Managing skin-aggravating reactive oxidative species and exposome-induced inflammaging.
September 16, 2021

Editor-in-Chief
Codex Beauty Labs, San Jose, CA, has been granted two US patents related to its newest skincare line, Antu. The range of products helps to combat aging caused by a compromised skin barrier. “We are thrilled that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has acknowledged the innovation behind our plant-based AntuComplex and granted us patents so quickly,” said Dr. Barbara Paldus, Founder and CEO, Codex Beauty Labs. “We have spent years developing the Antu line to help combat aging due to a weakened skin barrier, and we couldn’t be more pleased that our proprietary formulas will be protected. Failure to address a compromised skin barrier can lead to so many skin health issues over time, including the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, random acne flare-ups, and the worst-case scenario of inflammation, which can lead to a rapid and painful deterioration in skin integrity.” The first patent covers Ecocert-approved compositions capable of restoring and strengthening the skin barrier by managing skin aggravating reactive oxidative species (ROS) associated with sunlight, pollution, and the natural aging process. The innovative AntüComplex combines three Patagonian plants (matico, maqui, and murtilla) traditionally used to treat inflammatory conditions with a humectant in a way that synergistically enhances their ability to both neutralize ROS and strengthen the skin barrier. This technology, which can be supplemented with other South American actives known for their immuno-stimulant and analgesic properties, has been clinically proven to restore skin barrier health and alleviate skin aggravation (often called inflammaging). The second patent covers Ecocert-approved compositions capable of proactively protecting skin against exposome-induced inflammaging. The AntuComplex-containing compositions have been scientifically shown to form a protective film on the skin’s surface capable of inhibiting ROS associated with daily exposure to sunlight and pollution (exposome) from contacting the skin and neutralizing them before they have an opportunity to induce premature aging caused by accumulated daily environmental stress. Dr. Paldus spoke in this recent Happi webinar on indie brand development. The Antu products are certified MyMicrobiome, Vegan, Leaping Bunny, EWG Certified and EcoCert COSMOS natural. All products in the line have undergone rigorous efficacy testing and are packaged in negative carbon footprint, airless, touchless tubes. Codex earned its first patents in 2020.
