When cells survive, we can protect against the effects of inflammation
Our anti-aging glycopeptide, AAGP®, works as a dual agent in a way that could protect and recover skin from ultraviolet (UV) radiation or harsh chemicals or assist in the treatment of atopic dermatitis and burn injuries. For the millions of individuals who suffer from skin conditions worldwide, AAGP® could have a role to play in helping prevent sun damage, inflammation, scarring, or signs of aging and more.

The impact of AAGP®
Chronic skin conditions can be both physically and mentally painful. In the United States, more than 85 million people are affected by skin conditions each year, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. AAGP® can recover skin cells after the damage is done, as demonstrated in a laboratory setting. As a result, this molecule has the potential to make treatments for skin conditions more accessible and affordable.
We’re researching two major ways that AAGP® can help: inflammation protection as well as UV-radiation and burn recovery.
Potential applications
- Cosmetics
- Lip balm
- Eczema
- Rosacea
- Sun burn treatments
- Diabetic ulcers
- Dermatological Inflammation

Inflammation protection
The most common dermatological issue is inflammation. This can cause chronic conditions like eczema or rosacea. Occasional rashes can also occur from exposures to natural or chemical agents and sensitivities.
Your skin is your largest organ. When it becomes inflamed, visible reactions can happen. Figuring out what’s wrong and getting your skin back to normal is hard enough without answering questions from family and strangers about what’s wrong with your skin.
We’re in the preclinical research stage of discovering AAGP®’s ability to protect skin from inflammation and are working hard to advance AAGP® to clinical skin trials.

UV radiation and burn recovery
