Science

The term “nutraceuticals” arises from the combination of the words“nutrition” and “pharmaceutical”, and it has been introduced to describe natural dietary ingredients that can protect and improve health. Nutraceuticals have unparalleled chemical diversity and enhanced structural complexity, it is estimated that almost 40% of individual compounds derived from nature cannot be produced in the laboratory, as they are molecules that have co-evolved in complex biological environments, exhibiting unique interactions at a biological level. In this context, nutraceuticals have also attracted the interest of the cosmetic research internation ally that has recently focused in identifying the bioactive compounds that are present in products derived from food sources.

white caviar extract

White caviar and its extract, which is the main ingredient in Le Blanc-Skincare care series, is an innovative nutraceutical ingredient, with the unique property of reversing aging at the cellular level. Our scientific collaborators have proved recently that white caviar extract exerts multiple positive effects on stem cells and their function. The latter indicates that this nutraceutical does not just act on the upper layer of the skin but is actually an excellent ally in the protection and regeneration of the skin.

The white caviar extract:

Provides protection from telomeresshortening, which is responsible for cellular aging.
Has wound healing capabilities.
Enhances autophagy, which eliminates damaged macromolecules in aged cells and significantly promotes the regenerative ability of cells.
Improves the antioxidant defense of cells.
Reduces various indicators of cellular aging (e.g., the number of SA-β-gal positive cells and the levels of aging markers p16 and p53).
Contributes to the differentiation of mesenchymal cells into keratinocytes and fibroblasts.
Mitigates DNA damage caused by UVB radiation.
Protects from premature aging caused exogenously by acute oxidative assaults, such as environmental pollution and poor diet.

Based on scientific evidence, the White Caviar Extract is the most drastic bioactive ingredient, that:

Increases the speed of cell regeneration/renewal by 50%
Reduces oxidative damage to DNA by 60%
Increases the protection from telomeres shortening by 40%
Increases the antioxidant potential of cells by 100%
Increases protection against premature aging induced by oxidative stress by 520%
