Destress your skin with Asyntra^® D-Stress

Sytheon introduces the "Destress Your Skin" concept, which focuses on calming and balancing the skin. Anandamide plays a key role by crossing cells with FABP-5 to maintain a balanced level of activity.

This interaction reduces cortisol, which helps reduce stress and improves the skin barrier. Asyntra^® D-Stress also enhances the half-life, stability, and moisturizing effects of anandamide, supported by scientific studies linking stress, skin health and the endocannabinoid system.

Overall, Asyntra^® D-Stress provides a holistic approach to addressing stress-related skin concerns and promoting a balanced, healthy complexion.

SYTHEON's Top 5 Skin Care Ingredients Trends for 2024

In response to the ever-growing demand for innovative skincare solutions tailored to combat environmental stressors and common skin issues, Sytheon presents its highly anticipated Top 5 Skin Care Ingredients Trends for 2024.

As consumers continue to spend more time commuting, traveling, and engaging in outdoor activities, the necessity for skincare products that shield and revitalize the skin becomes increasingly evident. .

Trend 1: Skin Barrier Repair & Hydration

Xerosis, or dry skin affects nearly one third of the population and can lead to conditions like eczema. Skin health relies on a strong barrier of corneocytes and lipids, essential for infection prevention and temperature regulation. Barrier repair ingredients provide effective skincare solutions.

A Smart Skin Hydrator & Barrier Builder: Hydra Synol DOI

Hydra Synol^® DOI is a multifunctional skin hydrator and barrier enhancer, offering tailored hydration according to individual skin moisture needs. Clinically proven to deliver sustained (>48 hours) and regulated hydration, it also acts as a skin barrier fortifier.

Trend 2: Problem Skin

Acne remains a pervasive concern affecting approximately 50 million Americans annually. As a result, there's an ongoing demand for skincare solutions tailored to tackle this issue. Considering the complexity of acne, which lacks a singular cause, effective anti-acne products in 2024 are likely to necessitate a comprehensive approach.

Sytenol^® A, Bakuchiol, hailed as the genuine alternative to Retinol, continues to gain traction among customers seeking anti-acne skincare products. Offering the benefits of retinol without the adverse effects often experienced by individuals with sensitive skin, Bakuchiol stands out for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an appealing choice for those with acne-prone skin.

Trend 3: Microbiome Optimization

In the realm of personal care products, there is a growing emphasis on improving the skin's microbiome to enhance overall skin health. The skin hosts a diverse array of microorganisms, some beneficial, while an excess of others can lead to skin issues. To promote healthy skin and prevent microbiome-related problems, consumers are seeking skincare solutions that support microbiome diversity.

A novel addition to skincare formulations, Microbiome Friendly, 27/7 with Synoxyl^® AZ (INCI: Acetyl Zingerone), is designed to support a harmonious balance of skin bacteria by activating the beneficial Staphylococcus epidermidis. Through clinical research, Acetyl Zingerone has demonstrated its ability to not only counteract various indicators of photoaging but also safeguard the rich diversity of the skin's microbiome, thereby promoting the attainment of peak skin health.

Trend 4: Pollution Protection

There's a renewed trend for skincare products that protect against damage caused by outdoor pollution like UV radiation and indoor pollution such as blue-light exposure from screens.

The Holistic solution to Pollution Synastol^® TC (INCI: Terminalia Chebula Fruit Extract) offers a versatile approach to combat environmental stressors. Scientific evidence highlights its efficacy in minimizing the generation of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxides triggered by sunlight exposure, airborne pollutants, and blue light emissions. Additionally, it mitigates the inflammatory response induced by pollution, as evidenced by the reduction of pro-inflammatory biomarkers IL-6 and IL-8.
 

Trend 5: Minimalism

Customers increasingly seek minimalistic skincare, opting for fewer products with simplified ingredient lists. Embrace this trend by utilizing multifunctional ingredients, providing essential benefits while reducing the number of components in your formulations, all according to the motto: less is more.

Synoxyl^® AZ is a versatile compound offering diverse anti-aging benefits suitable for both sun care and daily skincare routines. This unique active ingredient delivers comprehensive antioxidant properties, enhances the skin's natural defenses against environmental stressors, promotes skin rejuvenation by balancing microbiome diversity, diminishing wrinkle severity, reducing pigmentation intensity, and alleviating redness. Additionally, it aids in preparing the skin for sun exposure by counteracting signs of photo-damaged skin and mitigating immediate and delayed skin damage caused by UV radiation.
