Dermican® PW LS 9838 is a synthetic tetrapeptide that helps counteract this by improving skin’s natural firmness and thickness for a comprehensive anti-aging effect. As people age, they tend to lose the skin’s ability to synthesize collagen decreases, resulting in thinner, frailer skin. Dermican® PW LS 9838 helps with counteracting this process.

Eutanol® G 16 S is a slow spreading emollient that can be used in all types of cosmetic products. It is a clear, light-yellow oil with a neutral odor and is composed of ester of guerbet alcohol and fatty acids. This traditional emollient is perfect for modern cosmetic applications and provides a luxurious feel on the skin.

Vit-A-Like® PW LS 9898 is an alternative to retinol that has a comparable mechanism of action, equivalent performance, but with improved tolerance and stability. Retinol, a form of vitamin A, is considered as a benchmark for anti-aging products. Retinol, however, can be unstable and difficult to work with and can induce skin irritation, making it incompatible for sensitive skin formulations. In response to these issues, BASF developed Vit-A-Like™.
