Glycation, the enemy of youth
Less well-known than oxidative stress in terms of aging, glycation is no less of a culprit. This phenomenon of sugar binding to youth proteins is in fact the other major cause of accelerated skin aging.
What is actually happening?
When sugar circulating in the blood is neither used nor stored, it can attach to collagen and elastin fibers, forming glycated proteins (AGEs), leading to their stiffening and the loss of their properties on the elasticity and firmness of the skin. This results in the appearance of wrinkles and premature sagging of the skin. In addition, as if caramelized, the skin becomes yellowish, dull, and brown spots may appear.
The alliance of two powerful active ingredients from nature!
Birch Bark Extract titrated in Betulinic Acid
Contained both in the bark of the Birch and in its fungus, Betulinic Acid is a fundamental molecule which gives the birch its silvery white bark and its nickname “tree of light”. It is used for its therapeutic benefits, particularly in the study of diabetes and its action against glycation.
Organic Chaga
Nicknamed the "mushroom of immortality," this natural anti-aging treasure is a so-called symbiotic fungus that thrives on the bark of birch trees. Incorporated into cosmetic treatments, this almost magical mushroom is voted - according to the USDA* ORAC table (measure of antioxidant activity) - the most antioxidant plant organism in the world, known for its anti-inflammatory and restorative benefits.

Chaga, mushroom of immortality
In addition to its sap, the birch tree contains a natural anti-aging treasure, an organism that grows exclusively on its bark: Chaga (botanical name: Inonotus obliquus ). A medicinal mushroom revered in many civilizations (Russia, Korea, Japan, Canada, etc.), it is used in decoctions that are said to have the power to increase longevity and strengthen the immune system. It is
nicknamed "Diamond of the Forest" or "Mushroom of Immortality"
What if it were integrated into a skin care product?
Miracle! This almost magical mushroom contains one of the highest concentrations
in antioxidants from the plant world (it contains around 25%) and in ß-glucans which have the power to stimulate the defenses
immune system and protect cellular DNA. On its own, it is capable of providing a highly powerful anti-free radical action, controlling inflammation, and boosting immunity.
B-Glyverse ® patent: a unique action on glycation
The result of more than 4 years of research, Saeve Laboratories have developed this exceptional complex, capable of acting effectively against the phenomenon of glycation at two levels:
- Preventive action: prevents and limits the glycation of youth proteins (collagen, elastin) by 52%*.
- Corrective action: deglycates glycated youth proteins by 26%* (True innovation, never before seen in cosmetics!)
