Brands in Cosmetic Actives

Medolla Iberia has been producing plant extracts and floral waters for more than 10 years, marketed worldwide with the renowned brand Medxtract.With our state-of-the-art method of extraction by ultrasounds, we provide our customers with outstanding products meeting the highest standard of quality. The extraction by ultra sounds is an exclusive physical system that offers important advantages in comparison with traditional systems. The dehydrated vegetable materials, placed in solvent to rehydrate, absorb more quickly and a larger quantity if subject to ultrasounds. The fast transfer of energy created by ultrasounds, in fact, produces accelerated flows of solvent (ultrasounds jet), that can enter tissues more easily.

Soyaline® is a product obtained from soybean seeds (Glycine soja) by extraction and controlled hydrolysis of the protein fraction.

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.

MEADOWESTOLIDE® is a unique, functionally significant derivative of Meadowfoam Seed Oil. The development of this estolide represents a new level of advanced ingredient technology. The estolide is a dimeric molecule, which is structurally sophisticated and functionally active. MEADOWESTOLIDE® provides measureable and meaningful consumer benefits. In hair, the estolide improves intra-fiber moisture retention and thereby imparts protection from thermal damage, while restoring the elasticity and reducing the coefficient of friction of the hair cuticle surface to prevent mechanical damage. In skincare systems, MEADOWESTOLIDE® helps to adjust the hydration levels of the interstitial spaces and provides significant moisturization benefits. These benefits are often perceived as softer, more pliant tissue. Initial investigations suggest that the estolide will prove to be a very important agent in protecting skin from the damaging effects of a variety of common causes. MEADOWESTOLIDE® has been incorporated into decorative cosmetics where significant attributes were observed including improved elegance in product texture and, in the case of pigment delivery, considerably better color pay-off”.

Organic stevia leaf-based extract, obtained using subcritical water extraction technology. Stevisse™ advanced botanical ingredient has a retinoid-like mechanism that minimizes the appearance of wrinkles for younger-looking skin.

HTEssence® is the first nature-identical hydroxytyrosol. This bioactive compound is found in olives and is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants with numerous health benefits.

INVINCITY® is a concentrated form of Fucoidans (sulphated polysaccharides) of high molecular weight (higher than 100kDa) mainly made up of fucose, but also of xylose and glucuronic acid, produced from aqueous extraction of the intracellular polysaccharides of a brown alga, Ascophyllum nodosum, and from their concentration by ultrafiltration.

Reproage™ is a peptide that modulates the levels of microRNA-145 (miR- 145), involved in the regulation of epidermal differentiation. Reproage™ peptide may induce cell reprogramming to make the self-renewing ability of the epidermal basal layer last longer and help improve the skin complexion as a result.

It fights expression wrinkles by modulating muscle contraction in the pre-synaptic pathway and is specially addressed to topical formulations claiming to complement the injections of Botulinum Toxin Type A for enhanced anti-aging results. It addresses fundamental factors within muscle contraction in the pre-synaptic pathway to help attenuate expression wrinkles. As shown in vitro, it is able to inhibit neurotransmitter release at the pre-synaptic level, reducing the neuronal exocytosis and inhibiting muscle contraction. Innovation Zone Best Ingredient Award: Bronze, In-Cosmetics 2014. Naturality according to ISO 16128 - 99.48% natural origin content.

Lipochroman is powerful bioinspired antioxidant that protects biomolecules and cellular functions from oxidative stress damage and may aid in skin detoxification. As a result, it may help to reduce signs of aging and improve the skin appearance.

Given its high concentration of polyphenols and PCO (catechin derivatives), Avelanine has veinotonic, anti-radical and protective properties against the action of serumal elastases, to effectively combat the fragilisation of peripheral capillaries and the resulting sensation of discomfort, heavy legS.

Sulfidal® (Colloidal Sulfur) is a fine, pale yellow powder, category I anti-acne active, which is utilized in the development of anti-acne creams, lotions, and ointments.

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.

CutiBiome CLR is a synergistic complex of lipophilic extracts from Manuka, Black Pepper and Magnolia. It provides essential support for the natural balance between skin and its microbiota in difficult situations, like acne and dandruff. CutiBiome CLR reduces the film forming activity and significantly inhibits the growth of virulent phylotypes of Cutibacterium acnes. It strongly reduces inflammation involved in acne and dandruff. Sebum, comedones, pustules and pimples are reduced dramatically, as was confirmed by instrumental determinations and the volunteers themselves. Other in vivo studies showed potent reduction of dandruff. 4 weeks of 3 times weekly use of a hair tonic with CutiBiome CLR lead to similar results to Piroctone Olamine, but clearly outperformed it in reducing scalp oiliness, sensitivity and itch.

Camaderm® a vegetable juice of fresh organic black crowberry (Empetrum nigrum) from Lapland, obtained by cold pressing in a non-denaturing condition and stabilized by organic vegetal glycerin. Traditionally, black crowberries were consumed by Unuits who called them "paurgnaqutiit". Rich in water and polyphenols (flavonoids and anthocyans), they allowed Eskimo race to survive for centuries in a hostile environment. Today, this phytochemical richness (higher than other well-known berries as cranberry, blackcurrant, blueberry or sea buckthorn) allows the black crowberries to be a real anti-aging bodyguard. Camaderm® improves microcirculation, body firmness and tonicity and prevent definitive stretch mark forming.
