It is well understood that UV-B and UV-A radiation can damage DNA and proteins, leading to accelerated skin ageing. More and more attention is being paid to the contribution visible light makes to skin ageing. The most deleterious fraction of visible light is so-called "high energy visible light" (HEV) or blue light, flanking the UV spectrum.
Although most blue light is contained in daylight, typical artificial emitters of blue light are lamps and the screens of laptops, tablets and smart phones.

Rahn has tested a selection of three Rahn-Cosmetic Actives for their blue light protection index and recommends:
- Celligent UV / HEV protection for DNA, cell and stem cell and rapid regeneration of UV-damaged skin.
- Myramaze, a cell membrane safety guard and blue light protection for stressed, fragile skin.
- Proteolea is a cellular recycling manager plus anti-blue light formula for a six-year skin rejuvenation effect in just four weeks, according to the company.
