BACKGROUND

"When you look good, you feel good.” The thought shared by all cosmetic and personal care consumers is: The products we use, make us feel good. These feelings that accompany the use of cosmetics push neuro-cosmetics to the forefront of modern skin care. Serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to promote feelings of happiness, can be capitalized on and marketed as such, to seamlessly enhance products specifically designed as neuro-cosmetics. The naturally occurring amino acid, 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), is the chemical precursor in the biosynthesis of serotonin. When used, 5-HTP transforms personal care formulas into true neuro-cosmetics, capable of making consumers feel and look good. FSS Griffonia Lysate Advanced takes advantage of the 5-HTP content in griffonia seeds, providing formulators with a neuro-cosmetic material that delivers immediately perceivable results and long-term benefits for anti-aging skin care.

SCIENCE

Griffonia, a shrub native to parts of Africa, has developed a unique defense mechanism to protect itself from extreme sun exposure. The seeds of the plant contain 5-HTP, which, as previously mentioned, is the chemical precursor of the neurotransmitter, serotonin. In addition to being a "feel good” chemical, this neurotransmitter has demonstrated its ability to protect human melanocytes from UV-induced apoptosis. By inhibiting UV induced damage, we can help ameliorate anticipated skin damage caused by over exposure. We can naturally and gently isolate the 5-HTP from the plant for use in cosmetics. Since the plant is constantly under intense UV exposure it needed to evolve a means to protect itself from UV damage and research has shown that 5-HTP content in the plant is integral to its survival. In the plant 5-HTP inhibits UV-induced apoptosis or programmed cell death.

BENEFITS

The combination of components that make up FSS Griffonia Lysate Advanced result in a long-term anti-aging product which also imparts a tangible and supple film on the skin. This film not only protects against environmental damage, but also immediately tightens and lifts the skin, revealing a firm, younger-looking complexion.
