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.

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.

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.

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.
