Oligolin® BC10028 is a skin rejuvenation ingredient that supports the skin’s natural processes of densification, helping the skin have a firmer appearance. Thanks to the progress of medicine and technology, the aging of populations is a global phenomenon. Longer life expectancies mean more time to help prolong the skin’s youth.

Skin loses its capacity to restructure tissue; its firmness drops, and it becomes drier.

PROBIOLIFT™ is a probiotherapy cosmetic ingredient made of millions of live but dormant Lactobacillus crispatus bacteria, which are naturally found on the skin.

When activated by water on the skin, PROBIOLIFT™ increases dermal density, improves the appearance of forehead wrinkles, and protects skin from oxidative stress. Unlike other biotics on the cosmetic market, PROBIOLIFT™ uses a bacterium that is naturally present on the skin. PROBIOLIFT™ is perfectly complemented by Postbiolift, which is derived from the same biofermentation process.

PeptAIde® 4.0 is clinically demonstrated to aid the body’s natural defenses against silent inflammation.
