Lubrizol powers up skin electricity booster
Lubrizol has taken the wraps off Lectroglaze, a biotech ingredient that boosts the skin’s natural electricity levels and enhances its antioxidant defences. The skin contains special
bacteria, known as electrogenic bacteria, which generate bioelectricity to help minimize oxidative stress. Lectroglaze enhances these
electrogenic bacteria, as well as the skin’s natural electricity levels, powering up the skin’s antioxidant defences to effectively reduce oxidative stress and shield against cellular senescence and collagen degradation. As a result, the skin looks
poreless, smooth, hydrated, and glowing, achieving the coveted ‘glass skin’ appearance effortlessly. In vitro tests showed
Lectroglaze boosted the levels of electrogenic bacteria and bioelectricity, also offering a significant antioxidant effect. Additional in vitro and ex
vivo studies also demonstrated its ability to protect electrogenic bacteria and skin cells from the
renewable carbon sources, GMO- free microorganisms, and clean methods using water as the only solvent, the biotech ingredient ensures minimal environmental impact. In a related development,

computer vision techniques, Lectroglaze has been shown in vivo to reduce the length and area of elongated age-related pores by 10.2% and 14.2%, respectively. Additionally, the biotech
ingredient improved skin luminosity, translucency, hydration, and smoothness, contributing to a glass skin appearance. User satisfaction was high, with
91.5% of participants stating they would recommend this product to their best friend. Produced sustainably with
Lubrizol has revealed the efficacy data of its microencapsulated curcumin ingredient for beauty- from-within nutraceutical applications. Curcushine was found to
deliver improved skin radiance, reduced wrinkle depth and other skin benefits in a clinical study published in Agro Food Industry Hi Tech.
The study tested 63 women
between the ages of 21 to 50 who said they had facial skin imperfections. Participants consumed
Curcushine microcapsules or a placebo daily for 42 days. Participants who took
Curcushine microcapsules were reported to have improved skin radiance, reduced wrinkle depth, and enhanced overall skin appearance in just six weeks.

Ichimaru Pharcos unveils peony active for radiant skin tone One cause of skin dullness is
Japanese cosmetic ingredient maker Ichimaru Pharcos has taken the wraps off PeoGlow, a skin tone active derived from an extract of peony roots. PeoGlow reduces the
accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and blocks the AGE-RAGE (receptors

RAGEs, triggering a signaling cascade in melanocytes and keratinocytes that induces both hyperpigmentation and abnormal keratinization—like a domino effect.
the uneven skin tone, which results from the combination of three colour tones on the skin: brown, due to AGEs; grey, caused by abnormal keratinization; and black, resulting from hyperpigmentation. This suggests that inhibiting the AGEs-RAGE domino effect could
be a simple yet powerful strategy to achieve a more even and radiant skin tone. Ichimaru Pharcos sought a
natural material that inhibits the AGEs-RAGE interaction and discovered that an extract of Peonia albiflora roots has this ability.
