It has been well documented that extracts from yeast fermentation, particularly Saccharomyces cerevisiae, have demonstrated wound-healing properties.
Anti-aging
Many people consider preventing skin aging one of their most essential needs. Over the years, the cosmetic industry has strengthened this wish with new formulations and active ingredients. Consumers highly appreciate good looks and well-being.
Active anti-aging ingredients are participating in both directions. The tests on human volunteers demonstrated the positive influence of many modern ingredients and complexes against skin aging.
The active support of energy control in the cells and the prevention of DNA damage are essential steps to counteract the process of accelerated aging, often induced by UV light. The specific combinations of anti-aging ingredients and complexes do even more.
Strong regenerative effects, like stimulating collagen, support the consumer's need for well-being, resulting in improved skin elasticity and wrinkle reduction. The more consumers learn from the concepts and claims of cosmetic products containing anti-aging ingredients, the higher their expectations are. This section fulfills the increasing requirements of quickly learning consumers.Persea Gratissima Oil Unsaponifiables is the fraction of avocado oil that is not saponified in the refining recovery of avocado oil fatty acids. It contains about 30% of phytosterols, mainly Sitosterol, Campesterol, and Stigmasterol.
Persea Gratissima Sterols are active lipid phytosterols from avocados that lessen the inflammatory effects of UV damage to the skin. This indicates that this natural ingredient may help prevent premature skin aging due to UV radiation.
Matrikines are skin messenger peptides that instruct skin cells to reorganize and re-assemble the extracellular matrix. There are a lot of synthetic matricaines usually in the form of lipo-peptides have been used in cosmetics.
PhytosteCol is a complex of encapsulated phytosterol and vitamin C to improve skin barrier function. Based on phytosterol delivery that provides 80% greater penetration into the skin thanks to lipid vesicles, it is a nutraceutical that nourishes and hydrates mature skin.
Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract is a clear orange to brown liquid, a natural ingredient called “The Lance Against Skin Damage,” as it reduces signs of aging due to its antioxidant properties.
Platinum MatrixEM is a synthetic peptide based on TGF (Transforming growth factor) nano-conjugated to platinum particles.
For years, aging induced by sun exposure was called photoaging, attributed only to the UV spectrum of light. However, infrared rays and their heating bring a loss of elasticity and firmness, leading to the appearance of premature wrinkles.
Porphyra Umbilicalis Extract is obtained from red alga and contains isolated mycosporine-like amino acids which are a natural defense component against UVA radiation. The isolated mycosporine-like amino acids absorb maximally at 335 nm with a molar absorption coefficient of 45'000.
Preventhelia® is a tetrapeptide that fights the detrimental effects of UV radiation on human skin, protecting and repairing DNA, thus preventing premature aging.
Progeline™ (Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2; sequence: TFA-Val-Try-Val-OH) is a biomimetic peptide-based complex ingredient that mimics a specific protein Elafin responsible for the inhibition of the Elastase enzyme that breaks down elastin.
Abundant in flavanoid isoflavones, Kudzu roots extract leaves potent antioxidant, mild estrogenic, and skin whitening effects. It also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory actions.
Quintescine™ IS is a peptide-based complex ingredient that mimics glutathione action leaving antioxidant, anti-glycation, and anti-aging effect on the skin.
Red clover extract has an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, it improves hair density and protects cells against early aging.
Regen Plus is a botanical complex with hydration and anti-wrinkle effects for mature skin. It results from advanced encapsulation and the technology of combined molecular covers and can be applied to already proven efficacious active ingredients (isoflavones).
In our dermis, the lower structural layer of the skin mainly lies the distinction between youth and senescence. The alteration in such dermal architecture causes the major and most significant visible changes between young and aged skin.
Rich in phenolic acids, flavonoid glycosides, Restharrow root extract, it has potent antioxidant properties, protecting skin from free radicals and preserving UV-induced photoaging.
Reticap is a polymeric microencapsulated retinol specifically designed to keep its activity due to the stability enhancement in its formulation. This complex is a stable aqueous dispersion.
Retinol 15 D is a vitamin complex, yellow oil that may crystallize at temperatures below 0 °C; approx. 15 % solution of retinol in caprylic/capric triglyceride stabilized with BHT. It is miscible with fats and oils.
Retinyl Acetate is a vitamin A ester with acetic acid, an active ingredient for skin and oral care applications. It is an oily yellow liquid at room temperature (it may contain some crystals of vitamin A acetate) with a mild odor.
Retinyl Palmitate is a stable form of vitamin A that acts as a skin normalizer, this nutrient helps remind the cells of what they "did" when they were young. In addition, it nourishes the skin when applied topically.
Retinyl Palmitate/Carrot Polypeptide is an ingredient known under the trade name Vitazyme™ A. It is a retinyl palmitate polypeptide conjugate, where retinyl palmitate bonded covalently with a natural polypeptide derived from a carrot.
RetiStar™ is a stabilized retinol in an oily dispersion. Traditionally, retinol in formulation requires the use of inert gas technology during manufacturing and packaging for its stability.
Revital Eyes is a specialized botanical complex for eye care applications with anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, anti-dark circles, and undereye bag effects. It is a balanced formula with four active ingredients: probiotics, Green tea and Pomegranate extracts, and Caffeine.
Rhodiola rosea, also known as Arctic root or Golden root, is a member of the Crassulaceae family, a family of plants native to the Arctic regions of Eastern Siberia and grows at high altitudes.
Rooibos (Aspalathus Linearis) leafs wild-harvested in the Cederberg region (a small area in South Africa) are potent antioxidants, high in polyphenols and rich in minerals.
It is thought that the Greeks first brought the rose from Greece to southern Italy. They believed the red rose came from the blood of the goddess Aphrodite, whose foot got stuck in a thorn while trying to help Adonis.
Rosa Canina oil softens skin and is high in essential fatty acids. It helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and repairs damaged skin.
Rosa Damascena Flower Water is a clear, transparent liquid with an adorable rose odor. Thanks to its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, Damask rose water significantly decreases edema by inhibiting the mediators of inflammation.
