Epseama™

Lucas Meyer Cosmetics - by Clariant

Epseama™, extract from "ugly food" brown macroalgae (kelp) from Geumil Island in South Korea, harnesses epigenetics to target long non-coding RNA nc886 to rejuvenate skin self-renewal and preserve skin youth. Epseama inhibits the production of MMP-9, a collagenase that degrades collagen IV, and increases the production of collagen IV, VII and XVII that are key components of the dermis-epidermis junction. As a consequence, Epseama unifies skin tone, reduces difficult to erase nasolabial wrinkles and improves hydration.
