DSM confirms efficacy of Regu-Scence made from white asparagus

Published: 6-Aug-2015

Specialty chemicals supplier DSM has confirmed that its Regu-Scence ingredient has been found to be extra effective, following new research into the molecule.

Regu-Science, an extract taken from pure white asparagus from the Navarra region, was shown to be highly effective as an anti-ageing ingredient, delaying the cellular ageing process by stimulating the skin’s own autophagy abilities.

A test carried out on pigmented epidermis equivalents indicated the efficacy of Regu-Scence at 3% to enhance the appearance of a more even skin tone. In vitro, this ingredient has shown a significant down-regulation of tyrosinase marker by up to 65% and of the recently discovered Melan-A marker by up to 30% in a 9-day test.
