Science
- Long-lasting beauty and healthy skin are substantial clues of the quality of life for most people. Especially, people with dermatological problems often feel uncomfortable in their own skin and are concerned not only by the wrinkles formation but also by the apparition of redness, infections and acne lesions.
- Natural human skin, as well as oral tissues, is colonized by large numbers of microorganisms, most of which live harmlessly as commensals without causing clinical disease although the skin is constantly challenged by pathogens. However, infection of normal healthy skin rarely occurs, due to human skin produces &-defensins, small peptides with antimicrobial properties that contribute to the resistance of the skin to invasion by microorganisms, providing a rapid, first-line chemical barrier to fight against microbial growth. These peptides provide protection from widespread bacterial invasion and promote wound healing.
- bodyfensine® peptide, which has been designed through a combinatorial chemistry approach, stimulates human-f-defensin -2 and -3, enhancing the skin’s natural defense system, therefore maintaining the balance between commensal microbes and pathogens in the skin.
