The accidental discovery, of the key natural organic ingredient that powers our line of skin care products, dates back to 1980 at a small farm in Chile. There, workers who routinely handled mollusks began noticing that the cuts and scrapes they incurred as a result of work were not getting infected, were healing quickly with no scarring, and their hands became very soft.

A few years latter a Spanish Doctor in medicine, specializing in oncology, discovered healing properties in the mollusks’ secretion by testing it in patients after observing that when they were close to his radiotherapy equipment, emitting gamma radiation to treat cancer, the creatures copiously secreted a lotion that protected them from the oxidizing effects of the radiation.

Validated by Scientific Screening

For years the Spanish co-authors of the following scientific paper had been working as “Sherlock Holmes of the Skin” to analyze, compare and detect the molecular activities that may unveil the intricate skin-regenerative properties of the macromolecules in the secretion that act as complex nano-machines to clean, repair, moisturize, orchestrate the regeneration and healing of skin cells and the skin matrix (in a way similar to how another mollusk achieves beauty: oysters coating an irritant to create a beautiful Pearl that can not possible be made so perfect in a lab or with man made machinery).

Several of the scientist’s findings were reported in Dermatology Journals in Spain (1996-2001) and in 2007 prestigious colleagues involved in skin cancer research, in the USA, have confirmed them.

The secretion or “serum”, as we prefer to call it because of how it supports the innate immune system of the skin, is now the basis of our complete skin care line of products, and of products prescribed by dermatologists in Europe for healing skin affected by radiotherapy for cancer or compromised by isotretinoin drugs.

The research published on the January 2008 issue of the Journal of The International Society of Skin Pharmacology reports the secretion has superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) antioxidant activities as well as other multiple modes of antioxidant action, acting at the level of free radical production and also sequestering free radicals.

They also report that the secretion stimulates fibroblast proliferation and the rearrangement of the dynamic structures of cells (actin cytoskeleton).

Additional mechanisms involved in the regenerative effect of the mollusk’s secretion include the stimulation of extracellular matrix assembly and the regulation of metalloproteinase activities, which limits the extent of the damage during wounding and scar formation.

Together, these effects provide an array of molecular mechanisms underlying the secretion’s induced cellular regeneration and support its use as a regenerative skin care product.

Complex Macromolecules in BIOCUTIS® serum act as nano-machines that clean, restore vitality, repair and regenerate damaged skin

Many scientists have studied snails and their secretions, as they were considered simple creatures that allowed for research and modeling of biological functions though to be more complex in vertebrates.

They have discovered macromolecules that repair and regenerate skin cells and skin structures and those are now being considered worthwhile candidates for the development of drugs.

Macromolecules operate as nano-machines within the cells and are everywhere in our biological systems.

They are molecular machines in the sense that they are modular, complex, have moving parts that carry out the same step many times over, and consume energy.

They perform essential tasks in the cell, such as reading out and translating the genetic code; generating or converting metabolic energy; generating force to enable the cell to move; taking up, synthesizing or secreting enzymes, metabolites or other macromolecules; recognizing and reacting to signals from the outside world; to name but a few.

These scientific findings and those of a new frontier in science called the sweet science of glycobiology, a burgeoning branch that attempts to understand how sugars in the body -called glycans- contribute to human health and contain information as necessary to define the complexity of life as that of DNA and proteins, shed light onto what is necessary for the effective care of human skin.

I have found this to be the most amazing product I have ever used, for all my skin concerns. Thank You!!!!!!!!!!

Raquel Sohn. New York. is a post from: BIOSKINCARE

My skin has improved considerably. The product feels good on my skin.

Charlotte Rust. New Zealand. is a post from: BIOSKINCARE

I would just like to let you know I’ve placed my second order. And that this time I’ve ordered 2 jars. It has been a wonderful experience using your product and I thank the Lord for guiding me to your website. I love the fact that it is natural, when so many products on the market today are not body friendly. I was truly searching for something that I could continue using if I became pregnant, and this is definitely it. I would just like to thank you again, for finding this miracle that God has created, and for helping so many people. May God continue to bless and keep you.

The cream was recommended to me by my sister. I was very skeptical at first because nothing had worked in the past with any consistency (for ingrown hair on eyebrows ). This cream is the ONLY product that works for me. The results are awesome.

I am amazed at how fast this cream works! I am ordering two more jars for my daughter and daughter in law. Thanks for a great product. (first ordered to help with ingrown hairs and bumps on my chin).

The back of my scalp has be overrun by keloids and folliculitis. I have been seeing a doctor and treating this condition for about 5 years with very minimual results. I have been using this product for about 2 months and close to 60% of the keloids are gone or noticably smaller. The Folliculitis also seems to be healing. Thanks for a product that does what it says it will do.
