Sun exposure is essential for the body's well-being, but it is also the main environmental factor involved in premature skin aging.
UVA and UVB radiation promote the formation of free radicals, increase oxidative stress, and accelerate collagen degradation, progressively compromising skin elasticity, firmness, and radiance.
To counteract these phenomena, it is useful to adopt an integrated strategy that acts both from within and from without.
The MOLTITUDO® protocol includes:
- Lunae®: 1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet at lunch.
- Opus Ruri® Aloe Arborescens Sunscreen Cream SPF30 or SPF50: repeated application during sun exposure.

Why take Lunae® during the period of sun exposure?
Photoaging is not caused exclusively by the superficial damage induced by the sun.
At the base of skin alterations, the following are frequently observed:
- increased oxidative stress;
- microcirculation alterations;
- collagen degradation;
- low-grade chronic inflammation;
- reduced tissue elasticity.
Lunae® was developed to physiologically support these mechanisms.
The role of Centella asiatica
One of the characteristic ingredients of Lunae® is Centella asiatica.
Its main bioactive constituents include:
- asiaticoside;
- asiatic acid;
- madecassic acid.
These compounds have been widely studied for their ability to:
- support microcirculation functionality;
- promote connective tissue trophism;
- support physiological collagen synthesis;
- improve skin elasticity.
Centella's activity on fibroblasts also contributes to the maintenance of dermal structure, which is particularly important during periods of intense sun exposure.
Microcirculation and tissue oxygenation
Skin health also depends on the quality of microcirculation.
An efficient microcirculation promotes:
- nutrient transport;
- oxygen supply;
- metabolite elimination;
- proper fluid drainage.
Centella asiatica is traditionally used to support the physiological functionality of the microcirculation and connective tissue.
Why take 1 tablet in the morning and 1 at lunch?
Dividing the dose throughout the day provides constant support to the physiological mechanisms involved in the well-being of the skin and connective tissue.
Regular use throughout the summer season can help preserve skin firmness, elasticity, and quality.
Why use Opus Ruri® SPF30 or SPF50?
Sun protection is today considered one of the most effective anti-aging strategies.
UV radiation promotes:
- the production of free radicals;
- the activation of metalloproteinases (MMP);
- collagen degradation;
- the appearance of wrinkles and skin spots.
The daily use of adequate sun protection is today considered one of the most effective anti-aging strategies.
Aloe Arborescens: skin protection and well-being
Opus Ruri® SPF30 and SPF50 formulations are characterized by the presence of Aloe Arborescens.
Aloe naturally contains:
- polysaccharides;
- vitamins;
- amino acids;
- antioxidant compounds.
These substances help to:
- maintain skin hydration;
- support the epidermal barrier;
- improve the comfort of skin exposed to the sun;
- counteract dehydration.
Mineral filters and broad-spectrum protection
Opus Ruri® sunscreens use mineral filters that work by reflecting and scattering UV radiation.
This protection helps to limit:
- oxidative damage;
- the activation of inflammatory processes;
- collagen degradation;
- premature photoaging.
Plant oils and maintenance of the skin barrier
The presence of plant oils helps to:
- nourish the skin;
- preserve the hydrolipidic film;
- improve elasticity and softness;
- reduce transepidermal water loss.
An intact skin barrier is one of the main natural defenses against the harmful effects of environmental exposure.
The Lunae® + Opus Ruri® synergy
The combination of the two products allows for simultaneous action on several aspects of skin health.
From within
Lunae® helps to:
- support the microcirculation;
- support the connective tissue;
- promote the maintenance of collagen;
- preserve skin elasticity and firmness.
From the outside
Opus Ruri® SPF30 or SPF50 helps to:
- protect the skin from UV rays;
- maintain hydration;
- limit oxidative stress;
- counteract Photoaging.
Directions for use
Lunae®
- 1 capsule in the morning.
- 1 capsule at lunch.
Opus Ruri® SPF30 or SPF50
- Apply generously before sun exposure.
- Reapply several times throughout the day.
- Reapply after swimming or in case of heavy sweating.
- Use daily throughout the period of sun exposure.
Conclusions
Photoaging is the result of the cumulative action of UV rays on the skin.
Protecting collagen, supporting the microcirculation and limiting oxidative damage are fundamental strategies to preserve skin elasticity, radiance and well-being.
The combination of Lunae® and Opus Ruri® SPF30/SPF50 offers an integrated approach that helps the skin defend itself against the effects of sun exposure, supporting its health from the inside out.
