About DEFENSIL®-SOFT
DEFENSIL®-SOFT is a neuro-balm from A to Zen, which blocks the pain receptor TRPV1 and upgrades the skin’s comfort zone. The active ingredient is based on the edible mushroom Albatrellus ovinus, also called the Northern truffle. The pain receptor TRPV1, which is expressed in the epidermis’ sensory neurons and keratinocytes, regulates the skin’s comfort zone: Elevated levels of TRPV1 may lead to increased skin sensitivity and unpleasant sensations caused by e.g. sunburn or chemical peelings. On the other hand, heat stress, particularly caused by IR-light, can activate TRPV1, which, in turn, induces typical ageing processes such as enhanced collagen degradation. This modern
form of pre-mature skin ageing caused by heat stress is also known as “thermal ageing”.
