Givaudan Active Beauty unveils Illuminyl™ 388, a biotech-enhanced molecule designed through cell-free glycosylation. It is developed to address the challenges of skin pigmentation for all skin types.
Ingenious Brightening Molecule that Delivers Holistic Luminous Effect
Crafted through a unique biocatalysis process from EGCG, green tea’s most iconic antioxidant, this ingenious brightening molecule delivers a holistic luminous effect.
At the heart of
Illuminyl™ 388 is a commitment to inclusivity in skincare innovation.
This bio-based active is designed to simultaneously target multiple skin pigmentation pathways. It is reinforced by additional prebiotic activity to meet the needs of diverse skin types from Africa, Asia, India, and Europe.
Givaudan Active Beauty conducted in-depth and global clinical studies involving over 200 volunteers representing four different skin tones (African, Asian, Indian, and Caucasian), which in turn demonstrated that Illuminyl™ 388 is able to:
- Improve skin radiance in just 2 weeks
- Enhance skin tone & luminosity in just 2 weeks
- Reduce pigmentation spots in just 1 month
- Enhance skin tone homogeneity, even tackling stubborn age spots
Illuminyl™ 388 has a unique bioavailability with a deep skin penetration profile. Its sugar moiety allows it to be absorbed via cellular glucose receptors, while at the same time providing the molecule with prebiotic activity that stimulates the in-situ release of a niacin-derivative by the skin microflora.
“Clinical studies conducted on four different skin types underline the universal efficacy of this skin illuminating active. Givaudan Active Beauty continues to push the boundaries of innovation with Illuminyl™ 388: we are not only targeting all the major pigmentation pathways but we also trigger the skin microbiota to produce whitening postbiotics."
"Whether it’s improving skin radiance and luminosity, promoting even skin tone, or reducing pigmentation spots, Illuminyl™ 388 outperforms traditional benchmarks such as vitamin C. It is a testament to our commitment to redefining beauty standards and empowering individuals worldwide," said Daniel Auriol, scientific director, Biotechnology, Active Beauty.
Achieving a B-Biome™ Score of ’B’, this brightening active works in synergy with the microbiome to preserve the general balance of the skin’s microbiota.
