BIO-HYDRACTYL

BIO-HYDRACTYL is a natural hydro-glycolic active with a composition similar in elements and in functionality to the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). The NMF is a compound of substances responsible of bounding the water at the superficial layers of the skin. It is thus, the responsible of the skin’s hydration.

Product Highlights

BIO-HYDRACTYL is an active ingredient designated to improve the hydro-regulation of the superficial layers of the skin, while supplying energy reserves to the epidermal cells. Its main components are:

  1. PCA (Sodium Pyrrolidone Carboxilate), Main component of the NMF.
  2. Amino acids: Similar to the ones found at the NMF
  3. Polysaccharides: Important hydro-regulation and hydro-retention powers.
  4. Lactic Acid and Urea - GLYCOGEN: Energy and anti-stress supply

BIO-HYDRACTYL can provide the skin cells with analog substances as the one founded at the NMF. We also provide the skin with components with an important capacity of hydro-retention and hydroregulation at the corneocytes level.

Properties

BIO-HYDRACTYL provides the following properties to the skin:

  • Natural moisturizer. Reproduces the skin’s NMF
  • Hydro-retention and hydro-regulation
  • Restrains the dehydration without occlusive effect
  • Improves the flexibility and softness of the skin
  • Reinforce of the epidermal defense and repair capacities by increasing cells’ energy reserves

The moisturizing efficacy of 5% BIO-HYDRACTYL was evaluated in 10 volunteers, compared to placebo, before and one hour after its application.
