Lipofructyl® Argan LS 9779 is made from one of the traditional beauty secrets of Moroccan women, argan oil. With the help of a 100% female cooperative network, the argan oil used in this product is collected in a way that helps preserve the Argania forest and improve the social status of Moroccan women. Lipofructyl® is a precious oil that is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and natural tocopherols that are nourishing, regenerating, and protective. When applied to the skin, argan oil spreads easily and penetrates rapidly without giving an oily or shiny effect, leaving an extraordinary softness and sensory skin feel.

Proteasyl® TP LS 8657 Connected skin is a firm and elastic skin benefiting from proteoglycans and fibers emitting a strong tonicity signal at all levels in the skin. With age, these tonicity signal emitters become depleted in the skin causing the tonicity signal to lower. In addition, proteases jam the tonicity signal by breaking the proteoglycans and fiber network. Proteasyl® TP LS 8657 is a natural polypeptidic ingredient that quickly works with the body’s ability to enhance skin elasticity.

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.

Inolixir™ is a unique subcritical water extract of the Chaga mushroom that is harvested from the wild in the birch forests of Canada. By optimizing its extraction method, it is harvested with a high level of polyphenols for improved irritation curbing properties.

Hyalurosmooth® PW LS 8997 is a natural, botanically derived, high molecular weight polysaccharide from the seeds of the Indian plant Cassia angustifolia, commonly known as senna. The polysaccharides form a protective film on the skin that strongly binds water and fills in fine lines. By providing intense moisturization the skin appears additionally plumped up, which further contributes to reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles and smoothing the skin's surface. As a result of the smoother surface, light reflection is also improved, leading to increased skin radiance.

Dansonyl® LS 9715 is extracted from the leaves of the African baobab tree. Dansonyl® helps hydrate and protect both skin and hair. It improves the feel of hair and its softness, suppleness, and ease of combing, and creates a protective film on the surface of the hair to protect and reinforce bleached or damaged hair.

It acts mainly as a solvent and solubilizer for a vast number of substances that are only sparingly soluble in water, e.g., essential oils and active ingredients. It also upports rheology (viscosity increase, dimensional stability of toothpaste) by improving body and foam texture/mouthfeel, supports shine and a glossy surface of toothpaste/gel and acts as a humectant.

Luviquat® Excellence is composed of copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone and quaternized vinylimidazole. It is a substantive cationic compound used in shampoos and shower gels, acting as a conditioning and anti-static agent with protective and wet combability-improving properties. It offers substantivity as a conditioning polymer and is a conditioning agent for cosmetic applications such as conditioners, styling products, and body lotions.

BASF AM 600 PF is an opaque liquid that is over 30% silicone in a pourable, sprayable, water-dispersible form. Some of its benefits include nano-dispersion from ultra-high shear processing that improves both texture and ease of formulation, a rich and elegant initial feel, a short to medium play time, and a silky afterfeel. It provides a moisture barrier, reduces tack and drag, and is ideal for sunscreens and water-proofing.

Litchiderm™ LS 9704 is a plant extract from Litchi Chinensis pericarp, a holistic active ingredient that brings essential "well-being" elements to the skin. With the refreshing natural power of lychee, Lichiderm™ moisturizes and enhances the skin's complexion for dazzling beauty.

SolAmaze® Natural solution is globally approved and was developed to maintain the performance of leading synthetic polymers while reducing the persistence in the environment.

Vertasil® TOCOPHERYLOXYPROPYLTRISILOXANE (TM-VE1) is a unique compound resulting from the insertion of tocopherol onto a silicone backbone. This product conditions skin, aiding moisture retention and leaving a long-lasting, smooth residual feel. Due to its solubility in a wide range of compounds, from castor oil to dimethicone/100cs, it can easily be incorporated into anhydrous lip products and emulsions.

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™ 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™ 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.

Glacial Bay Organic Pure Marine Clay is a mineral-rich powder with natural cleansing, purifying, exfoliating, and oil absorption properties. It is ideally suited for use in various personal care and cosmetic applications. This ingredient is sustainably hand-harvested, solar dried, and powdered in British Columbia, Canada.

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.
