ByKleo - Ultra-hydrating serum rich in marine proteins (jellyfish mucin) 50 ml

Why the jellyfish?

• Since ancient times, jellyfish have been valued (and consumed) in Asia for their medicinal properties in treating: hypertension, ulcers, digestive diseases, fatigue, weight loss, and skin conditions; jellyfish have beneficial properties similar to cartilage for strengthening bones and teeth, and are antithrombotic and antineoplastic.
• It is also used to improve memory, as well as to combat age-related language problems, etc.
• In addition, this serum produces bioactive substances with bactericidal activity.
• Jellyfish have the unique ability to retain water and control humidity levels.
• The body of jellyfish consists of a transparent hemispherical umbrella extended by long tentacles loaded with stinging cells.
• It is a marine species that survives despite high levels of pollution in its environment, attacks from other species, and even its own marine environment (salt water).

Use in Cosmetics

Mucin (a highly glycosylated protein produced by the epithelial cells of metazoans) is a protein responsible for maintaining hydration levels and provides lubricating and anti-adhesive properties between cells. Numerous studies since 1900 have demonstrated its properties.

1. Protection: Jellyfish mucin has been isolated and is highly similar to human mucin. It is one of the main contributors to the rheological properties (viscosity) of mucus, which plays a fundamental role in defense against pathogens and environmental stress.
2. Hydrates: Jellyfish mucin has three times the hydrating and hygroscopic (moisture-attracting) activity of hyaluronic acid. ByKleo Jellyfish Cream and Jellyfish Serum incorporate the jellyfish's own bioactive compounds into their formula to provide hydration, reduce cell damage, and improve keratinocyte adhesion, resulting in greater protection and hydration for the skin.

ByKleo Jellyfish Cream and Jellyfish Serum incorporate the plant's own bioactives to repair the epidermal barrier caused by our skin's contact with polluting substances.
