Moisturizing

Body

Increases the power of skin’s water absorption for deep and even hydration of the different epidermis layers.

> Reinforcement of the cutaneous barrier
-Maintains the quantity and volume of water in the cells of the various layers of the epidermis, even in the event of "dehydrating" aggressions thanks to the mimicry of the osmoptotector system of the micro-alga Platymonas subcordiformis.
> Better capacities of the skin to absorb water:
- Increases the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, a molecule capable of retaining water, in the epidermis and dermis
> Reinforcement of the cutaneous barrier to limit the insensible loss in water, thanks to :
- creating intercorneocyte lipids (free fatty acids, cholesterol, ceramides, etc.) which will contribute to maintaining cohesion between the corneocytes and thus strengthening the hydrolipidic barrier,
- stimulates proteins involved in cellular cohesion.

[Hyᵃ]+ERYTHRITOL AND HOMARINE HCL

ORIGINS

This complex mimics the osmoprotective system of the microalgae Platymonas Subcordiformis to survive the alternating salinity of estuaries. It brings together two active ingredients with powerful moisturizing properties: erythritol and homarin HCL.

EFFICIENCY

In-Vitro:
> Under hypertonic stress (water leaves the cells, their size decreases, they can no longer function normally and end up degenerating): the number of cells increases by +81% and their size by +91%.
> Under hypotonic stress (water enters the cells, their size increases, they can no longer function normally and end up degenerating) the number of cells increases by +223%, the size of the cells decreases by -22%.
> Increase of 43% of the resistance to drying out

In-Vivo :
> 34% increase in skin surface hydration after 24 hours, and 38% after 8 days
> 37% increase in the size of keratinocytes

[Hyᵇ]+POLYSACCHARIDE

ORIGINS

This anionic polysaccharide is derived from biotechnology. It is obtained by bacterial fermentation and is composed of L-fucose, D-galactose and galacturonic acid. It comes to hydrate the skin in depth.

EFFICIENCY

In-Vivo
> Increase in the rate of hydration of the epidermis over time (measured by NMR): +44% after one hour, +79% after 3 hours and +29% after 8 hours.

Ex-Vivo
> +56% epidermal hyaluronic acid expression
> +20%* expression of dermal hyaluronic acid
