Soliance has announced the launch of two natural solutions to prevent skin ageing: StimuHyal, an elasticity enhancer, and Ellagi-C, a collagen booster.

StimulHyal is a pure powder of calcium 2-cetogluconate obtained by bioconversion of a carbohydrate using renewable vegetablederived resources. Ellagi-C is extracted from the bark of an African tree, Anogeissus leiocarpus. It stimulates vitamin C incorporation into fibroblast to help boosting collagen production. It also exhibits a potent antioxidant property and protects the dermo-epidermal junction by inhibiting MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities.

Humans are constantly exposed to harmful foreign chemicals and materials from exogenous and endogenous sources. As a result, defence mechanisms have evolved to protect against toxin overload.1 Cells are under constant threat from metabolic waste products and xenobiotics. The formation of phase I and phase II metabolism mobilises and excretes these mainly lipophilic toxins.
