Apoena Biocare is a bioprospecting company that discovers unique active technologies by exploring Brazil's rainforests and oceans. Its Apobio Film is a multifunctional, biofilm-forming postbiotic product with moisturizing/TEWL-preventing properties for hair and skin care.
On hair, the technology forms a protective film on the hair surface, as shown in SEM-FEG images (featured here), which retains moisture within the hair, prolonging hydration and preventing dryness.
The technology is produced from the fermentation of polysaccharide- and fructooligosaccharide-rich probiotic bacteria.
On hair, the technology forms a protective film on the hair surface, as shown in SEM-FEG images (featured here), which retains moisture within the hair, prolonging hydration and preventing dryness.
According to Apoena Biotech, Apobio Film boosts anti-drying efficacy by 30% compared to a control group. This silicone-like effect, however, also manages to avoid buildup.
On the skin, Apobio Film protects the skin's barrier, boosts water retention within cells and provides instant hydration, per the company.
One study found that the ingredient boosted hydration by 58% and cut skin water loss by 15%. The result is immediate substantial hydration that lasts as much as 72 hours, per the company.
Apobio Film also reduces oiliness via a 66.7% reduction in the expression of the enzyme 5-α-reductase.
Chemyunion Unveils Ecoffea Citrus: A Sustainable, High-Performance Solution for Skin Revitalization
The Chemyunion Group combines nature, science and innovation to create sustainable health, beauty and wellness products for personal care, life sciences, and home care, serving more than 50 countries. Among its ingredient technologies is Ecoffea Citrus, a plant extract that boosts the production of structural proteins, revitalizing and restoring skin's longevity.
Derived from upcycled waste from green coffee (Coffea arabica) and Sicilian lemon (Citrus limon), the vegan ingredient comprises 100% NOC (Natural Origin Content). With this launch, Chemyunion says it reaffirms its commitment to innovation and sustainability by offering the market an effective solution for high-performance body care
According to the company, Ecoffea Citrus has been shown ex vivo and in vivo in the neck and décolleté area to improve skin health and promote the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles through various mechanisms:
- Improving skin texture, elasticity and firmness.
- Stimulating cellular longevity.
- Boosting structural proteins essential for skin firmness.
- Improving skin elasticity, texture and roughness after 28 days.
- Reducing fine lines and wrinkles after 28 days.
The degradation of collagen and elastin fibers affects skin’s firmness and texture. As the company explains, by acting on different types of collagen, the ingredient boosts firmness (type I collagen (COL-1)), supports skin structure (type III collagen (COL-3)), increases the production of COL-1, which decelerates with chronological aging, and improves regeneration to support the mechanical stability of skin (type IV collagen (COL-4)).
In addition, by boosting fibronectin 1 (FB1), a glycoprotein that interacts with dermal fibroblasts and contributes to the structure of the dermal-epidermal junction, the extracellular matrix (ECM) is improved, in turn improving wrinkles. Finally, to maintain skin integrity and appearance, the ingredient increases the expression of sitruin-3 (SIRT-3), which promotes cellular longevity by protecting skin structures from oxidative damage.
