Products in Cosmetic Ingredients: Hydrating

Marine Filling Spheres™ are dehydrated microspheres of marine collagen and glycosaminoglycans that have the capacity to rehydrate in the presence of water and regain their initial volume. When they are small and dehydrated, they swell in the presence of water in the skin. Their volume is multiplied 10x. This volume change causes an almost immediate visible smoothing of the skin surface. After remaining in the hollow of the wrinkle, they are degraded by enzymes to slowly release the water initially absorbed, thus being a good moisturizer.

Hydrasensyl® Glucan Green merges the beneficial properties of hyaluronic acid and collagen. Its structure enables Hydrasensyl® Glucan to bind large amounts of water in the skin like a natural water super-absorber. At the same time, the polysaccharide chains are intertwined to form a rope-like, highly resilient triple helix like collagen. This 3D structure makes Hydrasensyl® Glucan highly stable and insensitive to harsh formulation conditions. Besides its clinically demonstrated skin smoothing and hydrating properties, it helps to reduce the appearance of redness.

Verdessence™ Alginate (formerly Hydagen® 558P) is an algae-based, natural rheology modifier that also provides an enhanced feel on the skin, making it suitable for skin care formats. In hair applications, it acts as a multifunctional styling fixative and rheology modifier, providing a natural hold and long-lasting curl definition, even in high humidity.

Hispagel® Oil LV can primarily be used as a lubricant, sensory modifier, and moisturizing agent due to its rheological properties, water solubility, and hydration capacity. Hispagel® Oil LV is commonly used in cosmetic products for skin care and hair treatment.

Irwinol® LS 9890 is derived from the wax of the bush mango. Irwinol® is a botanical butter made mainly of triglycerides of saturated fatty acids. It forms a substantive protective film on skin that softens the skin, causing it to feel repaired immediately after application without any oily feeling.

Ultra Filling Spheres® C00487 technology is based on the ability of dehydrated and cross-linked spheres to penetrate the upper layers of the epidermis and to absorb the water that evaporates from the deep dermis. Thanks to their hygroscopic properties, the volume of the spheres increases rapidly. Thus inflated, they tighten the skin, causing wrinkles to appear smoothed and leaving a skin surface that feels elastic with long lasting hydration.

Hyaluronic Filling Spheres® are based on the use of a hygroscopic material to make a sphere. These spheres are dehydrated at first and fill up with water within the skin. This hydration process causes a change in volume proportional to the spheres’ moisture-retaining capacity. Hyaluronic Filling Spheres™ help to smooth the look of deep wrinkles through biotechnology in eye application for mature skin, anti-wrinkle skin care, deep wrinkle skin care ("elevens" wrinkles, forehead wrinkles, nasogenian folds), and intense moisturizing skin care.

Proteasyl® TP LS 8657 Connected skin is a firm and elastic skin benefiting from proteoglycans and fibers emitting a strong tonicity signal at all levels in the skin. With age, these tonicity signal emitters become depleted in the skin causing the tonicity signal to lower. In addition, proteases jam the tonicity signal by breaking the proteoglycans and fiber network. Proteasyl® TP LS 8657 is a natural polypeptidic ingredient that quickly works with the body’s ability to enhance skin elasticity.
