For a healthy and even skin complexion and improved emotional wellbeing
Based on timut pepper, a spice plant from the Himalayas, TiMOOD™ can improve neuronal function in the skin and thereby increase skin homogeneity. Moreover, TiMOOD™ positively influences one’s mood and emotional wellbeing.
In a global society characterized by more and more people feeling stressed, the concept of emotional wellbeing has become increasingly important. Skin that feels good can boost one’s mood; not only consciously due to a visible improvement of the facial appearance but also unconsciously via the skin-brain axis. This link between the skin and brain is achieved by signaling via released molecules as well as through the direct connection by nerve cells.
In a co-culture model of sensory neurons and keratinocytes, timut pepper extract increased neuron survival and neurite length, as well as keratinocyte proliferation and the release of dopamine. This demonstrated the potential of TiMOOD™ to protect the dense network of neurons in the skin, which can be impaired in aged skin.
A clinical study has shown that 2 % TiMOOD™, applied for 28 days in a face cream
- Improved emotional wellbeing measured by the EmoCompass® tool in stressed volunteers
- Significantly improved skin tone evenness
- Improved skin complexion in terms of both reduced redness and enhanced luminosity, leading to a healthier and fresher complexion.
Thus, by protecting skin innervation, TiMOOD™ supports a healthy and even skin complexion and a balanced emotional wellbeing.
