**SYN®-HYCAN** is a cosmetic ingredient designed to address the visible signs of aging, particularly the loss of skin firmness. It achieves this by enhancing the production of hyaluronan (HA) and increasing the expression of decorin and lumican, crucial components for skin structure.
**Key Features and Mechanisms:**
1. **Boosts Hyaluronan Production:** SYN®-HYCAN stimulates the synthesis of hyaluronan, a vital glucosaminoglycan (GAG) that contributes to the skin's moisture-holding capacity.
2. **Improves Collagen Fibrillogenesis:** The ingredient enhances the expression of decorin and lumican, essential proteoglycans in the dermis. This action leads to the formation of thinner collagen fibrils with increased strength and quality.
3. **Visible Remodeling Effect:** By promoting the synthesis of fresh hyaluronan and reinforcing collagen fibrils, SYN®-HYCAN contributes to a visible remodeling effect on the skin, promoting a firmer appearance.
4. **Needle-Free Face Contour Remodeling:** SYN®-HYCAN facilitates face contour remodeling without the need for needles, providing a non-invasive option for improving skin firmness.
5. **Preservative and PEG-Free:** SYN®-HYCAN is formulated as a glycerin-based aqueous solution, and it is both preservative-free and free of polyethylene glycols (PEGs).
**Applications:**
SYN®-HYCAN is suitable for use in various cosmetic formulations aimed at addressing skin sagging, improving firmness, and promoting a more youthful appearance.
**Composition:** Glycerin-based aqueous solution
