Slim-Excess® is a nature-based active derived from red algae and was BASF’s first active for both face and body products, supporting anti-aging, skin tone, and skin synergy claims. Whether due to hormonal imbalances or lifestyle, excess fat stored in the face and body is detrimental to the harmonious proportions associated with beauty. Fat deposits in the face, for example, tend to sag with age and form a double chin, jowls, and bags under the eyes. This leads to a slackness in the oval of the face.

Linked-Papain™ C-MPB is a stabilized papain for better exfoliation efficacy. By crosslinking papain to a polymer, the stability of the enzyme is increased, allowing for better exfoliation of the skin. Linked-Papain™ is positioned for products, providing smoother skin, increased luminosity, and softer skin.

Oligolin® BC10028 is a skin rejuvenation ingredient that supports the skin’s natural processes of densification, helping the skin have a firmer appearance. Thanks to the progress of medicine and technology, the aging of populations is a global phenomenon. Longer life expectancies mean more time to help prolong the skin’s youth. Indeed, with age, the skin becomes thinner, the dermal epidermal junction (DEJ) flattens, and dermis density decreases. Skin loses its capacity to restructure tissue; its firmness drops, and it becomes drier.

PROBIOLIFT™ is a probiotherapy cosmetic ingredient made of millions of live but dormant Lactobacillus crispatus bacteria, which are naturally found on the skin. 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. When activated by water on the skin, PROBIOLIFT™ increases dermal density, improves the appearance of forehead wrinkles, and protects skin from oxidative stress. Unlike other biotics on the cosmetic market, PROBIOLIFT™ uses a bacterium that is naturally present on the skin. PROBIOLIFT™ is perfectly complemented by Postbiolift, which is derived from the same biofermentation process.

Collrepair® DG BC10036 was created by the experts at BASF to help protect against the compromise of skin due to the Maillard reaction. One of the lesser-known negative effects of a diet high in sugar is premature aging of the skin. In a chemical reaction known as glycation, or the Maillard reaction, the skin’s structure is compromised because elastin and collagen lose functionality. Collrepair® DG helps support the skin’s natural process of regaining flexibility to enable a youthful, fresh tone.
