In the cosmetics industry, Fucose is known as a moisturizing agent to create a biofilm that protects against dehydration and stimulates cell renewal. At the same time, fucose has an anti-inflammatory effect and is often compared to hyaluronic acid because it has an anti-aging effect and also improves the skin's feel.
The production and extraction of fuctose from brown algae is comparatively complicated and expensive. With the help of biotechnology, processes have been developed that produce fucose from plant substrates (including maize) through bacterial fermentation.
Kolon Life Science, a leading Korean biotechnology company, uses microbiological fermentation to produce FUCOIN - a reformulated form of fucose and fucosylated polysaccharide known for its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties.
We would like to introduce this quality to you again:
FUCOIN
(INCI: Biosaccharide Gum-1)
FUCOIN has a long-lasting moisturizing effect on the skin and not only binds water, but also forms a film of moisture.
FUCOIN is a linear polysaccharide made up of repeating trisaccharide units (L-fucose, D-galactose, galacturonic acid).
Fucose is an important control factor for the immune system, reducing skin irritation and inflammation.
Fucose stimulates the proliferation of fibroblasts, which play a key role in the production of elastic fibers and wound healing.
- Deep skin moisturizing
- Long lasting moisturizing effect
- Prohibiting from losing skin’s elasticity
- High anti-inflammation efficacy
- Anti-Aging / Anti-Wrinkle efficacy
- Cell proliferation and protection efficacy
- Exceptionally good sensory & soothing efficacy
- Odor free
Confirmed by study:
- FUCOIN decreased the expression of hyaluronidase-1 by -22% and increased the expression of hyaluronic acid synthase-2 by 35%.
- FUCOIN decreased the expression of MMP-1 and the elastase activity by -33% and -22%, respectively.
- FUCOIN is effective for cell proliferation and cell protection, which means that FUCOIN promotes cell activity and self-healing.
