NMN – Cellular Energy for Healthy Skin
INCI designation: Nicotinamide Mononucleotide
Talent: Increases cellular energy production and promotes DNA repair for healthy, resilient skin
Skin aging begins at the cellular level. The slow-aging active ingredient NMN targets this precisely: NMN activates energy production in skin cells, supports DNA repair, and can thus promote skin regeneration. Learn here how NMN revitalizes the skin from within and combats skin aging.
Innovative active ingredient for Skin Longevity
NMN (Nicotinamide mononucleotide) is a natural substance found in both plants and the human body. As a direct precursor of NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), NMN plays a central role in cellular metabolism. NAD+ is a vital coenzyme essential for energy production, DNA repair, and numerous metabolic processes within cells.
As we age, NAD+ levels in the body steadily decline. This decrease is a key cause of the skin aging process. In our Skin Longevity products, we use liposomally encapsulated NMN, allowing it to penetrate the skin optimally.
The science behind NMN
Liposome encapsulation for maximum effectiveness
The liposomal encapsulation of NMN is an innovative technology that significantly increases the stability and bioavailability of the active ingredient. Liposomes are tiny, spherical hollow bodies made of natural phospholipids that enclose and transport NMN. This structure resembles the building blocks of cell membranes, ensuring optimal compatibility.
NMN is converted in the body by specific enzymes into NAD+ NAD+ performs two main functions in the skin:
Energy production: NAD+ is a central factor in cellular metabolism and plays a key role in the respiratory chain.
DNA repair: NAD+ is essential for the activity of enzymes that recognize and repair DNA damage – an important anti-aging mechanism.
Effect on the skin: Regeneration at the cellular level
NMN supports the skin in many ways. Scientific studies show that it can promote cell regeneration and vitality and increase collagen production. Collagen is the skin's structural protein and provides firmness and elasticity. Furthermore, NMN can strengthen the skin barrier and improve moisture supply. It also protects against oxidative stress and harmful environmental influences by enhancing the cells' antioxidant defense.
