Activabiome Leaflet

With the strong belief that science is the skin’s best ally , Dermaceutic’s mission is to provide the right combinations of actives at the most effective concentrations to offer exceptional results for each patient. The presence of revolutionary actives derived from marine algae in the Activabiome night cream provides a variety of nutrients that promote the diversity of the skin’s microbiota and establishes Dermaceutic as the expert in the art of formulation. Thanks to their numerous antibacterial and anti- inflammatory properties , marine algae are the star ingredients used in skincare targeting acne- prone skin. Our R&D department has sourced the finest actives derived from two species of marine algae, the microbiota regulator and the purifying active , to best meet the needs of acne-prone skin. Zinc sulfate has been added to the purifying active for a complete antibacterial action. A study carried out on this active proved its ability to improve skin disorders (pH, redness, imperfections) by reinforcing the diversity of the microbiota . In one week of treatment, volunteers noted an overall improvement in their skin’s health and beauty.* VIRTUES ORIGINS The marine active ingredients used in the Activabiome night cream are of natural origin and developped either in a bioreactor or in a marine environment. Marine biodiversity is overflowingwith inspirational ecosystems. The symbiosis between the Laminaria Digitata algae and a marine bacteria synthesizes a large variety of original polysaccharides. These marine polysaccharides and their derivatives are a source of innovative molecules with original and specific biological properties, which may be used in the formulation of skincare products. Dermaceutic was inspired by these marine examples and, by studying their symbiosis, used the intelligence gathered to formulate the Activabiome cream, giving it unrivalled originality and efficacy. Biomimicry is a process of innovation and engineering which takes inspiration from shapes, substances, properties, processes, functions and solutions invented by nature. Dermaceutic uses an active which is inspired by the symbiosis of a particular algae - Laminaria Digitata - and a marine bacteria . When the algae is attacked by a pathogenic agent, a specific enzyme is released to digest the alginates of the algae’s membrane. This produces oligoalginates, otherwise known as polysaccharides. These oligoalginates activate the algae’s defense mechanisms to neutralize the pathogenic agents . WHAT IS BIOMIMICRY? HOW ARE THEY DEVELOPED? These actives are developed based on research on the biology of algae and microalgae, the analysis of key molecules and their possible uses on skin. Dermaceutic sources this innovative ingredient from a dedicated partner who cultivates the highest quality of algae in anoptimal and controlled environment. They invest in the preservation and wellbeing of the species in both a marine culture and through a high technology photobioreactor which controls the production of microalgae to guarantee their sustainability . To synthesize this active, Dermaceutic has partnered with a supplier who reproduces this mechanism in a laboratory, and through ecologically-responsible methods, in order to transfer its benefits to acne-prone skin. 7 Focus on marine algae *In vivo study of Oxybiome in combination with Activabiome on 23 volunteers for 28 days.
