Greentech launches an innovative new natural active ingredient based on the concept of chronobiology and a psychobiological approach. This ingredient helps reduce the impact of fatigue on skin and mood.
Modern lifestyles rhyme with fatigue
"Our new hectic lifestyles are disrupting our natural rhythm, leading to increasing fatigue in almost 45 % of the population, especially women. Circadian rhythms are our internal clock. Out of kilter, they will influence most biological processes, resulting in tired skin and impacting mood, says Greentech. Aware of these important repercussions, Greentech has created Circalys, an innovative active ingredient titrated in andrographolide, a molecule identified by Greentech R&D to counter the disruption of circadian rhythms and revitalize the skin. Inspired by Ayurveda, Circalys was developed from Green Chirette (Andrographis paniculata), a major detoxifying plant in traditional Ayurvedic medicine."
Modulator of circadian rhythms and the brain-skin axis
China and Cosmos approved, 100% of natural origin (ISO 16128), Circalys modulates the skin's biological rhythms, restoring a stimulating "young" clock gene expression profile in aged/fatigued keratinocytes and acting on circadian modulators involved in key cellular pathways. Circalys increases skin cell longevity and reduces cellular damage, revitalizing the skin. Circalys also acts as a modulator of the "brain-skin" axis, boosting the biological pathways of oxytocin, endocannabinoids and endorphins, for relaxed skin protected from the consequences of modern lifestyles.
According to Greentech, Circalys effectively reduces the impact of fatigue on skin and mood.
Clinically tested on night shift workers for 28 days, the company reports that Circalys was shown to significantly reduce visible signs of facial fatigue (puffiness, dark circles and under-eye wrinkles). Volunteers also found their skin more luminous, comfortable and rested.
Thanks to three scientifically-recognized psychological tests, Greentech has also proven that the use of Circalys in a cosmetic formula significantly modulates the impact of fatigue on mood: increased sense of well-being, reduced perceived stress and negative affect ("yoga" effect).
