Ein biomimetischer Anti-Sagging-Wirkstoff, der auf alle Hautschichten wirkt, bis hinunter zur dermo-hypodermalen Verbindung.

The article describes a biomimetic anti-sagging active ingredient derived from the brown algae Himanthalia elongata. The active ingredient acts on all layers of the skin, including the dermo-hypodermal connection. In in vivo tests, it has been shown to improve skin firmness and reduce the visibility of nasolabial folds. The Himanthalia elongata extract is a biomimetic and ecologically designed marine active ingredient intended to restore skin firmness. The extract increases the expression of integrin β1 and α-smooth muscle actin in fibroblasts, strengthening the mechanotransduction machinery between fibroblasts and the extracellular matrix. Clinical evaluations have shown that the extract improves skin firmness and reduces the visibility of nasolabial folds. The Himanthalia elongata extract is obtained from sustainably harvested brown algae and complies with various regulations and certifications. [Extracted from the article]
