Biotechnology is the usage of dwelling organisms to develop pure and sustainable technological options. It permits the event of pure components extremely concentrated and purified in bioactive molecules, increasing the vary of lively components out there to beauty formulators. GREENTECH, a French biotech group, has been dedicated for 30 years to develop such pure lively components from sustainable and moral provide chains, because of cutting-edge applied sciences, to revive pores and skin and hair well being with a holistic method. Utilizing bio-guided fractionation, GREENTECH phytochemists develop lively components titrated in pure bioactive molecules or concentrated fractions from pure sources (vegetation, algae, microorganisms, sourced all around the globe because of a global community of producers with whom Greentech works instantly and to proprietary microorganism/microalgae collections), beforehand recognized by the group’s biologists for his or her means to modulate organic pathways of curiosity for the focused beauty exercise, which is confirmed and substantiated by a collection of in​ vitro​, ex vivo​ and in vivo​ research. This strong method, supported by articles printed in worldwide scientific journals, permits the group to supply to beauty manufacturers dependable lively beauty components.

Bio-guided fractionation to purify regenerative lively molecules​ from medicinal vegetation​

At In-Cosmetics World 2022 which was held in Paris in early April, GREENTECH unveiled MYRALYS, which illustrates its 30 years of experience in phytochemistry, inexperienced extraction and bio-guided fractionation and the implementation of sustainable and moral sourcing. MYRALYS is a COSMOS-certified natural lively ingredient, extremely purified in gentiopicroside (iridoid glycosides), sourced from natural wild yellow gentian roots to rejuvenate the higher and decrease eye contours. Gentian roots are concentrated in bitter-tasting iridoid glycosides, that are already studied for various medicinal purposes (hepatoprotection, remedy of diabetic retinopathy, …) {3} however not for eye contour care. Sustainably and domestically harvested in France by gentian-pickers educated in good harvesting practices, the roots are strictly chosen by GREENTECH scientists primarily based on their gentiopicroside content material in an effort to obtain a extremely titrated extract because of a sophisticated purification course of. To counteract eye contour getting old, MYRALYS targets six interconnected organic pathways in line with a multipathway method. It stimulates NRF2-mediated cell antioxidant response, to restrict oxidative stress and oxidation reactions concerned in untimely pores and skin getting old and the formation of superior glycation end-products (AGEs). MYRALYS additionally modulates three interrelated pathways: it limits irritation and VEGF-A-mediated angiogenesis whereas it promotes lymphatic capabilities by stimulating VEGF-C launch. MYRALYS reduces the formation of AGEs, by stimulating Glyoxalase-1 (main detoxifying enzyme which particularly neutralizes the extremely reactive aldehydes concerned in AGEs formation) and by totally neutralizing the UV-induced formation of CML (main AGE). Lastly, MYRALYS reduces dermal matrix getting old, by stimulating collagen I synthesis and by defending elastic fibers from UV-induced elastin degradation. Clinically examined on volunteers with aged higher and decrease eye contours, MYRALYS lifts droopy higher eyelids (smoother pores and skin, much less folds) (Determine 1) and rejuvenates under-eye contour by lowering darkish circles, eye baggage and tear trough severity, with seen and vital ends in simply 14 days of use (and confirmed after 28 days) (Determine 2). MYRALYS is a potent pure answer to offer a complete eye contour rejuvenation, for a time-defying look.

GREENTECH additionally utilized bio-guided fractionation to one of the crucial used medicinal vegetation within the Polynesian pharmacopoeia: Microsorum grossum​, a tropical fern. Regionally referred to as Metuapua’a​, this fern is taken into account as an adaptogenic plant (i.e. entire physique stimulant) and is historically used to deal with many illnesses, together with pores and skin issues (use of the fronds) {4}. Its medicinal properties are linked to its richness in phytoecdysteroids corresponding to phytoecdysones. These phytomolecules are produced by the fern to guard itself towards bugs, as they strongly and prematurely activate molting resulting in damages to bugs {5}. GREENTECH scientists had been bio-inspired by this fern and took benefit of its defensive mechanism to develop REVERSKIN, which is a potent pure lively ingredient titrated in phytoecdysones and polyphenols, extracted and purified from sustainably harvested Polynesian Microsorum grossum​. REVERSKIN advantageously replicates the defensive mechanism of the fern by strongly and safely activating regeneration of deep pores and skin layers to effectively and visibly reverse the indicators of pores and skin getting old. 3D reconstructed full-thickness pores and skin fashions engineered with fibroblasts from younger or outdated donors revealed the potent regenerating exercise in aged pores and skin of REVERSKIN, which targets one of the crucial age-sensitive pores and skin constructions: the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ), linking dermis to dermis and regulating homeostasis of each compartments. REVERSKIN acts on 4 key parts of DEJ, in the direction of higher group, cohesion and stabilization of DEJ. In aged pores and skin and considered a results of DEJ enchancment, keratinocyte self-renewal capability is tripled and dermis thickness is doubled after remedy with REVERSKIN. In comparison with younger pores and skin mannequin, REVERSKIN reverses age-related dermis thinning processes, appearing as a bio-inspired pores and skin deep regeneration booster. Clinically examined on volunteers aged 40 to 55, REVERSKIN restores a younger pores and skin micro-texture, totally reversing pores and skin anisotropy noticed with age(Determine 3). Pores and skin firmness and moisturization are each elevated, strengthening pores and skin and stopping wrinkle worsening.
