Topical use of BiovaDerm, a water-soluble egg membrane (WSEM) ingredient manufactured in the U.S. by Biova LLC, Johnston, IA, was shown to reduce the appearance of wrinkles after eight weeks, according to an open-label study published in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology.
Research showed daily topical use of BiovaDerm on facial skin significantly reduced the appearance of wrinkles after eight weeks, as measured across three parameters: roughness, contour, and depth. This study corroborates results seen in Biova’s prior trial research studies. Further, the researchers pointed to WSEM’s association with additional mechanisms of cellular activity whereby BiovaDerm might offer natural skin health support and restoration, especially under conditions of oxidative stress, thus contributing to prophylactic anti-aging effects among other applications.
“We’re seeing significant interest in BiovaDerm because there’s a large consumer market of adults concerned with overall health, skin care and the effects of aging,” said Kathy Hockla, channel manager for Biova. “BiovaDerm is unique—it offers formulators a new, natural, research-proven ingredient to support skin care and reduce the visible signs of aging and facial wrinkles.” In its formulary state, BiovaDerm has an off-white color, with a mild, easy-to-mask scent from which to develop formulations for lotions, creams, and other topical applications, the company said.
