Silab has unveiled new efficacy data for its Oxygeskin active ingredient, which is derived from the nasturtium flower.
When tested at 0.25% on aged human fibroblasts, Oxygeskin "significantly reduces the expression of miRNAs" repressing key biological pathways, including oxygenation (HIF-1α) and cellular energy production (ATP), as well as those essential to dermal and epidermal homeostasis.
Boosting dermal homeostasis benefits hydration, proliferation and organization of the dermal matrix, while support of epidermal homeostasis enhances epidermal differentiation, proliferation and regeneration.
These findings come in addition to the ingredient's previously ability to revive complexion radiance by reinvigorating skin oxygenation in conditions of chronological aging or digital pollution.
Silab also investigated the effect of Oxygeskin on the body.
After 14 days of twice daily application of a formulation comprising 1% Oxygeskin to the thighs, skin oxygenation was boosted by 4.5%.
The skin's microrelief was also diminished by 6.3% in the treated areas; 89% of trial participants considered their skin to be velvety.
In addition, 83% of volunteers found their skin to be more radiant, while 89% found it more beautiful.
Skin firmness was also found to be improved by 7%.
