SEPPIC_Dry_Skin_IngredeintSEPPIC’s wesource™ introduces Hydrachrysum™, an innovative moisturizer offering a solution to break Inflamm’dryness™ vicious circle to tackle dry skin conditions.

Hydrachrysum™ is a patented moisturizing active ingredient that induces a decrease of pro-inflammatory and an increase of pro-resolutive mediators to allow a return to homeostasis and improved barrier function. Hydrachrysum™ increases the number of lacunae, these markers of hydration acting as extracellular water tanks and representing up to 40 percent of the volume of the stratum corneum.

Solution for Skin Dryness and Inflammation


Innovating in the Hydration field is a hard task. We are delighted to reveal Hydrachrysum™, resolves the inflammation process, restores the skin barrier function and boosts skin hydration on the long term. It meets the needs of consumer for effective moisturizing cosmetics,” said Aude Le Grand, Wesource™ product manager.

Dry skin is characterized by tightness, itching, lack of elasticity and overall discomfort. The altered barrier function leads to dehydration, impaired lipid production and an inflammation signaling cascade. Recent scientific progress has linked skin dryness to inflammation: this is the Inflamm’dryness™ phenomenon.

Hydrachrysum™: Natural Ally for Dry Skin


Hydrachrysum™ is the new natural ally of dry skin. Bio-inspired by Helichrysum stoechas, everlasting maritime plant which adapts to its arid ecosystem, Hydrachrysum™ has been developed using SEPPIC’s Celtosome™ biotechnology. The ingredient offers a unique molecular richness made up of hydrophilic and lipophilic molecules derived from the dedifferentiated plant cells and specific ones secreted in the medium.

The ingredient boosts skin moisturization after only 5 days by increasing significantly the number of lacunae +82 percent vs placebo. Hydrachrysum™ is COSMOS and NaTrue approved, Halal certified, and scientifically proven with in-vitro, ex-vivo and in-vivo data at 1 percent.
