CycloRetin™ and Corneopeptyl™: Combining the best of nature and science

In the cosmetic industry, peptides are renowned for their ability to maintain healthy, youthful skin and are praised by consumers. As consumers become increasingly aware of the ingredients in their skincare products, there is a growing demand for more natural and sustainable options. This has led to a significant shift toward naturally-derived peptides and peptides obtained by green chemistry-based synthesis that offer a more eco-friendly footprint. Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant is at the forefront of this movement, offering a range of active ingredients based on peptides that meet these market demands for natural origin, greener chemical synthesis and effectiveness.

One standout product in this range is CycloRetin™, derived from Pseudostellaria heterophylla, an adaptogenic plant whose roots naturally contain the cyclic peptide heterophyllin B. CycloRetin™ rivals the wrinkle-fighting effects of retinol without the associated irritation. By activating the retinoid pathway, CycloRetin™ stimulates genes responsible for skin homeostasis and extracellular matrix composition, achieving faster results in wrinkle reduction than retinol. In just one month, CycloRetin™ enhances skin firmness and reduces sagging by optimizing skin’s ability to utilize intracellular retinol, delivering powerful rejuvenating effects without the common side effects of retinol.

Another innovation in peptide technology is Corneopeptyl™, obtained by green biochemistry-based synthesis. Biomimetic to LCE6A, a newly discovered protein, Corneopeptyl™ is designed to reinforce the corneocyte envelope. It effectively rebuilds the skin barrier within seven days to significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in just 14 days and to improve skin tonicity, smoothness and hydration in 28 days, creating a rejuvenating effect that can make skin look up to four years younger, as demonstrated by AI analysis.

CycloRetin™ and Corneopeptyl™ combine the best of nature and science, offering powerful anti-aging benefits while being gentle on the skin. Discover the potential of these groundbreaking peptides to revolutionize your skincare routine.
