Cosmetics

Skin is the largest organ in the immune system. Biothera ingredients have patented topical applications for skin protection and healing. Published research indicates that Biothera ingredients interact with effector cells of the innate immune system to offer protection against infections that may result from skin damage. Preclinical studies have shown that Biothera ingredients can also stimulate a more rapid rate of healing in burn or incision injury models. In addition, some studies indicate that our compounds in topical form offer protection from UV irradiation damage.

 

Although more research is required, potential cosmetic applications for Biothera ingredients include sun screen, first aid and anti-aging lotions and creams that:

  • Reduce damage from UV irradiation.
  • Stimulate more rapid healing of damaged skin. Studies show that beta glucan promotes collagen synthesis, which results in faster recovery from sunburns.
  • Protect against infection by accessing the cells of the innate immune system through damaged skin. Sunburn depletes the skin of Langerhans cells that prevent foreign challenges from entering the body. Beta glucan stimulates macrophages and neutrophils to enhance the body’s defenses.
