Lapagyl™ advanced botanical ingredient

Science

Telomeres consist of repetitive nucleotide sequences at the end of chromosomes that act as caps to protect the genetic data. With each cell division, telomeres become shorter, leading to a loss in chromosome protection and eventually, to cellular senescence. By adding telomere repeats to the end of chromosomes, the telomerase enzyme complex is key to counteract telomere shortening. However, aging causes telomerase to become less active, causing cells to become senescent. Senescent cells develop characteristic morphological changes, such as a decline in lamin B1, which is an essential factor in DNA replication and repair.

Lapagyl™ advanced botanical ingredient showed in vitro to upregulate key telomerase complex genes and to prevent telomere shortening, while also delaying cellular senescence. When applied on the skin of volunteers, it showed to minimize the appearance of wrinkles, improved skin radiance and moisturization and enhanced skin firmness of the upper eyelid for a youthful and better overall look.
