THE BENEFITS OF MELON SOD

Atelier Nubio - 06/09/2026

UV exposure is responsible for 80% of visible signs of aging (spots, wrinkles, depigmentation). Protecting skin from UV, in order to preserve it from aging and the risk of cancer, is a major challenge for the cosmetic industry.

How to protect yourself naturally, all year round?

The discovery of melon SOD (superoxide dismutase) was made by chance. In 1989, French melon producers in Roussillon realized that a new "Cantaloupe" melon variety had a remarkable shelf life and did not oxidize when cut.

After several years of research, the active ingredient SOD (Superoxide Dismutase), responsible for the melon's exceptional quality, was identified.

Melon SOD is the main active ingredient in our formulations "We want a sublime tan" and "We want ultimate radiance", where it is combined with hyaluronic acid.

What are the benefits of melon SOD?

Melon SOD boosts the skin's antioxidant production, which protects the skin from oxidative stress and inflammation caused by the environment (sun, pollution) and the cellular aging process.

Antioxidants produced by the skin are more effective than those supplied by food.

The following effects have been clinically proven for 20 mg of melon SOD per day, or two capsules of "We want... a sublime tan":

• It increases the skin's resistance to UV (+16% after one month of oral intake*)
• It boosts the skin's antioxidant production (+13% to +63%*)
• It protects the skin from sun damage (-72% of cells damaged by UVB - sunburn)

* Clinical study conducted double-blind, placebo-controlled on 88 healthy adults.
