Oltre il Safe and Sustainable by Design: verso il paradigma SSEbD per la longevità cutanea

IT: La skin longevity non è anti-aging estetico, ma preservazione della funzione biologica cutanea nel tempo: omeostasi cellulare, integrità di barriera, risposta adattiva. Partendo dall’intuizione di Horst Rechelbacher e dal principio Cradle to Cradle, la relazione mostra come il framework europeo Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) possa evolvere in SSEbD, integrando due nuovi impegni: un’efficacia misurata longitudinalmente e un’etica socio-economica verificabile. Attraverso casi concreti — ingredienti biotecnologici da scarti agroalimentari (acido ialuronico da vinacce di Prosecco) e filtri UV bio-funzionalizzati (TiO2@SS, ZnO@Ch, AlgTiHA) — si delinea una roadmap che trasforma la conformità normativa in vantaggio competitivo.

ENG: Skin longevity is not about aesthetic anti-ageing, but about preserving the skin’s biological functions over time, including cellular homeostasis, barrier integrity and adaptive response. Starting from Horst Rechelbacher’s vision and the Cradle to Cradle principle, this presentation explores how the European Safe and Sustainable by Design framework, or SSbD, could evolve into SSEbD by incorporating two additional commitments: efficacy measured over time and verifiable socio-economic ethics. Through practical case studies, including biotechnology-derived ingredients obtained from agri-food waste, such as hyaluronic acid from Prosecco grape pomace, and bio-functionalised UV filters such as TiO2@SS, ZnO@Ch and AlgTiHA, the presentation outlines a roadmap for transforming regulatory compliance into a competitive advantage.
