Lucas Meyer Cosmetics, in collaboration with the Infinity Institute in France, has discovered a new protein: LCE6A. LCE6A, part of the ‘Late Cornified Envelope’ protein family, is known to be essential for the mechanical resistance of the corneocytes in the stratum corneum
ABSTRACT
The skin is its own best ally. It acts permanently as a protective barrier against external aggressors. However, these repeated attacks can damage it, resulting in a loss of efficacy in its barrier function, leading to skin water loss (dehydration), and an increase in skin permeability. Over time, this damage contributes to premature skin ageing with visible signs such as the appearance of wrinkles, skin roughness and a decrease in skin tonicity.
Lucas Meyer Cosmetics, in collaboration with the Infinity Institute in France, discovered a new protein: LCE6A. LCE6A, part of the ‘Late Cornified Envelope’ protein family, is known to be essential for the mechanical resistance of the corneocytes in the stratum corneum. By mimicking the LCE6A protein activity, CorneopeptylTM strengthens the corneocyte envelope resulting in a more resilient epidermal barrier with improved skin barrier function demonstrating a reduction of skin permeability and water loss. Substantiated with AI, rebuilding skin barrier consequently future-proofs the skin by reducing the appearance of ageing signs like wrinkles, decreasing skin roughness, and increasing skin tonicity.
