| Photolyase |
Photolyase is an enzyme essential for repairing DNA damage resulting from exposure to UV irradiation. Present in various organisms such as certain plants, animals, and microorganisms. Photolyase is particularly important for skin health, offering protection against the harmful effects of sun exposure. One of its key benefits is its ability to repair UV-induced DNA damage that can lead to skin problems such as skin cancer or/and premature ageing. Additionally, by repairing this damage, photolyase helps shield the skin from hyperpigmentation, sunburn and other negative effects associated with extended sun exposure.
