Introducing Tulsinity Bio: The Stress-Busting Super Ingredient

At the forefront of innovation in the beauty and wellness industry, Laboratoires Expanscience has unveiled Tulsinity Bio—a cutting-edge ingredient hailed for its ability to bridge the gap between skin health and mental well-being. Making its debut at VitaFoods 2025, this remarkable extract is sourced from the leaves of the revered Krishna variety of holy basil, an adaptogen with a long history of helping the body cope with stress.

How Does It Work? A Dual Approach to Skin and Mind

Tulsinity Bio acts on the skin-brain axis by addressing the psychological stressors that affect our skin’s appearance. Sebastien Le Quere, the nutraceutical development and marketing manager at Laboratoires Expanscience, explains that this ingredient boasts multiple mechanisms of action to mitigate the effects of stress on the skin. By regulating cortisol levels locally and systemically, Tulsinity Bio minimizes oxidative stress and inflammation, both crucial contributors to premature skin aging.

Scientific Validation: Proven Effectiveness on Stressed Skin

Before its launch, Tulsinity Bio underwent rigorous scientific testing. An in vitro study on stressed skin cell models revealed that the holy basil extract effectively preserves skin barrier integrity, hydration, and elasticity. It also significantly reduces cortisol production, oxidative damage, and inflammation in stressed keratinocytes. Another groundbreaking pilot study involving an eight-week randomized controlled trial demonstrated that a daily intake of 250 mg of Tulsinity Bio led to remarkable outcomes—reduced perceived stress, lower salivary cortisol levels, improved skin elasticity, diminished sensitivity, and a boost in self-esteem.

Sustainability at Its Core: Ethical Ingredient Sourcing

Laboratoires Expanscience is committed not just to skin health but also to the planet. Tulsinity Bio can be incorporated into various delivery formats, from capsules and gummies to beverage sachets, making it versatile for consumer use. The holy basil used in Tulsinity Bio is cultivated using regenerative farming practices and holds multiple certifications, including Regenerative Organic Certification (ROC) and Fair for Life (FFL), reflecting a genuine commitment to sustainability.

Conclusion: A Purpose-Driven Ingredient for a Better Future

"These certifications symbolize our holistic approach to ingredient development—a journey that benefits the environment, supports farmers, and enhances consumer well-being," says Le Quere. With Tulsinity Bio, Laboratoires Expanscience aims not only to enhance emotional wellness and skin vitality but also to create a positive impact from seed to skin—delivering a potent, purposeful nutraceutical active ingredient for the modern beauty and wellness landscape.
