This ingredient is designed for beauty and wellness applications, with a focus on anti-aging and skin health. FucoSkin® is clinically tested, halal certified, and produced using sustainable, green technology that avoids solvents and environmentally harmful chemicals.
Key Features:
- Low Molecular Weight (≈500 Daltons)
- Clinically Tested
- Blue Beauty Trend
- Halal Certified
- Cosmetic GMP: ISO 22716
- Derived Natural: ISO 16128
Scientific Evidence & Benefits #
FucoSkin® has been evaluated for its efficacy in skincare and dermatology. Its benefits include:
- Superior antioxidant capacity
- Promotion of fibroblast growth
- Inhibition of inflammatory cytokine secretions
- Increased procollagen and collagen synthesis
- Inhibition of MMPs expression (gelatinases, collagenase)
- Photo-aging protection
- Anti-melanogenesis effects
As a result, FucoSkin® acts as a potent anti-aging and anti-wrinkle ingredient, helping to reduce wrinkle depth, improve skin elasticity, and enhance dermal collagen structure. It also inhibits dermal remodeling enzymes (matrix metalloproteases, MMPs) and can reduce UVB-induced MMP expression.
Clinical Testing & Results #
Human Clinical Study (Asian Population) #
- Participants: 25 randomly selected Asian females, aged 30-60
- Procedure: Application of a base cream containing 1% and 3% FucoSkin® once daily (night) for 7 days
- Assessment Tools: VISIA Analysis System, Cutometer® MPA580, DERMALAB® COMBO
Results after 7 days:
| Concentration | Skin Texture | Skin Elasticity | Pores | Skin Spots | Skin Redness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1% FucoSkin® | 22.4% | 3.9% | 12.2% | 8.4% | 5.5% |
| 3% FucoSkin® | 49.0% | 5.7% | 40.1% | 12.3% | 7.2% |
- 1% FucoSkin®: Improved skin smoothness, reduced pores, reduced spot pigmentation, improved dermal collagen structure
