Gitta Neufang concludes, “Licochalcone A helps the
skin in two ways
against UV stress: it activates the skin’s own protection and is an antioxidant itself. Therefore, Licochalcone A in
combination with photostable UVA/UVB filter systems is beneficial to protect
our skin from UV stress. That is why we use Licochalkon A in several products of
Eucerin´s sun range.”
