Cetiol® Sensoft is a fast-spreading emollient with a multi-dimensional softness sensation for all cosmetic applications. It is suitable for decorative cosmetics, as well as sun care formulations due to its outstanding solubilizing capacities for crystalline UV filters, pigment dispersing properties, and for face and body care applications. This product is a clear, colorless, almost odorless oil of low polarity and low molecular weight.

PROBIOLIFT™ is a probiotherapy cosmetic ingredient made of millions of live but dormant Lactobacillus crispatus bacteria, which are naturally found on the skin. As skin microbiota diversity changes with age, certain beneficial lactic acid bacteria decrease in mature skin. BASF researchers found that Lactobacillus crispatus is one such bacterium, decreasing in specific skin areas and disappearing from the wrinkle hollows of older individuals. 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.

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. Indeed, with age, the skin becomes thinner, the dermal epidermal junction (DEJ) flattens, and dermis density decreases. Skin loses its capacity to restructure tissue; its firmness drops, and it becomes drier.

PeptAIde® 4.0 is clinically demonstrated to aid the body’s natural defenses against silent inflammation. It is characterized by four multifunctional peptides, whose discovery has been made possible by the cutting-edge digital technology of artificial intelligence (AI). With the help of a controlled enzymatic hydrolysis process, these peptides were specifically excised from organic rice proteins. PeptAIde® 4 is scientifically demonstrated to prevent dry skin, discomfort, and loss of firmness while soothing a sensitive scalp prone to dandruff. Acute inflammation is the body’s natural response to heal and fight infection. Chronic silent inflammation, however, can fight against healthy cells, cause disease, and accelerate the body’s degeneration. The effects of this long process are almost invisible in young people, but it gradually creates deep damage to the skin and hair.
