Givaudan Active Beauty unveils Evernityl™, the pioneering active ingredient for timeless beauty

Givaudan Active Beauty reveals Evernityl™, a marine active ingredient sourced from the depths of Brittany’s ocean. Derived from the macroalgae Laminaria hyperborea, Evernityl™ is produced through an innovative upcycling process, transforming fresh algae into a high-precision beauty ingredient combatting skin ageing and promoting youthful skin.

At IFSCC 2024, Givaudan Active Beauty revealed a breakthrough scientific discovery: Porphyr’ageing™. 

This concept refers to the newly discovered biological mechanism behind skin ageing, wherein porphyrins – metabolites produced by the skin’s microbiota – play a key role in the skin ageing process. 

These prevalent molecules significantly influence several biological mechanisms linked to skin ageing, in addition to other well-known mechanisms.

Evernityl™ is identified as the most effective ingredient to address Porphyr’ageing™, decelerating ageing and correcting both invisible and visible signs of time, which involves:
 

• Inhibiting the production of porphyrins and enhancing their clearance via autophagy, preventing further damages to the skin.
• Blocking porphyrin-induced melanogenesis, while reducing the formation of spots precursors and visible spots to promote a more even skin tone.
• Stimulating the synthesis of the extracellular matrix (ECM) constituents, enhancing the skin’s elasticity and firmness to prevent the formation of wrinkles.

“Our exploration of the skin microbiome has reached yet another milestone with the discovery of Porphyr’ageing™. Universal and inclusive, Evernityl™ works on multiple levels to address existing signs of ageing while proactively preventing future skin damage, making it a comprehensive solution for healthier and more youthful-looking skin.”

Romain Reynaud, Research & Development Director

The concept of beauty is evolving. Today, each stage of life is celebrated and ageing is approached proactively, with a focus on prevention. Skin health is now a cornerstone of beauty, and consumers are looking for brands that align with their pursuit of longevity.
