Extended technical information

Institute BCN technical documentation describes sodium pyruvate as a stable salt of pyruvic acid naturally present in the body, where it acts as an essential nutritive substance in the process that controls energy production. It also states that pyruvic acid is used in amino acid synthesis and that sodium pyruvate increases the energy available in the muscles, favouring a greater number of calories burned and less stored fat.

The manufacturer highlights that sodium pyruvate stimulates skin collagen synthesis, which is why it is considered an excellent energising substance with interesting effects in the cosmetic treatment of skin ageing, cellulite and hyperpigmentation. An antioxidant profile is also described, as it contributes to reducing damage caused by free radicals.

According to the technical sheet, the regenerative properties of sodium pyruvate make it an ideal product for facial and body treatments. It not only stimulates collagen synthesis, but also fibroblast activity. When combined with regenerative agents such as organic silica or Asian centella, Sodium Pyruvate Revitalising Solution is used to improve a variety of conditions, including skin ageing, stretch marks and hair loss. It is also stated to accelerate lipolysis, making it effective in anti-cellulite cocktails.

Cosmetic action of sodium pyruvate

Visible skin revitalisation

Institute BCN presents sodium pyruvate as an energising active that helps revitalise tired skin with visible signs of ageing. This profile makes it an interesting option in professional facial protocols with an antioxidant and regenerating approach.

Collagen stimulation

The technical documentation highlights that sodium pyruvate stimulates collagen synthesis, reinforcing its cosmetic interest in anti-ageing treatments and in routines where the aim is to improve the visible quality of skin tissue.

Fibroblast support

The manufacturer also attributes to it the ability to stimulate fibroblast activity, adding value to its integration in regenerating treatments and protocols aimed at visibly improving the skin structure.

Antioxidant action

The technical sheet states that pyruvate acts as an antioxidant, helping to reduce damage caused by free radicals. This action complements its use in protocols for dull, photo-exposed skin or skin with visible signs of ageing.
