Givaudan Active Beauty reveals Evernityl™, a marine active ingredient sourced from the depths of Brittany’s ocean. Derived from the macroalgae Laminaria hyperborea, Evernityl™ is produced through an innovative upcycling process, transforming fresh algae into a high-precision beauty ingredient combatting skin ageing and promoting youthful skin.
At IFSCC 2024, Givaudan Active Beauty revealed a breakthrough scientific discovery: Porphyr’ageing™. This concept refers to the newly discovered biological mechanism behind skin ageing, wherein porphyrins—metabolites produced by the skin’s microbiota—play a key role in the skin ageing process. These prevalent molecules significantly influence several biological mechanisms linked to skin ageing, in addition to other well-known mechanisms.
Evernityl™ is identified as the most effective ingredient to address Porphyr’ageing™, decelerating ageing and correcting both invisible and visible signs of time, which involves:
Inhibiting the production of porphyrins and enhancing their clearance via autophagy, preventing further damages to the skin.
Blocking porphyrin-induced melanogenesis, while reducing the formation of spots precursors and visible spots to promote a more even skin tone.
Stimulating the synthesis of the extracellular matrix (ECM) constituents, enhancing the skin’s elasticity and firmness to prevent the formation of wrinkles.
Romain Reynaud, Research & Development Director comments: “Our exploration of the skin microbiome has reached yet another milestone with the discovery of Porphyr’ageing™. Universal and inclusive, Evernityl™ works on multiple levels to address existing signs of ageing while proactively preventing future skin damage, making it a comprehensive solution for healthier and more youthful-looking skin.”
The concept of beauty is evolving. Today, each stage of life is celebrated and ageing is approached proactively, with a focus on prevention. Skin health is now a cornerstone of beauty, and consumers are looking for brands that align with their pursuit of longevity.
