Improvement of overall skin appearance by means of biotechnology


Biodiversity is not only inherently valuable but it is also a rich source for novel product development


There has been growing interest in the identification of new natural agents which enable innovative active ingredients with excellent cosmetic properties such as firming, restructuring, moisturising or anti-wrinkles to be developed. Biotechnology appears to have an amazing potential for further product development into the cosmetic industry in line with the concept of sustainability. Different living beings in a particular complex ecosystem develop unique chemical structures and bioactivities, since they have to protect themselves from harsh conditions such as wave action, thermal and desiccation stress, UV exposure or nutrient depletion. Microorganisms inhabiting extreme environments


are exposed to continual challenges. These challenges and the high diversity of marine organisms, in comparison with terrestrial ones, make sea-based agents a key target for new active ingredient development. Bacterial strains of marine origin can develop exopolysaccharides (EPSs) structures with distinctive features which may not be found in more traditional polymers of plant origin. Based on these survival structures, Biointec™


is


Lipotec’s product brand which allows for efficient procedures to both discover innovative bio-molecules as well as manage biodiversity. The result is a sustainable production of bio-active ingredients with proven cosmetic efficacy, achieved by means of biotechnology from natural agents while preserving biodiversity. hyadisine™


is Lipotec’s latest launch in line with this


advanced biotechnological approach. hyadisine™


is an EPS obtained by fermentation


from a marine bacterium that inhabits a colony of mussels in an intertidal area of Brittany, in the bay of Douarnenez and which belongs to the genus Pseudoalteromonas sp. These mussels are exposed to desiccation when the tide recedes as well as to other drastic environmental changes at low tide. As a microorganism’s mechanism of response, dessication appears to induce the production of microbial EPSs of a highly hygroscopic nature and with a wide variety of properties. It means that


with a significant reduction of lines by 11.1% in only two hours, as shown in vivo results. The role of biotechnology in the cosmetic industry is crucial since it offers novel challenges for the investigation of marine biodiversity. This opportunity for new innovative cosmetic concepts and mechanisms requires quality research. hyadisine™ has demonstrated its efficacy to improve overall skin appearance, and thus to be a functional natural option for those anti-ageing formulations intended for immediate results, in particular anti-wrinkles.


exopolysaccharides structures play a key role on microorganism’s protection against natural stressors. Optimised bioprocesses provide the right growth of the microorganism and its most favourable productivity. During cell growth, the strain produces EPSs which possess unique physical and chemical properties, such as water retention. In the case of hyadisine™


, its exopolysaccharide


structure demonstrated in vitro to retain 12.7% more water than hyaluronic acid at 95% relative humidity. This water retaining profile provides this natural bio- active ingredient with excellent long-lasting moisturising and immediate anti-wrinkles properties,
