Bix'Activ™ BC10050 is an extract of the red lip tree. It has the power to work with the skin’s natural abilities to reduce the oiliness of the skin for more beautiful skin within four weeks of application. Oily skin is not a problem of teenagers only. 58% of women worldwide between the ages of 25 and 34 are concerned about the shininess, enlarged pores, and imperfections that come with oily skin. With more refined-looking pores and the appearance of fewer imperfections and mattified skin, oily skin becomes a thing of the past.

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.

Plantacare® 2000 UP is a non-ionic surfactant made from 100% renewable, plant-derived feedstocks and is RSPO-MB certified sustainable. This product has first-rate environmental and skin compatibility profiles which help in creating perfect synergy of mildness, foam performance and effective cleansing.

Elestan® PW LS 9879 is a cosmetic ingredient that is designed to prevent and repair the signs and effects of aging on the skin.

Neurobiox® also enhances the appearance of skin luminosity and can be used for any global anti-aging product.

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.

Eperuline® PW LS 9627 is an aqueous extract from the bark of the tree Eperua falcata Aubl that has anti-irritation properties. Our bodies perform less efficiently with age; the once well-oiled cell machinery deteriorates, and we become more sensitive to environmental changes. Everyday aggressors such as UV and pollution trigger the release of pro-inflammatory markers that cause low-grade chronic inflammation that is distributed across the body. This mechanism, known as inflamm'aging, results in permanent, silent, and invisible inflammation. It causes cell degeneration and damages the tissues that maintain the inflammation, leading to accelerated aging. To break the vicious circle of silent inflammation, BASF experts developed Eperuline® PW. By fighting against age-related chronic micro-inflammation, it helps improve skin's firmness, elasticity, and tonicity, while reducing the appearance of sagging to maintain a youthful look.

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.

Ciste'M BC10023™ is an extract of rockrose adapted to an arid climate. It protects skin from the aging effects of outdoor sun exposure, air pollutants, and indoor exposure to blue light.

This cosmetic ingredient is certified by COSMOS, IECIC (China), and ISO 16128.

Vit-A-Like® PW LS 9898 is an alternative to retinol that has a comparable mechanism of action, equivalent performance, but with improved tolerance and stability. Retinol, a form of vitamin A, is considered as a benchmark for anti-aging products. Retinol, however, can be unstable and difficult to work with and can induce skin irritation, making it incompatible for sensitive skin formulations. In response to these issues, BASF developed Vit-A-Like™.
