                                The tyrosine-silanol complex (Tyrosilane®), which is patented  and used in Kosmida speciality dermatological sun products, promotes the  development of a rapid, more intense and longer lasting tan.  
                                   
                                  The compound is  the result of the condensation of a silanol molecule with one of acetyl-tyrosine, an activator of natural melanogenesis that  stimulates and increases the quantity of melanin produced by the melanocytes.  
                                   
                                Tyrosilane®  therefore shows a unique and surprising ability  to activate cell cooperation between cells of the epidermal population in  response to UV photoinduced stress, and for this reason it is a good  technological ingredient to use in sun products since it protects against  erythema.   |
