"Blue Zones"

The "Blue Zone" concept was later popularised internationally by American journalist Dan Buettner, notably through his book "The Blue Zones" published in 2008, highlighting five territories of exceptional longevity: Sardinia (Italy), Okinawa (Japan), Ikaria (Greece), Loma Linda (California) and Nicoya (Costa Rica).

These territories combine remarkable biodiversity with traditional lifestyles, offering an inspiring model for the development of innovative natural ingredients for cosmetic, dermocosmetic and nutraceutical applications targeting skin longevity.
