BASF's Oximony (INCI: Maltodextrin (and) Lysimachia Christinae Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract) is designed to boost skin longevity by promoting healthy levels of taurine, a naturally occurring amino acid that can boost hydration and antioxidant protection, while reducing inflammation.
(The Lysimachia christinae source is FairWild certified.)
Oximony reportedly works by increasing levels of taurine and taurine transporter TAUT, as well as NAD+.
The ingredient technology also reportedly reduces senescence markers (p16, β-galactosidase), the senescence-associated secretory phenotype SASP (MMP1, MMP3, IL-6, IL-8) and the CXCR2 receptor.
In this way, Oximony reportedly helps restore skin radiance, resilience and firmness.
A 0.25% concentration of the ingredient of the ingredient applied to Chinese volunteers showing common signs of aging showed a 28% improvement in skin fatigue appearance within two weeks of application.
Skin firmness also increased by 17% after one month, while radiance improved by 18% from the baseline after two months.
