Skin Elasticity / Firmness
Elasticity and firmness are crucial indicators of youthful, healthy skin. Skin care and cosmetic products designed to enhance these attributes often contain ingredients that boost collagen and elastin production, which support skin structure and resilience. These products help improve skin’s ability to stretch and return to its original shape, reducing the appearance of sagging and fine lines. Regular use can lead to a more toned, youthful complexion with improved skin texture and elasticity.
Biomarker Testing List:
| Biomarker | Scientific Pathway Details | Used to Prove Claims |
|---|---|---|
| (MMPs) | Enzymes that degrade collagen and elastin; lower levels suggest better maintenance of skin firmness. | Degrade collagen levels |
| Collagen Type I and III | Contribute structural support and firmness through their role in the extracellular matrix, enhancing skin strength and elasticity. | Enhanced Firmness and Resilience |
| Hyaluronic Acid | Maintains skin hydration and volume by binding water in the extracellular matrix, enhancing skin plumpness and elasticity. | Hydrated and Plumper Skin |
| Elastin | Provides skin elasticity by forming cross-linked fibers in the extracellular matrix, allowing the skin to stretch and return to shape. | Improved 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), 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.
