Safety & Health
- In Vitro and Clinical Actions
PROTECTION AGAINST: Urban Dust Pollution and Blue Light
- In a 3rd party study conducted on C-Cos™, it was observed that when human keratinocytes were treated with the ingredient, ROS (reactive oxygen species) formation in response to blue light or exposure to urban dust was significantly reduced compared to untreated cells.
- For both blue light and urban dust (pollution), the reduction in ROS was found to be statistically significant.
- These results suggested that C-Cos™ is effective both in reducing ROS (reactive oxygen species) formation and in protecting against environmental aging factors. See product brochure for detailed 3rd party testing results.
GENE EXPRESSION: Collagen, Elastin and AQP-3
In a 3rd party study conducted on C-Cos™, it was observed that the ingredient significantly increased gene expression levels of collagen, elastin and AQP-3 genes in HaCaT cell lines.
TRANSDERMAL DIFFUSION
In a 3rd party university study conducted on C-Cos™ and using lab-cultured epidermal tissue, it was oserved that the ingredient significantly increased the transdermal diffusion of the Vitamin C present in the composition and transport of H+ ions.
NOT IRRITATING
C-Cos™ was 3rd party tested under occlusive dressings in 52 healthy volunteers (HRIPT). The skin reactions were evaluated by a certified dermatologist 48 and 72 hours after the occlusive application. C-Cos™ did not induce a skin primary and cumulative irritation process and did not induce a skin sensitization process in the study group, and was determined to be “Non-irritating”.
