SYN-GLOW®
Reveal your summer glow
How can we get a natural healthy glow, all year round?
We all love that natural sun-kissed glow that we get from a summer holiday. Naturally bronzed skin makes us feel beautiful and confident, healthier and revitalised. But a summer break only comes around once a year, and in the meantime, our busy everyday lives can leave us feeling tired, and our skin looking dull. Quick-fixes, like make-up or self-tanners, are only superficial, and sometimes even artificial. What if we could have something that works with skin, not just on it?
Consumers value having some tan to look good & healthy and feel confident
Beauty standards have evolved towards a more natural effect, moving away from deep tanning. With a just back from holiday look, people feel more youthful, beautiful & confident enough to wear less make-up -.as confirmed by Lucy, part of our “DSM Consumer Insight Hub”.

Mode of Action
Induction of biological tanning by topical application of active ingredients has long been a big challenge, with unsatisfactory results. dsm-firmenich have now developed a completely new small cosmetic peptide ingredient, proven to provide exceptional efficacy on human skin after topical application within a cosmetic formulation. Registered significant, visible long-lasting effects, for a healthy glowing appearance.
Based on our scientific evidence, SYN-GLOW® is proven to activate in vitro the Melanocortin 1 Receptor (MC1R), the master regulator of natural skin pigmentation. From a library of >100 peptides, SYN-GLOW® shows the best activation efficacy. MC1R is a very interesting target not only due to its effect on skin tone, but also because MC1R modulates skin’s defenses against oxidative stress (normally caused by UV irradiation), and enhances the DNA repair machinery of the cells to fight against UV-induced DNA damage.
