Croda Beauty Actives introduces Zenakine (INCI: Not Provided), a biotech-based cosmetic active ingredient designed to bridge the connection between skin quality and overall well-being. Developed through extensive research of the skin-brain communication, Zenakine reportedly supports skin resilience against physical and emotional stress, enhances sleep quality and promotes a rested, youthful appearance.
Clinically Proven Boost in Emotion and Skin Health
Per the company, Zenakine has been designed not only to improve physical signs of skin fatigue and premature aging, but also to stimulate the release of feel-good messengers in the skin — namely alleviating cortisol stress damage while modulating skin circadian genes to promote optimal skin physiology. This dual-action supports emotional balance and well-being.
Clinical studies confirmed:
- An enhanced feeling of happiness in users, showing a 13.5% increase after one month versus placebo
- Improved sleep quality, with an 11.3% improvement in just two weeks
- A reduction in visible signs of skin fatigue, evidenced by a lifting effect with a 13.3% increase after one month versus placebo
Comprehensive Benefits for Consumers
Zenakine’s wide-ranging benefits have been quantified through comprehensive trials, demonstrating measurable improvements for both mind and body. According to Croda Beauy Actives, key advantages include:
- Improved skin resilience to physical and emotional stressors
- Smoother skin with reduced lines and signs of tiredness
- Enhanced emotional balance and sleep quality, promoting a more rested appearance
- A sustainability-first approach. Zenakine is crafted through biotechnology, with 100% natural-origin content (ISO 16128). It is readily biodegradable and adheres to RSPO and COSMOS standards
Zenakine Benefits for Formulators
For formulators focused on innovation, Zenakine takes a major step by marrying science with emotion for skin health benefits. The ingredient offers a clinically backed, multifunctional solution for addressing skin quality while promoting well-being. It also provides a new avenue for sustainable, clean, effective cosmetic formulations. Backed by robust data and designed with sustainability in mind, it is poised to offer a competitive edge to cosmetic formulators.
