Innosya Cosmetic Ingredients, Lesaffre’s new cosmetic activity, officially reveals a range of patented active ingredients made by fermentation.

Leveraging Lesaffre’s 170 years of expertise in fermentation and microorganisms, Innosya’s ingredients offer unique benefits to the cosmetic industry.

As consumers increasingly demand personalized and more sustainable cosmetics, Innosya’s team has developed a portfolio composed of an exclusive range of clinically-proven, fermented skin care actives supporting pro-aging through all ages.

Skinosya Chondro is the first fermented chondroitin sulfate to replace traditional animal-derived solutions. Chondroitin sulfate, naturally occurring in skin, is part of the glycosaminoglycan family like hyaluronic acid.

The innovation is a vegan pro-aging ingredient made by fermentation. Thanks to its high content of sulfated groups, this high-performance sodium chondroitin sulfate active is clinically proven to strengthen the skin barrier and stimulate collagen and elastin production, amongst other beauty benefits. This patented ingredient opens new perspectives for anti-aging, moisturizing, makeup, men’s care and body care formulations.

Skinosya SAG is a highly stable and bioavailable form of glutathione, a vital antioxidant that declines significantly during the hormonal changes of menopause. As estrogen levels drop, free iron accumulates in skin cells while glutathione (GSH) levels decrease significantly, leading to membrane lipid peroxidation and eventually ferroptosis, which accelerates visible signs of aging.

This new ingredient is designed to restore intracellular GSH levels, prevent lipid peroxidation and protein carbonylation responsible for cell death and to maintain mitochondrial health, amongst other benefits. It is recommended for use in menopausal skincare, well-aging, moisturizing, illuminating and makeup formulas.
