Hydrasensyl® Glucan Green merges the beneficial properties of hyaluronic acid and collagen. Its structure enables Hydrasensyl® Glucan to bind large amounts of water in the skin like a natural water super-absorber. At the same time, the polysaccharide chains are intertwined to form a rope-like, highly resilient triple helix like collagen.

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.

Hydagen® Aquaporin is made of highly concentrated glyceryl glucoside. One of the fundamental processes of life is the transportation of water molecules through the surface layer of the cells. The structure of these channels was clarified in the 1990s, and the corresponding proteins were named aquaporins. The discovery of these water canals was awarded with the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 2003. BASF now makes one of the best-known aquaporin-supporting substances available to the broad cosmetic market. Clinical studies show that Hydagen® Aquaporin boosts the moisturizing capacity of glycerin for instant and 24-hour hydration.

Tinovis® ADE is an anionic acrylic copolymer dispersed in a hydrogenated polydecene carrier phase. It is designed for use in a range of applications in the cosmetics industry, specifically in skin creams, moisturizers, and toners.

Tinovis® ADE primarily functions as a thickener, gelling agent, and promotes good spreading characteristics. It also serves as an opacifier and a spreading and stabilizing agent.

Ultra Filling Spheres® C00487 technology is based on the ability of dehydrated and cross-linked spheres to penetrate the upper layers of the epidermis and to absorb the water that evaporates from the deep dermis. Thanks to their hygroscopic properties, the volume of the spheres increases rapidly. Thus inflated, they tighten the skin, causing wrinkles to appear smoothed and leaving a skin surface that feels elastic with long lasting hydration.

Proteasyl® PW PSE LS 8951 is a natural polypeptidic ingredient that helps to enhance skin elasticity. It is designed to address the issue of depleted tonicity signal emitters in the skin that cause a loss of firmness and elasticity with age. Proteasyl® PW PSE LS 8951 works by supporting the body's ability to produce proteoglycans and fibers, which emit a strong tonicity signal at all levels in the skin. Additionally, it helps to prevent the jamming of the tonicity signal by proteases that break down the proteoglycan and fiber network.

It gently manages the frizz of curly hair without weighing it down and offers nourishment to damaged, coily hair. It can also act as a clean alternative to petroleum-based petrolatum, as the ingredients have very similar sensory and occlusivity properties. Cetiol® SoftFeel is applicable in a variety of beauty and personal care applications.

Marine Filling Spheres™ are dehydrated microspheres of marine collagen and glycosaminoglycans that have the capacity to rehydrate in the presence of water and regain their initial volume. When they are small and dehydrated, they swell in the presence of water in the skin. Their volume is multiplied 10x. This volume change causes an almost immediate visible smoothing of the skin surface. After remaining in the hollow of the wrinkle, they are degraded by enzymes to slowly release the water initially absorbed, thus being a good moisturizer.

Cetiol® SB 45 is based on the semisolid fat of the shea nut. Skin care products with a rich feel have a special, nurturing appeal. Cetiol® SB 45 gives sunscreens and body butters a luxurious and exotic touch.

Bix'Activ™ BC10050 is an extract of the red lip tree. It has the power to work with the skin’s natural abilities to reduce the oiliness of the skin for more beautiful skin within four weeks of application. Oily skin is not a problem of teenagers only. 58% of women worldwide between the ages of 25 and 34 are concerned about the shininess, enlarged pores, and imperfections that come with oily skin. With more refined-looking pores and the appearance of fewer imperfections and mattified skin, oily skin becomes a thing of the past.

Phytosoothe® LS 9766 helps to protect the skin barrier, which is essential for the body's defense against the environment. The stratum corneum's lipids and structural elements create a physical barrier, while microorganisms on the skin surface and deeper layers form the microbiotic barrier, which defends against pathogens. However, both barriers are vulnerable to damage from environmental factors. Phytosoothe® LS 9766 accelerates the skin's natural recovery after impairment, supporting a healthy microflora, increasing hydration, and reducing trans-epidermal water loss.

Almondermin® LS 3380 is a complex of high-molecular-weight heteropolysaccharides from almond, marshmallow, and flax.
