Bicosome® FS is a biomimetic filler that helps to rebuild the structures of the skin inter-corneocyte spaces, working as a repair agent that can be used in the skin, scalp, lips and mucosae. Bicosome® FS targets the intermediate layers of the stratum corneum delivering bilayer-forming lipids that mimic natural ceramides, reinforcing the barrier with biomimetic precision. This restores the skin barrier and boosts the biological functions of deeper layers, such as the elasticity and firmness. Bicosome® FS structures get incorporated in the lipid matrix with long-lasting effects of 7 days. Ideal to be formulated in light serums and different types of emulsions and gels to maintain or restore skin health. It is also recommended to be use together with acids or retinoids to prevent skin damage derived from their use.

Bicoalgae® Blue is a microalgae-based technology that potentiates skin health longevity working as a true senescence antidote. This advanced ingredient combines the regenerative power of blue microalgae Spirulina plantensis with the intense detox provided by Resveratrol in an intelligent nanostructure that targets deep Epidermis and Dermis layers. Bicoalgae® Blue re-activates cell proliferation and energy production in young and pre-senescent skin, also boosting would healing. Bicoalgae® Blue redensifies the Epidermis and promote collagen increase and its 3D re-packing in the Dermis. Clinically, Bicoalgae® Blue proved to restore sootiness and hydration of damaged skin in only 24h. In two weeks, Bicoalgae® Blue was able to improve several biophysical parameters such as hydration, net and biological elasticity. Bicoalgae® Blue is ideal to be included in face and body serums, emulsions and gels for well ageing, as preventive and restoring type of formulas.
Bicoalgae® Omega-3 is a microalgae-based delivery system that works as an inflammaging pro-resolver. Bicoalgae® Omega-3 incorporate two microalgae extracts, N. gaditana and I. galbana, producers of the omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, and deliver them into deep epidermal layers, boosting their effect by over 200%. Its action orchestrates the biosynthesis of SPMs to accelerate endogenous processes of inflammaging resolution. Bicoalgae® Omega-3 reduces age-related pro-inflammatory cytokines and protects the skin from ROS induced by UV-Vis and blue light. Clinically, Bicoalgae® Omega-3 proved to restore TEWL from pathological to healthy levels in four weeks and improved signs of inflammatory conditions of in volunteers with acne, rosacea and atopic dermatitis. Ideal to be included in reparative serums and lotions for sensitive skin and scalp, and to restore the skin after aggressive treatments such as peelings, lasers and alongside retinol-based treatments.
Bicoalgae® XT is an anti-ageing microalgae-based delivery system that promotes a deep skin detox combating ageing acceleration due to modern lifestyle. Bicoalgae® XT boosts the effects of microalgae H. pluvialis, rich in Astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant (65 times stronger than Vitamin C), improving its color, smell and stabilizing its bioactives. Bicoalgae® XT delivers H. pluvialis extract into deep epidermal layers boosting the skin’s antioxidant capacity and accelerating cell renewal. This ingredient was clinically proven to improve skin brightness, firmness and radiance and to reduce visibly wrinkles and skin spots. In addition, Bicoalgae® XT protects the skin against polluting particles and neutralizes the damage of blue light radiation. This ingredient is ideal for daily serum for daily care and sunscreen formulations.
Bicobiome® Scalp is a multi-active delivery system designed to work in four steps to re-balance the microbiome of oily scalp prone to dandruff and promoting a healthy renewal of the scalp skin. Bicobiome® Scalp incorporates a combination of sebostatic, postbiotic and keratolytic agents that are target delivered in different levels of the scalp thanks to the Bicosome® technology. Niacinamide is delivered into hair follicles to regulate oil and reduce inflammation, while the postbiotic Lactobacillus ferment works normalizing the fungal microbiome in the first layers of the skin. The skin matrix is repaired by the fill-up effect of the Bicosome® lipid structures per se, and finally, Salicylic acid promotes a mild desquamation to remove the dandruff in the skin surface, cleaning the environment for a healthier scalp function. Bicobiome® Scalp was clinically proven to re-equilibrate Malassezia spp levels bringing microbiome back to a healthy balance. In 28 days, the scalp was restored with intense reduction of sebum, dandruff and desquamation. Bicobiome® Scalp is ideal for oil-control lotions, anti-dandruff drops or shampoos, microbiome-regulating serums, and soothing scalp formulations.
