innollient™ SL is a soft wax mainly composed of vegetable fatty acids that can create hydrophilic pockets interacting with water molecules through hydrogen bonding. A structural characteristic of innollient™ SL is the use of saturated lipophilic acyl linear chains as capping groups in the estolide assemblage. This provides excellent film-forming properties to the product while reinforcing inter-molecular interactions. The main benefits offered are the film-forming action and a unique emollient capacity coupled with a significant improvement of the skin barrier function.

PolyAquol™ OS2 is a patented, naturally derived W/O polyglycerol self-emulsifier. It can be used for cold-processed emulsions and generates W/O emulsions with a light texture and skin feel. It is compatible with silicone derivatives and enhances the emulsifying properties of other emulsifiers. This natural emulsifier is well-suited for sunscreen and makeup formulations that contain powders and pigments. This natural emulsifier is Ecocert and Cosmos approved.

innollient™ LO is a liquid estolide mainly composed of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids with hydrophilic groups that have a high affinity for water molecules. A structural feature of innollient™ LO is the presence of a Guerbet derivative, creating a lipophilic lateral branch. This derivative imparts fluidity and low-friction characteristics to the product. It has an excellent capability in dispersing pigments and UV filters, making it particularly suitable for makeup and sun care formulations. The main benefits provided by this product are its spreadability index, and a unique skin feel comparable to a silicone touch, coupled with a significant improvement in skin resiliency.

Eceryl™ 12 is an ester derived from erucic fatty acids and acts as a co-surfactant with emollient and solubilizing properties. It reduces skin redness and disruption of the skin barrier function caused by surfactant penetration. Eceryl™ 12 is synthesized with glycerin, an endogenous component of the skin known for its humectant properties. Erucic acid is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid (22:1 -9) found in rapeseed oil (Brassica napus).

PolyAquol™ 2W is a patented, naturally derived O/W polyglycerol self-emulsifier. It has a wide range of formulation compatibility while providing a unique skin feel to emulsions. Functionally, it can generate highly organized liquid crystals, which are important for providing stability to the emulsion and ensuring compatibility with the skin. Clinically, it has been shown to prevent and repair damage to the skin barrier function caused by UV exposure. Studies conducted on skin microbiota have also demonstrated that PolyAquol™ 2W preserves and selectively restores the cutaneous microflora.

innollient™ SB is a cosmetic soft paste emollient with several key features, including a sensorial butter texture, an estolide structure, superior film-forming action, improved formulation texture, unique emollient benefits, and a long-lasting effect. It is soluble in oils and cosmetic alcohols when warmed.

PolyAquol™ LW forms O/W emulsions in a cold-process environment while achieving very low levels of viscosity. It can be incorporated in the water phase or oil phase independently. The selection of highly purified polyglyceryl and fatty acid building blocks coupled with molecular engineering know-how led to the creation of PolyAquol™-LW (patent pending). It is suitable for "one-pot" emulsions and low-energy processes, avoiding the use of heat or homogenization. Additionally, its Cosmos approval and palm-free origin make it an ideal candidate for green formulations.

Regenesea™ LS is an anti-aging active ingredient extracted from the alga Laminaria saccharina, which is exposed to extreme cold conditions along Canadian coasts where it is harvested. These environmental conditions endow the marine algae with biological properties concentrated in the active ingredient Regenesea™ LS. The anti-aging clinical actions of the product can be explained by a reinforcement of the extracellular matrix (collagen network) and the Dermo-Epidermal Junction (tenascin and biglycan). Such metabolic and structural positive responses help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, improve the visco-elastic properties of the skin, provide cellular rejuvenation and activate a global epidermal reactivation.

Activoil™ Echnidium ZRO is an oil-soluble active ingredient that protects the skin against chemical damage. It is made from three main components: echium seed oil as the matrix, enhanced with an antioxidant and an extract derived from Cnidium monnieri. Echium seed oil is a rare source of stearidonic acid, while Cnidium monnieri is a small red berry used in traditional Chinese medicine. All these three components are combined in a stabilized and ready-to-use active ingredient.

PolyAquol™ VO4 is a new, patented technology in the field of emulsions. Unlike standard emulsifiers, it literally creates a Water-and-Oil Fusion; W+O. It is completely natural, as per its Cosmos certification and palm-free origin, and performs even in the presence of 100% vegetable oil. PolyAquol™-VO4 is an easily pourable liquid that allows for the formation of cold-process emulsions. Its ability to accept up to 80% of internal water phase provides full control over the viscosity of the final emulsion. It can create stable emulsions when used in a concentration as low as 2%, and surpasses competition in robustness and sensory appeal.

Liceryl™ 12 is an ester derived from linoleic fatty acids and acts as a co-surfactant with emollient and solubilizing properties. It reduces skin redness and disruption of the skin barrier function caused by surfactant penetration. Liceryl™ 12 is synthesized with glycerin, an endogenous component of the skin known for its humectant properties. Linoleic acid is an unsaturated omega-6 fatty acid (18:2 -6) and is prevalent in soybean oil (Glycine max).
