How it works

How Brightum works

Brightum harnesses the power of 3 unique marine extracts to reprogram, reform and renew skin. It supports every single node essential for skin vitality, helping it revive, rejuvenate and revitalize.

Oligosaccharides

Renew

Hydrolytic Oligosaccharides from Gigartina seaweed: boost skin renewal to perfect skin;

Fucoidan Complexes

Even

HMW Fucoidan Complexes from Ascophyllum seaweed: enhance skin clarity & improve dullness;

Oligo-fucoidans

Fill

Highly Sulfated Oligo-fucoidans from Laminaria: soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

In-vitro studies suggest that Brightum enhances skin fitness by promoting multiple cellular and molecular functions of several skin-related cells. Significant improvement of hydration, microreliefs, dullness, pigmentation, wrinkle and fine lines was observed in clinical studies.

Start with revitalizing skin epidermal cells and fibroblasts

A clinical study with 20 volunteers aged from 35 to 65 was conducted to evaluate efficacy of Brightum* on human skin renewal. The pigmentation model (DHA) is used to quantify the skin renewal capacity. Pigmentation is eliminated faster if the cell renewal is activated. Cream containing pseudo substance or Brightum was applied twice a day for 12 days.


The results indicate that Brightum* improved skin renewal, more than
doubled in just 4 days (p˂0.001).

Brightum clinically improves human skin renewal

Human dermal fibroblasts were treated with Brightum** as 0.15%
and 1.5%. The same fibroblasts treated with vehicle only were served as negative control. The cell number was quantified for each treatment
after 48-hours.


The results indicate that Brightum** supports and enhances the growth
of dermal fibroblasts.

Improve skin’s hydration and barrier function

A clinical study was conducted with 20 volunteers aging from 35 to 65 to evaluate the efficacy of Brightum* in improving skin hydration. Cream containing pseudo substance or Brightum was applied twice a day for 28 days. At the beginning and end of the study, skin hydration was assessed
by corneometer.


The results indicate that 95% of volunteers observed significant
improvement. The average hydration improvement is as high as
16.5%. The 8.8% difference between Brightum* and the control
indicates a well-improved skin barrier function. *p˂0.05, **p˂0.01,
***p˂0.001

Reinforce epidermis structure

Keratinocytes are the most abundant cell types within epidermis which is the outermost layer of the skin. To evaluate the genetic impact of Brightum* on human keratinocytes, total RNA was extracted from human keratinocytes treated with/without Brightum. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to profile change of gene expression of various skin biology – related genes.

The results reveal that Brightum* positively impacts gene expression of
many cellular factors critical for epidermis integrity and skin’s defense
machineries such as cornification, desquamation and innate immunity.
These data suggest a unique role of Brightum in improving skin’s self-
defense capacity, building a strong and healthier skin.

Build a healthier, smoother and softer skin

Microrelief is defined as cutaneous microstructure resembling irregular furrows on the skin surface. Microrelief pattern on skin has been widely used to evaluate skin health and aging. To evaluate the effect of
Brightum* on skin microrelief, a clinical study of 20 volunteers aged from
35 to 65 was conducted. Cream containing with/without Brightum was applied twice a day for 28 days. At the beginning and end of this study,
skin texture was evaluated by the profilometry.


The results indicate that Brightum* decreases the skin’s microrelief,
-6.3% on average and up to -42.9%. These data suggest the role of
Brightum in smoothing and softening the skin texture.

Enhance skin clarity and luminosity by targeting pigment cells

Irregular accumulating of melanin within the epidermis can cause uneven tones and skin pigmentation. Melanin is produced by melanocyte, a pigment cell within epidermis. Within melanocytes, an enzyme called tyrosinase utilizes tyrosine to generate pigment melanin. To evaluate the effect of Brightum*** on melanin production, an in-vitro assay was generated to mimic the process which tyrosinase utilizes tyrosine to generate melanin, plus Brightum could be added. The results were obtained by quantifying melanin levels.


The results indicate that Brightum*** significantly reduces melanin
production. These data also suggest the potential role of Brightum in
mediating melanocyte to produce less pigment melanin.

Brightum significantly reduce melanin production

To further evaluate the effect of Brightum*** on human skin tones, a
clinical study of 24 volunteers were conducted. Cream containing with/without Brightum was applied twice a day for 28 days. At the beginning and end of this study, the color of skin was measured by a chromameter. The results were analyzed by using skin color topology.
Data was summarized by using typology angles generated from
volunteers.


The results indicate that Brightum*** significantly increases skin clarity
and decreases skin pigmentation.

Brightum enhances skin fibroblast proliferation

Reprogram dermal fibroblasts to enhance collagen production

Collagen loss can cause fine lines and wrinkles. The loss of collagen can also reduce skin elasticity. To evaluate the effect of Brightum** on collagen production, in-vitro studies were performed. Human dermal fibroblasts from healthy donners were cultured with/without Brightum for 48 hours. At the end of the study, collagen synthesis was evaluated.


The results indicate that Brightum** enhances type I collagen synthesis of
human dermal fibroblasts.

Brightum stimulates Type I collagen production

To further evaluate the effect of Brightum** in a clinical setting, 42 volunteers with wrinkles in the crow’s feet area were recruited to use cream with/without Brightum twice a day and total for 28 days. At the beginning and the end of the study, the depth of crow’s feet wrinkles was evaluated by skin profilometry.


The results indicate that Brightum** decreases the wrinkle depth of
human skin, as high as 9.1% average in comparison with the control. **p˂0.01
