Midwest Bioprocessing Center Brand

The iActive™ brand is the line of natural, science-based ingredients for personal care from the Midwest Bioprocessing Center.


Feruloyl Glycerides are new, scientifically developed natural personal care ingredients that combine the UV-absorption and antioxidant properties of ferulic acid with the formulation advantages of natural oils.


Background. Ferulic acid and its derivatives are known to possess powerful UV stabilization and antioxidant properties due to their ability to form stabilized radicals when exposed to environmental oxidants or UV radiation. Because of these properties, ferulic acid has found its way into numerous personal care products and is frequently combined with commonly used UV-sensitive ingredients, such as vitamin E and retinol.


FeruliShield™ – Improved Ferulic Acid Performance. Feruloyl Glycerides are made by enzymatically linking ferulic acid to a triglyceride like soybean or coconut oil. The resulting products are stable, easy to formulate, lipophilic, readily absorbed, and provide long-lasting protection from environmental damage. They also help maintain efficacy of other active ingredients by protecting against photodegredation and can be used as an SPF booster.
