Brands in Cosmetic Actives

Argireline® is considered a breakthrough in cosmetic technology as an alternative to well-known cosmetic procedures, topically targeting the same wrinkle-formation mechanism.

SunCaps™ Unbreakable and Transparent Encapsulated UV Filters SunCaps™ innovative encapsulated UV filters, hermetically entrapped and sealed, improve skin feel, safety and UV protection levels. The single layer cellulose-based polymer shell provides optimal isolation of the UV filter and prevents skin penetration and degradation while maintaining the UV protection qualities. SunCapsTM create new combinations of UV filter that were previously incompatible and develop formulations that provide enhanced sensorial experiences.

Sophorine®, a 100% botanical active ingredient, is a selective fraction of flavonoids obtained from Sophora japonica.

Nuteline® PS is a low molecular weight peptide extract from hazelnuts, obtained through biotechnology using a controlled enzymatic hydrolysis process.

AMPHOMER® Polymer is an amphoteric acrylic hair fixative that offers market-leading stiffness and unprecedented high humidity curl retention properties. It is a stiff resin with unparalleled holding power for ultimate control in all temperature and humidity conditions. AMPHOMER® Polymer can be applied in traditional and low VOC aerosol and pump hair sprays, and styling aids such as mousses, gels, creams, pomades, and glues where long-lasting finishing hold is desired. AMPHOMER® Polymer also provides thermal protection properties (refer to US Patent 9,119,972 B2) and acts as a hair shield for hot heating implements such as flat irons and curling wands, helping to protect the hair cuticle from hair damage caused by heat.

Glycopatch® 1.5P is an anionic polysaccharide, with a branching desacetylated structure, obtained by bacterial fermentation, from vegetal sorbitol and autolytic yeast extract. In the form of a 2.3% viscous solution in water, this active is especially dedicated for formulating patches, and not designed for emulsions.

Hyaluronic acid solutions with superior age-defying and moisturization efficacy.

Cosme-Phytamis® are plant extracts that don’t include preservatives and petrochemical derivatives commonly used in the manufacturing of cosmetic products. These eco-designed, natural active cosmetic ingredients contain a high concentration of active ingredients, providing remarkable cosmetic properties.

Omegalight® is an original and patented combination, in the form of an ester , of piperonyl alcohol and linoleic acid obtained by enzymatic means. These two molecules were selected for their well-known lightening properties or their structural similarity with compounds possessing these properties (eg. kojic acid). They have been modeled in the form of a conjugate to optimize their bioavailability and their effectiveness while guaranteeing safety for consumers and benefits in formulation (no color impact, color stability, etc.).

Because of its composition of triterpenes and phytosterols, Maturine is a choice active ingredient to provide an effective response to the amplification of skin aging during the menopause or premenopause. Stimulating collagen synthesis, Maturine helps reduce the depth of wrinkles and rebuilds the skin's microrelief network.

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”.

BICOMIDE® SM Control is a delivery system specially developed to oily skin with Blue light protection. The clinical studies showed that Bicomide® regulates the sebum production at source, reducing large pores and the shiny effect. BICOMIDE® also decreases the population of C acnes on the skin surface, equilibrating the microbiome and promoting a cleaning up effect on acne prone skin volunteers. The bicosomes of Bicomide® SM Control were designed to target the follicles. These bicosomes are distributed in the Epidermis surrounding the follicles and the flat skin areas, where they deliver the actives to regulate sebum and microbiome. The bicosome structure per se boosts these effects by strengthening the skin barrier function, which plays an important role in the equilibrium of the microbiome.

Zinc Omadine® is the most popular anti-dandruff ingredient in the world offering bactericide-fungicide efficacy in shampoos, conditioners and leave-on products. Lonza’s Zinc Omadine® products have been providing dandruff relief and improved scalp health for over 50 years.

Omega BE Ceramide® Pracaxi is behenic acid vectorized under a ceramide-like structure, obtained by a patented solvent-free enzymatic synthesis process, from a pracaxi oil of the Brazilian biodiversity rich in behenic acid.

Morpel™ DEET 30 is a water-based emulsion of 30% DEET, formulated as either a liquid for pump spray or a light cream. These products have been utilized by a variety of global agencies to aid in the protection of at-risk groups from Zika, Dengue, and Malaria. It is available in ready to re-pack bulk quantities

Because of its ability to form an ultra-strong matrix on the skin surface, Glycofilm provides the epidermis with a second skin, like a coat of mail, to protect it from physical and chemical attacks. Its matrix organization also gives Glycofilm interactive and textural properties adjustable according to the concentration of other products of formula (salts, ethanol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, PEG-8).

COSMACOL emollients and waxes are high purity lipophilic emollients based on linear and monobranched primary fatty alcohols. They show important dermatological properties and exhibit also a gentle, non-greasy feel. Due to their peculiar hydrophilic characteristics, COSMACOL products like COSMACOL OE or COSMACOL Esters exhibit also excellent spreadability. COSMACOL Esters are ideal formulation components for modern, high quality cosmetics. Due to their high incorporation ability of powders and pigments they are also recommended for make-up products.

Nutrilan® types are skin-identical amino acid compositions with a high substantivity to skin and hair. BTC’s protein derivatives Nutrilan® strengthen, protect and repair hair. They as well show improved skin and mucous membrane compatibility of surfactant formulations. They are used as care additives in personal care formulations such as mild surfactant preparations, skincare, sun care, and hair care products.
