Youthful skin thanks to blueberry pterostilbene

Thanks to its expertise in molecular science, and over a decade of research in crystalline engineering, Spanish company Circe Scientific has developed a patented, multifunctional cocrystal that facilitates and maximizes the anti-aging power of beauty products.

Blueberries, "the best anti-aging fruit".

The secret of bilberry's rejuvenating power is pterostilbene. This is a molecule produced by bilberry plants to survive exposure to UV rays, drought, micro-organisms and more. It can also help keep skin more elastic, smoother and younger-looking over the years. However, due to its low solubility, it is not an easy molecule to use in cosmetics. "After years of research, Circe Scientific has succeeded in creating a product, Pteroyouth, which provides a solution to this need detected by the cosmetics industry. Its function is to improve the solubility of pterostilbene to facilitate its administration, by increasing its bioavailability and stability".explains Fernando Barrera, co-founder and CEO of Circe Scientific.

A synergy of two performance-boosting substances 

Pteroyouth is a patented, multifunctional cocrystal that combines pterostilbene with picolinic acid, a molecule naturally present in the human body and derived from tryptophan, which stimulates mineral absorption and the body's immune response. 

  • It helps the skin maintain a healthy structure when exposed to UVA and UVB rays.
  • It promotes an optimal cellular response so that the skin retains its structure when exposed to ionizing radiation.
  • It boosts the body's antioxidant defenses.
  • It increases cellular production of Nrf2 and decreases cellular production of NF-kB, helping the skin to modulate the inflammatory response.
  • It helps the skin modulate pigmentation associated with environmental stress and aging.
  • It boosts the activity of sirtuins, the "longevity enzymes" that regulate cellular activities linked to vitality and aging.

"Thanks to its rapid absorption, Pteroyouth is perfect for both oral and topical use. It is therefore the ideal choice for "Beauty from Within" packs "says Circe Scientific.
