acids of the baobab tree, PhytoRNx Baobab
extract is made possible by a patent-pending
extraction system engineered to increase the
yield of small RNAs, the small ribonucleic
acids that regulate a multitude of cellular
processes in plants.
Optiphen DLP preservative is a sustainable

BASF
BASF’s new active ingredient, Collalift
18, an extract of African mahogany bark,
improves the skin’s elasticity recovery and
visibly reduces pores, lines and wrinkles. It
stimulates the synthesis of collagen XVIII,
a key element of the skin’s basement membranes
and the only collagenous proteoglycan
with biological activity present in all
skin layers, from surface to deeper layers.
The hydrolyzed linseed extract Oligolin
is BASF’s new anti-aging active for skin care
products. The new patented solution has
been proven to have an exceptional rejuvenating
effect on the skin. Experts from
BASF’s R&D department for bio-actives
and Reims University have uncovered the
benefits of flax seed oligosaccharides for the
skin including the capacity to act on tissue
structure and prevent skin aging.
Sveltine ST, extracted from flower, leaf
and stem of purple loosestrife, targets two
major body parts: it pushes up the bottom
and remodels the thighs. Clinical evaluation
showed a significant decrease in thigh
circumference and a visible thigh shaping
effect within two weeks of treatment.
Thanks to its high hydrolytic stability
at broad pH range and its skin and eye
tolerance, Cetiol 4 All is suitable for various
applications: face care, body care, color care,
antiperspirant and deodorant. In addition,
Cetiol 4 All provides a pleasant sensory profile,
initially nourishing and then turning
into a light after-feel. Being non-comedogenic,
Cetiol 4 All matches various skin types,
including acne skin.
Chemyunion
SkinBlitz from Chemyunion is an antipollution
active product that reduces the
permeation of pollutants by 65% with a
polymer film that provides a more protected
and healthy skin. SkinBlitz inhibits hyperpigmentation
and has calming properties,
reducing IL-6 (interleukin-6) production by
37%.
Evonik
Evonik’s new TEGO Pep 4-Comfort cosmetic
active ingredient selectively relieves typical
symptoms of sensitive skin, visibly calming
and revitalizing skin. The tetrapeptide
alleviates skin irritations, such as those that
typically arise from shaving. According to
one study, redness and itching were reduced
by 70% and burning by 56%. The active
ingredient also counteracts overreactions
triggered by repeated contact or external
irritants such as heat.
Gelest
Vertasil TM - L01 is a naturally derived
multifunctional hybrid fluid alternative to
caprylyl methicone and to cyclomethicone.
Derived from limonene, the major ingredient
of citrus rind oil, and a low molecular
siloxane, Versatil TM-L01 has physical
properties similar to cyclosiloxanes, plus
an improved sensory experience on skin. It
helps reduce tack and greasiness, imparts a
light and dry skin feel and leaves a soft and
silky after-feel. The colorless and odorless
fluid improves spreadability and enables
fast absorption on the skin. In addition, the
gentle cleansing properties of Versatil TML01
offer formulators an additional benefit
in cleansers, wipes, lotions, foundations and
other cosmetics and personal care products.
