This botanical alternative to hyaluronic acid gives a silky complexion within minutes and keeps skin hydrated for 24 hours.

Vit-A-Like® PW LS 9898 is an alternative to retinol that has a comparable mechanism of action, equivalent performance, but with improved tolerance and stability. Retinol, a form of vitamin A, is considered as a benchmark for anti-aging products. Retinol, however, can be unstable and difficult to work with and can induce skin irritation, making it incompatible for sensitive skin formulations. In response to these issues, BASF developed Vit-A-Like™.

BETAPUR® is a carefully selected plant extract that helps soothe irritated skin, reduce the look of imperfections on acne-prone skin, and reduce the appearance of oily skin. By bolstering the skin’s own defense against bacteria, the skin’s texture, complexion, and radiance all improve, and the appearance of imperfections are reduced or eliminated within 4 weeks of application.

Dermican® PW LS 9838 is a synthetic tetrapeptide that helps counteract this by improving skin’s natural firmness and thickness for a comprehensive anti-aging effect. As people age, they tend to lose the skin’s ability to synthesize collagen decreases, resulting in thinner, frailer skin. Dermican® PW LS 9838 helps with counteracting this process.

Equistat™ offers a reduction in wrinkle appearance and anti-inflammatory effects. It is used in anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, moisturization, and skin care products for all types of skin. Additionally, it is used in post-sun and treatment makeup products. Equistat™ has anti-glycation and anti-irritation benefits.

Hyaluronic Filling Spheres® are based on the use of a hygroscopic material to make a sphere. These spheres are dehydrated at first and fill up with water within the skin. This hydration process causes a change in volume proportional to the spheres’ moisture-retaining capacity. Hyaluronic Filling Spheres™ help to smooth the look of deep wrinkles through biotechnology in eye application for mature skin, anti-wrinkle skin care, deep wrinkle skin care ("elevens" wrinkles, forehead wrinkles, nasogenian folds), and intense moisturizing skin care.

Myritol® 331 is a modified coconut oil. It is a medium-spreading emollient with very good emulsifiability. It is particularly suited for sun care formulations due to its solubilizing capacity for crystalline UV filters and dispersing properties for pigments. This product is a low-viscous, clear, slightly yellowish oil.

Eperuline® PW LS 9627 is an aqueous extract from the bark of the tree Eperua falcata Aubl that has anti-irritation properties. Our bodies perform less efficiently with age; the once well-oiled cell machinery deteriorates, and we become more sensitive to environmental changes. Everyday aggressors such as UV and pollution trigger the release of pro-inflammatory markers that cause low-grade chronic inflammation that is distributed across the body. This mechanism, known as inflamm'aging, results in permanent, silent, and invisible inflammation. It causes cell degeneration and damages the tissues that maintain the inflammation, leading to accelerated aging. To break the vicious circle of silent inflammation, BASF experts developed Eperuline® PW. By fighting against age-related chronic micro-inflammation, it helps improve skin's firmness, elasticity, and tonicity, while reducing the appearance of sagging to maintain a youthful look.

Lox-age® supports the body's ability to release the skin's own multi-active LOX, which helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and pore visibility and smooth the skin's surface for a youthful and radiant look. Aggressive medical resurfacing procedures may offer similar results, but these can destabilize the epidermal structure and integrity. This all-natural, plant-based active ingredient noticeably improves skin smoothness and youthfulness and adds a highly appealing, verifiable claim to various anti-aging products with a clinical efficacy similar to retinol. Lox-age®improves epidermal architecture and is perceived to be as effective as retinol for improving wrinkles and skin appearance.

RNAge® helps rebalance the natural production of the skin’s own structural-forming substances, counteracting the appearance of skin sagging and tightening or toning facial features. This plant-powered extract contributes to the look and feel of denser and firmer skin for more harmonious facial definition. All species play a role in the equilibrium of nature, and BASF experts have tapped into the natural power of Sea Buckthorn to support the balance of key skin functions.

Firmiderm® LS 9120 is a blend of plant extracts that are designed to provide tensing, firming, and astringent effects on the skin, making it an effective anti-aging solution.

BASF initiated the exploration of the rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) tree’s various cosmetic properties with the ambition to ensure the sustainable use of the resource and generate a positive impact on the supply chain's development.

Dermican® SPB LS 9837 is a synthetic tetrapeptide that helps counteract this by improving skin’s natural firmness and thickness for a comprehensive anti-aging effect. As people age, they tend to lose the skin’s ability to synthesize collagen decreases, resulting in thinner, frailer skin. Dermican® SPB LS 9837 helps with counteracting this process.

Retinol Primasphere® L2 PF is an anti-aging and anti-wrinkle agent, designed to protect the skin against photo-aging, prevent wrinkles, and promote healthy-looking skin.

POSTBIOLIFT™ is a bioactive ingredient derived from the biofermentation process of Lactobacillus crispatus. It contains dormant cells of the living bacterium, which contributes to more elastic skin, a smoother appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, and an even complexion. As skin microbiota diversity changes with age, certain beneficial lactic acid bacteria decrease in mature skin. BASF researchers found that Lactobacillus crispatus is one such bacterium, decreasing in specific skin areas and disappearing from the wrinkle hollows of older individuals. POSTBIOLIFT™ is the first cosmetic ingredient to use this "youth bacterium" found naturally on the skin, offering unique benefits that other biotics on the market lack. When used in conjunction with Postbiolift, which contains the fermentation supernatant of Lactobacillus crispatus, POSTBIOLIFT™ offers a comprehensive solution for maintaining youthful-looking skin.

Perlaura® helps support the natural homeostasis and integrity of the skin by restoring an enviable glow. It is clinically demonstrated to improve the radiance, texture, and complexion of the skin, smoothing out the appearance of wrinkles and evening out skin tone for a healthy and youthful look.
