Confirming its expertise in developing cosmetic active ingredients, Seppic enlarges its offer for sensitive skin with a natural solution that provides immediate comfort: GANOCALM™. 

With half of the world's population claiming to have sensitive or very sensitive skin, Seppic was inspired by nature to create GANOCALM™, an active ingredient acting on the symptoms of sensitive skin. It provides instant comfort by significantly decreasing dryness, stinging and redness sensations. 1 

GANOCALM™ is a botanical extract of Reishi, Ganoderma lucidum, an adaptogen mushroom traditionally used in Asia for its medicinal properties. Native from the mountains of China, Reishi absorbs earth energy and acquires its properties. Known in traditional Chinese medicine, its richness in triterpenes gives Reishi multiple benefits. 

GANOCALM™, at 1%, acts immediately through a triple action: 

● Modulates the activation of sensory receptors (in vitro), and reducing stinging by 15.6 times vs. placebo** after 5 minutes of application (in vivo). 

● Limits local inflammation (in vitro), and reducing redness by 2.5 times vs. placebo** within the first hour of application (in vivo). 

● Strengthens the skin barrier (in vitro) and increases skin hydration by 1.3 times vs. placebo** after 1 hour (in vivo). 

GANOCALM™ is COSMOS certified and NaTrue approved with 100% naturalness according to the ISO 16128 norm. It is also Halal certified and compliant with Chinese regulations (IECSC and IECIC). 

Céline HANANI, Product Manager Beauty Care at Seppic, said: "We are delighted to present Ganocalm™, a soothing natural ingredient inspired by traditional Chinese medicine. Thanks to its triple action, it meets the needs of consumers looking for a natural and effective solution to bring immediate soothing benefits.”
