POSTBIOLIFT™ is a bioactive ingredient derived from the biofermentation process of Lactobacillus crispatus. It contains dormant cells of the living bacterium, which contributes to more elastic skin, a smoother appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, and an even complexion. 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. POSTBIOLIFT™ is the first cosmetic ingredient to use this "youth bacterium" found naturally on the skin, offering unique benefits that other biotics on the market lack. When used in conjunction with Postbiolift, which contains the fermentation supernatant of Lactobacillus crispatus, POSTBIOLIFT™ offers a comprehensive solution for maintaining youthful-looking skin.

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.

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.
