Patents & Research
Explore the patent portfolio and scientific background supporting Dermalastyl® and Elastatropin® technology.
Research Overview
Dermalastyl® was developed around Elastatropin® technology, which contains tropoelastin, the natural precursor to human elastin.
Research supporting Dermalastyl® has focused on the role of tropoelastin in skin elasticity, topical penetration into the epidermis, and the ability of Elastatropin® to support smoother, more resilient-looking skin.
Key Research Findings
-
24-Hour Penetration
Elastatropin® can penetrate living skin within 24 hours.
-
Epidermal Absorption
Absorption was observed throughout the 24-hour study period.
-
Microscopic Analysis
Tropoelastin was observed penetrating into the epidermis.
-
Multi-Ingredient Formula
Dermalastyl® combines Elastatropin® with peptides, antioxidants, and hydration-supporting ingredients.
Scientific Foundation
Elastin is one of the key structural proteins responsible for skin elasticity and resilience. Tropoelastin serves as the natural precursor used by the body to create elastin.
Dermalastyl® was developed around the idea that supporting skin with tropoelastin-based technology may help address visible signs of aging associated with elastin loss, including fine lines, wrinkles, and reduced elasticity.
