A revolutionary skincare range based on Phytomelatonin Oil, a lipophilic extract rich in melatonin with effective dermocosmetics properties and emotional benefits both on the skin and the mood, which creates harmony between our exterior and interior beauty
Through the skin, to the soul
Researchers have extensively studied the role of melatonin in plants, which has fundamentally a twofold function:
-
It regulates photoperiods by modulating the life processes taking information from time and/or light;
-
It acts as an antioxidant by neutralizing oxygen free radicals caused by ultraviolet radiations.
The first studies around the benefit on humans of melatonin extracted from plants were carried out in the mid 90’s , first on edible plants, and subsequently on medical plants from the Alpine and Mediterranean regions. These studies have shown that nutritional supplementation of plant melatonin in systemic therapy, physiologically improve melatonin levels.
Finally, extensive experimental studies have demonstrated that regular dermocosmetic application of phytomelatonin helps contrast the skin biological damage of photoaging and chronoaging, thanks to its strong lipophilicity* properties properties by which the phytomelatonin oil is absorbed by the stratum corneum, deposited into the dermis and slowly
and continuously released into the skin.
Melatonin is a hormone released by our body, mainly by the pineal gland at night, and is associated with control of the sleep / wake cycle, according to the alternation between light and dark.
-
The night darkness activates the synthesis of this hormone, the light of the day reduces it. This alternation effectively and naturally regulates the rhythm of the body physiological processes.
-
When these are altered, melatonin in the form of dietary supplement helps treat insomnia, jet lag, and work shifts related stress.
Phytomelatonin is the vegetal equivalent of human melatonin identified in specific Alpine and Mediterranean plants. It mainly performs a dual function:
1. it regulates the photoperiodism of plants, i.e. the processes related to the times and duration of light (leaf movements, growth, seed germination , etc.);
2. acts as antioxidant, counteracting the phenomena of exposure to stress conditions that cause oxidative damage (high or low temperatures, pollutants, ozone, UV rays, etc.).
Precious oil extracted by an exclusive process from the plants of Avena sativa, Achillea millefolium and Salvia officinalis.
This active substance exerts a modulating action on cell renewal, improves the resistance of the skin and revitalizes it through an antioxidant, moisturizing and protective action.
Phytomelatonin Effegilab has marked a real revolution in cosmetics, evolving it into psychocosmetics. An "intelligent" active ingredient, it acts on the imbalances of the organism, restoring the harmony at the basis of outer and inner beauty:
• Applied on the skin, it normalizes the dynamics of the dermis and penetrates the organism with deep positive repercussions
• In synergy with the food supplement Melatonin Complex maximizes results, acting as a recoder of physical and mental well-being
Clinical trial on efficacy
1. ANTIOXIDANT
Innovative colorimetric test that highlights the antioxidant capacity of Phytomelatonin Oil on keratinocytes.
2. REMODELING
Innovative colorimetric test that highlights the remodeling capacity of Phytomelatonin Oil on the cytoskeleton.
3. REGENERATING
Innovative colorimetric test that highlights the skin’s proliferation and regeneration ability of Phytomelatonin Oil on the cytoskeleton.
4. ANTI - WRINKLE*
Test on 43 subjects with signs of chronological and photo-induced aging with daily application of Phytomelatonin Oil.
Conclusions
In conclusion, our study demonstrated
that PM affected several aspects of human keratinocytes biology ranging from
the promotion of cell survival to a protective effect against oxidative damage.
In addition, our results highlight an epigenetic modulation of this compound, paving the way for the use of Phytomelatonin
as an advanced cosmetic tool in the improvement of
skin performance.
