HydraSalinol

An extract obtained by subcritical CO2 extraction from Salicornia herbacea, also known as glasswort, which grows in salty, moist coastal soils. This natural bioactive extract is dissolved in caprylic/capric trigliceride, an emollient of natural origin derived from coconut or palm oil. It is approved as COSMOS compliant and an ISO 16128 Natural Origin Ingredient, ensuring environmentally friendly and sustainable production. The plant is rich in minerals, vitamins and antioxidants absorbed from its surroundings, providing the skin with intensive nourishment and hydration directly from the marine environment.

It stimulates the synthesis of the skin's moisturising factors, such as urea, which binds water in the epidermis, increasing hydration by up to 6000 %. It increases the expression of aquaporins AQP3 and AQP8, which facilitate water transport within cells, boosts epidermal lipid synthesis for better skin cohesion and nourishment, and reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL). This restores the hydrolipid barrier, improves cell cohesion and prevents dryness. Recommended concentration: from 0,25 %.

Ideal for dry, dehydrated, sensitive and mature skin with a weakened barrier, tightness or loss of elasticity. It is also recommended for skin exposed to environmental stressors, such as wind or cold, where it helps maintain moisture and freshness. Its gentle formulation makes it suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin, as it does not clog pores and supports healthy skin microflora.

A study demonstrated that Hydrasalinol increases skin hydration by up to 6000 % by stimulating the retention of urea and water in the epidermis after 28 days of application (Codif Technologie Naturelle, HYDRASALINOL data). Further research showed increased expression of aquaporins AQP8 and AQP3, resulting in hydration from 2 hours and up to a 60-fold improvement after 28 days compared with placebo, while inhibiting water and urea loss (Codif, HYDRASALINOL clinical results).
