The extracellular matrix (ECM), also referred to as connective tissue, plays an important role in the structure and function of our skin, as it acts as the foundation to which the epidermis and dermis are firmly anchored. The ECM is composed of collagen, elastin and other important structural proteins, but these can only provide structure if the ECM is securely fastened at both the top (epidermis) and at the bottom (dermis). As we age, this foundation may loosen and become weak, and then our skin gets saggy and wrinkly. To avoid this, the structure and bonds within the ECM should become main focal points for anti-aging products.

FSS Rye Seed Extract is intended to restore and maintain this important dermal/epidermal bond by increasing components that interact with the ECM such as integrin and vinculin synthesis. Integrins are integral membrane proteins in the plasma membranes of cells, and they assist in signal transduction from the ECM to cells. Vinculins are membrane-cytoskeletal proteins that are located in focal adhesion plaques that link integrins to the actin cytoskeleton. Vinculin’s binding properties are imperative for young, healthy-looking skin.

Additionally, FSS Rye Seed Extract may stimulate the synthesis of smooth muscle actin fibers, which are globular structural proteins that form filaments to provide mechanical support for cells, determine cell shape, enable cell movements, and participate in cell junctions. In muscles, actin plays an important role, along with myosin, in muscle contraction. 

For the ultimate anti-aging product, we would like an ingredient to improve muscle integrity, anchor the dermis to the epidermis, and increases the activity and signal transduction of intercellular proteins within the ECM, to keep our skin tight and supple. FSS Rye Seed Extract may boost actin levels to produce forces that are crucial for controlling the tension of the dermis and tightening of the skin. When coupled with an increase in integrins and vinculins, this product aids in the adhesion of the dermis to the epidermis, so that we can stay young and beautiful.
