Fucogel is a water-soluble, multifunctional ingredient that can provide soothing, moisturizing, anti-aging, restructuring, tactile and smoothing benefits to cosmetic formulations.
Fucogel is an anionic polysaccharide rich in Fucose.
Fucogel is produced from plant-based raw materials through biotechnological fermentation and has a highly controlled viscosity. Fucogel is a water-soluble and multifunctional ingredient that can provide the following benefits in cosmetic formulations.
Soothing :
Thanks to its unique ability to reduce the hyperreactivity of sensory nerve fibers, by inhibiting the activation of the ASIC receptor pathway in response to an irritant, Fucogel immediately relieves neurogenic inflammation (reduced release of substance P). Thus, just 5 minutes after application, Fucogel has a neuro-soothing effect on fragile and sensitive skin, reducing tingling sensations.
Moisturizer :
Thanks to the hydroscopic properties of fucose and its polysaccharide structure, Fucogel increases the synthesis of epidermal and dermal hyaluronic acid, which decreases with age. It has a pleasant moisturizing effect on the skin.
Anti-Aging:
Thanks 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 aging by stimulating the synthesis of collagen 1 and proteins contributing to skin longevity: sirtuin 1 (patented ingredient). It is thus able to preserve vital cellular processes controlled by sirtuins, such as DNA repair and resistance to oxidative stress.
Restructure :
Thanks to its ability to stimulate sirtuin 1, Fucogel also promotes epidermal renewal, its potential being demonstrated by the stimulated expression of three proteins, loricrin, involucrin and SPRR2 differentiation markers. Fucogel thus helps fight aging by compensating for the natural decline in cell renewal. By restoring the quality of the barrier, Fucogel can once again bring comfort to fragile, sensitive and irritation-prone skin.
