Biological Mechanisms Affected by Skin Aging
Biological Mechanisms Affected by Skin Aging
Skin aging is a complex biological process, which results in a decline in biochemical and physiological function, leading to:
- Loss of skin luminosity and smoothness
- Lack of skin tone homogeneity
- Dark circles
- Loss of firmness
- Deep wrinkles
- Dark spots
- Skin dryness
- Sagging skin
- Loss of elasticity
When developing an anti-aging formulation, the formulator faces a very complex task. In addition to proper vehicle selection, emulsifying systems and creating a pleasing and appropriate texture, he has to select the proper active ingredients and comply with stability, cost constraints and regulatory constraints.
Many biological mechanisms are affected by skin aging and suppliers offer a plethora of ingredients. So how to proceed?
- An approach can be to first define carefully the skin benefits that are desired together with selecting a desired texture.
- Once they are defined, one needs to investigate the most efficient active ingredients to achieve the desired effect through thorough literature search.
Let's discuss, in detail, different type of ingredients and their role while formulating anti-aging products...

The choice of texture is very important, reverse emulsion, direct emulsion, triple emulsion, gel, and oils will have an impact on the efficacy of the product.
To ease the selection of ingredients and systems, we have gathered here a list of ingredients that could be used in a formulation for First Signs of Aging: Moisturizer SPF 15 to get even skin tone and minimize lines.
The list of ingredients described in the matrix is non exhaustive. To address the first signs of aging, bringing moisture, correcting lines and improving the skin tone homogeneity, these categories of ingredients are essential.
