smog
blue light
particulate matter
Volatile Organic Compounds (COV)
Environmental pollution (heavy metals)
Infrared rays, UVA, UVB
All of these elements represent not only more or less visible constant damage to the epidermis, but also risk factors for the development of actual diseases.
When skin suffers the effects of premature aging, the signs are visible to the naked eye. In fact, the skin can show the following characteristics:
Frosted
Lackluster
Dry
With more wrinkles
With skin discoloration (skin spots)
We may notice that the skin loses tone and elasticity and feels tight. This is not necessarily due to a lack of moisture, but rather to the use of products that are not effective and do not specifically protect against the damage caused by pollution.
According to data from the organization Global Carbon Project, 92% of the world's population breathes polluted air, which is full of gases and metals in fine particles, including microscopic particles that are present in the enclosed spaces where we spend most of our time.
It is obvious that the poor air quality, saturated with substances toxic to the respiratory system, is also harmful to the skin, as it absorbs these substances and suffers damage.
Skin aging: environment and lifestyle versus genetic factors
While it was once widely accepted, including at a scientific level, that genetic factors influence the quality of the skin and skin aging, today we have to be taught better.
In fact, environment and lifestyle can influence skin condition as much as genetic factors, as explained in recent findings published in the scientific journal 'Le Scienze'.
Smog as a big enemy of the skin
Smog and particularly fine dust particles have a negative impact on skin health and can cause diseases such as atopic dermatitis, which manifests itself as annoying itching. This is dry skin combined with itching due to excessive water loss.
Pollution leads to excessive sebum production as it compromises the skin's natural protective barrier. As a result, the skin becomes oilier and more prone to irritation. In addition, the loss of water promotes the appearance of wrinkles as the skin actually dries out more and more.
Smog, derived from the English terms 'smoke' and 'fog', has been identified as one of the main causes of skin aging and the increase in facial spots, according to Professor Jean Krutmann, director of the Leibniz Institute for Environmental medicine in Germany, was shown in his studies. In fact, smog and the microparticulate NO2 (nitrogen dioxide)-rich substances it contains, which are transported in the air and absorbed by the facial skin, trigger degenerative aging processes.
Anti-smog face cream with Moringa: Effective anti-aging because it protects the skin from pollution
The Moringa face cream protects against smog and is developed and manufactured in Italy. Specially designed to protect the skin from environmental pollution, it offers enhanced anti-aging effects thanks to the combination of hyaluronic acid and ceramides.
With a natural content of 98.8%, it is effective against both pollution and skin aging and is based on a natural peptide found in moringa, particularly in the microproteins of the seeds. According to dermatological tests and clinical studies, it has achieved significant results, with purifying effects on skin exposed to smog, cigarette smoke and particles.
The action of the protein pipetide (Moringa Pterygosperma G extract), obtained from the Moringa seeds, has been proven to be extremely cleansing for the skin and also facilitates its cleansing.

Indoor pollution: volatile organic compounds
They are tiny particles in the air that come into contact with the skin and are known as volatile organic compounds (COV). They are emitted by everyday objects such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, toluene and others, substances that pollute interiors and are often found in new objects.
"There are various sources of pollution of volatile organic compounds (COV) in the air in enclosed spaces: the 'occupants' through breathing and body surface, cosmetics or deodorants, heating devices, cleaning materials and various products (e.g. adhesives, solvents, colors), freshly cleaned clothing, cigarette smoke and work equipment such as printers and copiers."

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), people spend an average of 80% to 90% of their time indoors. For this reason, protection from and avoidance of sources of pollution is necessary for overall health.
Blue light: digital aging
However, there is a subtle aggression against our skin that is probably the most damaging of all and a significant contributor to skin aging, also known as "digital aging": blue light.
Blue light is called High Energy Visible (HEV) and is considered even more harmful than UV rays in some recent studies. Although the effects are not immediately visible, they become apparent over time and include premature skin aging due to severe oxidative stress.
Called "the evil of the 21st century", digital aging is an aging factor that we are constantly exposed to as we are in close contact with digital devices such as smartphones and laptops every day.
Damage to the skin is caused by the electromagnetic waves emitted from screens that increase tissue temperature and damage the collagen fibers in the dermis. In this way, wrinkles and double chins can easily appear because the initial damage to the water present in the skin tissues is caused by overheating and alteration of the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin.
How do we protect our skin from pollution?
It is obvious that due to the daily stresses to which the skin is exposed and their negative effects, conventional cosmetics, even those with UVA and UVB filters, are not enough to adequately protect it.
There are several ways to protect skin from smog and indoor pollution (blue light, COV).
In addition to a daily routine with thorough facial cleansing and care, it is advisable to use a specially developed cream to protect the skin from harmful environmental influences.
For example, RedMoringa's anti-aging and anti-pollution cream with Moringa offers effective protection against environmental pollution and has positive effects on the appearance of the skin. It is based on prebiotics and enriched with moringa seed microproteins to strengthen the skin barrier.

What steps are necessary to achieve clear, smooth and pollution-free skin?
Because the skin is constantly exposed to the 'bombardment' of pollution, ordinary daily care and protection is not enough.
It is necessary to take targeted action from the ground up, starting with the cosmetics used every day, as in the case of Moringa Oleifera cream, to combat the harmful effects of pollution sources in the bud and thus prevent premature skin aging and other disorders linked to exposure to smog to prevent or contain.
