Seppic takes aim at skin sagging with seaweed
Seppic has taken the wraps off Sagacious, a biomimetic anti- ageing active ingredient made from Himanthalia elongata (brown seaweed). In a clinical study, Sagacious
was found to improve skin firmness eight times more than the placebo and decrease the visibility of nasogenian folds after 28 days. Sagacious is a biomimetic active
ingredient, inspired by the behaviour of plants in the international space station, which, to maintain their integrity in zero gravity, synthesize specific molecules from the glycolipids family. Seppic has succeeded in
extracting this family of molecules from Himanthalia elongata seaweed using an eco-designed and patented process: ‘Coeur d’algue’. Himanthalia elongata is a
brown seaweed harvested with respect for biodiversity in France. In an in vitro study, Sagacious

regulations, Sagacious is also COSMOS and Natrue approved with a 100% naturalness rate according to ISO 16128. Audrey Bonnard, Active
Product Manager at Seppic, said:
“Sagacious is an innovative active ingredient, thanks to its biomimetic sourcing and its eco-designed process patented by Seppic which allows for the first time to extract glycolipids from Himanthalia elongata seaweed. “All this for proven and visible
effectiveness from one month on the signs of facial sagging.” Seppic has meanwhile revealed
the results of clinical study on its natural nutraceutical ingredient Ceramosides on hair loss. The study was carried out on a
panel of women of all ages suffering from non-pathological hair loss. In three months, the results
found a significant growth by 12.5% in hair length versus placebo, and a twofold increase in the number of hairs in the growth phase: +11,000 (versus less than 5,000 for the placebo group). The study also found a
significant reduction by 27% in hair loss versus placebo.
Cargill Beauty lifts lid on scoring system
Cargill Beauty has launched a new scoring system for its personal care ingredients called the Sustainable Ingredient Score. The Sustainable Ingredient
Score is a third-party verified scoring system is based around criteria that are in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The US firm says its new
system will help meet consumer demand for greater transparency from beauty brands by enabling easier sustainable personal care ingredient choices. It brings clarity to our customers on the sustainability credentials
of our ingredients by assessing their sourcing, transformation, and environmental impact, it adds. The scoring system is based on
three pillars: clean sourcing (value chain transparency, upstream risk management, circular economy and natural raw material, and supplier social risk management); clean transformation (chemical transformation efficiency, downstream risk on ingredient, industrial social risk management); and environmental impact (low environmental footprint, biodiversity). Each pillar is equally weighted
