When daylight fades, our mood and skin both tend to lose radiance. Neurocosmetics, active ingredients that connect the skin and brain, offer an innovative solution as they enable the creation of skin care to enhance appearance while uplifting well-being.
GlowCytocin™: The Feel-good Touch Enhancer
Extracted from the white hyacinth bulb, GlowCytocin™ is the first active shown to target the oxytocin receptor in the skin. By doing so, it boosts fibroblast proliferation, improving skin renewal, elasticity and wrinkle reduction. It also enhances sensory neuron proliferation while reducing nociceptive signaling to increase skin receptivity to light and affective touch, and to enhance comfort. GlowCytocin™ transforms skin care into a sensory ritual that promotes both radiance and well-being.
Pickmulse™: The Well-being Emulsifier
Pickmulse™ is a patented quinoa-based Pickering emulsifier that merges sensorial luxury with functional performance. Surfactant-free, it creates soft, powdery emulsions that preserve microbiota and strengthen the skin barrier. Beyond texture, Pickmulse™ has proven neurocosmetic efficacy: fMRI imaging shows it activates brain areas linked to reward and relaxation after application, demonstrating its ability to transform a cream into a source of emotional comfort.
Rootness™ Mood+: The Sunlight-mimicking Active
Derived from Sanguisorba officinalis roots, Rootness™ Mood+ recreates the biological effects of light on the skin. It boosts the expression of skin photoreceptors and vitamin D pathways while stimulating serotonin and melatonin production, molecules known to promote mood balance and relaxation. In clinical tests, Rootness™ Mood+ revealed visibly brighter, more even skin and increased the relaxation index by 279% within a week for a more serene state of mind.
Radiant Skin, Elevated Spirit
Rootness™ Mood+, GlowCytocin™ and Pickmulse™ redefine winter care, helping formulators create products that illuminate both skin and mood.
