What are exosomes in skin care and why do they matter?

From Dr Barbara Sturm’s Exoso Metic range to Eucerin’s Hyaluron-Filler Epigenetic Serum, made with its Epicelline ingredient, many skin care brands have been launching formulations based around epigenetics.  

Last week US-based doctor skin care brand Beekman 1802 launched Milk RX Cream, which it had formulated with ‘goat milk exosomes.’  

The company claimed that “through advanced proteomic testing and electron microscopy, we have discovered the potential of goat milk exosomes to enhance cellular activity and signal the skin’s matrix.”  

It has combined this ingredient with reneseed polypeptides, which it says this “promotes increased collagen production, resulting in a tighter, more lifted appearance.” 

Beekman 1802 has been researching goat milk for 15 years and says it is a rich source of exosomes. Its clinical research has shown that the milk “not only contains nutrient-dense exosomes loaded with keratin and immunoglobulins, but also has an average size of 102.8 to 109.3 nanometers and a concentration of approximately 116 billion particles per millilitre.”

What are exosomes for skin care?  

Exosomes are nano-sized particles (about 30 – 200 nanometres wide) naturally secreted by stem cells, that are being used for skin and hair rejuvenation. They are naturally found in the body and are being considered an important breakthrough in skin ageing therapy.  

They offer a multifaceted approach to tackling ageing concerns and can help lessen wrinkles, enhance skin texture, and improve elasticity.
