NEW MICROBIAL ANTIOXIDANT

FIGHTING MICROBIAL-INDUCED PHOTOAGEING

IMPROVING SKIN TONE, FIRMNESS, ELASTICITY AND WRINKLES

About the active

Helping your microbiota photoprotect itself to counterattack skin photodamage.

PHOTOBIOME™ is a prebiotic active from plant stem cells that stimulates the skin bacteria to release its own natural photo-defense molecules to photoprotect itself and fight the skin photoageing process.

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 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

Inhibition of melanin synthesis
Protective antioxidant effect
Inhibition of melanosome maturation and transference
Melanosome transport inhibition

The concept

Lightening is a new well-aging strategy. Nowadays, a beautiful skin is expected to have fewer wrinkles, flawless complexion and an even skin tone.

Spot reduction and lightening have become a global concern as well, so Vytrus proposes a plant strategy to control skin pigmentation and improves the general appearance through the melanogenesis inhibition with a natural active.

The plant

Punica granatum, the Pomegranate, has historically been considered one of the most ancient medicinal foods.

Extracts from different parts of the plants have been reported to show strong antioxidant activity associated to a rich content of polyphenols, being considered a super-fruit. Pharmacological research has also proven its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
