Neurocosmetic Science To Address Sensitive Skin And Reactive Scalp

The skin and the nervous system are closely related; sensory neurons that innervate the skin are in charge of sensing external changes (temperature, touch and itch), but they are also involved in sensing internal stimulus and mediate immune responses. The functional regulation mediated by sensory neurons is more evident in sensitive skin condition, thus, regulation of sensory neuron’s activity plays a fundamental role in skin balance. Consequently, studying sensory neurons in product design is a cutting-edge way to develop innovative skin care products. AntalGenics is biotech company expert in the development of neurocosmetic ingredients. Here we present our latests molecules: Calmapsin® and Capsisilence®. Our neurocosmetic ingredient for sensitive skin, Calmapsin®, is a novel capsaicinoid molecule that improves the biological properties of capsaicin. Calmapsin® is an innovative neurocosmetic ingredient that calms itch, protects from oxidative stress, and improves skin barrier function. Capsisilence® is a new neurocosmetic ingredient design to calm itchy scalp. Capsisilence® acts on sensory neurons and immune cells diminishing itch and inflammation, leading to a reduction in scalp redness, flaking and dandruff reappearance.
