SAGACIOUS™: The Biomimetic Anti-Aging Powerhouse for Ageless Skin

Introducing SAGACIOUS™, a groundbreaking active cosmetic ingredient developed by Seppic, designed to revolutionize the fight against skin aging. Inspired by the remarkable resilience of plants in microgravity, this innovative ingredient harnesses nature's wisdom to restore youthful vitality to your skin. Sourced sustainably from the brown seaweed Himanthalia elongata in France, and extracted using the patented “Coeur d’algue” technology, SAGACIOUS™ offers clinically proven efficacy for visibly firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

Description and Key Features

SAGACIOUS™ is a cutting-edge biomimetic active ingredient, drawing inspiration from how plants synthesize unique glycolipid molecules to maintain their structural integrity even in challenging environments. This principle is expertly applied to skin aging, targeting the fundamental mechanisms that lead to loss of firmness and elasticity.

Key features of SAGACIOUS™ include:

• Biomimetic Approach: Emulates nature's own solutions for structural integrity.
• Sustainable Sourcing: Derived from Himanthalia elongata brown seaweed, harvested in France with strict adherence to biodiversity preservation principles.
• Patented Extraction: Utilizes Seppic's exclusive “Coeur d’algue” technology for optimal active compound extraction.
• Eco-Conscious Profile:
  • Compliant with Chinese standards.
  • COSMOS and Natrue certified.
  • Achieves 100% naturality according to ISO 16128 standard.
  • Developed with strong ecological principles at its core.

Clinically Proven Efficacy and Multi-Level Mechanism

The effectiveness of SAGACIOUS™ is not just theoretical; it's backed by impressive clinical data, demonstrating a remarkable impact on key signs of aging:

• 8x Increase in Skin Firmness: Clinically proven to enhance skin firmness by up to 8 times compared to a placebo, delivering tangible anti-sagging benefits.
• Reduced Nasolabial Fold Visibility: Significantly diminishes the appearance of nasolabial folds, contributing to a smoother, more youthful facial contour.
• Fibroblast Restoration: Restores the mechanical properties of fibroblasts to the level of cells 28 years younger, indicating a profound regenerative effect at the cellular level.
• Visible Results in 1 Month: Noticeable improvements in facial skin sagging are observed after just one month of consistent use.

SAGACIOUS™ operates on three crucial levels within the skin to deliver its comprehensive anti-aging benefits:

1. Dermo-Epidermal Junction (DEJ) Level: Improves the cohesion and communication between the epidermis (outer layer) and the dermis (inner layer), strengthening the skin's foundation.
2. Dermal Level: Enhances the biomechanical and tensile properties of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin, leading to improved skin elasticity and resilience.
3. Dermo-Hypodermal Junction Level: Strengthens the connection between the dermis and hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue), supporting the skin's underlying structure and combating sagging.

Versatile Applications and Usage Areas in Anti-Aging Skincare

The multi-level action and proven efficacy of SAGACIOUS™ make it an indispensable active ingredient for a wide range of premium anti-aging skincare formulations:

• Targeted Anti-Aging Serums:
  • Ideal for highly concentrated facial serums designed to combat loss of firmness, improve elasticity, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
  • Formulate specialized neck and décolletage serums to address sagging in these delicate areas.
• Firming and Lifting Creams:
  • Incorporate into day and night creams to provide continuous anti-aging benefits, helping to visibly lift and firm the skin.
  • Create luxurious body creams aimed at improving skin tonicity and elasticity on areas prone to sagging, such as the abdomen, arms, and thighs.
• Contouring and Sculpting Treatments:
  • Develop advanced facial contouring products that aim to redefine the jawline and cheekbones by improving skin firmness and elasticity.
  • Formulate specialized treatments for the eye area to reduce the appearance of sagging eyelids and under-eye bags.
• Anti-Wrinkle Solutions:
  • Enhance anti-wrinkle creams and lotions, particularly those targeting deep-set wrinkles like nasolabial folds, by improving skin's mechanical properties.
• Youth-Boosting Masks:
  • Incorporate into leave-on or rinse-off masks to provide an intensive treatment that immediately boosts skin firmness and radiance.
• Preventative Aging Skincare:
  • Even for younger skin, SAGACIOUS™ can be included in preventative anti-aging formulations to maintain skin's youthful integrity and delay the onset of visible signs of aging.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Ageless Radiance" Firming Facial Serum

Create a powerful, lightweight, and effective facial serum designed to firm, lift, and rejuvenate mature skin, featuring SAGACIOUS™.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, serum bottles) using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Hydrate Hyaluronate: In a small, separate container, combine Sodium Hyaluronate powder with about 10-15ml of distilled water from Phase A. Stir well and let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or ideally a few hours/overnight in the fridge) until a clear gel forms.
3. Combine Phase A: In your main beaker, combine the remaining distilled water, glycerin, and propanediol. Stir gently until well mixed.
4. Incorporate Actives (Phase B): Add the hydrated Sodium Hyaluronate gel to the main water phase. Then, add SAGACIOUS™ and Niacinamide. Stir thoroughly for several minutes until all ingredients are uniformly dispersed and dissolved.
5. Add Preservative (Phase C): Add your chosen broad-spectrum preservative to the serum mixture. Stir well for at least 2-3 minutes to ensure even distribution.
6. pH Adjustment: Check the pH of your serum using a pH meter or strips. For facial serums, an ideal pH range is typically between 5.0 and 5.5. If needed, add a diluted solution of Lactic Acid drop by drop, stirring well after each addition, until the desired pH is reached.
7. Final Transfer: Carefully pour the finished serum into a clean, sterile dark glass bottle with a dropper or pump dispenser.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Optimal Dosing: The recommended inclusion rate for SAGACIOUS™ is typically within the range provided by Seppic. Our recipe uses 2%, which is effective for a facial serum. Always refer to the manufacturer's specific guidelines for the most accurate and safe usage percentages.
• Application: Apply 2-3 drops of the serum to a clean face and neck every morning and evening. Gently massage into the skin using upward strokes until fully absorbed. Follow with your preferred moisturizer.
• Consistency is Key: For optimal results, consistent daily use is crucial. Visible improvements in skin firmness and reduced sagging are clinically observed after just one month.
• Storage: Store the finished serum in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain the integrity of the active ingredients and extend the product's shelf life. A dark glass bottle helps protect light-sensitive ingredients.
• Compatibility: SAGACIOUS™ is designed for water-based formulations and is generally compatible with a wide range of common cosmetic ingredients.
• Stability: Ensure your formulation has an effective broad-spectrum preservative system and an appropriate pH to maintain stability and prevent microbial growth.
• Texture: This serum should have a light, easily absorbed texture due to the water base and humectants. The addition of SAGACIOUS™ will not significantly alter the texture.
