The Hydration Hero: Polyglutamic Acid (PGA)

Meet the new star of skincare: Polyglutamic Acid, also known as PGA. This innovative, water-soluble peptide is derived from fermented soybeans and naturally occurs in our bodies. PGA is celebrated for its extraordinary hydrating properties and impressive anti-aging benefits.

MOA_Header.jpg

What makes Polyglutamic Acid so special?

PGA acts like an invisible shield that helps your skin retain moisture for longer. This keeps your skin hydrated, smooth, firm and radiant. But PGA is more than just a moisturizer: The are endless benefits of Gamma-MAX and Gamma-Oligo such as:

  • Both PGA Gamma-MAX and Gamma-Oligo effectively prevent the breakdown of HA by inhibiting hyaluronidase, thereby extending the life of HA in the skin.
  • Improves skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more youthful appearance.

How Is PGA Sourced?

Polyglutamic Acid is extracted from traditional fermented soybean foods such as natto (Japan) and chunkookjang (Korea). It is produced through a controlled fermentation process using a special, non-GMO strain of Bacillus subtilis to ensure the highest quality.

PGA vs. Hyaluronic Acid
While both Polyglutamic Acid and Hyaluronic Acid are known for their hydrating abilities, PGA offers additional benefits. It can hold up to 5,000 times its weight in water—much more than Hyaluronic Acid. Moreover, PGA enhances the skin's natural moisturizing factor, helping to regulate and maintain moisture levels within the skin. For a pro tip, combine PGA with Hyaluronic Acid to create the Dream Team of moisturization!

Incorporating PGA in new products can meet rising consumer demand for effective skincare, positioning your brand at the forefront of beauty innovation.

SYTHEON's Top 5 Skin Care Ingredients Trends for 2024

In response to the ever-growing demand for innovative skincare solutions tailored to combat environmental stressors and common skin issues, Sytheon presents its highly anticipated Top 5 Skin Care Ingredients Trends for 2024.

As consumers continue to spend more time commuting, traveling, and engaging in outdoor activities, the necessity for skincare products that shield and revitalize the skin becomes increasingly evident. .

 

Sytheon-trends-2024.jpg

Trend 1: Skin Barrier Repair & Hydration

Xerosis, or dry skin affects nearly one third of the population and can lead to conditions like eczema. Skin health relies on a strong barrier of corneocytes and lipids, essential for infection prevention and temperature regulation. Barrier repair ingredients provide effective skincare solutions.

A Smart Skin Hydrator & Barrier Builder: Hydra Synol DOI

Hydra Synol® DOI is a multifunctional skin hydrator and barrier enhancer, offering tailored hydration according to individual skin moisture needs. Clinically proven to deliver sustained (>48 hours) and regulated hydration, it also acts as a skin barrier fortifier.


Trend 2: Problem Skin

Acne remains a pervasive concern affecting approximately 50 million Americans annually. As a result, there's an ongoing demand for skincare solutions tailored to tackle this issue. Considering the complexity of acne, which lacks a singular cause, effective anti-acne products in 2024 are likely to necessitate a comprehensive approach.

Sytenol® A, Bakuchiol, hailed as the genuine alternative to Retinol, continues to gain traction among customers seeking anti-acne skincare products. Offering the benefits of retinol without the adverse effects often experienced by individuals with sensitive skin, Bakuchiol stands out for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an appealing choice for those with acne-prone skin.


Trend 3: Microbiome Optimization

In the realm of personal care products, there is a growing emphasis on improving the skin's microbiome to enhance overall skin health. The skin hosts a diverse array of microorganisms, some beneficial, while an excess of others can lead to skin issues. To promote healthy skin and prevent microbiome-related problems, consumers are seeking skincare solutions that support microbiome diversity.

A novel addition to skincare formulations, Microbiome Friendly, 27/7 with Synoxyl® AZ (INCI: Acetyl Zingerone), is designed to support a harmonious balance of skin bacteria by activating the beneficial Staphylococcus epidermidis. Through clinical research, Acetyl Zingerone has demonstrated its ability to not only counteract various indicators of photoaging but also safeguard the rich diversity of the skin's microbiome, thereby promoting the attainment of peak skin health.

Trend 4: Pollution Protection

There's a renewed trend for skincare products that protect against damage caused by outdoor pollution like UV radiation and indoor pollution such as blue-light exposure from screens.

The Holistic solution to Pollution Synastol® TC (INCI: Terminalia Chebula Fruit Extract) offers a versatile approach to combat environmental stressors. Scientific evidence highlights its efficacy in minimizing the generation of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxides triggered by sunlight exposure, airborne pollutants, and blue light emissions. Additionally, it mitigates the inflammatory response induced by pollution, as evidenced by the reduction of pro-inflammatory biomarkers IL-6 and IL-8.
 

Trend 5: Minimalism

Customers increasingly seek minimalistic skincare, opting for fewer products with simplified ingredient lists. Embrace this trend by utilizing multifunctional ingredients, providing essential benefits while reducing the number of components in your formulations, all according to the motto: less is more.

Synoxyl® AZ is a versatile compound offering diverse anti-aging benefits suitable for both sun care and daily skincare routines. This unique active ingredient delivers comprehensive antioxidant properties, enhances the skin's natural defenses against environmental stressors, promotes skin rejuvenation by balancing microbiome diversity, diminishing wrinkle severity, reducing pigmentation intensity, and alleviating redness. Additionally, it aids in preparing the skin for sun exposure by counteracting signs of photo-damaged skin and mitigating immediate and delayed skin damage caused by UV radiation.
