Sederma (France), a globally recognized leader in cosmeceutical ingredient innovation and research, offers us Renovage™. This proprietary formulation of Teprenone (Geranylgeranone-GGA) in a lipophilic solvent (Caprylic/Capric-Triglyceride) is trademarked, Renovage™, and can be found in anti-aging skincare products worldwide.
Teprenone
Geranylgeranone (GGA)-Teprenone, is produced through a biologic, multi-step process, by fermenting a microorganism (bacteria or fungi) capable of producing Geranylgeranyl. Renovage™ is a formulation of Caprylic/Capric -Triglyceride and Teprenone.
It has been found that Teprenone may increase the skin cell’s life span by its involvement with telomere maintenance, DNA replication and repair. In simple terms it may aid in slowing down cell degeneration, which may have anti-ageing benefits when used in skincare.
In some Asian countries, Teprenone is being used for treating gastritis and to aid in the treatment of NSAID-induced ulcers and small intestinal injuries. It is sold under the prescription name Selbex. This treatment is not available in the US, or most other countries, as research is still being done to test its efficacy and safety.
Renovage™ - Teprenone testing (in vivo) has shown to have the following benefits on the skin:- Increases hydration of skin due to the reinforcement of the skin barrier from water loss
- Improvement in depth of lines and wrinkles
- Improvement of pigmented spots
- Antioxidant properties
- Reduction in appearance of pore size
- Improves the appearance in firmness, elasticity, and tone of the skin
- Anti-inflammatory properties
These benefits make it a desirable ingredient to add to anti-aging cosmeceutical skincare formulations.
The Renovage™ ingredient component should be synergistically formulated with other quality ingredients to produce “inspiring” results in skin regeneration. Look for it in creams, serums, balms, masks, BB and CC creams, foundations etc. It will be listed, in an ingredient listing, as Caprylic/Capric-Triglyceride and Teprenone or Renovage™.
