Deinove launches Phyt-N-Resist, the first pure Phytoene dedicated to cosmetic care

Deinove (Euronext Growth Paris: ALDEI), a biotechnology company that discovers, develops and produces high value-added compounds from rare bacteria, in particular from the Deinococcus genus, announces the official launch of its innovative carotenoid as a cosmetic active ingredient.
Phytoene is a colorless carotenoid obtained by fermentation of natural sugars by the extremophilic bacterium Deinococcus geothermalis.

Created by Deinove and composed of phytoene concentrated in refined jojoba oil, Phyt - N - Resist helps fight skin aging by reducing oxidative stress and accelerating skin regeneration.
Its efficacy and safety have been successfully demonstrated in in vitro, ex vivo and clinical studies.
Various dermo-cosmetic formulations have been developed, demonstrating ease of formulation and satisfactory stability. Thanks to the high-temperature stability of this active ingredient, it could also be incorporated into make-up formulas.

A breakthrough innovation in active ingredients of natural origin:

Nature is an extraordinary laboratory, capable of designing high value-added molecules. Both skin cells and plants depend on a common substance to protect them from oxidative stress: Phytoene, the original precursor of all carotenoids. However, unlike plants, the skin is unable to synthesize it. Phytoene is therefore one of those essential molecules that must be supplied through the diet or other supplements.
Until now, there has been no way of extracting pure Phytoene, as none of the existing plant-based production processes can produce it. These processes only produce a mixture of less concentrated carotenoids with varying degrees of stability and coloration.
By harnessing the extraordinary resources of biomimicry and symbiosis, and taking full advantage of the potential of Deinococcus geothermalis, an extremophilic UV-resistant bacterium, Deinove has generated the bioproduction of pure Phytoene for the very first time.

Phyt-N-Resist: extensive anti-aging properties

Carotenoids are known for their anti-oxidant properties. Phyt-N-Resist has successfully demonstrated its ability to reduce the proportion of lipoperoxidation products appearing after cell exposure to UV radiation. Phytoene accumulates in cell membranes to prevent cellular degradation. By protecting lipid membranes from free radicals and peroxidation, Phyt-N-Resist helps to reduce the harmful consequences of oxidation and, ultimately, slow down skin ageing.
Deinove has taken this breakthrough approach a step further, by deploying a systematic, multi-dimensional screening process for its active ingredients. This comprehensive, innovative approach has enabled us to highlight a hitherto unexploited feature of the carotenoid family: stimulation of cell renewal. Skin cells are able to regenerate under the action of Phytoene.

These properties were subsequently confirmed by an in-depth clinical study, which proved conclusive in demonstrating the beneficial effect of Phtyoene on skin firmness and elasticity, as well as on radiance. What's more, Phyt - N - Resist has a marked anti-wrinkle action.
These properties make Phyt-N-Resist a complete anti-ageing active ingredient.

Emmanuel Petiot, CEO of Deinove, comments: "We are delighted to present Phyt-N-Resist, our first innovative carotenoid for cosmetic use. Our teams have done a remarkable job in bringing this project to fruition and launching our first commercial product on time. The contacts made so far with cosmetics players have proved conclusive, and we look forward to presenting it to the entire cosmetics industry in Amsterdam."

Greentech restores the balance of healthy skin to problematic skin

Greentech's latest innovations focus on skin protection with a 360° approach: photo-protection with Soliberine, pollution protection with Urbalys, and microflora protection with Biotilys.
Today, Greentech takes care of problem skin, a major preoccupation for young people as well as adults, since the hormonal environment, pollution, stress and nutritional factors are all aggravating factors in the appearance of acne.
Acnilys, launched at In Cosmetics in April, is a multifunctional active ingredient of plant origin (Rhodomyrtus tomentosa berry), which acts on this physiopathology by intervening on all the pathways involved to prevent skin disorders and imperfections in oily skin.

A triple action restores their balance while playing:

- Prevention of hyperseborrhea: Acnilys regulates sebum production and inhibits 5-α-reductase activity.
- Limiting microbial proliferation :
Acnilys reduces P. acnes proliferation and its deleterious effects.
- Modulation of inflammation: Acnilys reduces the production of lipid mediators of inflammation induced by oxidized squalene.

The result? skin that's better moisturized, more radiant, finer-textured, even-toned without redness or blemishes, with a fresh, healthy look.

As part of the partnership between Cosmetic Valley and Innovation Chimie Carnot/ I2C, an interactive workshop was held on Thursday, March 22, 2018 at Le Havre Normandie University on the theme of "Innovating in cosmetics with safety in mind". This scientific workshop is part of Cosmetic Valley's strategy of working in close partnership with the academic and industrial fabric around issues of Safety, Normandy's Domain of Territorial Strategic Excellence.

Lectures and presentations provided an insight into a wide range of subjects, including the mapping and reduction of preservatives in formulas, the analysis of plant extracts, outstanding research facilities, and product and consumer safety. Companies in the cosmetics industry were able to exchange views with I2C Carnot researchers and take part in a tour of URCOM laboratories and interactive technical workshops. The aim of the day, which brought together some fifty participants, was to transform these contacts into joint development projects between companies and research.

Innovation Chimie Carnot / I2C in brief

I2C brings together 8 research entities in Normandy, France's 2nd largest chemical industry region. Pooling equipment and a high level of recognized expertise in organic, polymer, analytical and formulation chemistry, I2C supports innovation in the finished chemicals sector, particularly in cosmetics. The institute's researchers work in the fields of raw materials, product development and characterization, formulation, galenics, product-environment interactions and quality control. Cosmetic Valley is a member of the I2C Carnot Strategic Organization Committee, whose role is to build a shared vision, propose strategic directions and improve the match between supply and demand.

A major player in I2C , the URCOM laboratory (Research Unit in Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry) is made up of 12 teacher-researchers. The unit is involved in fundamental and applied research projects, supported by the Cosmetic Valley cluster, with numerous industrial partnerships (Johnson & Johnson, Endupack, Air Liquide, etc.) in various forms (CIFRE, FUI, collaborative contracts). URCOM's researchers can therefore be mobilized in a variety of areas: formulation and sensory analysis, prediction of sensory properties using instrumental measurements, the study of skin surface properties, etc.
