Givaudan Active Beauty (stand 1C62) proudly introduces Neuroglow, an active ingredient designed to safely replicate all the positive effects of the sun, according to the company. Crafted by Green Fractionation from Persicaria tinctoria, Neuroglow is sourced from Provence. The company notes that besides boosting vitamin D production, sunlight is recognized for its positive impact on mood and energy while contributing to a healthy appearance thanks to its desirable tanning effects.
With more consumers spending more time indoors, Neuroglow is a response to a growing demand for those positive effects associated with sunlight exposure. Research indicates that 80% of US Gen Z consumers seek cosmetics that positively influence their mood. Neuroglow mimics the beneficial properties of sunlight, stimulating production of melanin (+126%) and promoting the skin’s release of wellbeing molecules such as beta-endorphin (+43%), vitamin D (+345%) and oxytocin (+229%).
By boosting melanin production, Neuroglow prepares the skin for sun exposure, allowing for a faster, healthier, more natural and better protected tan. What’s more, it improves general wellbeing and energy levels at the same time as preventing potential inflammatory damage caused by the sun, according to Givaudan Active Beauty.
The results from the first clinical trial demonstrated a remarkable phototype shift in 76% of participants in just 7 days, moving from phototype II to phototype III, and of these, 40% even shifted to a darker phototype IV, compared to 0% in the placebo group. In a second clinical trial involving volunteers experiencing seasonal mood changes due to lack of sunlight, Neuroglow reduced tiredness, increased feelings of affection and improved "winter blues," with over 80% of volunteers reporting a positive score.
