It provides architectural support, allowing the cells to be anchored and influencing their organization and functions. The cutaneous matrisome is mainly produced by fibroblasts and keratinocytes, and consists of two groups of components. Although the matrisome is perfectly functional and organized in young skin, it is altered over time, resulting in an imbalance in the homeostasis of the matrix components and apparent skin aging,” explains the ingredient supplier. “Matrisomic components of the skin nucleus such as CCN1 (encoded by CYR6/1 genes), collagen and decorin are very sensitive to the impact of time and UV rays.”

To overcome this problem, PAT has focused on the benefits of white mulberry root, traditionally used for centuries in Chinese pharmacopoeia, and has developed its latest active ingredient: Prenylium.
