SUGICARE

SUGICARE™ is a unique botanical extract derived from Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica), inspired by the concept of Shinrin-Yoku — the Japanese ritual of forest bathing. Designed to bridge the connection between skin and mind, it works as a true neurocosmetic, helping to translate sensory signals into visible skin benefits while promoting a feeling of calm, positivity, and overall well-being.

Rich in energising phytoncides, polyphenols, peptides and sugars, SUGICARE™ delivers powerful antioxidant protection while supporting the skin’s natural renewal processes. In vitro studies demonstrate strong free radical scavenging activity, with over 98% antioxidant inhibition, alongside protection against lipid peroxidation and UVA-induced oxidative stress. Meanwhile, its signature molecule, isopimaric acid, plays a key role in reinforcing skin regeneration and vitality.

Beyond protection, SUGICARE™ delivers visible anti-ageing results. In vivo clinical testing on the eye contour area showed a significant reduction in wrinkle count of up to 46.3% after 28 days, alongside smoother skin texture and reduced microrelief.

What truly sets it apart is its neurocosmetic dimension. Using advanced sensory analysis techniques, including galvanic skin response and facial expression tracking, SUGICARE™ has been shown to evoke positive emotional responses — particularly feelings of joy, calm, and relaxation. This makes it ideal for formulations that go beyond skin correction to deliver a holistic, feel-good experience.

The result is skin that not only looks smoother and more youthful, but also feels balanced, comforted, and deeply connected to a sense of well-being.
