Corneopeptyl
Company Name
Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant
Entry Description
Repeated attacks can damage the skin barrier, leading to water loss, increased permeability and, eventually, premature aging. Lucas Meyer Cosmetics, collaborating with the Infinity Institute, discovered a new protein: LCE6A known to be essential for mechanical resistance of corneocytes. By mimicking LCE6A activity, Corneopeptyl strengthens the corneocyte envelope resulting in a more resilient epidermal barrier with improved function and reduced permeability. Using AI and a patented algorithm, Corneopeptyl was demonstrated to future-proof skin by reducing the appearance of aging signs, with a rejuvenating effect of up to 4 years younger. It is patented and obtained by green chemistry-based synthesis.
