Mechanism of action

The new Sun-Microbiota-Skin axis
A new category of Microbial Antioxidant
New microbiota pathway to fight the skin photoageing

The concept

The interaction between sun radiation and microbiota can either have a positive or detrimental impact on our skin health and appearance.

Vytrus unveils a new role of skin microbiota in photoageing under the concept of the Photobiome Factor, which involves a certain bacteria community characterized by its capacity to synthesize and release certain molecular components metabolized by the interaction of the microbiota with solar radiation: the solar postbiotics.

The active PHOTOBIOME counteracts and protects the microbiota and the skin cells from the photo-oxidative stress of harming sun radiation and make the Photobiome Factor bring beneficial molecules to the skin cells

The plant

The plant origin is compound of stem cell cultures of Pomegranate and Cotton. The Pomegranate culture is rich in selective cell membrane lipids (main ones: phospholipids, glycolipids, glycerides and free fatty acids). The cell culture is also rich in its polyphenol fraction (plant chromophores), especially ellagic acid as a precursor of urolithins. The Cotton culture is a cell lysate rich in protective cellular factors including a sophisticated cocktail of plant chromophores and antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and photoprotective polyphenols such as gentisic, salicylic, p-coumaric, transferulic, caffeic, and kaempferol acids, quercetin and rutin. The two plant cell cultures have also been enriched with two components of plant origin (sugars) that play a key role as potent protectors and strengtheners of microbial cell membranes.

Mechanism of action

Revitalizing and reinforcing the whole scalp & hair structure
Protein carbonylation prevention and protection from oxidative stress and high temperatures
Boosting whole hair structure of CMC, proteins
Delivering nutrients to hair fibers and enhancing penetration

The concept

Tensegrity is a concept inspired by arquitecture. It explains how changes applied to an area will also exert effects at a distance because everything is interconnected.

A skyscraper must have a good tensegrity (strong enough, but also flexible enough to resist the wind at high altitude). Following this analogy, a healthy hair must have a good tensegrity (strong enough, but also flexible enough to be manageable, soft, easy to comb and maintaining its natural movement).

This integral vision of tensegrity has been transferred to the hair structure, launching the new cosmetic approach of TrichoTensegrity, appealing to the importance of scalp and hair structure and its influence on hair mechanical properties and biology behavior. Hair shaft and scalp are intimately interconnected as a continuum and each part is interdependent from the others.

The plant

ELAYA RENOVA ™ is made from plant stem cells of the wild olive tree sprouts (Olea europaea var. silvestris) through the technology of Plant Cell Biofactories.

Olive trees are characterized for their resilience against drought and high temperatures, their vitality and their longevity. Specifically, this ancestral Mediterranean plant has been chosen because it is an expert in lipids maintains more genetic diversity, providing the whole hair system with a revitalizing capacity through this active.

recognitions and Cetificates

Mechanism of action

Neutralization of stress-related inflammation
High wound healing properties and anti-stress wrinkle efficacy
Highly skin hydration effect
Dermal structure & cutaneous function protection

The concept

Our emotions have a direct effect on our skin. Stress, tiredness or lack of sleep can cause several problems: our immune system is disturbed, making the skin more vulnerable and causing inflammation and dehydration; more wrinkles appear while the existing ones become deeper. There is a loss of elasticity, a delay in wound healing, damage to skin structure and a decrease in barrier function.

Stress has an impact on skin and general appearance that goes from dryness or wrinkles to more serious skin conditions. Vytrus has developed an active that works on the harmful effects of stress on the skin and improve skin health in stressed profiles.

The plant

The Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a tropical and subtropical plant characterized by the existence of very ramified, cylindrical and orange rhizomes, modified roots that act as storage and resistance organs. They grow endlessly and have excellent regenerative properties.

Curcuma longa is one of the most studied plants in biomedicine, having a huge potential, with more than 230 different compounds described, more than 400 pre-clinic assays and more than 3.000 publications sowing its multiple properties (anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, antimicrobial, DNA protecting, etc.).

The concept

Nowadays, people look for ageing gracefully, not to stop aging. Skin aging does not spare anyone. It is a global phenomenon that depends on several factors and it is caused because of an accumulation of skin damages from all our lives and our intrinsic ability to deal with them.

There is a need of a global approximation to deal with this individualized aging signs, which is now a concern for our lives. Vytrus has found a plant strategy that reverse the cell senescence and rebuilds the core skin structure.

The plant

Originally from Asia, Centella asiatica is a little herb from wet zones characterized by its excellent regenerative properties and longevity. It presents a growth by stolons that can be maintained indefinitely.

Traditionally used on the Ayurvedic medicine and rich in centellosides (asiaticoside, madecassoside, etc.), this plant has been used during centuries due to its wound healing, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and adaptogenic properties, among others.

Modulation of inflammatory response in Human Epidermal Progenitor Cells

The concept

Photoinduced aging or photoaging is the result of an accumulation of damage (photo damage) that modifies the cutaneous appearance to a greater or lesser extent.

The most recent trend in photoprotection is to study the existence of a complementary process, whereby the natural photobiological compounds (ARABIAN COTTON™) would show the ability to act on the photodynamic targets (as secondary filters), protecting the cell metabolism and inhibiting inflammatory and degenerative processes whose result is known as photoinduced aging.

The plant

Gossypium herbaceum, the Arabian Cotton, is an extremophile native plant from semi-arid regions of sub Saharan Africa and Arabia.

Due to the hard environmental conditions, Arabian Cotton has developed a great diversity of defensive molecules (phenols and flavonoids) that help the plant cell to protect and repair its structures against sun damage.
