Abstract

The invention relates to a product for epidermal protection, characterised in being obtained from the plant known as Fenugreek.

Description

PRODUCT FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE SKIN

The present invention relates to a product for protecting the epidermis. It relates more particularly to a product allowing reinforced protection of the epidermis, which is based on the association of Nano Active Receptors (NAR) derived from Fenugreek

People are listening more and more to their bodies, and increasingly want to delay the effects of time. Also scientists are constantly looking for new products. However, the products currently on the market, although very developed, are not entirely satisfactory.

The present invention provides a new product, intended to be used for nutraceutical and cosmetic applications, which allows enhanced protection of the epidermis.

Its principle consists in making the asset delivery system more targeted, efficient and intelligent, which makes it possible to protect assets against external agents, improve their performance, increase their lifespan or conservation, and defer their actions.

Scientists know the anti-diabetic properties of the plant called "Fenugreek" and, while trying to discover the mechanism of the anti-diabetic activity of this plant, the applicant has noticed that "Fenugreek" presented an exceptional system of delivery of molecules. During this research, it was revealed that this plant had the property of facilitating and guiding the circulation of molecules to act on specific points in the layers of the epidermis and cells. According to the invention, the active ingredient is isolated in a membrane composed of bioactive ingredients which provide the guiding role for the release of the active agents on a given target.

According to a complementary characteristic of the invention, the product uses the same molecular structure as Fenugreek to release its active ingredients. Fenugreek is made up of Nano-Receptive Receptacles that Scientists have isolated. Said product therefore makes it possible to release the active agents on a given target with great precision and increased efficiency, identical to the molecular structure of Fenugreek.

The Fenugreek Isolated Receiver Nanos are incorporated into the lipid membrane, as illustrated in Figure 1, on which we find inside the microcapsule (1), the active (2) and the nano active receptors isolated from Fenugreek (3) in the membrane.

The invention thus used protects the activity of the active ingredients and allows their release on the areas hitherto never reached by conventional active ingredients.

There are thus:

- active phase protection,

- asset isolation,

- controlled release of assets.

The advantages of the product according to the invention are:

- prolonged release,

- release at the right time, in the right place, - inoculation of small quantities, so no toxicity problem,

- an increased lifespan,

- protection against light, oxygen, parasitic reactions,

- a high concentration of active ingredients,

- no ingredient of animal origin, only ingredients of vegetable origin.

According to the invention, the product (liposome) is composed of hollow microspheres formed of lipid bilayers whose membrane is made up of phospholipids and bioactive ingredients: NARs (Nano Active Receptors) from Fenugreek.

As required, the characteristics of the liposomes of the invention can be modified. To reduce the rate of degradation of the product and slow the release of its content, its composition and its size are modified.

To increase the concentration of the active ingredient on the target, the affinity of the product is increased by modifying its composition, its electrical charge or by adding receptors or adhesion factors.

The product of the invention protects the skin from the inside and from the outside (nutraceutical and cosmetic application).

When the skin ages, the vitamin and mineral intake decreases and leads to oxidation. The skin needs external and internal intakes of vitamins, fatty acids and antioxidants. In fact, the invention makes it possible to penetrate the different layers of the epidermis and to repair lesions with precision.

When the product is ingested orally, its nanoparticles circulate through the blood vessels to eventually penetrate the different layers of the epidermis.

Skin lesions are treated and the skin is rejuvenated from the inside and outside.

The product according to the invention finds its application in:

anti-aging food supplement,

- antioxidant beauty food supplement,

- serum to stimulate skin cells and their regeneration.

Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown by way of examples, but it also includes all the technical equivalents and their combinations.
