Soliance has announced that it will launch at in-cosmetics two natural solutions to prevent skin ageing: StimuHyal, an elasticity enhancer, and Ellagi-C, a collagen booster.
Ellagi-C is extracted from the bark of an African tree, Anogeissus leiocarpus. This natural active ingredient helps the skin recover its youthful resilience and firmness through three synergistic activities. It stimulates vitamin C incorporation into fibroblast to help boosting collagen production. Ellagi-C also exhibits a potent anti-oxidant property and protects the dermo-epidermal junction by inhibiting MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities. It has been proved by an in vivo study (panel, 19 volunteers) that 2% Ellagi-C visibly and significantly decreases the wrinkle depth in 14 days vs. placebo.
