LOTUS GERM EXTRACT (B)-BG-05: restoring cellular functions for skin rejuvenation

Product HighlightBeauty & Personal Care

Explore Maruzen's reverse-ageing active designed to reactivate cellular renewal and vitality

The lotus germ, primarily a by-product of food and decorative industries, is upcycled to produce LOTUS GERM EXTRACT (B)-BG-05. It is separated from the lotus seed, which is associated with longevity, vitality and renewal thanks to its remarkable ability to germinate even after long periods of dormancy. 

Why choose LOTUS GERM EXTRACT (B)-BG-05?

With ageing, cellular waste progressively accumulates as cells become less efficient at breaking down and recycling damaged components. This is where LOTUS GERM EXTRACT (B)-BG-05 can plays a key role: by reactivating cellular autophagy, it helps restore essential cellular functions, including mitochondrial activity and the production of key skin components, supporting skin rejuvenation and a reverse-ageing effect.

INCI: Nelumbo Nucifera Germ Extract, Butylene Glycol, Water

Key benefits

By reactivating the cellular autophagy process, LOTUS GERM EXTRACT (B)-BG-05 supports the breakdown and recycling of cellular components into building blocks such as amino acids, which can then be reused for tissue biosynthesis. This renewed cellular recycling mechanism translates into key anti-ageing benefits:
  • Boosts intracellular and extracellular tissue biosynthesis
  • Promotes collagen and hyaluronic acid production by supporting the recovery of mitochondrial function, which naturally declines with age
  • Provides a face-lifting effect while improving skin elasticity and the appearance of deep wrinkles
