The mTOR pathway [1] is essential in regulating the skin’s vital functions such as growth and autophagy, but especially protein synthesis. Solabia now presents Celtonyl®, a new biotechnological active that is obtained from taro leaves and acts as an energy booster. Taro plants are rich in nutrients and produce energy that can easily be used by skin cells.
In vitro tests have shown the product stimulates the mTOR pathway by +157%, and the corneodesmosin expression by +115%, thus reinforcing the epidermis architecture.
In vivo tests have evidenced the skin gradually lightens after each application, which means both epidermal renewal and moisturizing are enhanced. “Celtonyl® is the kick start cocktail skin cells need to get back to life”, according to Solabia.
