Givaudan Active Beauty unveils B-Lightyl™, a gentle and powerful universal dark spot eraser crafted by Marine Biotechnology. Created from a brown macro-alga, B-Lightyl™ is a natural ingredient addressing hyperpigmentation disorders in a preventive and curative way.
B-Lightyl™ Reverts Pigmentation Disorders
Building on the consumers’ strong interest in clean and safe ingredients, Givaudan’s Marine Biotechnology and skin experts have designed B-Lightyl™. The new unique and sustainable macro-alga extract re-establishes the communication between fibroblasts and melanocytes, thereby reverting pigmentation disorders.
“
Himanthalia elongata is a macro-algae growing close to the Pink Granite Coast of Brittany, France. It uses the power of sunlight and captures atmospheric CO2 to produce its key constituents: marine polyphenols, and more specifically phlorotannins,” said Anne Humeau, manager, Marine Biotechnology.
Evaluate Benefits Against Dark Spots
To evaluate the consumers’ benefits of B-Lightyl™ against dark spots and pigmentation disorders, three clinical tests were conducted in double blind versus placebo, on more than 100 volunteers from
various ethnic skin types (Caucasian, Asian and African).
B-Lightyl™ induces a significant decrease of the melanin content in the dark spots of Caucasian volunteers (down to -12.6 percent in one month, more than twice better than placebo), a significant reduction of the number of visible spots on Asian skin (-156 percent in one month) and a significant decline of the melanin content in the hyperpigmentation spot (-327 percent in 2 months) on African skin.
“
We discovered that these powerful marine molecules can reactivate the expression of SDF-1, a key target in hyperpigmentation disorders. It makes this alga one of the most sustainable resources to develop a cosmetic ingredient able to gain control of the skin pigmentation process,” said Humeau.
B-Lightyl™ was formulated by the company experts in an inspirational skin complexion boosting essence called S3D® Oceanist. The luxurious formula combines B-Lightyl™ together with radiance booster, Eutectys™ Sea Fennel, and moisturizing water rich in sea minerals sourced from Brittany. Its “fat water” texture (a 2020 new skincare trend) gives the product a consistency between the essence and the serum, and its delicate smell makes S3D® Oceanist the perfect beauty product to smooth the skin, erase dark spots and even out complexion.
