In recent years, dermocosmetics has advanced toward formulas with real clinical backing, designed to treat sensitive, reactive, or condition-prone skin. Among these advances, one ingredient stands out for its efficacy and novelty: lactoferrin . Until recently, this molecule was impossible to use topically. Today, thanks to Korean biotechnology, it has become the heart of the Hyalferrin™ line.
What is lactoferrin?
Lactoferrin is a naturally occurring protein found in human fluids such as tears, saliva, and maternal colostrum. Its main function is to protect against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and toxins , acting as a potent immunomodulator.
In medicine it has been used orally, but its topical application was unfeasible due to its large molecular size (80,000 daltons), which prevented its absorption through the skin.
What makes the Hyalferrin™ line unique?
Hyalferrin has achieved what no other brand has managed: fragmenting lactoferrin and combining it with very low molecular weight hyaluronic acid to create N-Hyaluronoyl Lactoferrin™, an exclusive and patented molecule capable of penetrating the skin and acting from within.
This breakthrough has been internationally recognized and awarded as cosmetic innovation of the year.
Benefits of lactoferrin for the skin:
- It reduces inflammation in a physiological way.
- Strengthens skin immunity
- It calms outbreaks of rosacea, dermatitis, or lupus.
- It promotes the regeneration of damaged tissue.
- It works without irritating, even on skin after treatment or with chronic conditions.
The inclusion of bioavailable lactoferrin in dermocosmetics marks a turning point in the treatment of sensitive skin. This isn't marketing; it's science. Hyalferrin has made it possible.
