Among consumers, several nutrients — primarily vitamins and minerals — are considered valuable to promote one’s natural beauty. In Europe, 72% of new products launched between 2019 and 2023 contain B vitamins, and 50% contain minerals. These supplements target 3 main health benefits:
- Skin
- Nails
- Hair
Many suppliers offer a combination of ingredients to maximize the efficiency of beauty-from-within supplements. At Gnosis by Lesaffre, we provide superior ingredients that can be blended to multiply and sustain health benefits.
Beauty and The Yeast
Zinc for Beauty Supplements
Lynside® Forte Zn is a zinc yeast providing a higher bioavailable source of zinc. Zinc is key for the skin for several reasons. It is involved in the reduction of acne and is also involved in each step of the wound-healing process. Zinc protects the skin against reactive oxygen species (ROS), free radicals generated when the skin is exposed to too much sun. The human body has developed an enzymatic network to protect the skin and reduce ROS, and this network is dependent on zinc.
In the ever-expanding beauty-supplement market, consumers seek solutions to avoid hair loss. Zinc deficiency is associated with hair loss and especially with alopecia aerata. Hair is made of keratin, secreted by keratinocytes. Zinc is involved in the differentiation and proliferation of these cells.
Keratin is also a major component in nails, so zinc is essential to support strong and healthy nail growth.
Lynside® Forte Se+ for Beauty-From-Within
Lynside® Forte Se+ is a selenium-enriched yeast. This yeast is rich in selenomethionine, the highest bioavailable source of selenium.
Selenium is a mineral commonly found in beauty supplements and an excellent skin antioxidant. Visual aging of the skin is a natural process impacted by age. Additional factors such as smoke, pollution, and sun exposure exacerbate this process. Selenium may reverse skin damage caused by sun exposure and nourish the skin as it ages.
Selenium, like zinc, is involved in the enzymatic network in the skin to limit ROS damage. Selenium has other actions as a beauty-from-within supplement, such as reducing the quantity of sebum secreted by the skin, and, as a component in nails, helps promote nail strength and health.
