Products

Dehyquart® F 75 T is a quaternary compound of conditioning and emulsifying ingredients. This product is suited for the preparation of hair conditioning creams and emulsions. Its typical application concentrations are 2 - 5%. Due to the high content of quaternary ammonium salt, the addition of further consistency giving factors like, e.g., Lanette® O, is recommended. Dehyquart® F 75 T is a white to yellowish wax-like product that is supplied in pellets. It has a cationic surfactant (MW 800) of 65 - 72%, an acid value of 5 - 12, a pH value (5%) of 2.0 - 3.5, and a color gardner of 0 - 4. The most favorable conditioning and stability properties are obtained in a pH range of 3 - 5.

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.

Jordapon® SCI is a very high-activity, solid sodium cocoyl isethionate. It is used in syndet bars, combo bars, liquid soaps, facial cleansers, body cleansers, and shampoos. It has high foaming performance, extreme mildness, as well as soft and silky skin after-feel characteristics.

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.

It is suitable for formulations of natural cosmetic products according to the COSMOS and NATRUE standards.

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.

Tinogard® TL is a broad-spectrum UV light stabilizer that protects light-sensitive colorants, fragrances, and actives from photolytic degradation.
