New to Sederma’s slate of active ingredients is Mel[O]stem— among the only actives addressing both dark and white pigment disorders for an even complexion.
Solar lentigo (dark spots) and idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis (flat white spots or “white freckles”) are two different pigment disorders both caused by sun damage to the melanocyte and its environment. In a clinical study, Mel[O]stem’s holistic approach focuses on melanocyte’s balance for proper activity, with an expert-measured 64% improvement of complexion evenness versus placebo, said the company.
Combining performance and sustainability, this ingredient is obtained from plant cell culture of scarlet beebalm leaves. It comes with unique sustainable attributes: drastic water consumption reduction, 100% waste recovery biotechnology process, unique plant sampling. In addition to global environment preservation, Mel[O]stem nurtures the melanocyte environment and increases skin’s sun capital.
