Humectants (hydrators and moisture retainers) 

Cosphaderm® Sodium Hyaluronate low 5

INCI: Sodium Hyaluronate

Containing the lowest molecular size of the salt form of hyaluronic acid, it is able to penetrate deep into the dermis where it can act as a humectant, conditioning agent and anti-inflammatory to provide deep penetrating and long-lasting moisturization. It is a mucopolysaccharide of 3-5 kDa that provides excellent moisturizing and skincare properties including reducing wrinkle depth and increasing elasticity.

Cosphaderm® Sodium Hyaluronate low can reduce the depth of wrinkles by approximately 11 % after 60 days. The long-term humidification of skin will be increased by approximately 16 % and the skin elasticity by approximately 13%. 

Unimoist U-125 G

INCI: Glycerin (and) Urea (and) Saccharide Hydrolysate (and) Magnesium Aspartate (and) Glycine (and) Alanine (and) Creatine

Comprised of several essential amino acids, and magnesium, this complex acts as a moisturizing agent. It is a complete combination of active substances which are very similar to those of the natural moisturizing factor (NMF) naturally present within the skin. It brings about a normalization of the water content of the epidermis, thus producing an improvement in suppleness and elasticity and at the same time preventing premature ageing of the skin.

Lactic acid

A gentle chemical exfoliant in the group known as alpha-hydroxy acids or AHA’s, which work to remove dead skin cells and hydrate the skin. It helps to minimize acne breakouts, brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Butylene glycol

Butylene glycol is a humectant and penetration booster. Research shows butylene glycol not only helps to increase water content in skin but may also assist to decreasing roughness on the surface of skin.

Leucidal® Liquid

INCI: Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate

An antimicrobial peptide produced from the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria Leuconostoc Kimichii. It is a moisturizing ingredient that can be used as a natural preservative in all Eunoia products as it acidifies its environment and through the production of an antimicrobial peptide that it produces as a defense mechanism. It retains the effectiveness of the formula and allows for the elimination of traditional preservatives that may disrupt the microbiome and cause sensitivity.

 A skin moisturization study was performed with results showing the addition of the leucidial provided a 10% increase in moisturization.

Cell-communicating Ingredients 

Skinmimics®

INCI: Ceramide EOP; Ceramide EOS; Ceramide NP; Ceramide NS; Ceramide AP; Caprooyl Phytospingosine; Caprooyl Sphingosine; Ceteareth-25; Glycerin; Cetyl Alcohol; Behenic Acid; Cholesterol

Skinmimics® is a high-tech Ceramide complex that provides skin protection, prevention and regeneration. It is a skin-identical composition made up of specific long-chain ceramides, vegetable derived cholesterol and free fatty acid. This composition is combined with unique signalling molecules (Sphingokines®).

In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that Skinmimics displays a 3-in-1 benefit, especially on mature skin. It could be shown that Skinmimics significantly replenishes skin’s own protective barrier. Furthermore, this active is able to revitalize normal to dry skin by optimizing the total epidermal moisturizing system.

Niacinamide

Also known as Vitamin B3 and Nicotinamide, it is a multipurpose ingredient that acts as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that assists in several skin concerns. In addition to promoting repair mechanisms and reinforcing the protective skin barrier, it regulates oil production, stimulates collagen and ceramide production, minimizes fine lines and wrinkles and fades hyperpigmentation.

Microbiome Regulating Ingredients 

Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate

A nutrient-dense byproduct of the fermentation process using the Galactomycess candidus yeast, this works at a cellular level by increasing the absorption ability of the skin. It has anti-aging properties to improve elasticity and revitalize and plump up the skin. It also brightens the skin, reduces irritation, minimizes pore size and controls sebum production.

Ecoskin®

INCI: Alpha-glucan oligosaccharide; Polymnia sonchifolia (Yacón) root juice; Maltodextrin; Lactobacillus

Ecoskin® is a pre/probiotic complex that acts as a radiance promoter. It made of α-glucooligosaccharides (GOS), fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and lactobacillus probiotic bacteria, (L. casei, L, acidophilus). It promotes the balance of the skin microbiota by acting as a substrate for commensal bacteria and strengthening the natural defence of the skin. It enhances the radiance of the complexion by improving the complexity of the skin surface, by decreasing the average depth of the micro-relief furrows (smoothing effect) and by a restructuring and smoothing effect.

 Evaluated against placebo, on a panel of subjects with very dry skin, Ecoskin® enhances the skin’s radiance by reducing the average depth of the micro-furrows, restructuring the skin, while nourishing it and reducing feelings of discomfort. 

Fensebiome™ peptide solution

INCI: Water (Aqua), Acetyl Heptapeptide-4, Caprylyl Glycol

Fensebiome™ peptide helps boost the skin’s own defence system by promoting microbiota balance, diversity and an increase in beneficial bacteria and by improving the skin immune response and the physical barrier integrity. Heptapeptide is intended to strengthen vulnerable skin by reinforcing the physical and microbial skin barrier function while helping prevent dehydration.

The ability of the peptide to modulate the skin microbiome was assessed by means of a metagenomics study. After 7 days an increase in the bacterial diversity was observed on the skin, as well as a better balance of the microbiota leading to healthier and better-protected skin. 

BIOME Oléoactif®

INCI: Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (and) Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil (and) Bacillus Ferment

Is a fermentation-derived active that is produced by capturing rare lipids from a wild extremophile microorganism then offering them to the skin and its microbiota. It acts as a prebiotic and can regulate the skin microbiota and reinforce the skin barrier function. It creates a holistic system that promotes healthy, youthful & beautiful skin. BIOME Oléoactif® balances the skin microbiota and maintains the integrity of the epidermal barrier. It exhibits moisturizing, restructuring, soothing and emollient properties. It has a unique composition of innovative active molecules.

In vitro test on skin as well as a clinical test on cutaneous microbiota (16S rDNA sequencing) showed that proved BIOME Oléoactif® preserves the bacterial diversity and microbiota global composition of healthy skin, thus balancing and protecting the critical skin-microbiome ecosystem.

Brighteners (pigment reducers)

Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract

An extract with skin-soothing, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that calms redness in sensitive skin, acne-prone skin. It can reduce uneven skin tone by inhibiting the production of an enzyme needed to produce pigment in the skin and contains an enzyme that helps to fade existing pigmentation.
