Phytosoothe® LS 9766 helps to protect the skin barrier, which is essential for the body's defense against the environment. The stratum corneum's lipids and structural elements create a physical barrier, while microorganisms on the skin surface and deeper layers form the microbiotic barrier, which defends against pathogens. However, both barriers are vulnerable to damage from environmental factors. Phytosoothe® LS 9766 accelerates the skin's natural recovery after impairment, supporting a healthy microflora, increasing hydration, and reducing trans-epidermal water loss.

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.

BASF Phytofirm Biotic is a probiotic ingredient that is gaining popularity in cosmetics due to its association with health, wellness, and sustainability.
