The Scientific Touch: Revolutionizing Skincare with Touchy Finger®
Innovative Touchy Finger® Technology Transforms Cosmetics Industry for Flawless Complexion
In the ever-evolving world of technology, Touchy Finger® emerges as a groundbreaking innovation that's shaking up the cosmetic industry. This remarkable device, developed by the Laboratory of Tribology and System Dynamics (LTDS) at the École Centrale de Lyon, is essentially an augmented, connected human finger designed to objectively assess the softness of surfaces, including skin and hair.
While its implications span across various industries, its impact on cosmetics is nothing short of revolutionary. Touchy Finger® offers a much-needed objective measurement of skin and hair softness, a parameter that otherwise relies heavily on subjective feedback.
The patented technology behind this marvel employs sensors to record vibration and pressure forces, akin to the bio-sensors present in human fingertips. These sensors transmit sensory information to the brain, just like in our own fingers, but in Touchy Finger®'s case, the device records these parameters, transforms them into numerical data, and sends them to a tablet for real-time, data-driven analysis.
Touchy Finger® transcends conventional methods by introducing an objective, quantifiable approach to measuring touch. It's an invaluable tool for cosmetic research and development, helping to validate perceptions related to smoothness and endorsing cosmetic claims with solid, measurable evidence.
This game-changing advancement caught the attention of industry experts, earning Touchy Finger® the Jury's Favorite prize at the 2021 Cosmetics Victories.
Ceramides: Nature's Tiny Builders of a Strong Skin Barrier
When it comes to promoting skin smoothness, ceramides play a pivotal role due to their central role in maintaining the skin barrier. These lipids, which constitute about 50% of the stratum corneum (the skin's outermost layer), are crucial in maintaining the skin's barrier function against external aggressors like pollutants and toxins.
By creating a protective layer between skin cells, ceramides prevent water loss and act as an effective shield against external irritants. They also contribute to skin moisture retention and overall health. Among the most important ceramides in preserving the barrier function are Ceramide NP, Ceramide NS, Ceramide AP, and Ceramide AS, among others.
An adequate balance of these ceramides is essential for optimal skin health and barrier function. Deficiencies in ceramides can lead to various issues associated with a weakened skin barrier, including dryness, sensitivity, and other skin conditions.
Hydrafence™: Nature's Moisturizer Meets cutting-Edge Science
Hydrafence™, a ceramide-boosting innovation, combines the power of upcycled, natural active ingredients with advanced science to provide deep hydration and improve skin health and smoothness.
The innovative mechanisms of Hydrafence™ work in three ways: boosting ceramides synthesis in the epidermis, improving epidermal cohesion, and reducing transepidermal water loss. The result is long-lasting hydration power and cumulative improvements in skin texture, proven through efficacy tests.
Innovative in vivo studies have utilized Touchy Finger® technology to demonstrate the effectiveness of Hydrafence™ in improving skin smoothness. This combination of successful formulations with Provital's ingredient offers the benefits of advanced hydration while enhancing sensorial perceptions.
Embracing a Technological Future: Paving the Way for Silky Smooth Skin
Touchy Finger® technology stands as a valuable partner in the new era of skin hydration. By providing objective measurements of improvements, it enhances brands' abilities to provide scientific evidence for claims relating to skin smoothness. This synergy paves the way for smoother, healthier skin through enhanced hydration, improved skin barrier function, reduced skin inflammation, and improved skin texture.
