Active from new cell wall tech

Greenaltech has developed a new technology to manufacture and isolate novel compounds from the microalgae cell wall. It is natural and completely sustainable and opens a new world of innovation potential by exploiting microalgae barrier compounds for skin care.

Algaktiv BioSKN is the first active using this technology and it delivers impressive skin results. It is able to outperform epidermal growth factor (EGF) on primary keratinocytes’ growth and motility. Simultaneously, it demonstrates broad spectrum prebiotic and probiotic enhancing properties. 

Algaktiv BioSKN’s cell renewal power is triggered by the overproduction of transforming growth factor alpha (TNF-α) and the potent cell thickening signal Dikkopf-1 (DKK-1). The scratch tests results are impressive with the ingredient outperforming epidermal growth factor (EGF) in just 18 hours.

It demonstrates a broad and complete prebiotic effect with neutral influence on S. epidermidiswhile clearly reducing problematic species like P. acnes, M. furfurand S. aureus. In addition, it increases the secretion of antimicrobial chemokines like CXCL10 providing both direct and indirect prebiotic efficacy.
