We have been waiting for years for Nutricosmetics to become a boom market, but in the European mainstream this sector has not yet developed. Nevertheless there is a reasonable list of interesting ingredients available to develop “internal” cosmetics. palm tocotrienol/tocopherol complex (promoted as “super vitamin E”) de- rived from non-GMO red palm oil and produced by Carotech via proprietary technology. Clinical studies show that supplementation with the active pro- motes hair growth and increases the number of hairs in individuals experi- encing hair loss. Sea Solutions from Copalis is a range of ingredients with oral cosmet- ics activity. Collactive, a marine based all natural ingredient, is composed of marine collagen and elastin peptides in the same ratio found naturally in the skin. When taken orally collagen and elastin have shown a synergistic anti- wrinkle action while increasing skin moisture retention. Gelita’s latest clinical study, and the results on skin biophysical parameters related to cutaneous ageing, show that Verisol Bioactive Collagen Peptides improve skin elasticity as well as the appearance of facial wrinkles. In the International Journal of Cos- metic Science in September G. Jenkins et al. presented a double-blind place- bo-controlled randomized study show- ing that the consumption of a mixture 20 COSSMA 11I2013 FOCUS: COSMECEUTICALS + MORE INGREDIENTS of soy isoflavones, lycopene, vitamin C, vitamin E and fish oil is able to in- duce a clinically measurable improve- ment in the depth of facial wrinkles fol- lowing long-term use. For the first time it was shown with an oral product that the improvement is associated with increased deposition of new collagen fibres in the dermis. Recently obtained new data is showing that Kewpie’s food grade Hyabest (S) LFP, a hyaluronic acid for skin beauty supplements, when taken orally suppresses skin damage due to ultraviolet radiation. The data, involv- ing hairless mice, showed that daily oral administration of an equivalent of 200 mg of hyaluronic acid for six weeks significantly suppressed the decrease in skin moisture volume and resultant wrinkle formation associated with ul- traviolet radiation. Previously conduct- ed testing showed a significant in- crease in skin moisture, along with other improvements, as a result of six weeks of daily oral intake of 120 mg of hyaluronic acid. Patented PhytoFloral from IBR are colourless carotenoids which can re- place traditional coloured carotenoids, protect against UV-A and UV-B rays and boost sun protection, in addition to exhibiting an anti-ageing property by quenching free radicals on the skin and inhibiting collagenase synthesis, promoting skin lightening by inhibit- ing melanin production in the skin and having anti-inflammatory properties. However, the nutrition business is also seeing topically applied cosmet- ics becoming a market best seller. If, for instance, we look at Seppic’s on-line formulations data base, Cosmetofood, and the desired product category (e.g. exfoliants) as well as at an ingredient from that company, such as Sepimax Zen then the formulation exfoliating tapenade is given. AM Nutricosmetics Sophisticated ingredients Dietary supplement based on lingonberry seed oil for improved skin moisture level, elasticity and thickness, as well as a reduction in wrinkles photo:Aromtech photo:Seppic A rctic Beauty Pearls, Aromtech’s natural berry product, is a new beauty and wellness supple- ment based on lingonberry seed oil. This ‘vege-capsule’ supplement pro- vides a combination of anti-ageing ingredients and the daily supply of Omega-3. CO2-extracted oil from lin- gonberry seeds is high in the essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and gamma-tocotrienol which is associat- ed with strong antioxidant activity. A clinical trial with 30 women showed that the new product improves skin hydration, skin elasticity and density, and reduces wrinkles.
