HydraGen allows you to evaluate the moisturizing potential of your active ingredient using various innovative and robust techniques.
The superficial layer of epidermis, the stratum corneum (SC), protects human body from external stress including dehydration.
Many mechanisms involved in epidermal barrier maintaining, contribute to the state of hydration balance: natural moisturizing factors (NMF), glycerol produced by aquaporin and the specific organization of the SC with corneocytes, the stratum corneum and the lipids are crucial in the hydration balance.
The development of more effective moisturizing active ingredients is crucial to fit with consumers’ needs.
