Update (September 11, 2025): Independent U.K. laboratory, XCellR8, recently tested Revyntra, BioMara’s marine-derived fucoidan ingredient. This study assessed Revyntra’s ability to stimulate collagen in human dermal fibroblasts. Results showed a 20-fold increase in collagen release compared to untreated controls. Interestingly, Revyntra surpassed vitamin C in performance, purportedly achieving superior results at 10 times lower concentrations while maintaining better cell viability. These findings suggest Revyntra is an ideal ingredient for high-performance skin care, particularly for sensitive skin and long-term applications.
Key findings include:
- Maximum collagen concentration: 611.65 µg/mL at just 0.03 mg/mL of Revyntra.
- Dose-dependent improvements starting as low as 0.0075 mg/mL.
- Outperforms vitamin C (which required a 10x higher dose to achieve a significant effect).
Gill Westgate, Ph.D., director of Cosmetics Cluster UK, noted, “Ingredients like Revyntra are hitting the market at the perfect time, as the beauty industry shifts toward bio-based, sustainable actives. Its proven efficacy and clean-beauty credentials make it highly valuable for premium skincare, wellness, and ingestible beauty markets.”
Multi-Targeted Anti-Aging Benefits
Revyntra also demonstrated strong results in complementary enzyme inhibition assays, proving its multi-targeted action against skin aging:
- Collagenase inhibition: 100% at 2% concentration in under 60 minutes.
- Elastase inhibition: 72% at just 0.08%, reducing wrinkle-inducing enzyme activity.
- Tyrosinase inhibition: 100% at 2%, supporting pigmentation control.
Previously (June 25, 2025): Seaweed biotech startup BioMara officially launched its flagship cosmetic active, Revyntra, during in-cosmetics Global. Described as a premium high-purity fucoidan extract, the ingredient is derived from regeneratively farmed seaweed, and can be used in skin and hair care formulations.
High Beauty Benefits at Low Levels
Backed by research and developed through a traceable supply chain, Revyntra reportedly offers targeted performance at low inclusion rates.
Touted benefits include the following.
- Hydration: Supports and strengthens the skin’s natural moisture barrier for lasting radiance.
- Antioxidant action: Neutralizes free radicals to help prevent visible signs of premature aging.
- Environmental defense: Protects skin from daily environmental stressors.
According to the company, the ingredient is suitable for use in serums, creams, masks and hair products. Biomara adds that Revyntra is also currently undergoing independent in vitro testing to validate its potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-aging, collagen-boosting and skin-friendly properties.
Unlocking the Power of Fucoidan
“Revyntra is the result of years of R&D optimizing extraction to unlock the potential of seaweed extracts for health,” said Jay Dignan, CEO of BioMara. “There is surging demand across the cosmetics industry for natural, research-backed active ingredients. Revyntra answers that call —combining efficacy and sustainability in one hero ingredient.”
As the company explains, Revyntra is powered by fucoidan, a complex sulfated polysaccharide naturally found in brown seaweeds native to UK waters. BioMara’s proprietary extraction method is designed to preserve the full bioactivity of the compound, producing a high-performance, zero-waste ingredient.
The same process also reportedly enables the co-extraction of other valuable seaweed components for future use. What's more, BioMara sources its seaweed from local regenerative farms, ensuring traceability while supporting coastal economies and marine biodiversity.
With Revyntra, BioMara positions itself as an expert in sustainable marine-derived actives for a global beauty industry increasingly focused on clean, high-performing and eco-friendly products.
