Seppic unveils the anti-aging benefits of its nutraceutical active SEPITONE™, in a new clinical study

Younger consumers are increasingly looking for preventative solutions to maintain the quality of their skin as part of a more holistic approach to skincare. An even and luminous complexion is often seen as a sign of healthy and beautiful skin.¹

To meet these needs, Seppic has launched a new clinical study on its nutricosmetic active SEPITONE™, a fermented wild bilberry extract. These berries are well known for their high polyphenol content and strong antioxidant power. While SEPITONE™’s action on complexion evenness had already been proven in a first clinical study, these new data highlight new anti-aging benefits as well as new results on skin complexion.

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted on a panel of women aged 35 to 65 with visible signs of skin aging and uneven skin tone. The first effects were observed after just 1 month's use (100mg/d). In less than 3 months, the results showed significant effects on key parameters linked to complexion and anti-aging:

• wrinkle depth decreased by 14% vs. placebo
• skin firmness and elasticity increased by 13% vs. placebo
• the skin's antioxidant capacity increased by 19% vs. placebo
• the homogeneity of the complexion has been improved thanks to a reduction of hyperpigmentation and an increase in the luminosity of the skin (effects related to the improvement of the antioxidant capacity of the skin)

At the end of the clinical study, the self-assessment questionnaire showed that 91% of participants experienced an improvement in skin firmness, and 97% reported a more even complexion after consuming SEPITONE™. ²

This new clinical study demonstrates SEPITONE™'s dual action on both visible signs of skin aging and the quality of the complexion.

SEPITONE™, thanks to its powder form and low dose, can be used in different galenic forms such as capsules, tablets and sticks. This active ingredient of natural origin is guaranteed non-GMO, halal certified and is compatible with kosher and vegan products.
