Pleiotanicals® Volpura® EP (R10098) is an Echinacea purpurea extract to address the signs of aging by supporting the skin’s natural plumping processes. Volpura® EP activates adipogenesis (fat production) within the skin to combat the appearance of wrinkles and sagging from deep within the tissue. Volpura® EP restores fuller, youthful-looking skin by activating an adipogenic modulator that increases the number and size of fat-producing cells. Clinical studies demonstrate that Volpura® EP improves skin mechanical properties with volumizing, anti-wrinkle activity reported after use on the face and hands for 12 weeks. Volpura® EP is recommended for anti-wrinkle, anti-aging, firming, plumping, topical contouring, and volumizing products, as well as regimens to address age-related lipoatrophic disorders.

Tellirictin® (R10047) is a proprietary clove flower extract containing natural gallate-based pleiotropic compounds (tellimagrandin I and casuarictin) for multi-functional anti-aging performance. Tellirictin® addresses the many signs of aging by delivering brightening, anti-wrinkle, and moisturizing activities, while also protecting the skin from oxidative, inflammatory, proteolytic, and environmental stresses. Applications of Tellirictin® include anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, and skin-brightening regimens, soothing and calming products for sensitive skin, and pre- and post-sun care.   Tellirictin® prevents excessive melanin production to combat hyperpigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase activity as efficiently as beta-arbutin. Tellirictin® protects collagen and other components of the extracellular matrix (ECM, the structural foundation of the skin) from damaging enzymes (MMPs and elastases) associated with environmental stressors such as environmental pollution and UV (sun) exposure. Tellirictin® modulates microRNAs involved in the beneficial regulation of DNA repair, barrier protection, and anti-inflammatory pathways. 

DermalRx® Acetygen® (R10117) is a botanical active ingredient featuring Agrimonia eupatoria and Ampelopsis grossedentata extract with potent phytochemicals (including dihydromyricetin, myricetin, and other bioactive flavonoids). DermalRx® Acetygen® is a potent senolytic and broad-spectrum epigenetic modulator for applications in skin health and wellness, such as anti-aging products targeting oxidative, environmental, and inflammatory damage. DermalRx® Acetygen® enhances natural skin repair mechanisms to help eliminate dysfunctional senescent cells that contribute to signs of tissue aging. By regulating the histone deacetylase (HAT/HDAC) “switch”, DermalRx® Acetygen® epigenetically restores gene expression to levels found in younger skin for a renewed extracellular matrix (ECM). DermalRx® Acetygen® protects the skin from oxidative stress and inflammatory damage while rejuvenating the tissue for a youthful, healthy appearance. 

DermalRx® FSE (R10111) is a marine bioferment produced from Sargassum vulgare for DNA protection and repair in sun-exposed skin. Rich in bioactive phlorotannins, DermalRx® FSE stimulates the skin’s natural DNA repair process through nucleotide excision repair (NER). Ex vivo studies demonstrate DermalRx® FSE’s DNA protective and reparative effects after UV exposure. DermalRx® FSE also provides strong anti-pollution activity, protecting the skin from damaging oxidation and inflammation. DermalRx® FSE is ideal for anti-aging, de-stressing, soothing and calming, and pre- and post-sun care products.

Pleiotanicals® Volpura® EPO (R10125) is a plant-derived active ingredient extracted from Echinacea purpurea, known for its abundance in various active compounds, notably fatty acid alkylamides. This ingredient demonstrates the ability to activate PPAR-γ, which serves as the master regulator of adipogenesis. Its benefits lie in enhancing fat production by stimulating the differentiation of pre-adipocytes into adipocytes. This property makes it suitable for incorporation into formulations targeting anti-wrinkle effects, particularly for addressing expression lines in the forehead and nasolabial fold areas. Additionally, it finds application in facial contouring, re-firming, and plumping regimens aimed at addressing age-related lipoatrophy.
