Laboratoires Expanscience is launching a new anti-ageing, plumping and detoxifying active. Effipulp (INCI: Hydrolyzed Avocado Protein (and) Maltodextrin) stimulates the endogenous synthesis of hyaluronic acid to restore volume to mature, dehydrated and stressed skin. Effipulp could also be used in formulations that complement esthetic cosmetic procedures.
The cells recover their functions thanks to Effipulp’s detoxifying effect and their ability to synthetise hygroscopic molecules, such as hyaluronic acid is improved. In addition, it promotes the production of filaggrine and transglutaminase for preserving moisture thanks to a better stratum corneum cohesion.
Laboratoires Expanscience conducted a randomized, double-blind study wherein 49 women with dry, sensitive skin and an average age of 49 were either given a cream formulated with 0.6% of the active or a placebo cream.
The creams were applied twice-daily to facial skin for 56 days, and the plumping effect was assessed by quantifying the variation in epidermal volume using an accurate and innovative technique, optical coherence tomography (OCT). Whereas the placebo had no significant effect, application of the cream with the active resulted in a 6.1% increase in epidermis volume.
The active is recommended at 0.1-0.6% in anti-aging, plumping and detoxifying skin care. It is approved for the formulation of finished products certified by Ecocert.
