About
Dr. Cohen and Dr Adar have isolated a novel colorless sun blocker compound. The compound, SH-401, is purified from Rhus coriaria (commonly called Sicilian sumac), an edible plant that is used as a spice. SH-401 was shown to: 1. Be safe and to attenuate UVB-induced damage 2. Attenuate UVB-induced inflammation 3. Attenuate UVB-induced DNA damage 4. High SPF performance (compared to synthetic traditional sunscreens) 5. Rejuvenate the skin ECM
