Technical Details & Test Data

Skin : Ex vivo

Mechanisms of Action

Anti-adhesive action

PROTOCOL

  1. Application of placebo gel and Glycuron Marshmallow 3% gel on 2 different skin explants
  2. Application of carbon powder (0-35 µm diameter) on skin explants.
  3. Skin explant rinsing and drying
  4. D-squame sampling.

Glycuron Marshmallow protects the skin with a botanical protective film by inhibiting the adhesion of particles by up to 18% versus placebo.

Removal Booster Action

PROTOCOL

  1. Application of carbon powder (0-35 µm diameter) on skin explants.
  2. Skin explant rinsing with placebo lotion or Glycuron Marshmallow 3% lotion, and drying.
  3. D-squame sampling.

Glycuron Marshmallow helps to remove pollutants that would have asphyxiated the skin by up to 29% in comparison with the placebo.

Hair : Ex vivo

Evaluation of Hair Protein Carbonylation

PROTOCOL

  1. Blond hair strands were exposed to urban pollution [PM10-like and a UV-A irradiation] and put in a solution containing water or water with Glycuron Marshmallow at 1% or 3%.
  2. Evaluation with Rinse-off and Leave-on conditions on negative control, placebo (stressed and treated with water) and Glycuron Marshmallow treated strands.
  3. Rinse-off condition: 5 post-stress cycles with 3 min of contact then rinsed and dried.  
  4. Leave-on condition: single post-stress application with 30 minutes of contact then dried.
  5. Measurements: protein carbonylation, porosity and roughness.

RINSE-OFF

Glycuron Marshmallow from 1% helps to reduce hair protein carbonylation with a dose-dependent.

Glycuron Marshmallow helps to reduce hair carbonylation, and so reducing fragility, porosity, and roughness of the hair, turning it strong, tight, soft, and shiny.

Evaluation of Hair Porosity

LEAVE-ON

Glycuron Marshmallow from 1% prevents stress-induced hair damage by maintaining low porosity and the structural integrity of the hair.

RINSE-OFF

Glycuron Marshmallow from 1% helps to reduce porosity, participating in maintaining the hair hydrated and shiny.

Evaluation of Hair Roughness

LEAVE-ON

RINSE-OFF

Glycuron Marshmallow at 1% decreases hair roughness in comparison with the placebo, bringing strength with smoothness and shine.
