Decorinyl® functional ingredient

• Regulates the fibrillogenesis process
• Controls fibril dimensions
• Gives suppleness to the skin

Science

• Fibrillogenesis is an essential process in tissue formation, but must be controlled and regulated in order to avoid excessive bundle-like aggregation of collagen. The fibrillogenesis control is the role of decorin, a small leucine-rich proteoglycan, which is associated with collagen fibrils at specific binding sites in the protein core, controlling fibril dimensions, the uniformity of their diameter and their regular spacing.
• Aging skin contains a truncated form of decorin, which lacks binding regions with collagen fibrils, producing a negative effect on the elasticity on the skin.
• Decorinyl® functional ingredient contains a mimic peptide of these binding sequences that has proved to regulate fibrillogenesis, control collagen fibril diameter and increase skin suppleness.

Cosmetic formulations designed for mature skin where an improvement of suppleness and strength of skin is desired.

Decorinyl® functional ingredient increases the skin suppleness and tonicity, improving skin appearance.
