A biotech and marine alternative to "fillers"?
Skin purity, longevity, and alternatives to aesthetic procedures: new efficacy data for Seppic's marine active ingredients
As a long-standing player in marine beauty with its site in Pontrieux, Brittany (France), Seppic has unveiled new in vivo and in vitro data for its flagship active ingredients. These new results strengthen the evidence for their targeted action on fundamental skin mechanisms linked to three major current trends in cosmetics: skin purity, longevity, and alternative aesthetic procedures.
As the cosmetic market enters the "Science-Based Beauty" era, the appeal of marine naturalness is coupled with strong expectations for efficacy: brands demand total transparency and tangible biological proof.
To address the first trend, which involves seeking healthy and balanced skin, Phlorogine-TM CV, an extract of Laminaria Saccharina, has its purifying efficacy confirmed by new in vivo data validating a triple action: sebum level is reduced by 29.3%, visible imperfections decrease by 10.8%, and complexion radiance is revived by +20.3% .(1)
Targeting deep longevity mechanisms to meet "Well-ageing" expectations, Aspar'Age-TM (Asparagopsis Armata) confirms its in vivo action against "contagious ageing" by protecting young fibroblasts from the SMS (Senescence Messaging Secretome) emitted by senescent fibroblasts. At 2%, the active ingredient reduces the length of crow's feet wrinkles by nearly twice as much as the placebo. Efficacy is visible: the skin appears significantly younger, less tired (77%), and more (2) uniform (68%).
Finally, to meet the growing demand for gentle alternatives to hyaluronic acid injections, the biotechnology-derived ingredient Celtosome-TM Eryngium Maritimum continues to play a role as a biotech "filler."
While in vitro tests already demonstrate an increase in Hyaluronic Acid production of +103% and a strengthening of Collagen I (+28%) and Elastin (+34%), the clinical study reveals a real (3) smoothing effect. After 28 days, wrinkle surface area is reduced by 12% . The active also offers (4) immediate hydration superior to the placebo. Acclaimed by consumers, it leaves skin smoother to the touch for 71% of volunteers and provides an improved general appearance for 74% of them. The Seppic marine portfolio thus positions itself as a leading solution, offering brands the guarantee of high-performance active ingredients whose efficacy is continually reinforced by
scientific data.
