Chemyunion has unveiled two biotechnological actives, Peptid4 Light MB and BioTech4 AntiGray, designed to target the biological roots of skin and hair aging, respectively. Part of the "Beyond Time" collection, these ingredients leverage green chemistry and peptide technology to stimulate continuous vitality and authentic beauty.
A Brightener Designed for Sensitive Skin
Peptid4 Light MB is a tetrapeptide designed as a safe alternative to aggressive brightening agents. The active modulates the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) to simultaneously balance melanin production and skin inflammatory processes. This mechanism allows for global tone uniformity by reducing hyperchromias and controlling melanogenesis at the source before pigment formation occurs.
Specifically formulated for sensitive and reactive skin types, it prevents post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation while restoring natural radiance and skin transparency within 28 days of use. Additionally, it stimulates collagen production to enhance skin firmness and smooth fine lines.
Postbiotic Power that Reverses Grays
Moving beyond simple color camouflage, Chemyunion has introduced BioTech4 AntiGray, a breakthrough postbiotic ingredient (Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate) engineered to stimulate natural melanin resumption at the follicular level. This 98.7% natural-origin active targets the biological origin of hair graying rather than masking it with synthetic pigments, aligning with the "clean beauty" and longevity-focused market trends.
BioTech4 AntiGray acts as a signaling agent within the hair bulb to address the progressive decline of melanocyte activity. Its multifaceted approach includes reactivating dormant melanocyte activity to resume natural pigment production.
The technology also contributes to the maintenance of melanocyte stem cells to preserve the hair's pigmentary system, while enhancing antioxidant gene expression to protect melanocyte integrity from environmental and biological aging factors.
The ingredient’s performance is backed by significant scientific evidence:
- Human hair follicle studies showed a 43% increase in melanin content in the hair bulb.
- In a 120-day study of 90 volunteers, a 3% active formulation delivered a 27% increase in hair color uniformity and a noticeable reduction in gray intensity.
- 76.7% of participants reported a visible reduction in gray strands, contributing to a 90% overall satisfaction rate.
Designed for high technological versatility, BioTech4 AntiGray is ideal for advanced hair longevity tonics and treatment shampoos. By addressing the biological mechanisms of pigmentation, it enables brands to offer a new generation of functional care that restores natural color from the root up.
