Mibelle Biochmistry has announced new clinical study results for four of its existing cosmetic ingredients.
The company tested the ability of its InfraGuard antioxidant complex to mitigate potentially harmful effects from 5G radiation, as it had previously been shown to protect the skin from IR and blue light irradiation and oxidative damage caused by pollution.
5G irradiation of keratinocytes led to an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), suggesting an inflammatory response. Treatment with InfraGuard significantly reduced both, thereby protecting skin cells from oxidative stress caused by 5G.
Another test looked at the ability of Mibelle’s KeraGuard natural antioxidant complex, which contains tara tannins and organic sunflower sprout extract, to protect and strengthen nails as well as hair from environmental stressors.
Treating clipped-off nails with 2% KeraGuard was shown to protect them from UV-induced protein oxidation and this was confirmed in a placebo-controlled study, in which 23 women applied a serum containing 2% KeraGuard to their fingernails twice daily for 56 days. They found that nail thickness increased by 7.6% compared to a placebo and most agreed that their nails were harder, stronger and more beautiful.
Another study found that PhytoCellTec Goji significantly improved skin elasticity compared to a placebo control and also led to significant breast lifting, thus reducing breast sagging through an anti-gravity effect. This ingredient had previously been shown to improves the stemness of aged mesenchymal stem cells and boosts exosome signalling, leading to improved collagen and elastin production in fibroblasts
Finally, it was found that daily treatment with a 1% Alpine Rose Active for 28 days had a significant soothing effect on sensitive scalps by helping to clear senescent, or ‘zombie’, cells that accumulate with age. This ingredient can thus prevent inflammation and tissue ageing, the company concluded.
