NEWS Counteracting epigenetic stress
Liftonin-Q, from Rahn, is a water- based extract from the fungus Ganoderma lucidum obtained from sustainable cultivation. This king of medical mushrooms, also known as “lingzhi”, has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine. It protects the skin from epigenetic stress to promote a youthful and relaxed skin appearance. Epigenetic markers are DNA
programming patterns that switch genes on or off. They determine the activities of our cells. A negative impact on our skin can be caused by the fact that as we grow older, more and more of the genes
Micron-sized zinc oxide
Croda is launching to the market a new solution for safe and sustainable solar protection products, Solaveil MicNo, which combines all the benefits of micron-sized Zinc Oxide (ZnO) with transparency on skin. This range of ZnO powders and dispersions is based on patented, platelet-shaped structures that ensure Solaveil MicNo particles are large enough to be suitable for natural and COSMOS approved formulations, whilst also being transparent on skin. This level of transparency makes them extremely versatile and suitable for a wide range of end applications and skin phototypes. Helene Hine, marketing manager Solar
Protection, said: “Our latest launch Solaveil MicNo is helping us extend our range of Solaveil mineral filters and tackling a big challenge for mineral formulations, which is whitening on skin. As this range is based on ZnO, it is inherently mild and non-irritant, and there are no concerns around skin penetration, so perfect for babies, children and sensitive skin. Solaveil MicNo products are also ideal for natural and clean beauty brands, as “nature identical minerals” they are available as either coated or uncoated particles, with COSMOS variants available. For the first time ever, it is possible to formulate highly transparent mineral sunscreen systems to meet the needs of consumers looking for natural and clean sunscreens.”
that determine the skin’s youthful appearance are switched off because of incorrect programming. This epigenetic stress accelerates skin ageing. Liftonin-Qi reactivates the skin’s rejuvenation program by resetting the epigenetic clock. In vitro studies have revealed that the underlying mechanism is based on the maintenance of the epigenetic programming of skin cells. Liftonin-Qi protects the DNA of epidermal progenitor cells against methylation-related stress. It facilitates the full recovery of an intact skin barrier and reduces epigenetically induced inflammatory reactions.
Clinical studies have shown A&E Conock 1CvAd 19.qxp_Layout 1 26/09/2019 14:13 Page 1
that Liftonin-Qi has superior lifting effects and generates a more positive facial expression. Liftonin-
Qi strengthens the dermis as well as the epidermis, increases skin elasticity and improves the overall appearance of the skin.
