Advanced Solutions MariMoist® KPF (R10097) is a sustainable marine biopolymer derived from Chondrus crispus aquatic plants with bio-derived high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA), a glycosaminoglycan that is an important natural component of skin. Referred to as the “aloe of the ocean,” MariMoist® KPF is a water-soluble, viscous, hydrocolloid-flowing gel with the highest standards of consistency, quality, and purity.   MariMoist® KPF provides water delivery and a unique textural sensation, improving the aesthetic and tactile properties of finished products while helping to build “body” and impart a rich, luxurious feel. MariMoist® KPF has been demonstrated to bind and deliver water for optimal hydration of the skin, scalp, and hair. Acting as a humectant, MariMoist® KPF is an emollient liquid that instantly moisturizes and softens dry skin.   Applications for MariMoist® KPF include an emollient and hydrator in skin and hair products and a formulation aid or aesthetic modifier of product viscosity and body. MariMoist® KPF is an excellent base for formulations.

Cogesome® RL (R10115) is a novel and proprietary pro-liposome formulation that encapsulates retinol (vitamin A) for superior penetration into the skin, improved stability, and optimal miscibility in aqueous systems. The power of retinol is undisputed, accelerating epidermal renewal and enhancing collagen and hyaluronic acid production to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging and improve the skin’s overall appearance. Properly managed retinol is one of the skin’s best supporters, contributing to a healthy glow and youthful appearance.Ex vivo data demonstrate how Cogesome® RL rapidly penetrates the skin, enhancing the penetration and delivery of retinol from the skin’s surface deep into the skin to maximize efficacy. Cogesome® RL significantly reduces biofilm-forming skin resident Cutibacterium acnes, a microbial culprit of blemish flare-ups and skin inflammation. Cogesome® RL is well suited for applications in anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, and anti-blemish formulas, skin exfoliating and resurfacing products, and regimens targeting sun damage and hyperpigmentation.

Advanced Solutions MariMoist® (R10041) is a sustainable marine biopolymer derived from Chondrus crispus aquatic plants with bio-derived high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA), a glycosaminoglycan that is an important natural component of skin.

MariMoist® is an excellent base for formulations.

DermalRx® Acetygen® (R10117) is a botanical active ingredient featuring Agrimonia eupatoria and Ampelopsis grossedentata extract with potent phytochemicals (including dihydromyricetin, myricetin, and other bioactive flavonoids). DermalRx® Acetygen® is a potent senolytic and broad-spectrum epigenetic modulator for applications in skin health and wellness, such as anti-aging products targeting oxidative, environmental, and inflammatory damage. DermalRx® Acetygen® enhances natural skin repair mechanisms to help eliminate dysfunctional senescent cells that contribute to signs of tissue aging. By regulating the histone deacetylase (HAT/HDAC) “switch”, DermalRx® Acetygen® epigenetically restores gene expression to levels found in younger skin for a renewed extracellular matrix (ECM). DermalRx® Acetygen® protects the skin from oxidative stress and inflammatory damage while rejuvenating the tissue for a youthful, healthy appearance. 

DermalRx® FSE (R10111) is a marine bioferment produced from Sargassum vulgare for DNA protection and repair in sun-exposed skin. Rich in bioactive phlorotannins, DermalRx® FSE stimulates the skin’s natural DNA repair process through nucleotide excision repair (NER). Ex vivo studies demonstrate DermalRx® FSE’s DNA protective and reparative effects after UV exposure. DermalRx® FSE also provides strong anti-pollution activity, protecting the skin from damaging oxidation and inflammation. DermalRx® FSE is ideal for anti-aging, de-stressing, soothing and calming, and pre- and post-sun care products.

HEDI® Hemp Seed Oil (R10116) is an elegant water-based microdispersion carrying more than 30% hemp seed oil that is rich in proteins, lecithin, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids: linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3). Applications for HEDI® Hemp Seed Oil include skin, scalp, and hair softening and moisturizing regimens, as well as skin barrier repair and microbiome-modulating products. Hemp seed oil is an excellent emollient that promotes a youthful appearance by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, plumping the skin, and increasing skin elasticity. HEDI® Hemp Seed Oil is a natural, plant-derived silicone alternative.HEDI® products are stable ingredient blends of aqueous and oil-based materials made using a unique manufacturing process. HEDI® products are ultra-concentrated homogeneous constructs that are infinitely dilutable in aqueous systems. HEDI® products have superior aesthetics while simplifying formulation and manufacturing processes and enhancing the delivery of active ingredients in the formula. HEDI® products can be adjusted to achieve a consistency that is milk-like (pourable and even sprayable), creamy, or paste-like. Tactile properties can be light and silky or velvety and more occlusive. HEDI® products streamline manufacturing processes for time, energy, and cost savings by avoiding additional heating, melting, and mixing steps. HEDI® products are amenable to cold processes and do not require surfactants or emulsifiers.HEDI® products have properties similar to the skin barrier, promoting skin permeability and facilitating delivery through the lipid-rich, waterproof stratum corneum. Finished products have a better feel and provide superior surface coverage when compared to traditionally formulated butters and oils.

Pleiotanicals® Volpura® EPO (R10125) is a plant-derived active ingredient extracted from Echinacea purpurea, known for its abundance in various active compounds, notably fatty acid alkylamides. This ingredient demonstrates the ability to activate PPAR-γ, which serves as the master regulator of adipogenesis. Its benefits lie in enhancing fat production by stimulating the differentiation of pre-adipocytes into adipocytes. This property makes it suitable for incorporation into formulations targeting anti-wrinkle effects, particularly for addressing expression lines in the forehead and nasolabial fold areas. Additionally, it finds application in facial contouring, re-firming, and plumping regimens aimed at addressing age-related lipoatrophy.
