Introducing Sana Fela Tangerine Anti-Shine Cream!

Nobiletin reduces sebum production

If you have read part one of our posts on oil control and acne, you know that  Nobiletin has been shown to be very effective in reducing the amount of oil that is produced by the sebaceous glands, as well as the overall size of the glands themselves. If you have not yet read this post, click here to have a look. The researchers showed quite convincingly that Nobiletin reduced the production of sebum by hamster sebocytes, both in vitro and in vivo.

Nobiletin is found in Tangerine Extract

Nobiletin is a flavenoid that is present in many citrus fruits, and is especially prevalent in tangerine. The Tangerine Extract we use also has a large amount of tangeretin, which has a very similar structure as compared to nobiletin. For you chemistry buffs out there, there is only a  difference of one methoxyl group between the two.

Formulation and Testing

Over the last two months we have been working hard on putting together the optimal formulation for our new Tangerine Anti-Shine Cream. We obviously did not want to use an oil cream base for this product. After all, we are trying to reduce the amount of oil on your face, so adding more via the base would be kind of counter-productive. It took some doing, but we found an oil-free base that fits the ticket and that in and of it self is a very nice and luxurious moisterizer.

After finding the right formulation the testing team took its time to thoroughly test the new product. The response was very encouraging. One of our testers chose to first use it only on her nose, but within a week decided that the results were so good that she started to use it on her forehead also.  Here is what she said:

“I’ve been testing the Tangerine Anti-Shine Cream for about a week, and I’m already noticing a big difference! I started off just using it on my nose and expanded to using it on my forehead a few days later, and tonight I noticed that my nose was way less greasy than my forehead- which will be soon to follow the pattern! It smells really good, too ”

No strong tangerine smell

One question we received was: “Won’t I be smelling like an orange when I put this stuff on?” (this question came from a male on our test panel) The answer is a clear “No!”. The smell is quite subtle and goes away quickly. You won’t be able to smell it anymore within 15 minutes or so. Our test panel thought it smelled quite nice!

Very fast skin absorption

As is the case for our Acne Treatment product, the new Anti-Shine cream also is absorbed very quickly and spreads very easily. You only need a small dab for pretty much your whole face.

Only for night use

Sana Fela Tangerine Anti-Shine should only be used as a night cream. The reason why is because Tangerine Oil – as do other citrus oils – can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.   Until we have more data, we decided that it is best to only approve use as a night cream. In any case, once-nightly use has provided excellent oil control, so there is no need to have more than one treatment per 24 hour period.

Reducing oil can help prevent acne

There are many factors that are involved in causing acne, and which ones are responsible in each particular case is not always clear. However, since the amount of oil that is being produced by your skin is often correlated to the development of acne, it stands to reason that reducing the amount of oil produced will also help prevent acne.

The combination of Sana Fela Acne Treatment and Tangerine Anti-Shine in our test panel definitely helped to further control acne outbreaks.

One thing we want to test is whether it is possible to combine both products into one. We are actively working on this. One problem is that the Sana Fela Acne Treatment is typically used at least twice a day, whereas the Tangerine Anti-Shine is only a night cream. The obvious alternative is to make it available as a set.
