Microphyt has unveiled Zenitium, an active ingredient designed to address sleep deprivation and support skin health while promoting mental calmness. It reportedly works by relaxing facial muscles, enhancing sleep quality and soothing the mind.
Relaxation for Mind and Skin Wellness
As the company explains, in recent decades, sleep deprivation has become a significant concern, which can negatively impact physical and mental well-being and have visible consequences on the skin. Addressing this issue, skin muscle relaxation is a crucial first step in initiating the body’s natural sleep process, enhancing sleep quality, reducing stress and delaying the appearance of permanent wrinkles.
Bioactive Compounds for Skin Benefits
Microphyt harnessed the power of Porphyridium cruentum by extracting a unique blend of biocompounds to create Zenitium (INCI: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (and) Porphyridium Cruentum Extract (and) Tocopherol). In particular, these include:
- GABA, which acts as a neurotransmitter inhibitor to reduce neuronal hyperactivity;
- Arachidonic acid, an acetylcholine inhibitor that reduces muscle contraction; and
- Zeaxanthin, an antioxidant that reportedly supports proper muscle function.
Per the company, together these compounds act to not only relax the skin, but also support overall well-being while preserving skin youthfulness.
Demonstrated Results In vitro and In vivo
Key reported benefits of Zenitium are as follows.
- Fast skin muscle relaxation: Reduces muscle cell contractions, allowing for quicker sleep onset.
- Improves sleep and mental clarity: By soothing tension and promoting deep relaxation, Zenitium ensures better sleep, which is essential for reducing stress.
- Preserves skin youthfulness: Instantly softens expression lines, even in younger skin.
- Reduces skin roughness with long-term effects: Skin barrier and expression lines are reduced after 28 days of application.
Zenitium is described as a holistic beauty bioactive for consumers seeking to improve their sleep and restore mental calm while giving their skin the care it deserves.
