CIRCE Scientific, the Spanish company of active ingredients developed through Crystal Engineering technology, presents PTEROYOUTH, a patented, multifunctional cocrystal that facilitates and elevates the anti-ageing power of skin care products to their maximum expression.
CIRCE Scientific has developed products through its proprietary cocrystal engineering platform that bring the benefits of certain active ingredients to their full potential (such as pterostilbene).
Blueberries, "the best anti-ageing fruit"
The secret of blueberries' rejuvenating power is pterostilbene. A molecule produced by blueberry plants to survive exposure to UV radiation, drought, micro-organisms, etc. It can also help human skin to remain more elastic, smooth and youthful over the years. However, the handicap for its optimal use in cosmetics is that, due to its low solubility, it is not an easy molecule to use in skin care products.
"After years of research, at CIRCE Scientific we have managed to create a product, PTEROYOUTH, which provides a solution to this need that we detected in the cosmetics industry. Its function is to improve the solubility of pterostilbene to facilitate its administration, increasing its bioavailability and stability. As a result, we have a revolutionary product that improves the efficacy of cosmetic treatments" says Fernando Barrera, Co-Founder and CEO of CIRCE Scientific.
PTEROYOUTH is a patented, multifunctional cocrystal that combines pterostilbene with picolinic acid, a natural molecule in the human body and a tryptophan derivative that stimulates mineral absorption and the body's immune response. These are the many benefits it brings to the skin:
- Helps skin maintain a healthy structure when exposed to UVA and UVB rays
- Supports optimal cellular response to maintain skin structure when exposed to ionising radiation
- Boosts the body's antioxidant defences
- Increases cellular production of Nrf2 and decreases cellular production of NF-kB, helping skin modulate inflammatory response
- Helps the skin modulate pigmentation associated with environmental stress and ageing
- Boosts the activity of sirtuins, the "longevity enzymes", which regulate cellular activities related to cell vitality and ageing
