Macaderm™ is an innovative anti-aging active from Peruvian maca. It makes skin firmer by improving epidermis cohesion and structure.
Complete name: Maca root extract - Lepidium meyenii
Active markers: Macamides and macaenes
Scientific results:
In vitro study
Macaderm™ :
- Increases collagen IV synthesis by 46 %.
- Enhances integrins synthesis by 54%
Ex-vivo study
Macaderm™ increases in the stratum corneum the expression of genes encoding for:
- Proteins involved in cell-cell junctions- Proteins engaged in the corneocyte maturation
- Enzymes synthesizing the extra cellular matrix molecules
- Cross-linking enzymes in charge of the cohesion between the cell and the extracellular matrix
These results contribute to :
- Improving the density of the basement membrane lattice- Boosting the cellular adhesion mechanism
- Fortifying the stratum corneum cohesion and structuration
Applications: In skin care application to prevent or treat aging signs
