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.

HEDI® Shea Butter SF (R10105) is a unique water-based microdispersion of shea butter with organic-certified babassu oil, plant-derived squalane, sunflower-derived phospholipids, and vitamin E. The triglycerides (fat) in shea butter are derived mainly from stearic acid and oleic acid. Organic certified babassu oil is extracted from wild-picked fruits of the babassu palm tree, offering softening properties with glycerides of lauric, myristic, and oleic acids. HEDI® Shea Butter SF is an excellent emollient, conditioner, and moisturizer that revitalizes dull, dry skin and promotes skin renewal. Applications for HEDI® Shea Butter SF include moisturizing treatments for very dry, rough, and cracked skin, skincare products for sensitive skin, and skin, scalp, and hair care conditioning formulas. HEDI® Shea Butter SF can be used in many care products, such as moisturizing creams and emulsions, sunscreens, lip gloss, makeup primers, facial masks, sunless tanning products, hair conditioners, and soaps.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.

DermalRx® SRC-R (R10099) is a yeast-derived oligopeptide that promotes skin renewal by stimulating natural exfoliation via gentle and selective desquamation. Clinical testing demonstrates that DermalRx® SRC-R enhances exfoliation to reduce skin roughness and improve the appearance of wrinkles in four weeks. DermalRx® SRC-R gently loosens coarse keratinized cells at the surface, delivering results for applications in anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, anti-blemish, skin brightening, and exfoliation products. DermalRx® SRC-R is clinically demonstrated to restore skin texture and radiance with documented improvements in the appearance of hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. DermalRx® SRC-R is a selective exfoliant for safe, effective skin renewal.

Pleiotanicals® Scavenox® HH (R10109) is a highly stable green tea extract with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) for long-term antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-brightening activity. Applications for Scavenox® HH include anti-aging and anti-blemish regimens, skin-brightening and skin tone-balancing systems, and soothing and calming products for sensitive skin. Scavenox® HH protects the skin from oxidative stress with the demonstrated ability to prevent UV-induced lipid peroxidation and scavenging of singlet oxygen. Scavenox® HH also inhibits inflammatory and proteolytic (MMPs and elastase) damage for protection against UV radiation, pollution, and other environmental stressors. These activities offer skin protection and renewal by preserving collagen and other components of the extracellular matrix (ECM, the structural foundation of the skin). Scavenox® HH prevents excessive melanin production to combat hyperpigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase activity.
