ABSTRACT: People are living longer, want to stay healthy and enjoy life as they age. The appearance of the skin contributes greatly to the perception of a person’s age. The study of centenarians living in “Blue Zones” with above-average life expectancy, as the island of Okinawa, Japan, provides valuable insights for understanding healthy ageing. SEQENS Personal Care travelled to Okinawa to take a closer look at the nutritional and psychosocial factors behind this unique longevity and to see if parallels could be drawn at skin level. The getto plant (Alpinia speciosa) was identified: studies performed at different scales on a getto leaf extract showed beneficial cutaneous effects by promoting tissue and cellular connections, while giving the skin a healthy appearance.
