Erasing pigmentation spots through SDF-1 communication regulation: The power of blue biotech

Mathias Fleury, Category Manager for Biotech Active ingredients, Givaudan

Ageing and excessive sun exposures are two of the main causes for visible spots development (senile and solar lentigo). While today only synthetic solutions or abrasive mechanical depigmentation processes (peeling, laser…) are available to erase them, consumers expect cleaner & gentler products. We crafted an exclusive microalgae extract acting on SDF-1, a breakthrough biological pathway responsible for all kinds of dark spots. Tested against the best industry benchmarks, it is able to reactivate SDF-1 expression in aged or UV exposed skin models, while significantly decreasing visible spots at the clinical level on Caucasian, Asian and African volunteers.
