This hexapeptide improves the water flow from the epidermal basal layer to the stratum corneum to preserve and increase the rate of skin hydration. This hexapeptide increases in vitro the levels of Aquaporin 3 in keratinocytes, aquaglyceroporin responsible for ensuring the transport of water, thus contributing to maintaining skin barrier integrity. Naturality according to ISO 16128 - 49.98% natural origin content.

Novemer™ EC-2 polymer is a 20% solids, liquid, pre-neutralized polymer dispersed in oil. It is an easy-to-use, multifunctional polymer designed for use in skin care and sun care oil-in-water emulsions. Novemer EC-2 polymer enables elegant, stable emulsions containing active ingredients with electrolytes and suspended inorganic pigments.

This glycoprotein protects the skin from dryness, thanks to its cryo-protective properties and strengthens the skin’s cohesion, thus reducing wrinkles. It stimulates the formation of collagen I and IV as well as elastin, as shown in vitro, thus restructuring the skin, which is protected under the most extreme cold conditions. Naturality according to ISO 16128 - 99.63% natural origin content.

Liposomed tetrapeptide that regulates fibrillogenesis and the growth of collagen fibrils, improving skin cohesion for a more resilient and flexible appearance. It mimics the sequences of decorin, a small proteoglycan that binds to collagen fibers. It controls the diameter of the fibers, offering more consistency, and regulates fibrillogenesis to soften the skin, as showed in vitro studies. Naturality according to ISO 16128 - 98.02% natural origin content.

A holistic peptidic approach towards a double barrier function reinforcement to restore vulnerable skin to its original condition, more like that of our ancestors, in closer contact to nature. It promotes microbiota balance, as shown in vitro, helping to boost the skin’s own defense system. Naturality according to ISO 16128 - 99.49% natural origin content.

From marine biotechnology, it redefines both body and facial areas sensitive to sagging due to aging or insufficient physical activity such as double chin, abdomen, arms and thighs, by mimicking the effect of endurance exercise. It induces in vitro adiponectin release from adipose tissue that signals the skeletal muscle to enhance metabolism of type I muscle fibers. Innovation Zone Best Ingredient Award: Gold, In-Cosmetics 2014. Naturality according to ISO 16128 - 100% natural origin content.

Active ingredient with boosting and moisturizing long-lasting effect, enhanced by its anti-free radical activity, thus preserving the youthfulness of lips. It contains particles of Sodium Hyaluronate, of reduced and homogenized size, which swells in contact with water, thus offering lips with a long-term plumping effect. It also has anti-free radical action to protect lips from pollution.

Protection against pollution provided by a polymer with metal chelating properties and a potent free radical scavenger. pollushield™ functional ingredient defends the skin from the damage caused by heavy metals, particulate matter (PM) and other harmful substances found in big cities and polluted areas.

xpertmoist® molecular film contains specific active ingredients with a high moisturising and regenerating effect that confers a pleasant feeling to the skin, even in extreme conditions. This occlusive improved delivery system has a great contact surface with the skin, minimising the TEWL and helping the active ingredients to penetrate more efficiently into the skin.

Kelco-Care™ diutan gum is a water-soluble biopolymer produced by fermentation designed specifically for use in cosmetics and other personal-care applications. Kelco-Care™ diutan gum has exceptionally good thermal stability, is compatible with high levels of alcohol and polyols, and is readily biodegradable. This innovative technology won the Innovation Zone Silver Prize for Functional Ingredients at In-Cosmetics Korea 2021. ​ Kelco-Care™ diutan gum products are manufactured by CP Kelco U.S., INC. Kelco-Care™ is a trademark of CP Kelco and is used under license.​

Pemulen™ polymers are high molecular weight, crosslinked copolymers.. They are primarily used to form stable oil-in-water emulsions. Pemulen polymers contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions within the molecule. The hydrophobic portion of the polymer adsorbs at the oil phase and the hydrophilic portion swells in the water forming a gel network around the oil droplets to provide exceptional emulsion stability.

Lipomoist™ molecular films contain polysaccharides that form a continuous film on the skin. They offer an instant, long-lasting and excellent skin moisturization and provide a soft, light and pleasant sensation.

Arbalon® R-50 cellulose liquid is a unique and highly functional form of pre-activated cellulose solution characterized by its ability to impart a true yield stress and suspend insoluble particles in personal care formulations while at the same time imparting a minimal negative impact on the final viscosity of the formulation. Arbalon™ R-50 cellulose liquid is an eco-friendly alternative derived from microbial fermentation process. Arbalon™ products are manufactured by CP Kelco U.S., INC. ​ Arbalon™ is a trademark of CP Kelco and is used under license.​

Oilkemia™ 5S polymer is 30% solids in Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides. It is a multifunctional oil soluble rheology modifier designed to impart thickening with clarity and suspension in a broad spectrum of oils and oil mixtures such as vegetable-based oils, triglycerides, esters, and organic UV filters. It allows the development of a wide variety of textures from thin non-dripping systems to lotions or thick creams, and even solid stick. In anhydrous and emulsion systems, Oilkemia™ 5S polymer can improve the sensory experience by reducing the greasy afterfeel of the oils. This rheology modifier is very efficient in medium and high polarity systems, with an average use level of 1.0-6.0 wt% as-supplied for low to high viscosity oil gels.

Sunhancer™ Eco SPF booster is a natural-derived technology that increases the Sun Protection Factor SPF). The key is in its micron-sized particles made from a blend of sustainably sourced waxes.

Novethix™ polymers are highly efficient, hydrophobically modified alkali-swellable emulsion polymers (HASE polymer) with a special molecular design to maximize their thickening efficiency in surfactant systems with clarity and synergy with electrolytes. They are designed to meet rheology needs for formulating crystal clear and viscous liquid detergents and are capable of thickening the most difficult to thicken surfactant systems, including anionic, nonionic, and zwitterionic surfactants. The Novethix polymer family has been reviewed for inclusion on various chemical ingredient listings, including EPA Inert Ingredients, EPA Safer Chemical Ingredients, and WERCS listing, providing customers with a wide-range of formulating options.
