Science is constantly providing us with new insights into how our cells function. DNA has now been decoded, and we are gaining a better understanding of why things are the way they are. It has been shown that certain molecules influence the lifespan and regenerative capacity of cells. These molecules are known as cell supporting molecules (c.s.m.). They are tiny signaling peptides whose task is to transport information. This system is very important for the regenerative capacity of the organism. With increasing age, their number decreases—and with it the skin's own ability to rejuvenate.
What does epigenetics mean? In the skin alone, one million cells divide every second. A skin cell divides approximately every 28 days. Each time this happens, the quality and performance of the new cell generation are determined. Today, we know that our diet, lifestyle habits, and skin care routine influence the quality of the newly formed cells. This has an enormous impact on the future, long-term functionality of our skin. Epigenetically active peptides, such as cell supporting molecules (c.s.m.), can turn back the biological clock of skin cells.
It has been half a century since these special molecules were discovered by a German scientist. After numerous laboratory tests investigating the effect of certain cell peptides on aging skin cells, such as fibroblasts, Prof. Theurer discovered what are known as signal peptides. Under their influence, the skin cells appeared to “rejuvenate.” An increase in collagen production was measured. In addition, tired, aging cells began to divide again. The immune system of the skin cells also improved, as important substances for defending against bacteria were produced again.
KLEANTHOUS utilizes the effects of cell supporting molecules (c.s.m.) for targeted skin rejuvenation. Due to their biological properties, these peptides can be applied to the skin in serums, creams, or shampoo. There, they independently penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, spread out, and initiate the rejuvenation process. In doing so, they follow their biological mission.
Cell supporting molecules are signal peptides that contain useful information. They initiate a rejuvenation process. The results of the applications are long-lasting and clearly visible.
