Extended technical information

Institute BCN technical documentation describes trace elements as essential nutrients for the proper functioning of almost all biological processes in the body. They work closely with enzymes, provide structural strength, perform metabolic functions through hormonal stimulation or inhibition, and regulate physiological responses.

The manufacturer presents Trace Elements as a unique blend of zinc, selenium, copper, manganese and chromium designed to achieve balance and normalisation of the skin’s condition by improving its biochemical parameters. It is also highlighted that poorly nourished skin becomes dry, dull, less radiant and more vulnerable to environmental stress and pollution, which is why active trace elements are considered necessary for healthy, glowing skin.

The technical data sheet adds that this preparation helps reduce symptoms related to skin imbalance and lipid metabolism. For this reason, Trace Elements is positioned as a professional nourishing solution supporting both facial protocols and hair care routines focused on the scalp and hair in need of mineral reinforcement.

Cosmetic action of trace elements

Zinc

Institute BCN highlights that zinc is an essential element with a broad range of biological functions, including catalytic, structural and regulatory roles, present in more than 200 metalloenzymes. The technical data sheet attributes immunomodulating and antioxidant properties to it, as well as a close relationship with tissues of high metabolic, immune and anti-inflammatory activity. In professional cosmetics it is used for oily skin, helps regenerate tissues, improves hair growth, accelerates re-epithelialisation, provides antibacterial action, helps tighten pores and offers photoprotective support.

Selenium

Selenium is described as essential for the function of glutathione peroxidase and thioredoxin reductase, enzymes that protect cells against oxidative damage. The manufacturer presents it as one of the most important antioxidant nutrients to help protect the cell membrane against DNA oxidation, lipid peroxidation and damage caused by UVA rays. It is also attributed with support for body detoxification, maintenance of healthy skin, eyes and hair, and a natural anti-inflammatory action.

Chromium

The technical documentation states that chromium is an essential element for maintaining health and that its levels decline over the years. It is noted that it promotes blood glucose absorption, helping to increase muscle tissue tone and rejuvenate the skin. In addition, the data sheet links it to enrichment and deep reconstitution of the scalp, which is why it is integrated into hair care protocols.

Copper

Copper forms part of different enzymatic systems and is cosmetically associated with antioxidant protection and processes linked to the visible maintenance of the skin. Its technical interest is also connected to pigment formation, the structural support of connective tissue and the overall balance of skin metabolism.

Manganese

Manganese is included for its role in metabolic reactions and antioxidant protection of tissue. Within the blend, it reinforces the formula’s overall mineral support approach, helping to maintain the skin’s visible balance and complementing the other active trace elements.
