EISENIA BICYCLIS EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data / SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN PROTECTING

Eisenia Bicyclis Extract, derived from brown algae, is a marine-sourced ingredient demonstrating robust photoprotective, anti-aging, and hydrating properties. It actively mitigates UVB-induced skin damage and supports the integrity of the skin's barrier.

Summary

Antioxidant Photoprotective Anti-aging Collagen Booster Hydrating Skin Barrier Support Anti-inflammatory Skin Brightening

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates through multiple pathways to protect and rejuvenate skin. It regulates matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) to reduce collagen degradation and upregulates pro-collagen type I production via MAPK/AP-1 and Smad pathways. Antioxidant defenses are enhanced by decreasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and boosting enzymes like GPx1 and HO-1 through Nrf2 activation. Furthermore, it improves skin barrier function and moisturization by increasing the expression of filaggrin, involucrin, and loricrin in epidermal keratinocytes, while also offering anti-inflammatory benefits and a potential skin brightening effect from fucofuroeckol-A.
