Consisting of optimized combinations, our Fision® Active portfolio delivers superior targeted performance. Substantiated benefits around moisturization, anti-aging, skin glow, lifting, gentle exfoliation, hair strength, anti-frizz, silicone alternatives, and more.

  Biocogent's Pleiotanicals® are high-potency plant-derived pleiotropic (multi-functional) active ingredients. These products are derived from whole plant or specific plant parts (flowers, roots, stems). Utilizing specialized and proprietary extraction techniques, such as clean supercritical fluids and cell rupture extraction and purification, active biomolecules are targeted, gently and efficiently extracted, purified and concentrated for greater activity and stability.

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.

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.

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.

Cressatine® is an active ingredient obtained as an aqueous extract of watercress (Nasturtium officinale) and Indian cress (Tropaeolum majus) leaves and shoots, stabilized with plant glycerin. Titrated with sulfur (200 mg/kg), Cressatine® stimulates and prolongs hair growth and strengthens hair from the roots. Cressatine® provides the elements needed to produce keratin for solid, well-structured hair and helps initiate hair regeneration via the Wnt pathway.

Synergistic complex of Manuka concentrate & Salix Alba (willow) bark extract enriched with salicylic acid.

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.

Plant C-Stem™ Vigna radiata is an active ingredient that is a completely new concept of plant extraction. Plant cells contain a big vacuole they use as a warehouse to store bio-active components required for growth and repair. From plant cell cultures, we selectively extract the content of the intracellular vacuole without the use of solvent or enzyme. Using the plant cell vacuole extract as an active ingredient is like using the plant serum.
