MONHEIM, Germany—Elestan is a new 4-in-1 solution from Laboratoires Sérobiologiques (LS), the active ingredient business of Cognis Care Chemicals, that not only protects the skin and counteracts the negative effects of aging, but also restores elasticity and firmness. Elestan is an extract of the leaves of Manilkara, an African tree.  

Elestan combats the effect of elastases, thereby protecting elastin and preserving the skin’s youthfulness. Where the elastic fiber network is already damaged, Elestan can contribute to its recovery by boosting the production of elastin. Similarly, Elestan also stimulates the synthesis of proteins associated with elastin, such as Emilin-1 and Fibulin-5 that play a crucial role in elastin formation and facilitate the correct organization of newly synthesized elastic fibers.

The efficacy of Elestan has been verified in various clinical tests. One of these was based on the Dynaskin method. This involves deforming the skin with a stream of pressurized air, and measuring the deformation behavior with a 3-D fringe projection technique. Skin firmness and tonicity were significantly improved after application of Elestan, compared to a placebo formulation: the volume of the depression was reduced by 10 percent and its maximum depth by 5 percent.

Its cosmetic uses are: anti-aging face care, elasticity-enhancing face care, anti-aging, anti-glycation preventive skin care and firming body care.
