Understanding Biological Age

Biological age is about more than just the years you’ve been alive; it quantifies how well your body functions. When compared to your chronological age, it can provide insight into whether your habits and environment are working for you or against you. (1, 2)

The GlycanAge Clock: A Revolutionary Approach

There are various biological, or molecular, clocks that are designed to measure the biological age of a complete body based on epigenetics and other biological signals. Since each organ has its own biological age, OneSkin has even pioneered a skin-specific molecular clock, MolClock, to predict skin’s biological age.To measure our products' effects on aging across the entire body we teamed up with GlycanAge, one of the most advanced and promising methods for measuring the biological age of the entire body.The GlycanAge Clock leverages over 30 years of scientific research and more than 200,000 tests to assess biological age comprehensively. Similar to how MolClock measures methyl groups on DNA, GlycanAge measures sugar groups on proteins, which are known to accumulate with age. (3)

The Connection Between Skin Aging and Longevity

Skin aging and overall longevity are intricately linked. As your skin ages, it reflects broader systemic changes that can impact your health. The mechanisms underlying skin aging are closely tied to cellular processes that affect your entire body. For example:
  • Inflammation: Continued exposure to environmental pollutants and UV rays can trigger skin inflammation. This inflammatory response is not isolated to the skin; it can spread throughout the body, leading to systemic inflammation and accelerated aging. (4)
  • Cellular Senescence: External aggressors such as UV radiation can induce cellular senescence in skin cells. These cells accumulate over time and release inflammatory cytokines, further damaging surrounding tissues and impacting overall bodily functions. (5)
Addressing these factors through skincare and lifestyle interventions can potentially influence not only your skin’s appearance but also your overall health and longevity.

OS-01 BODY: A Topical Longevity Supplement For Skin and Body

OS-01 BODY rewrites the rules of aging by tackling it at the source, ensuring your skin and health stay unstoppable.

1. OS-01 BODY Pauses Overall Biological Aging

OS-01 BODY is clinically validated to pause biological aging, measured by the GlycanAge Clock. When tested against the control group, which used a standard moisturizer for 12 weeks, participants' biological age did not change after 3 months of using OS-01 BODY but increased when using the control formula.This points to the important role that skin has on overall longevity, and OS-01’s potential to influence the aging process.

2. OS-01 BODY May Reduce Systemic Inflammation

OS-01 BODY may also help reduce systemic inflammation by significantly reducing IL-8 circulating cytokines. After 12 weeks, participants using OS-01 BODY demonstrated decreasing cytokine levels and a significant decrease in IL-8 compared to the control group. This indicates that OS-01 BODY may help reduce systemic inflammation and points to the skin’s pivotal role in whole-body inflammation.Chronic inflammation is a key contributor to aging and various age-related diseases. We hypothesize that by targeting cellular senescence in the skin with the OS-01 peptide, OS-01 BODY may alleviate inflammation in the skin, reducing inflammation levels throughout the body. (6)
