Kombuchka™
- Improves Skin Radiance
Function
Smoothes and freshens the skin
Definition
Product of the fermentation of sweet black tea by the symbiosis of two microorganisms.
Inhibition of Collagenase
Anti-glycation activity, re-densifying effect on the adipocyte population, improves overall skin quality by enhancing skin smoothness, radiance, and color.
Characteristics
Rich in organic acids and Vitamin Group B.
Kombuchka also called "long life fungus", is well known as a beverage in Russia and China and believed to confer longevity.

In Vitro Tests
Anti-glycation power of Kombuchka™:
Inhibition of glycation with 3% Kombuchka™: 79%
Lipo-filling by adipocyte differentiation:
Culture of fibroblasts in presence of a differentiation cocktail and 3% Kombuchka™. Measurement of G3PDH 9 maker for adipocyte maturation from fibroblasts) activity.
G3PDH activity increase by 136%

In vivo Tests - Decrease of Skin Roughness
A15 women. Twice daily application of a cream containing 3% Kombuchka™. Evaluation in standardized environment at D0, and D29 by 3 trained experts. Quantified analysis of 3 separate parameters thought to characterize a fresh and radiant complexion: Luminosity, clarity and skin color (validated method, Spincontrol).
