Cell oxygenation, healthy skin, holistic beauty routine, biotechnology and traditional practices, Luceane™, the new active ingredient from Sederma, meets all cosmetic consumer’s expectations. 

Luceane™ is inspired by the TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) Qi concept relating to the circulation of skin’s vital energy as well as by new contemporary beauty salon oxygen therapy practices. Luceane™ counteracts hypoxiageing™ by stimulating and protecting cell respiration and energy production. It also induces micropollutant removal within the cells, invigorates cellular metabolisms and reinforces skin’s holobiont. It slows down the ageing process by 5 years after just 1 month* of application, resulting in a reduction of skin fatigue signs and skin radiance improvement. 

Luceane™ is a bioactive saccharide extract obtained by biofermentation of a Pseudoalteromonas strain, isolated from a Bahamian candelabra-type octocoral. The Bahamas is known for its cleanest and clearest ocean waters as well as for its minimal air pollution. Luceane™ is of 100 % natural origin and easily biodegradable, with full degradation after 28 days. It is produced via a highly sustainable manufacturing process with complete waste recovery, complies with Chinese regulatory standards and is RSPO certified. 

Key points: 

- Eco-designed active ingredient obtained by biofermentation: 100% natural origin content 

- Combats skin cell pollution and hypoxiageing™ to reduce skin fatigue and improve radiance 

- Holistic beauty and traditional medicine
