Sederma Launches Natural Ingredient Luceane™ to Boost Cell Oxygenation for Healthy Skin

Luceane (INCI: Not Provided) targets cell oxygenation for healthy skin while supporting a holistic beauty routine based on biotechnology and traditional practices — meeting all of cosmetic consumers' expectations, according to Sederma.

Cell oxygenation, healthy skin, holistic beauty routine, biotechnology, and traditional practices, Luceane™, the new active ingredient from Sederma, meets all cosmetic consumer’s expectations.

Luceane™ is inspired by the TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) Qi concept relating to the circulation of skin’s vital energy as well as by new contemporary beauty salon oxygen therapy practices.

Reduces Skin Fatigue and Improves Radiance

Luceane™ counteracts hypoxiageing™ by stimulating and protecting cell respiration and energy production. It also induces micropollutant removal within the cells, invigorates cellular metabolisms, and reinforces the skin’s holobiont. It slows down the aging process by 5 years after just 1 month* of application, resulting in a reduction of skin fatigue signs and skin radiance improvement.

Luceane™ is a bioactive saccharide extract obtained by biofermentation of a Pseudoalteromonas strain, isolated from a Bahamian candelabra-type octocoral. The Bahamas is known for its cleanest and clearest ocean waters as well as for its minimal air pollution. Luceane™ is of 100 % natural origin and easily biodegradable, with full degradation after 28 days. It is produced via a highly sustainable manufacturing process with complete waste recovery, complies with Chinese regulatory standards and is RSPO certified.

Key points:

• Eco-designed active ingredient obtained by biofermentation: 100% natural origin content
• Combats skin cell pollution and hypoxiageing™ to reduce skin fatigue and improve radiance
• Holistic beauty and traditional medicine

* Clinical test performed on 54 volunteers during a 2-month application of a serum containing 3 % Luceane™ against placebo.

The ingredient is a bioactive saccharide extract obtained by the biofermentation of a Pseudoalteromonas strain isolated from a candelabra type of octocoral, i.e., sea fans of tropical reefs, located in the Bahamas. Per Sederma, the Bahamas are known for clean and clear ocean waters as well as for minimal air pollution.

Luceane's activities are inspired by both the Qi concept in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which relates to the circulation of skin’s vital energy, and by contemporary beauty salon oxygen therapy. The ingredient counteracts hypoxi-aging by stimulating and protecting cell respiration and energy production, according to Sederma. In addition, these actions induce micropollutant removal within the cells, invigorating cellular metabolism and reinforcing skin’s holobiont, per the company.
