Willaertia Lysate: A HydroBiome-BioSourced Ingredient with Multi-Site AntiOxidative and AntiAging Properties

Study on Willaertia Lysate: Enhancing Skin Health and Combating Photoaging

This study explores the effectiveness of Willaertia lysate, a protozoan sourced from French Alps thermal spring waters, in promoting skin health and addressing photoaging. Key findings include:

• Cell Migration & ECM Improvement: Willaertia lysate stimulates cell migration and enhances the extracellular matrix (ECM), leading to healthier and more resilient skin.
• Reduction in Tyrosinase Activity & Oxidative Stress: The lysate reduces tyrosinase activity, aiding in skin lightening, and decreases oxidative stress from UV exposure, providing protection against sun damage.
• Gene Expression Impact: The study demonstrated that Willaertia lysate positively influences gene expression related to skin health and aging, supporting skin rejuvenation.
• Antioxidant Activity: The protozoan exhibits antioxidant properties, significantly reducing oxidative stress and helping to prevent photoaging.
• Improved Skin Firmness & Hydration: The lysate boosts skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration, enhancing key epidermal and dermal markers.

The research underscores the potential of  Willaertia lysate for skincare applications, particularly in the development of anti-aging and skin-rejuvenating products, thanks to its ability to protect and improve skin at the cellular and molecular levels.
