Hydagen® Aquaporin is made of highly concentrated glyceryl glucoside. One of the fundamental processes of life is the transportation of water molecules through the surface layer of the cells. The structure of these channels was clarified in the 1990s, and the corresponding proteins were named aquaporins. The discovery of these water canals was awarded with the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 2003. BASF now makes one of the best-known aquaporin-supporting substances available to the broad cosmetic market. Clinical studies show that Hydagen® Aquaporin boosts the moisturizing capacity of glycerin for instant and 24-hour hydration.

Lox-age® supports the body's ability to release the skin's own multi-active LOX, which helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and pore visibility and smooth the skin's surface for a youthful and radiant look.

This all-natural, plant-based active ingredient noticeably improves skin smoothness and youthfulness and adds a highly appealing, verifiable claim to various anti-aging products with a clinical efficacy similar to retinol. Lox-age®improves epidermal architecture and is perceived to be as effective as retinol for improving wrinkles and skin appearance.
