lipids which make up the SC.Under such circumstances, transepidermal water loss levels may be elevated and the natural moisture barrier may be moresusceptible to irritation or to the development of dry skin. It is now well established that good skin condition is dependent upon nutrientsin the diet. Interestingly some nutritional factors could help to improve skin barrier such as fatty components (fatty acids, vitamin E)that helps to improve the natural moisture barrier of the skin and or keratinocyte cellular differentiation which in vitro improve SC barrierfunction. Essensis is a fermented dairy product specifically formulated with borage oil, green tea extract and vitamin E to improve skinbarrier function as part of a healthy diet. Essensis addresses the healthy population -globally and from a dermatological perspective.More precisely this product is the global population.A MOISTURIZING / ANTI-AGINGACTIVITY OF LUTEIN: RESULTS FROM A DOUBLE-BLIND CLINICAL STUDYEFFETS HYDRATANT ET ANTI-AGE DE LA LUTEINE : RÉSULTATS D’UNE ÉTUDE CLINIQUE EN DOUBLE AVEUGLEPIERFRANCESCO MORGANTI(ITALY)The introduction of a new generation of cosmetic and dietary products that can truly prevent or reverse signs of photoaging, anddirectly modify the metabolic activity of the skin, and the speed of its extracellular renewal, are growing year by year. These productsblend the visual improvement of skin appearance generated by a cosmetic or a diet supplement with the treatment function of a drughencethe name of Cosmeceutical and Nutriceutical .Moreover demand is growing for multifunctional products that offer excellent efficacy, but that can reduce the time spent on groomingto a few minutes per day. In addition, consumers still ask for safe and natural ingredients in their products, but want also both cosmeticand diet supplement that have an image based on scientific soundness and pure ingredients.For these reasons, customers want also to know more about products-how they are made, what they contain, the constitution of thepackaging, and the integrity and reputation of the manufacturing companies themselves.However, both ingredients and products, whatever natural or chemical-must be rigorously controlled with respect to both safety andefficacy. At this purpose, recently new cosmeceutical ingredients have been developed and studied. They include lutein, because ofits high water binding and antioxidant capacity, and the biopolymer chitin nanofibri, which can easily deliver the active compounds tothe epidermis and/or dermis.The quality and, therefore, the efficacy of today's natural lutein, is, in fact, much improved due to more sophisticated harvesting,purification, processing, and quality control methods. For the same reasons, the chitin'nanofibril, for its high purity, may be used ascosmetic / drug carrier to speed up the rate of penetration of active molecula, but may be also useful as cell recovery nutrient thatenhances the rate of DNA repair following sun exposure, or as moisturizing agent for its water retention capacity.Results: the results obtained indicate that the combined oral and topical administered lutein provides the highest degree on antioxidantand moisturizing protection. However, both the separate oral and topical administration of this oxycarotenoid also provide significantactivity in the skin.Additionally the use of chitin nanofibrils as carrier ameliorates the transcutaneous skin penetration, meanwhile the antiaging activity oflutein is synergized by the use of melatonin and hyddrolized collagen (gelatine).This and other obtained results will be reported and discussed.REFERENCESMorganti P.
