Use in Cosmetics
Mucin (highly glycosylated protein produced by the cells of the epithelial tissues of the metazoans in their body) It is a protein responsible for maintaining hydration levels and provides lubrication and anti-adhesive properties between cells. Numerous studies since 1900 demonstrate its properties:
- Protects: Jellyfish mucin has been isolated and has great similarity to human mucin. It is one of the main contributors to the rheological properties (viscosity) of the mucosa, which plays a fundamental role in defending against pathogens and environmental stress.
- Moisturizes: Jellyfish mucin has three times more hydrating and hygroscopic activity (attracts moisture) than hyaluronic acid. ByKleo Jellyfish Cream and Jellyfish Serum incorporates the jellyfish´s own bioactives in its formula to provide hydration, reduce cellular damage and create an improvement in the union of keranocytes to provide greater protection and hydration to the skin.
Xanthium strumarium (Burdana)
