Givaudan Active Beauty's new Illuminyl 388, is a biotech-enhanced molecule designed to address the challenges of skin pigmentation for all skin types. The active is derived through a unique biocatalysis process from epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)—the well-known antioxidant derived from green tea.
According to Givaudan Active Beauty, at the heart of Illuminyl 388 is a commitment to inclusivity in skincare innovation. This bio-based active has been designed to simultaneously target multiple skin pigmentation pathways and is reinforced by additional prebiotic activity to meet the needs of diverse skin types from Africa, Asia, India and Europe.
In global clinical studies, involving over 200 volunteers comprised of four diverse skin tones (African, Asian, Indian and Caucasian), iIlluminyl 388:
● Improved skin radiance in just two weeks;
● Enhanced skin tone & luminosity in just two weeks;
● Reduced pigmentation spots in just one month; and
● Enhanced skin tone homogeneity, even tackling stubborn age spots.
Illuminyl 388 outperformed vitamin C, according to company researchers. Furthermore, the brightening active works in synergy with the microbiome to preserve the general balance of the skin’s microbiota. Illuminyl 388 has a unique bioavailability with an in-depth skin penetration profile. Its sugar moiety enables its absorption via cellular glucose receptors, while conferring on the molecule a prebiotic activity which stimulates the in-situ release of a niacin-derivative by the skin microflora.
