Anti-Wrinkle / Anti-Aging
In addition to being a natural part of aging, wrinkles also arise from external factors such as sun damage, pollution, stress, and fatigue. These elements degrade both dermal and epidermal skin components, leading to a gradual breakdown of the skin barrier. As a result, the skin surface alters, losing its youthful appearance and taking on an older, more aged look.
Why wrinkles appear
Over time, skin loses its natural moisture and the dermal-epidermal skin junction gradually loses its cohesion. As skin cells receive less nutrients, their production of structural proteins slows down. As these proteins become rare or damaged, skin loses tonicity and firmness. Expression wrinkles result from muscular action. Microcontractures generate lines and the skin between these lines distends. The areas that are most prone to changes in expression (forehead, eyebrows, lips) show these types of wrinkles. The folds of distended skin are another sign of loss in skin tone and firmness.

Biomarker Testing List:
| Biomarker | Scientific Pathway Details | Used to Prove Claims |
|---|---|---|
| (SIRT1) | A NAD+-dependent deacetylase that regulates cellular stress responses, aging, and metabolism by deacetylating transcription factors like p53 and NF-κB. | promoting youthful skin |
| Collagen Type I | The most abundant collagen in the body, forming strong fibrils that provide tensile strength to skin, bones, tendons, and other connective tissues. | improving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkels |
| MMP-1 | An enzyme that degrades collagen type I and III in the extracellular matrix, playing a key role in tissue remodeling and skin aging. | collagen-protection claims |
| Procollagen Type I | The precursor molecule of collagen type I, synthesized in fibroblasts and processed extracellularly to form mature collagen fibers. | Anti-aging, skin-firming |
| COL1A2 | A gene encoding the alpha-2 chain of collagen type I, crucial for the synthesis and assembly of functional collagen fibrils in connective tissues. | improving skin elasticity |
Scientific Driven with our Technology:
Using our expertise in immunology and cell culture, we develop immunoassays based on ELISA principle. Using cutting edge tools like 3D tissues (some of which are OECD approved for skin / cornea irritation), we bring the human experimentation into the labs. Curating a list of research publications, we have developed a platform to test products for their biomarkers mimicking the human model to generate data to back our label claims.
