Solvay, Deinove to commercialize phytoene for skin care
Solvay SA has finalized an exclusive agreement with French biotech producer Deinove SA to commercialize ReGeN-oPhyt. ReGeN-oPhyt is a novel, natural active ingredient for skin-care products in North America and Asia.
ReGeN-oPhyt is derived from phytoene, a colourless carotenoid used as a cutting-edge skin-care active to deliver antioxidant/anti-aging properties. ReGeN-oPhyt was developed using a state-of-the-art biotechnology platform based on the fermentation of natural sugars by extremophilic Deinococcus bacterium.
Carotenoids are naturally occurring substances that fight oxidative stress in skin cells. Until now, nutrition was the only recognized logical source of phytoene for consumers.
