VEGESERYL® HGP LS 9874 is a plant-based skin care ingredient that is designed to provide lifting and tightening effects. It is composed of native high molecular weight soy proteins that help reduce wrinkles, firm the skin, and improve its elasticity and suppleness.

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.

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.

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. This 3D structure makes Hydrasensyl® Glucan highly stable and insensitive to harsh formulation conditions. Besides its clinically demonstrated skin smoothing and hydrating properties, it helps to reduce the appearance of redness.

Neurobiox® BC10097 is a natural active that has extraordinary effects on the skin. By using it, the imperfections appear to be erased, wrinkles and pores look reduced, and the skin is left feeling velvety soft. It was developed by the beauty care solutions team in response to the consumer's quest for radiance and a desire to blur skin imperfections. Neurobiox® also enhances the appearance of skin luminosity and can be used for any global anti-aging product.

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.

Dermican® SPB LS 9837 is a synthetic tetrapeptide that helps counteract this by improving skin’s natural firmness and thickness for a comprehensive anti-aging effect. As people age, they tend to lose the skin’s ability to synthesize collagen decreases, resulting in thinner, frailer skin. Dermican® SPB LS 9837 helps with counteracting this process.

Dermican® PW LS 9838 is a synthetic tetrapeptide that helps counteract this by improving skin’s natural firmness and thickness for a comprehensive anti-aging effect. As people age, they tend to lose the skin’s ability to synthesize collagen decreases, resulting in thinner, frailer skin. Dermican® PW LS 9838 helps with counteracting this process.

Vit-A-Like® PW LS 9898 is an alternative to retinol that has a comparable mechanism of action, equivalent performance, but with improved tolerance and stability. Retinol, a form of vitamin A, is considered as a benchmark for anti-aging products. Retinol, however, can be unstable and difficult to work with and can induce skin irritation, making it incompatible for sensitive skin formulations. In response to these issues, BASF developed Vit-A-Like™.

BETAPUR® is a carefully selected plant extract that helps soothe irritated skin, reduce the look of imperfections on acne-prone skin, and reduce the appearance of oily skin. By bolstering the skin’s own defense against bacteria, the skin’s texture, complexion, and radiance all improve, and the appearance of imperfections are reduced or eliminated within 4 weeks of application.

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. This plant-powered extract contributes to the look and feel of denser and firmer skin for more harmonious facial definition. All species play a role in the equilibrium of nature, and BASF experts have tapped into the natural power of Sea Buckthorn to support the balance of key skin functions.

Hyaluronic Filling Spheres® are based on the use of a hygroscopic material to make a sphere. These spheres are dehydrated at first and fill up with water within the skin. This hydration process causes a change in volume proportional to the spheres’ moisture-retaining capacity. Hyaluronic Filling Spheres™ help to smooth the look of deep wrinkles through biotechnology in eye application for mature skin, anti-wrinkle skin care, deep wrinkle skin care ("elevens" wrinkles, forehead wrinkles, nasogenian folds), and intense moisturizing skin care.

AH-CARE® G-60 is a complex of glycolic acid and L-arginine. It provides the powerful exfoliating action of glycolic acid without the irritating effect. AH-CARE® G-60 brings exfoliation, moisturization, and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to all skin types, including those with sensitive skin.

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.

Asebiol® LS 9853 1KG IP23 is a precious active complex containing Vitamin B3, Vitamin B7, panthenol, and allantoin. Asebiol® visibly reduces the appearance of skin imperfections and oiliness of the hair and skin. Its applications include skin care, hair care, and cosmetics.

Tinogard® TL is a broad-spectrum UV light stabilizer that protects light-sensitive colorants, fragrances, and actives from photolytic degradation. It reduces the viscosity loss of acrylate-based gels and inhibits light-induced yellowing. Tinogard® TL is non-ionic, oil- and alcohol-soluble, and can be easily incorporated into oil- or aqua-based systems. It usually needs to be pre-mixed with a fragrance, emollient, non-ionic surfactant, or solubilizer.

PeptAIde® 4.0 is clinically demonstrated to aid the body’s natural defenses against silent inflammation. It is characterized by four multifunctional peptides, whose discovery has been made possible by the cutting-edge digital technology of artificial intelligence (AI). With the help of a controlled enzymatic hydrolysis process, these peptides were specifically excised from organic rice proteins. PeptAIde® 4 is scientifically demonstrated to prevent dry skin, discomfort, and loss of firmness while soothing a sensitive scalp prone to dandruff. Acute inflammation is the body’s natural response to heal and fight infection. Chronic silent inflammation, however, can fight against healthy cells, cause disease, and accelerate the body’s degeneration. The effects of this long process are almost invisible in young people, but it gradually creates deep damage to the skin and hair.

Ciste'M BC10023™ is an extract of rockrose adapted to an arid climate. It protects skin from the aging effects of outdoor sun exposure, air pollutants, and indoor exposure to blue light. Skin aging is driven by several complex factors, including damage from light. Blue light radiating from cell phones or computers or UVB radiation from the sun can deeply penetrate the skin and damage the dermis.

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.
