Biocogent describes a dual botanical extract that ameliorates the negative impacts of at least four distinct hallmarks of ageing: chronic inflammation, (inflammaging), altered intercellular communication, epigenetic alterations, and diminished proteostasis. These benefits appear to be promulgated by the material’s activity focusing on the dermal-epidermal junction
Modern cosmetic scientists have expended considerable time and effort to elucidate why some people may visibly age quicker or slower than others despite being the same age chronologically. These investigations have built towards an understanding of the collective phenomena responsible for 'biological ageing', the cumulative effects of which either accelerate the deterioration or maintain the resiliency of youthful skin.
Colloquially speaking, living forever is not sufficient for current consumers unless they also "age well". For that desire to be met, cosmetic care active ingredients must both prevent the onset of the physical features of ageing as well as and restore and sustain skin resiliency.
The design, development, and launch of active materials that address such lofty goals continues to be an extremely complicated endeavour requiring a comprehensive understanding of why skin loses its elasticity and strength over time, why hyperpigmentation develops, and of course, why wrinkles form. Many scientific studies have illustrated that the prominent fibres of the extracellular matrix (ECM), such as collagen and elastin, diminish in abundance as we get older.1
