Bicoalgae® ω3 is a microalgae-based delivery system that works to resolve ageing resulted from chronic inflammation. Bicoalgae® ω3 reduces age related pro-inflammatory cytokines and protects the skin from ROS induced by UV-Vis and Blue light. In clinical studies, Bicoalgae® ω3 restored TEWL from pathological levels and improved signs and symptoms of skin inflammatory conditions. Bicoalgae® ω3 stabilises and transports two microalgae superfoods, N gaditana and I galbana, rich in EPA and DHA, to deep Epidermal layers, boosting their effects in more than 200%. Bicoalgae® ω3 efficacy relies on its capacity to make these molecules available in deep skin layers for orchestrating the biosynthesis of special mediators (SPMs) that stimulate the resolution of inflammaging. view less

Bicomide® is a delivery system specially developed to oily skin with Blue light protection. The clinical studies showed that Bicomide® regulates the sebum production at source, reducing large pores and the shiny effect. Bicomide® also decreases the population of C acnes on the skin surface, equilibrating the microbiome and promoting a cleaning up effect on acne prone skin volunteers. The bicosomes of Bicomide® were designed to target the follicles. These bicosomes are distributed in the Epidermis surrounding the follicles and the flat skin areas, where they deliver the actives to regulate sebum and microbiome. The bicosome structure per se boosts these effects by strengthening the skin barrier function, which plays an important role in the equilibrium of the microbiome. view less

Clinical Efficacy aims to answer problems related to anomalies of the scalp that alter the healthy aspect of the hair and the quality of life of the people with these anomalies. In this area, the increase or reduction of sebum and oiliness are tested, as well as the appearance or decrease of dandruff caused by the factors mentioned above and the growth and strengthening of the bulb and the hair on subjects with the most diverse types of hair in our extensive subjects’ database. The clinical efficacy area also has a monitored collection of hair swatches for specific studies. Hair Metrology is directed, mainly, to proving the efficacy of cosmetic products in hair swatches acquired from certified suppliers and following a strict ethics code. We do not buy hair from suspect sources of smuggling; we always certify that the hair was donated voluntarily and no damage or trauma was caused to the donor. All the purchased hair goes through a quality control process before being used in tests. In the end, we provide performance evaluation reports of the most common consumer attributes, such as: softness, shine, frizz and volume control, moisturizing, hair conditioning, strength, oil reduction, hydration, breakage reduction, hair loss, anti-dandruff, hair nutrition, repair, heat protection, color maintenance, split ends prevention, curly hair motion, and curl retention. view less | ||
