Fucogel^® - The SMART(est) reference in the cosmetic active ingredients market

SOOTHING: Owing to its unique ability to reduce sensory nerve fiber hyperresponsiveness, by inhibiting activation of the ASIC receptor pathway in response to an irritant, Fucogel^® immediately relieves neurogenic inflammation (reduction in the release of substance P). Hence, just 5 minutes after application, Fucogel^® has a neuro-soothing effect on fragile, sensitive skin, by reducing stinging sensations 

MOISTURIZING: Owing to the hygroscopic properties of fucose and its polysaccharide structure, Fucogel^® increases the synthesis of epidermal and dermal hyaluronic acid which decline with age. It has a pleasant moisturizing effect on the skin. 

ANTI-AGING: Owing to its high fucose content, Fucogel^® interacts with keratinocyte lectins to modulate keratinocyte communication within the epidermis, and thus acts on protein synthesis. Fucogel^® thus helps fight against aging by stimulating the synthesis of collagen 1 and proteins contributing to the skin’s longevity: sirtuin 1 (patented). It is thus able to preserve vital cell processes controlled by sirtuins, such as DNA repair and resistance to oxidative stress.  

RESTRUCTURING: Owing to its ability to stimulate sirtuin 1, Fucogel^® also promotes epidermal renewal, with its potential demonstrated by the stimulated expression of three proteins, loricrin, involucrin and SPRR2 markers for differentiation. Fucogel^® thus helps fight against aging by compensating for the natural decline in cell renewal. By restoring barrier quality, Fucogel^® can bring comfort once again to fragile, sensitive skin prone to irritation. 

TOUCH: In cosmetics, wellbeing is procured by comfortable skin, but also by the pleasure derived from applying a product. Fucogel^® thus has the advantage of combining both sensory and active properties. Through its softness, which goes hand in hand with feelings of comfort, wellbeing, and pleasure, Fucogel^® offers a genuine emotional experience.
